She remembered entering the private room. "The epitome of colonial grandeur," she had thought. Dominated by an imposing four-poster bed, intricately hand-carved detailing beautiful reeded posts and turned finials. The whiter than white linen and fluffy pillows were a stunning contrast to the rich dark colour of the teak frame.
The mosquito net had been elegantly pulled back and tied to the posts at each corner of the bed. The light veil panel which covered the head part of the bed however had been clipped upwards and formed a canopy over the whole surface of the mattress.
The floor was the same shiny dark hardwood flooring which ran through the rest of the house. It was accented by two Persian carpets on either side of the room. An antique chaise-lounge sat along one of the walls and an old travelling chest, on which rested a couple of books, stood guard faithfully at the foot of the very comfortable looking bed.
Photographs hung on the walls, testament of the vet’s childhood on the African continent and like the rest of the house, artwork representing animals in their natural setting adorned the room also.
Her visit in Bette’s sanctuary had been brief and as soon as Tina had got dressed in private, they had made their way to the viewing deck which jutted off the living room area where breakfast had been served.
Augustine had made them pancakes. Tina had learned that Bette had expressively asked her nanny to indulge the blonde’s request as a sorry for the debacle, as she had called it, of the car’s mechanical failure.
They had tucked into the homemade pancakes but as a substitute for maple syrup which was in short supply in Kenya, Augustine had supplied honey from the Kenyan mountain forest, cut up bananas and other assortment of fruits.
Tina had devoured her breakfast with gusto and in her hurry had smeared honey all over her lips, momentarily unable to lick them as her mouth was full.
Laughing at her predicament and playfully chastising her for gulping her food, Bette had reached over in the most natural way and with her finger had wiped the honey which was threatening to trickle down her chin.

Tnx for update, don’t worry we’ll wait as long as you make us!;) Great story, PPS!
i hope bette can come up with a plan to scupper hodies plan and also help the natives……….x
Late… Going to bed… One thing though: Does anyone else crave that photo of “Bette the Vet” like I do? K, could you sent it to my personal email please?… What do you mean it’s fanfic and the photo doesn’t “actually” exist? Arrrgh, you gotta stop doing that to me, woman! Now I’m off to bed with that fantastic vision in my mind knowing that it will have to remain just that… A vision. Oh well, at least I’ll have sweet dreams! G’nite dear, and thanks so much for the update! You’re the best as usual, and I adore this story!… xKw
Now how are you going to get past Tina leaving when her audit is finished? That would be just too sad.
Thanks for the update. I love Shane. Bette needs a friend like her to help her budding relationship along while she’s too scared to do anything. I hope Tina is encouraged by what she heard from Shane. She needs something to go on before she heads back home.
You write in such a descriptive manner that I feel as if I am there and witnessing it all firsthand.
I have read everything that you have written on this site…..I had to come out of the shadows to tell you how beautifully you write..Thank you for sharing with us.
Your attention to detail is just awesome. Love this story.
Love my weekly trek to Africa..amazing update!
K40 No one can keep me away from reading this..They have to take me in brute Force *Kicking and Screaming*.. And after this.They had too..really Had too. Laughing at her predicament and playfully chastising her for gulping her food, Bette had reached over in the most natural way and with her finger had wiped the honey which was threatening to trickle down her chin. What happened next came to both women’s surprise. Bette licked the sweet nectar of her own finger. Time stood still for what seemed an eternity. Bette froze, her index finger still in her mouth. Tina swallowed trying not to choke and both of them reached for their coffee, hoping the white mugs would momentarily hide their emotions. Swooning….Sigh… And that scene between Tina and Shane Priceless…: )… Now that Jodie being pin point to be the one behind the Elephants sad flight?..Can Bette prevent more things to happen in the future?
great update as always! You paint such a vivid picture of not just imagery but of feelings, interactions, or even a moment. Thanks for such a great story- PPS!
Shoot – I just logged on to say I want a copy of Bette’s photo, but I see Kword75 beat me to it. But it’s digital! We can all have one! ;-) Enjoyed the update, as usual. Irritated by Jodie, as usual.
Great update. Loved it. You mentioned in your AN that a chapter we all want is coming soon, my question, is that the chapter where you kill of jodi or an NC-17 for our girls, hopefully it is the one where jodi gets offed in the story and we don’t have to read her name or worry about seeing her again in any way. Hope Tina can give Bette the time to come to grips with her feelings and not shut Tina out. Also what will Tina do when it is time to leave after the audit? I believe I read in an earlier chapter that Bette lived in the states when she was with someone else and went back to Africa after her disappointment. Maybe she would consider living in the states again once she is sure of their love. Thanks.
Hey Kins – what an unexpected and pleasant surprise to see your post! You know this is one of my most favorite stories :) Okay, first off – I hope you are doing well (all things considered). Second, brava once again for your attention to details and writing style that make this story so captivating (including that honey thing, the picture of Bette – put me down for a copy please, the village). Lastly, I’d like to believe that you’re sorry for torturing and teasing us but I know better ;) Besides, that’s half the fun anyway, wondering what will happen next. Like Shane said, Tina can’t stay forever (or can she?). And Bette can’t go (or could/would she?). Will the elephant step on or spear Jodie? So many questions but you have us all in the palm of your hand knowing that we’ll gladly wait for the next wonderful chapter. ‘Til then, take good care and post when you can. x iHH
I’m with Kword75 I want that picture!!! LOL fine kins I will be patient for the kiss but only because I wanna see how Bette will deal with that fucker Jodi!Let’s see a creative way for Jodi to die…OOO QUICK SAND!!! Let her step into a puddle of quick sand and when she’s trying to grab an elephant’s leg to try to pull herself out, the elephant walks away and let’s her die as if he knew what her intentions were.HAHAHAHAHA TALK ABOUT KARMA!!!!!
I still vote for an elephant to sit on Jodi. A huge ego requires a heavyweight to sit on it. Love that talk Shane had with Tina. Another update soon?
That’s good, trouble coming
Thanks for the update. Simply fabulous. Thank you.
thanks for the update, u know that I will read ur story with delight and pleasure ;Dwaiting for ur next chapter but please don’t tease us even if a little, LOL.
Just wanted to add that this description of the African village and its habitants ring very true to me. I had the professional opportunity to visit and work with villages in Ivory Coast, and (even though it is not the same part of Africa)I appreciate the subtlity and intelligence with which you tackle the issue. But again, I wouldn’t expect anything else from you…;) Loved Shane and her “straight-forward-ness” with Tina by the way! xxx Kw
Such a great story.What about 100 chapters?Thank you very much.PPS
Argh! No more page Mama Kins?! >_< and see what do you do to me.. after giving such a descriptive image of Bette in the wild... Lol... :-DWhat can I say?! You are so good Kins40! ^^, thanks for sharing your talent and bring a joy of reading! ;-) so looking forward to where you'll take us from here ;-)
