“I have four siblings: Charlotte, Claudia, Calvin and Chandler. Charlotte should be 33 but she passed away when she was 29, due to lung cancer. She had a little boy, Dean who was 4 and is now living with Claudia, my other sister. Dean’s father, Carl, left her and doesn’t want anything to do with his son who’s now eight. Claudia is 36 and is married to Noah and together they have a one year old daughter, Violet. My two older brothers are Chandler and Calvin. Chandler is 40 still lives in South Carolina where I was born, with his wife Jess and their two kids: Stephan and Ross who are both 10. My other brother is 39 and lives in New York where the only thing he does is working. My parents only see Chandler because the rest of us decided to live outside of South Carolina.” I say to her and she smiles a little smile. I never told her the full story

“I’m sorry about your sister.”

“It’s okay. I miss her terribly but time heals the pain a little bit. In a few weeks, Dean is coming over to stay with me. I love that little boy.” I smile at her.

“Yeah, I love my brother and sister’s kids to. Kit also has kids: David and Harper. They are 20 and 16. Harper is my Godchild.” She tells me, I can hear that she’s proud.

“Ross and Nell are mine but I haven’t seen Ross since is birthday three months ago.” I tell Bette.

We arrive at the beach and go looking for a place close by the water. We undress so we are both in our bikinis and lay down on the towels we spread out on the sand. Bette is wearing a red bikini which goes amazing with her skin color while I am wearing a white one. I decide to put some sunscreen on but off course I can’t reach my back.

“Can I help?” She asks with a smile.

I swallow; just thinking about Bette touching any part of her body makes me… hot. “Yeah, that would be nice.” I say, my voice is a whisper. She takes the sunscreen of out my hands and then she sits behind me on her knees. I hear her squeeze the liquid out of the tube and then I feel her rubbing it on my back. It’s a little cold so I gasp, which makes her chuckle. She begins with my shoulders and then slowly rubs down my back. I am biting my lip to prevent a moan to slip out. Gosh, this feels so good. When she is done, she pulls her hands back and it takes a few moments to get me back to earth. I turn around and she is just closing the tube. We are both on our knees and she smiles a crooked smile at me.

“Any other body parts you want my help with?” She asks.

I giggle. “No, not really.” I say but come a little closer. “I think I should pay you back, I could have never done that on my own. What do you think of a kiss?” I ask, whispering and she chuckles softly.

“Mmm, that sounds like an awesome reward.” She says. I lean in and place a sweet kiss on her lips. What we fail to notice is that a few meters away, a group of young guys is seated who begin to cheer and whistle to get our attention. We pull back and look at them.

“Hey, can’t you do that gross stuff when no one is around?! No one wants to watch that shit!” One of them calls out.

Bette and I roll our eyes and we decide to ignore them. We lie back down and try to enjoy the sun but they won’t stop.

“Maybe I should come over sometime and make you two normal again!” Another one calls out.

I can see that Bette is trying her best to keep ignoring them.

A man, who was there with his wife and kids turns around and looks at the young people.

“Hey, behave and leave them alone.” He says. “They are not hurting anybody, so shut up.”

The guys stop yelling at us but keep talking and joking about us… Only now we can’t hear it as clear anymore.

“I’m sorry.” I say.

Bette looks at me. “Why are you saying sorry?”

“For kissing you. If I wouldn’t have done that, they would’ve shut up.”

She gives me a small smile. “You don’t have to be sorry, okay? I’ve had this kind of thing before, maybe it’ll happen again. I don’t care anymore. Besides, it was worth it” And she winks.

“Are you sure?” I ask her. “Absolutely.” She tells me and leans in to give me a peck on the lips. Yes, we hear their whispers get louder but I don’t care. I am close to Bette and that’s the most important. I gaze into her eyes and we smile at each other.

TBC!
