**********
I loved hot water on demand. It was sensuality, lust and desire. A caress on the skin that warms and glows. Something positively orgasmic after months of bathing in random, cold, bodies of water.
There was no way that I wanted this shower to end, but there were friends waiting, food to be consumed and questions to be answered.
Stepping out of the shower I wrapped myself in the largest, fluffiest bath sheet and proceeded to dry myself off. Quickly dressing in cargo pants and a tank top I walked down the hall to join my friends.
“You have no idea how good it is to shave.” I announced to the room, amused by the reactions of disgust they all exhibited. “It’s not like they have open access to showers and supplies in the middle of the desert ladies.” I explained, giggling.
Alice clapped her hands, “Let’s eat. We have steak and chicken and salads and beer.” Alice quickly turned to Shane, a horrified look on her face that caused the rest of us to giggle helplessly, “we have beer right Shane?”
Shane, instead of answering just shook her head and got a beer for herself, and I from the fridge. “Beer should not be consumed by children, people on medication and crazy people who should be medicated.” Shane insisted, pointing at Alice with the neck of her bottle.
“Aww, what’s that meant to mean?” Alice pouted, making a grab for the bottle.
“No, no, no Alice.” Shane tatted, shaking the neck of her the neck of her bottle like it was her finger. “No beer for Alice.” She mocked.
“Why does Bette get beer and I don’t?” Came the shrill demand from Alice as she got up to chase Shane for the bottle.
“Easy,” The boyish brunette answered, “Bette is a grown up, mentally capable individual. You my friend,” Shane paused for obviously dramatic effect, throwing a mischievous grin in my direction, “are not.”
Throwing herself out of the chair, Shane raced out into the yard and ran around the pool with a giggling Alice following her.
“They are children.” Kit commented, watching the game with a soft maternal smile.
I turned around to face her, smiling “Why grow old?” I asked.
A shriek from outside drew all of out attention and we saw Shane push Alice into the pool.
The water logged blonde surfaced, much to all of our amusement. Shane was bent over, holding her stomach, Helena was laughing riotously and Kit and Dana were giggling like school girls as they shock their heads mockingly disapproving of the display.
Walking out onto the patio, I called to Alice. “No playing till you do your chores.” I informed her, holding up the plates.
**********
Settling back with our beers, we all make ourselves comfortable around the pool. The night is chilly, but gorgeous. For all the light pollution I can still make out individual stars and constellations. I lie back and close my eyes. I am pleasantly full, buzzed and still quite tired from the trip home.
I quirk my eyebrow, “Kit sent me a letter which I got about 2 weeks ago, telling me that Alice was getting an award for the amazing job that she does with the kids… I couldn’t miss it so I organised to get home as soon as I could.” I nodded to myself, pleased that I could do something for my friends who have been there for me through so much. “2 Days before the ceremony is the best I could do.”
“Also,” I throw out, having 5 pairs of eyes lock on me “I have a meeting with a publisher about publishing the story of Abasi, and 10 year old boy who joined a local gang.”

So who is in talks with a publisher.fantastic update here. Im cannot wait for more what is Bette’s job by the way?
Thanks for the update. After reading the story and JC’s comment, what is Bette running from. I gathered that much from the first chapter and is Tina in this story, in Bette’s life in the past or future. Making assumptions is dangerous, however, that is all I’m left with. Is or has Tina been a love interest and like JC, something horrendous has happened to Bette and Kit, of course, wants to keep her close by to watch over her and Bette isn’t having any of it. Guess I’ll have to wait for more chapters to reveal the answers. Great post. PPS
I just read both chapter’s, is Bette sick? I so can not wait to see this wonerful story unfold. Thank you Deean
I am enjoying how the story is unfolding…keep the chapters coming. Please?
I too am enjoying the story, and can’t wait to learn more. Hopefully Tina will appear to help Bette with what ever she has/is going through.
No hopefully Tina will NOT come and take care of Bette, she has enough problems already. It is not written somewhere that every fic with Bette in it MUST have Tina as well!! Oh the burdens Bette carries are heavy indeed, we can see this, and I can only imagine what has caused those burdens. I have to say, that as comical as Alice may seem on paper, having an adult friend who was stuck at the emotional age of 8 would get old really fast,and I wonder if she is emotionally able to give Bette the support she needs, rather than just being comic relief. Dana too, it seems as though this Dana is much farther into her shell than “our” Dana, and needs alot of nurturing. I wonder if they even know what her burdens are? It’s possible that only Kit knows what is going on? it seems like there is more than one thing, there is physical issues and I think extremely heavy emotional issues. If I amy ask, Justin, WHAT is all this “cuzzie’ stuff?
Hello My Beautiful Dee… hmmmmmmphh… Bette is in so much turmoil… such an emotional distress… the idea of going to an “Oasis” is not lost on me… it is a place of healing be it physical or emotional… and I fear that Bette has suffered within both realms… I fear she has lost something… there is a subtext throughout your lyrical way with words to screams that something is amiss in her life… sickness… or the loss of something so incredible it would send you to such a harsh environment to seek some kind of balance… you have such an uncanny ability to make one think about the trajectories and pathways in which each of your characters might think and feel… but the reference to Bette’s physical conditions leave one to feel that she is doing hard penance upon her soul… you my friend are completely amazing… and yes inspiring… you might not see it but you just completely inspire me, mucho love and hugs, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels and ever loving Cuzzie to the ever talented Eunichick and Newly Crowned Cuzzie to T_Daze)
Bette seems to be sending an SOS, seem in a lot distress, Is Tina in this? She has been gone for 4 months and seem to be very tired,is she ill Has something terrible happen in her life. Our Dana is still quite but not the stronger type now. Thanks
