Bette smiled back at all of them. “Pay up, bitches.” Everyone reached into their pockets/purses/wallets and handed money to Bette. Alice couldn’t believe this. “What….the…fuck, Bette?” Bette smiled. “Just a little fun.”

“A little fun over our relationship?” Bette chuckled. “No, we were seeing how long it would take you stubborn children to get over yourselves and be all over each other.” With that Bette went over to the grill and flipped some hotdogs and hamburgers. Dana broke out into a fit of laughter that sent her to tears. Alice just looked around at the brood having fun, and shook it off.

She reached up to Dana’s eyes and wiped the laughing tears away. “Knock it off, you’re laughing at us.” Dana stood up and stripped to her bathing suit smirking. All eyes were on her. Shane started walking towards her, when Alice grabbed Dana while Shane got her wrist grabbed by her Latina lover.

Shane looked at Dana for a second and smiled. “You got a tattoo.” Then she turned her attention to Carmen and Alice. “You guys thought I was gonna like tackle her or something?” Dana’s face turned bright red and she crossed her arms so nobody could see the tattoo.

Everyone stared at Dana, waiting for a confirmation. All she did was roll her eyes and nod. At this everyone jumped up and huddled around her to see. She unfolded her arms and put her wrist out for everyone to see. Kit was the first to speak up. “Didn’t expect that baby girl.” With that she took a drink of her soda and walked away. After everyone admired Dana’s tattoo they got in the pool.

Everyone except Al that is. She just watched Dana dip her toe into the water and shiver. She ran her eyes up Dana’s legs, starting at her feet and going up to her ass. Every inch of Dana’s skin was tan, every muscle toned. Alice’s eyes wandered up her body, as Dana turned to face her and smile. Her abs were washboards.

Alice couldn’t help but feel lucky. She had a tennis star girlfriend and the best friends anybody could ask for. She watched as Dana and Shane splashed each other, until Dana got out of the pool and went over to Al shaking her head fast, and getting drops of water all over Alice.
