*Bette*

Bed rests sucks *****. Thats the thought that goes through my head on an almost continuous loop nowadays. Especially when it isnt your own bed. I am lying in the guest room of Shanes house. It is her house now because Jenny moved back home and sold her half to Shane, who since opening her own salon has been rolling in the money.


Its a month since Tina and I decided to buy the house next door, tear down that house and hours and start anew. Tina and I are staying with Shane while my mother is staying with Kit. That arrangement seems to be working. Between my mother and Kit that is. They are really enjoying the cohabitation. The arrangement with Shane is working really well too.


At eight and a half months pregnant I am quite literally ready to pop and the doctors put me on complete bed rest until the twins are born. I was never one to sit still and do nothing. This is driving me insane. Currently I am staring at the wall trying to figure out which baby is kicking the ***** out of me. I think its Lochlain.

Tina had to go to the center. She promised she’d not be too long but I know she would be a while. I’m okay with it. She is one 911 baby watch though. She has a special ring on her phone and everything.


There is a knock on the door frame as the door is open and I shift my eyes to see Shane standing on the threshold.


Hey B, how are you doing?

I smile, Same as I was the last time you asked.

Sorry, Shane says dipping her head in that cute way that she does

Its okay Shane.

Do you want some company?

I would LOVE some company.

Shane smiles that crooked smile and enters the room sitting on the end of the bed.

Construction on the house is going nicely. I cant believe they almost have it done and theyve only been working for a month.

Deep pockets will do that for you.

Shane smiles, Your mom is sure being generous with her money.


I nod to this, She feels the need to spend large sums of money on me. She says it is her making up for every birthday, Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving and any other holiday that she had missed.


Is she going to stay with Kit after the house is built?

I nod again, She says after further consideration that living with her very horny daughter, her wife and two children would be a little much.

Shane laughs at this, Did she really call you very horny?

Yeah.

Thats cool.

Not really, I say shaking my head causing Shane to laugh again, Say Shane?

Yeah B.

Will you cut my hair?

She raises an eyebrow at this.

I dont mean to the extreme you did with Jenny just a trim. Im getting a little scraggily here, I say pulling on one of my dark curls

Id love to Bette.

I smile at this, Well have to do it from this bed though.

Shane smiles widely at this and it’s not hard to see where her mind went.

Dirty, I say with a grin, Geez that bet you made with Alice of no ***** is really messing with your mind, I state

Shane rolls her eyes, Whatever. From the bed is fine. Let me go get my equipment to do you well.

I laugh at this, Get all of the sexual metaphors out of the way now Shane. Itll make you feel better.

She grins, Ill be back. To do you right.

Rolling my eyes I watch as she leaves the room. I manage to sit myself up and turn slightly so that she can better reach my hair. Shane comes back in with a couple of towels, a spray bottle full of water, a comb and her trusty golden scissors. Sitting behind me I feel her father my hair and start to brush it back. She started spraying my hair with the water wetting it down.

How much do you want cut off, Shane asks me

I turn my head slightly, Use your best judgement Shane.

I can just imagine the smile on her face at the moment. I close my eyes as I just listen to the sound of the scissors. After a few minutes that sound stops and I open my eyes to see my own reflection from the mirror that Shane is holding up in front of my face. I smile.

Very nice Shane, I say to how she cut off probably two and a half inches and layered it a little more than I usually wear it

You really like it?

I set the mirror in my lap, Can you come around to the other side of the bed?

Shane gets up and comes around to face me kneeling on the floor in front of me. I smile down at her.

Its easier for you to move than me, I say by way of explanation

Shane just smiles, I figured that.

I love my hair. Thank you.

You are most welcome.

Shane looks down at her hands for a moment and then back up at me. I can see something different in her eyes when she looks at me. Its kind of a…maturity I never saw before…plus…something else.

Youre in love, I state understanding what the something was

Shane swallows and nods her head, Yeah.

Who is the lucky lady? Do I know her?

You do know her.

Well dont keep me in suspense. Who is it?

Shane takes in a deep breath and lets it out, You.

Pardon?

Shane smiles widely, Im kidding with you. Carmen. You know Carmen.

I playfully swat Shane on the hand that is resting on the bed next to me, Yes I know Carmen. You two have been dating?

Secretly, Shane says

And you havent broken that stupid bet that you made with Alice?

Shane shakes her head to the negative, No.

I smile, True love without the trappings that ***** can sometimes unwillingly provide.

Exactly.

Well I am very happy for you Shane.

Thanks B. You are the first person Ive told out of everyone. Heck I didnt even tell you. You figured it out.

I shrug, It was in your eyes.

Shane smiled at this.

So when are you officially going to announce said love?

Shane shrugs sitting on the bed next to me, I dont know. I just want to wait a little while longer you know. I had this urgent need to tell you about it for some reason.

I nudged Shane with my shoulder and she nudged back, Im glad you told me, or Im glad I figured it out and you told me the rest.

Shane laughed, Me too B, me too. Do you want to watch a movie?

I smiled, Id like that.

Let me take care of this stuff and Ill go grab a movie.

Okay.



*Shane*


Such a weight was lifted from my shoulders at finally telling someone about my love for a certain dark haired temptress that has stolen the heart of yours truly. I always refused to believe that I would ever fall in love; even though I wanted to someday have the type of love that Bette and Tina have.

I just never thought I would. Gathering my stuff I leave the guest room and deposit my things in the kitchen. After this I go into the living room to the wall of movies. Bettes been in an action kind of mood lately. Dont ask me why. Must be the hormones. Grabbing a movie I walk down the hall and into the room. Bette has maneuvered herself so that shes leaning against the headboard with pillows propping her up.

Comfortable, I ask

Not particularly, she smiles

I smile back. I didnt need to get any food or drink cause she has enough of both to feed a small army in here. I place the movie in the DVD player and flop down next to Bette after grabbing a bag of chips and some water.

Comfortable, Bette asks as I lean up against her shoulder

Extremely.

Glad to hear it.

We turn our attention to the movie and I watch Bettes face as she sees what movie it is.

Good choice Shane.

Why thank you.

We watch the opening credits of Air Force One appear and settle down to watch one of our guilty pleasures.


TBC, hope you liked
