Bette was enjoying Tina’s reaction to her.

The brunette sang out, ”You said we were going to be out and about today, and into the evening, most likely, and that I should wear something cool and comfortable.  So here I am… casual!”

Ohhh, boy, Tina sighed, dragging a long breath of air out, as she eyed the brunette uncertainly.  She was considering what to say when a couple of well-suited men walked by them. One of them wolf-whistled, and winked at Bette as they slowed their walking pace down. Both of them pulled down their dark glasses to stare at the two women from the tops of their stylish shades. Bonjour, one of them said, hopefully.  Tina impatiently waved them on, and they resumed their walk, pretending to pout.

”You see!” Tina exclaimed, dramatically throwing up her hands, in the general direction of the well-suited men, shaking her head.  She stepped towards Bette, arms out, ready to turn her around as if to prod her back into the hotel.  She was about to say, “Go change,”  when she saw the backside of Bette’ dress. Or rather the lack of a backside.

Tina sighed again. “Backless, Bette?….. really?” she asked unsmilingly.

”It’s not as if you aren’t going to stop traffic yourself today, you know,” Bette laughed, as she stepped back, pointing at Tina’s fashionable, light leather mini, matched by a black spaghetti strapped top that clung to all the right places.  Flawless makeup, red silk scarf tied carelessly around her neck, and retro aviator sunglasses atop well-cut layered blonde hair  tousled by the wind completed Tina’s own sexy look.

Mission accomplished, Bette thought. Tina may be straight, but she was looking at her with undisguised interest.  Could be an interesting day ahead, she smiled inwardly.

She continued her tease, “As I’ve heard people say, “it’s time I told you about what people say behind your back…”
