Discovering Aphrodite
As they ate their dinner and chatted, Tina stopped suddenly as the waiter came to the table yet again, she could hardly believe all the interruptions.
“Can you believe that guy?” Tina said as she smirked and rolled her eyes.
“Why?” Bette said, completely oblivious to the fact he had been paying more attention to their table than any others.
“Are you serious?” Tina asked laughing.
Bette creased her brow in confusion, “I have no idea what you are talking about…” she smiled as Tina looked at her softly.
“The waiter, I think he’s making sure that your glass is topped up over anyone else’s in the restaurant…”
Bette glanced around her and saw the offending waiter, the black haired, intensely eyed, olive skinned young man would be relatively attractive to any female…, who was straight. She rolled her eyes as he winked, suddenly changing her opinion that he actually looked greasy and slimy.
“Ugh…, don’t you just hate guys who think that you’ll drop your pants just because they’ve looked at you and winked…”
Tina laughed, “he has no idea…”
“Well if he comes over again I’ll let him know he’s barking up the wrong tree…”
With their lobster finished, a dessert shared and the bill spilt after a tug between the hands that quickly tried to grab the tab, they slowly walked along the harbour front towards the Medieval Fort.
Tina linked her arm in Bette’s, not even thinking about what she was doing as they slowly walked along.
Bette slowed her pace, looking down at the hand resting gently on her arm. She took a deep breath as she tried to focus on the short walk to the Fort.
Tina glanced at Bette, noticing how Bette had looked at her hand, she immediately began to pull it back, “sorry, I do this all the time with Marcy, it was automatic.”
Bette put her hand over Tina’s stopping her moving it from her arm, “it’s not a problem…,” she swallowed the lump in her throat before adding quietly, “it’s nice…”
“So…, what can you tell me about this Fort…” Tina asked to break the silence as they walked.
Bette smiled, “am I that predictable?”
“Well, I have the feeling that you might have read up about it…”
Bette laughed, “I’m not sure whether you are taking the mickey or you really want to know…”
“Come on, tell me what its all about…, really I am interested, just not as organised as you.”
“Okay…, from what I remember, because I don’t have the book on me…, the Fort was used in the 13th Century but was damaged when the Turkish attacked it…, after that it was restored and they used it as a prison…, oh and you can still go inside to see the dungeons and battlements…”
Tina laughed as she pulled on Bette’s arm, “I thought you didn’t have the book?”
Bette looked to the sky and smiled, “I was prepared…” she laughed, “I looked it up before we came out…”
“Bette?” Tina asked suddenly as they reached the end of the harbour, looking out over the bay as the sun was finally settling, nestling its last rays in the ocean.
“Uhuh?”
“Have you ever had a holiday romance…?”

No, Tina she hasn’t, but my guess is, she may start now with you. Go for it Bette. Tina don’t let her go. AWESOME update. Please post very soon.
Ok, job well done..you’ve broken my silence..you did not seriously just leave us hanging?!? There will be an update shortly, right??? PPVS!!! Anxiously awaiting B’s answer for T ;)
JO!!!!! Awesome story with historical background scenery! Way to go!
I’ve had a little holiday romance, it’s awesome Bette. Go for it!
Bette, you go girlfriend. Post again.
The past is past. What is important now is the holiday romance in the present. Tell me more.
I think the answer will be no, but the smart money says she will! nice story. pps
Well, Bette may not have ever had a holiday romance but I have a very strong feeling that it is about to happen with Ms. Tina Kennard. I love this story Jo and I hope when the vacation is over they will be going back to the same town, LA. lol
Love it !!! I just hope that when the holiday is over they will still be together. Thanks JO PPVS
That was great and sweet, bet don’t have a holiday romance but now let she have it with Ms. Tina Kennard lol. Please post more, thanks!
I’m so in love with this story. If every vacation goes this way, I will take one now. Thanks for this!
Regardless of Bette’s answer, Tina’s definitely interested. And who knows, it might turn out to be more than just a holiday romance. Thanks for the chapter. :)
Lovely story, really enjoying it.
I have a feeling Bette’s luck on Holiday Romance is going to be better than mine! Thanks, Jo.
And that a line that can bring “first,last and forever”.
You are supremely talented. Awesome story. History lesson along w/the romance.
The answer would be no, but I don’t think this romance is gonna stop just because the holiday is over, I think it will go way beyond that!
Haha…I don’t think that Tina will have to twist Bette’s arm too hard for that holiday romance…the question is…will it stay just a holiday romance? Wonderful update Jo and we’re going to need the next one ASAP.
I am liking the build up to the romance.My guess to the question is no for either one of them.We need an update Jo post haste.
*Sigh* Oh that was sooo lovely..Im thinking Bette is in for the “Holiday Romance” of a lifetime..Loving this sweet gentle story…and its just flowing beautifully :)
I am so loving this story. Great great great update. Go for it Bette :) Thank you :)
