ONE AND ONLY

CHAPTER 79

“Oh wow – Bette – Bette come and look at the view”
Bette dragged her case in and looked at their room. It was huge and right in the centre facing the window was a King size bed . When Emma Kennard decided that her family were going to take a holiday she did it in style – this was luxury.
“Bette”
“The view will still be there in five minutes” Bette said good naturedly but she put her backpack containing her laptop on the bed and walked across to join Tina and see what she was raving about.
“Oh God – wow is the right word” Bette managed to say after a few seconds of taking in the sights – Miami looked gorgeous – blue skies with barely a cloud in it and also a great view of the sea just a few hundred metres away beyond some palm trees.
“Not many palm trees in New York “ Bette said dryly
“You think ! “ Tina laughed “This is just wickedly cool”
“Its just amazing that your parents have been really so cool to invite me”
Tina chuckled “They know I would have sulked and really ruined their holiday if you had been left behind. Plus they will be able to spend some time together without me tagging along. They are adults – they need some alone time now and again and you and I can amuse ourselves”
“There is that of course – this is just beautiful “
“And its what we are going to be waking up to for the next two freaking weeks”
“And each other “
Tina looked at Bette “Oh fuck “
Bette raised an eyebrow at her “Yes sweetie ?”
“Two weeks with you  – sleeping with you every night” Tina said softly and slowly “This is unbelievable “
“Your moms are beyond cool – you do know that ?”
“I do – I don’t think I saw it when I was so at war with myself but yeah – I know that you are right. They have accepted us”
“Lets not forget that we are not going to let them regret trusting us”
Bette said raising an eyebrow
“I know – we will have to keep the screams down – that’s not going to be easy”
“We can be inventive “ Bette took hold of Tina’s hand “But you are right – it is going to be utterly brilliant. I am really looking forward to the next couple of weeks – lots of sun and sex “
“I am sure my mothers feel the same – they both work very hard – its progress that Emma is talking about taking more holidays “
“Well there is no point in having the money they have and not spending it. I am glad my parents are going away as well – it will be good for them after all the stuff that has gone on”
“The sea looks really inviting – I am looking forward to spending time on the beach and there are three pools in this resort “
“Me too – lets sort our clothes out – lets get our stuff unpacked”
“I don’t need to – I can live out of my suitcase “
“You might be able to but I cannot and I cannot see you living out of a case either. You know  that it will drive me crazy – please put your stuff away”
