A half hour later, Alice was stirring her icecream into gooey mush having completed a token lunch with Bette so they could justify having dessert. "So just how awesome is awesome then?" she asked. Bette spooned her own mush into her mouth slowly licking the spoon clean. "Mind blowing awesome Al, totally mind blowing." Bette said grinning ear to ear. "Stop smiling like that, you’re making me jealous. Well I must say I could see that there was something different about our Miss Kennard from the start. Something more than the fact that she was NOT gay and that she REJECTED Shane and that she seemed to GET me immediately and… " Alice stopped talking at Bette’s raised eyebrow. "All seeing all knowing Alice, huh?" Bette said. Alice grinned sheepishly, "Well I did notice a few things, like mainly that you were quite protective of her and that she didn’t go for Shane, I mean AT ALL and that just doesn’t happen to Shane." Alice scooped up some more of her mush. "So did you call her yet? Alice asked with her mouth full. Bette finished up her icecream and shook her head, "No I’m trying to give her some time. A lot has happened in the last few days and I wanted to give her a chance to think things through and catch her breath. I’m telling you, being this noble it is just about killing me. Our last phone conversation was….intense, to say the least" Alice paused at Bette’s words, "Intense? Phone sex! You guys had phone sex already? You’re kidding me, right? Usually phone sex is at least 10 dates down the line, wow, you two have it bad. When did she call? How long were you apart before she missed the old Porter touch? A day and a half, what?" Alice asked reaching for her coffee. "About 7 minutes, " Bette said quietly. "Pftaawww", Alice spit a mouthful of coffee back into her cup and mostly down her chin coughing and hacking, "Tell me you said 7 HOURS, not minutes. "Alice pleaded. Bette just smiled and shrugged, "Minutes actually, I had just dropped her off Saturday afternoon and she called me before I even got to work" "Holy Shit, Alice yelled drawing attention from their fellow patrons. She noticed all the heads immediately turning her way and stood up, "Nothing to see here folks, sorry, go back to your lunches, sorry about that, " she said nodding and waving people away as she sat back down. She leaned towards Bette, "That is just so hot! Details, I want details!" Alice begged, her eyes sparkling. Bette shook her head, "Not this time Al, I don’t want to blow this. Tina took a major leap with me and I want to give her all the time she needs to adjust." Bette said seriously. "I really think we have something special here Al and I want to explore it. I’m afraid if I come on too strong she might panic and run. " "Does she seem like the type to panic", Alice asked finishing her icecream as well. Bette thought about it for a moment, "I don’t think so but we need more time to get to know each other better, beyond the physical part" Alice nodded, " Well at least the sex is good, right? Your pussy probably needed a break from your weekend sex marathon." Bette squirmed in her seat slightly and Alice pointed a finger at her, "I saw that!" Bette looked at her blankly, "I saw you squirm, my god you’re hot just thinking about her, aren’t you? Oh, you’ve got it bad Porter, " Alice smirked. Bette didn’t argue, she kept thinking back over her time with Tina, flashes of her body in various stages of undress, sent a shiver down her back. "Yeah, " she agreed with Alice, "I’ve got it very bad."
