That was a little too close for comfort Tina thought. This harmless flirtation may be getting just a little bit out of hand. But I must admit it certainly is fun.

Tina continued to get changed in Bettes bedroom. As she attempted to slide herself into Bettes T-shirt she couldnt help but notice it was a little on the tight side. The fact in was white didnt help the situation any either. Tina decided if that is what Bette wanted her to wear that is what she would indeed wear. Tina took her dress to the bathroom to try and wash out the rather large red wine stain. Having no success Tina hung her dress up over the tub and headed back down to the party.

When Tina rejoined everybody outside, Bette was in the pool playing volleyball with Alice, Dana and Shane. Eric walked over to Tina and was having a hard time taking his eyes off of Tinas *****. Hey she smiled at him. What are you looking at?

My God Tina you cant dress like that in public. Eric stuttered

Oh relax Baby. There are people out here wear a lot more revealing clothing than I am. Look at Bette for Gods sake that bikini would be illegal in most states Tina whispered back.

Eric, finally becoming annoyed grabbed Tina and pulled her over towards the house. Tina I dont care what the ***** Bette Porter is wearing or not wearing. She is not my girlfriend, you however are. I am also not blind and I have been watching that little dance the two of you having been doing all day. You are playing with fire here. For Bette this is not all fun and games and she is not going to stop until you end up in her bed. It was a mistake for us to come here today. Dont you think it is odd that this is the first time Bette has ever invited me to her house. Do you think it is just a coincidence that this invitation came right after she met you on Friday night? God Tina even you cant be that stupid. As soon as the words were out of his mouth Eric knew he had made a big mistake.

Tinas temper immediately flared. What the ***** did you just say to me? Listen Eric, if you think for one minute you can talk to me like that you are in for a rude awakening. I will wear what ever the ***** I please and as far as Bette Porter goes there is absolutely nothing between us but a couple of harmless flirtations. Maybe Bette is interested in something more than that but I am certainly not. Now if you will excuse me I am going to get myself a drink and I will try and forget we had this conversation. Tina pulled her arm away from Eric and stormed back into the house.

This exchange did not go unnoticed by Bette. Alice and Bette were losing the volleyball game badly because Bettes attention was on Eric and Tina and certainly not on the ball. For Christ sake Porter could you be any more pathetic. Alice wailed We are being creamed by Dana and a kid who weighs less than a pair of sneakers. Help me out here and stop ogling Malibu Stacey over there for five minutes you horny *****.

Alice if you dont want me to drown your bisexual ***** I suggest you give me a break and find your self a partner willing to put up with the fact that you are .well you. With that Bette got out of the pool as Alice continued to insult Bettes parentage, dress sense and sexual prowess.

Bette turned back around and flicked her tongue at Alice. I seem to remember causing your eyes to roll back in your head on more than one occasion. Bette grinned

Yeah, that is only because I couldnt stand to look at you anymore. Alice grinned back

Tina had returned with her drink and found herself laughing out loud at this conversation between Alice and Bette and thinking they could have their own sitcom. As Bette turned around to face Tina she found herself wondering ‘is it possible that Bettes bikini actually shrunk in the water.

Bette slowly walked over towards Tina smiling seductively as her eyes began to caress Tinas very visible *****. My word Tina, remind me to throw a glass of wine on you every time you come over.

My eyes are up here. Tina said awkwardly

I am definitely not looking at your eyes Baby. Bette growled back

Tina nervously looked around trying to find Eric and hoping he was not witnessing this little encounter. When Tina couldnt see Eric she felt a little more willing to flirt with Bette. Where did you get that bikini? From the Barbie collection?

Bette laughed at Tinas comment. What is the matter sweetheart is my bathing suit distracting you.

Nope, not all. The only kind of bathing suit that distracts me is one with a man inside of it. Tina grinned

You are such a liar. You want me so badly you can hardly stand it. Bette walked by Tina into the house running her hand down Tinas arm as she passed.

Tina once again checked for Eric hoping she wasnt in anymore trouble. When she couldnt find him she thought she should go and see if she could somehow smooth over their earlier argument. After a fifteen minute fruitless search Tina realized that Eric had actually gone home and left her here alone, all by herself at Bette Porters house. Well if she didnt panic before she certainly was about to now.

Bette changed into shorts and a tank top and wandering back out to the pool. She spotted Tina one of the loungers looking a little distant and very uncomfortable.

Mind if I join you. Bette asked. Tina dropped her legs over either side of the chair and Bette quickly sat down in between them before Tina could change her mind.

Bette noticing the change in Tinas mood asked Are you alright Baby. Whats wrong?

Nothingit is just my ***** of a boyfriend left me here because he didnt think our little harmless routine was very harmless. Tina confessed

Oh I see. Tina I know I have been making a bit of a game out of this but my attraction to you is more than just a harmless flirtation. I have been captivated by you since I laid eyes on you the other night and I cant really apologize for that. Bette said

Bette, even if I were a ***** woman, which I am not, I am in a relationship with someone I care very much about. I hope you can respect that or we are not going to be able to explore this friendship any further. Tina replied

Well I hope Eric has the same devotion to this relationship as you seem to. Although I am taking it as a good sign that he walked out and left you here alone with me. Bette laughed trying to lighten Tinas mood.

Tina giggled herself Good point. So are you going to give me a ride or what?

Bette grinned from ear to ear.

A ride home Bette just a ride home. Tina chuckled

Party pooper. Come on Baby I will get my keys. Bette reached for Tinas hand and pulled her to her feet.

Bette, do you think you could stop calling me Baby. Tina asked

Um, no, no I cant Baby. Bette smiled

Well I am glad to see you have decided to heed my warning about keeping this relationship strictly platonic. Lets go before I have to hose you down. Tina sighed

You can hose me down anytime you want to Baby. Bette winked

Ten minutes later they were in Bettes car headed to Tinas house.

Eric is not going to be mad when he sees me bringing you home is he? Bette asked hopefully

Eric and I dont live together Bette. I am sure he wont even be there. Tina answered

Well gosh; my day is just getting better and better. Bette grinned

They pulled up in front of Tinas apartment and Bette shut off the engine of her car. She turned to face Tina who was already trying to scramble out of the passenger seat.

Hey you, where are you off to in such a hurry. Bette teased

This is where I live Bette. I am now going inside. Thank you for the ride.I mean lift. Tina shyly mumbled

No problem Tina. How about you give me your phone number so I can give you a call sometime Pal. Bette said

Tina stopped to think about Bettes request but before she could think too long Bette had handed Tina one of her business cards and was busy pulling out a pen and piece of paper from her glove box to write down Tinas information. Tina conceded and before she could change her mind she had given Bette her home, business and cell phone numbers.

Bette was most please with herself and leaned over to kiss Tina before she could escape from her car. Tina saw this coming and quickly turned her head to the side in order to prevent Bette from making contact with her lips. This might have been a mistake in judgment. Bette moved her lips to Tinas earlobe and slowly began to suck on it. Before Tina could pull away Bette had slipped her tongue into Tinas ear and then whispered Do you want me to come in and help you get ready for bed Baby?

Tina pulled back and whispered It is never going to happen Bettenever. she playfully winked at Bette and before she could reply Tina quickly leaped from the car and somehow managed to make it to her front door on her very wobbly legs.

Bette smiled at Tina from the car and thought to herself. Oh it is going to happen. Maybe not tonight ..but it is definitely going to happen Baby.
