God, I am so ***** pissed off. Sasha burst in to Tinas apartment, nearly falling over her cases and duty free, as she set them down in Tinas living room. T, where are you? Christ, the flight was a ***** nightmare. I was stuck next to this revolting little brat, who threw up right on ***** take off, may I add, right on my ***** Donna karan trousers . . . . Tina . . . his friggin mother has flatly refused to pay the dry cleaning bill, she said I should use Ariel like . . . T, where the ***** are you?

Tina finally emerged from the bedroom grinning like a Cheshire cat, dragging a bewildered Bette behind her, wondering who on earth the loud mouth Brit was. Who incidentally was now perched on top of her suitcase, scowling at Tina.

And where the ***** were you, Tina Kennard? You were supposed to pick me up from the airport. Do you realise how . . .

Oh shut up Sash. Laughed Tina, who now had Sasha in a bear hug and was kissing her flustered cousin all over her face. Bette watched on curious. Not knowing, why her girlfriend was all over this stunning blonde, who had the most, deep green eyes she had ever seen, and legs that seemed to go on forever, and it was driving her crazy.

Get the ***** off T. Sasha unravelled herself from Tina and pushed her away, and stood straightening her clothes. Bette couldnt believe how someone who looked so elegant and ladylike could curse like a sailor, after nearly every word she spoke.

Im still ***** upset with you Tina. Fancy leaving me stranded at the airport, where the *****, were you? Sasha tried to stay mad at Tina, but found herself, beaming at her anyway.

Tina put her hand over her mouth and screwed up her eyes.
Oh ***** Im sorry Sash, I forgot all about you, do you forgive me? Tina pouted, looking over her lashes, trying to gain a little sympathy, so she wouldnt feel so bad for leaving Sasha at the airport.

Cut the bloody act Tina. Sasha grinned and pointed to the kitchen. And go and make me a cup of coffee, and Ill think about it. Tina went to the kitchen to put the kettle on. Sasha walked over to Bette and took hold of her hand. She smiled seductively.
Hello, and who might you be? Ill introduce myself, seeing as though Tinas too bloody ignorant. She shouted, looking in Tinas direction.

Tina rushed back in the living room, and before either one could get a word out Tina answered the question.

Sorry. This is Sasha Kennard, my cousin. Bette let out a sigh of relief on discovering that the blonde was in fact Tinas cousin, quashing the thoughts that she had, had running through her mind.
Sash, this is my girlfriend, Bette Porter. Tina said smiling at Bette.

Sasha, raised her brow, and looked at Tina and then looked back at Bette.
So, you turned my cousin in to a muff diver have you Bette. I can certainly see why, my cousin came over to our side of the fence. One look at you and she didnt stand a chance. She grinned, looking once again at Tina with a smug look on her face.

Tina shook her head, and Bette burst out laughing.
Muff diver. Bette could hardly contain herself. Where did you get that one from? She managed to choke out. Shed never heard that expression before and it tickled her.

What? Said Sasha, not thinking that what shed said was anything out of the ordinary.

Youll have to excuse my cousin, Bette, shes English, and they have a different way with words, than us Americans. Tina laughed and slapped Sasha on the arm.

Hey, watch it Kennard. She slapped Tina back. So how long have you been in the land of ***** loving then T.

If you mean how long have I been with Bette, then its about three weeks. Tina moved closer to Bette and wrapped her arms around her waist. And shes off limits to you, so hands off, I know what you are like. She warned, giving her a friendly stare. Bette chuckled at Tinas statement and looked at Sasha.

Sasha raised her eyebrows and tried to look shocked.
I have no idea what you are referring to Tina. She replied trying to put on a posh voice. Are you implying that Im a ***** with no morals, because if you are . . . you would be absolutely right. Sasha laughed.

Bette and Tina just looked at each other and also laughed.

Sasha made her way to the couch and sat wearily down with a thud, the jetlag was definitely settling in now and she was feeling pretty tired. Bette walked over to the couch and joined Sasha, while Tina went in the kitchen to finish making coffee. She soon returned, and after handing Bette and Sasha their beverages, she too sat down on the couch.

God Im knackered. Sasha muttered, barely able to keep her eyes open. Do you realise Ive been up nearly twenty four ***** hours. She took a sip of her coffee then set it down on the arm of the couch. So what you got planned for tonight T? Sasha yawned, and placed a hand over her mouth and flexed her long legs out in front of her, rotating her ankles.

You want to go out? Tina shook her head in amazement.

Damn bloody right I do, you dont think Ive come all this way, to not make the most of all the hot totty in West Hollywood do you T? Christ, a couple of hours sleep and a hot shower, and Ill be well up for it mate. Grinned, Sasha, reaching for her cup. Besides, do you think its fair to keep all those women waiting, for this hot body? She joked.

You never change, do you? Tina replied, shaking her head. Never. Sasha butted in.
So how are you Sash, still taking the fashion world by storm?

Not too bad T, thats why Im here, Ive got a show next week. She crosses her fingers. Hopefully, it should put me amongst the big guns. She grins her eyes sparkling.

Wow, thats great Sash. Tina said, squeezing her hand.

So what is it you do Sasha? Bette leaned forward to look at Sasha, she was curious to know what this beautiful blonde did for a living. She could certainly pass for a model, Bette, thought, shes absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Are you a model?

Sasha and Tina exchanged glances and burst in to laughter.
What, are you kidding me? Tina guffawed, pointing her finger at Sasha. She, is one major clutz, she would fall over her own feet, she, would be a disaster on the cat walk.

Sasha playfully punched Tina on the arm.

Ouch, what was that for? Tina pouted, after finally stopping laughing.

Thats for taking the piss, Tina dearest. Sasha returned her gaze to Bette. No Bette I am not a model, as T, pointed out, I am a little too clumsy to be allowed on a cat walk, unfortunately I, once had the opportunity to experience it though, and I went flying on my arse. Hence the laughter from her highness here. Sasha exclaimed, rolling her eyes at Tina. Im a fashion designer Bette, I design clothes. She said smiling.

Bettes eyes widened, she could sense that she was really going to like this person, after all they both had a love for designer couture, and she could always do with some more clothes and if Sasha wanted to throw some free samples her way, who was she to complain.

So have you been in the fashion business long? Bette asked.

About five years. Sasha sighed and gestured with her hand. Its a really tough world to break in to, you know, especially if you dont have any contacts. But if you love what you do enough and work really hard you can succeed at anything. What about you Bette, what is it that you do for a living? Sasha nodded.

I run my own art gallery. Bette said proudly. Its the love of my life. She swiftly turned to Tina and smiled softly. Well it was until I met this one here, but seriously Im passionate about art and I agree with you if you work hard at something nothing in life is impossible. She giggled. You can even turn a straight girl ***** if you set your mind to it. She said kissing Tina softly on the lips.

Hey, you didnt have to try too hard. Tina swatted Bette on the arm. If I remember rightly it was me that encouraged you Ms Porter.
Tina ran her fingers through Bettes hair and leaned in for another kiss.

Sasha got up from the couch and stretched her back.

Well, Im afraid I am going to have to love you and leave you, my bed is calling me. She took Bettes hand and squeezed it tightly and bent down and kissed her on her cheek.
It was nice to meet you Bette, hopefully I will see you later? Bette nodded and kissed her back on her cheek. Nice to meet you too Sasha, and yeah, you will see me later.
alrighty then, Im going for a kip. She winked at Tina and Bette. Dont do anything I wouldnt do, while Im gone you two will you? She said over her shoulder as she walked towards the bedroom.

Theres not much you wouldnt do, Sash. Tina yelled in Sashas direction.

Cheeky. Sasha, shouted back as she closed the door and collapsed on the bed.
