Bette turned her head and gave me a bright smile, “hey Shane. Come on over.”

I went around the gate and lied down on the pool chair next to her. I looked at her closer now and saw hickeys and bite marks on basically every visible part of her body.

I started chuckling and Bette looked at me curiously. “What?” she said smiling.

“I didn’t realize Tina was such a tiger,” I answered looking at her.

I saw Bette avert her eyes, but she had a smirk plastered on her face. “I’m sore,” Bette confessed, “we went at it in the bathroom.”

I chuckled at her words. I was the only person she confided these things to. None of our friends knew this, heck not even Tina knew, that Bette and I often got together and talked about our sexual escapades. I always had a variety of stories and Bette always talked about the things she tried with Tina. Of course, we haven’t done in it in a while because things got a little nasty, but now that things are back to normal, I’m glad we can have these talks again.

“Went at what, Momma B?” Angelica said smiling.

Bette’s eyes widened and I started laughing. “They went at the sink,” I said, “see Momma B messed up. It’s not went at the sink, it’s went to the sink.”

Bette gave me an appreciative nod and I smiled broadly at her. “Angie, why don’t you go play Wii?” Bette said.

“Yay, and then we can get icecream?” Angelica said bouncing on Bette’s stomach. Bette grimaced slightly and nodded with a small smile. Angelica bounded into the house excitedly and Bette sat up slowly.

“She did you bad, huh?” I said laughing.

“Yeah, it’s more like she did me good,” Bette said.

“I wonder what Tina would say if she ever found out about our little kiss and tell meetings,” I said sitting up.

“She would get mad,” Bette said, “because I tell her to never tell people about what we do in private.”

“That’s cause she tells Alice, and Alice has the biggest mouth…” I trailed off knowing Bette got my meaning.

“I know you can keep secrets,” Bette said smiling, “out of all our friends, you’re the one whom I trust the most.”
