Rolling over Bette managed to top her wife.  “Well I always figured Shane would need a bookI on the other hand am a natural!”  Smiling wickedly she began to kiss and lick down the bare stomach.

“You misunderstand.”  Tina’s breath hitched in her throat.  “She wrote the book”  She felt the mocha colored woman stop her task and the weight shift.  “No don’t stop”

Feeling very frisky and playful, and admittedly a little more than curious, Bette pursed her lips.  “Did is have sketches?”

Tina laughed and tossed a pillow at her wife’s head, only to be pinned back down in a passionate kiss.  Finally coming up for air, Tina smiled and looked up into the brown eyes staring up at her.  “You know I was kidding”

“I knowI have used that move on you a few times”  She smiled down at the beautiful face below her.  “I love you T.” 

“I love you.jealous!”  She lifted her head and captured her lover’s lips with a smirk, only to be interrupted by the loud ringing of the phone.  Groaning she fell back to the pillow.  “It better be important!”

Grinning wickedly, Bette tugged the phone off the chest.  “Hello?”

“YesI am looking for a Ms. Elizabeth Porter.” 

“Speaking.”  Bette rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out at her wife.

“Ms. Porter, I am calling from Cedars Sinai Hospital on behalf of a Ms. Alice Pieszecki.” The somber voice continued.  “She was brought in to the ER twenty minutes ago and you were her emergency contact.”

“What happened?  How is she?”  Bette felt her head spinning, fear and worry etched over her pale face.

“If you come down here a doctor will be more than happy to talk to you.” 

“Is she alive?  At least tell me that!”  She felt her anger rising. 

Sighing the woman continued.  “She is being worked on by the doctor… it is imperative that you come down here.” 

Stunned Bette felt her world collapse around her.  “Tthank you.”  She dropped the phone to the floor and set motionless on the bed. 

Confused and worried, Tina gripped her wife’s arm. “Who’s hurt?  Are they alive? Damn Bettetalk to me!”  She began to shake her catatonic like wife.

Shaking her head and gathering her wits, Bette managed to speak.  “Alshe’s at the hospitalwe need to go.”
