”Wow, Babe. This is amazing.” Tina said as she leaned forward trying to get a better look as Bette pulled into the gated driveway.

Bette smiled as she put the car in park. ”I thought you would like it. There are two sides to the home. Two bedrooms on one side and two on the other. Everyone has their own bathroom.” Bette wiggled her eyebrows as she continued, ”We have the master suite that has a private jacuzzi.”

Tina turned and gave Bette a slow rise smile, knowing exactly what Bette was thinking they were going to be doing tonight in that jacuzzi. ”Nice,” she continued to smile, nodding her head as she opened the car door. ”You made a great choice. It looks like we are pretty close to downtown Palm Springs too,” Tina said as she stepped out of the car.

”Is there a pool?” Angie asked with a hopeful smile as she jumped out of the car.

”Of course,” Bette said walking around the car and slipping her arm around Tina’s waist. ”And an outside jacuzzi. There is also an area you can set up your painting equipment. Look over there,” she said pointing past the gate.  ”There is a great view of the San Jacinto Mountains.” Bette smiled slipping her arm over the shoulders of Angie, ”Maybe it will give you a little inspiration,” Bette smiled as she kissed the top of Angie’s head.

A few hours later, the Porter-Kennards’ were relaxing at the pool with Angie in the water while Bette and Tina sat in lounging chairs soaking in the sun when Nat, Alice and the Nat’s kids arrived. After settling in their rooms, Nat and Alice took the three kids out for dinner and to explore the shopping district of Palm Springs. This left Tina and Bette home alone to their delight. After a nice cozy dinner al fresco style, they sat watching the sunset over the mountains while they finished up a bottle of wine. Bette had been quiet for most of dinner, deep in thought about a recent conversation she and Tina had about Kelly Wentworth.
