“Will you be having desert with us this evening Ms. Porter?”

Bette looked at Tina a smiled.  Tina blushed and rolled her eyes and leaned her head in to whisper to Bette, “Hmm, that might be fun Babe.”

Bette laughed and answered the waiter, “No Gregory that will be all.  Could you bring me the check please?”

“Yes Ms. Porter, I’ll be right back.”  As Gregory left them, Tina grabbed the back of Bette’s head and pulled her in for a searing kiss.

“Mmmm!  I can’t wait to get you home.”

Bette replied, “If you keep that up, we won’t be waiting to get home.”

“Promises, promises Porter.”  Tina gave Bette another quick kiss.  “I’m going to the Ladies’ room while you square the tab.”

As Tina turned to leave she looked back over her shoulder and blew Bette a kiss.  Bette sat speechless watching her lover’s retreating form and her killer derrière.   She was able to faintly mumble, “Hurry please.”

By the time Tina returned, the tab was paid and Bette was anxiously awaiting their departure to more private surroundings.  As the exited the restaurant, Bette slid her hand down Tina’s back and onto her luscious bum.  Tina swatted at Bette’s hand and said, “Patience Ms. Porter.  Act respectfully or no desert for you.”

As Bette began to put on a sorrowful pout, Tina slid her hand down Bette’s back and onto her equally luscious bottom.

“Hey, watch the hands Doctor Kennard.  What would your patients say about your lack of patience?” 

They both laughed and continued trying to claim what they each felt to be their prize as the walked to the car.  When they got to the car, Tina grabbed Bette and pushed her down on to the hood of the MG.  As Bette sat there flabbergasted, Tina captured Bette’s mouth with her own.  Soon tongues were battling for control and their temperatures were rising.  They broke their embrace when the silence was broken by a man’s voice.

“Tina?”

Both turned to the voice to find Eric standing next to them.  Tina and Bette had been so involved in their own lives that they lost track of Eric after his discharge from the hospital.  Tina had stop getting weekly updates about a month after she discharged him.

“Eric, Hi, how are you doing?”

“Tina, you left me for a woman?”

“No Eric, I left you because you didn’t love or respect me.”

“OK but now you’re with a woman?”

“Yes Eric, I am.  This is Bette Porter, my fiancée.

“Uh huh.  Wait a minute, aren’t you that paramedic?”

“Yes I am.  I was that paramedic that responded to your crash.”

“No Bette, you are the paramedic that saved his sorry ass.”

“T, be nice.”

“Yes ‘Tee’, be nice,” said Eric.

“Ughh!  Bette let’s go.”

“Eric, I found my lipstick.  It was right where I… Bette?”

“Hey Elle.  You’re moving up in the world I see.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Well he’s certainly a step up from the losers you used to date.”

“Yeah, he must be the king of all losers,” mumbled Tina.  “Bette, would you like to introduce me?”

“Sure T, this is Elle my…”

“Bette was a good friend of mine.”

“Really,” said Tina turning to Bette smiling.  “Just how good a friend was she Babe?”

“Well T, you see, when I was in medical school Elle here was in nursing school.”

“Wait a minute, YOU were in medical school,” asked Eric, clearly dumbfounded by the fact that his ex-girlfriend’s girlfriend knows his girlfriend.

“Why yes I did Eric, is that so hard to believe?”

“Then why are you a paramedic?”

“Because I like it and I’m very good at what I do.  You should be glad I am a paramedic or you might not be here right now dating my ex-girlfriend.”

“What!?!”
