Savannah
Story written on October 18, 2011 by kins40.
The giddiness which took over every time she saw her, the tightness in her stomach every time they were close. The goosebumps, the heart flutters, the smell of her skin, the taste of her lips…..
The light chime of her incoming email notification brought her musings to a stop.
She swallowed reading the title of the electronic message. It was the response she had awaited all day. She had written her email first thing that morning but had to account for the time difference between the East coasts of two continents. This was it and it was still marked ‘URGENT’ in authoritative capital letters, flanked by two sets of two stars.
She placed her cursor on the title bar and double clicked. The message opened, its virtual unravelling copying the real unfolding of an A4 piece of paper.
She blew out a sharp breath and began to read.
**********
It was dark, by the time Bette made it back home. The day had been successful, eventful and emotional as the vet recalled the number of animals she had disentangled from the clutch of slow death but also the number of injuries which had gone on so far that euthanasia was the only option.
Nighttime always descended rapidly in the Savannah, usually drowning the surrounding landscape in near impenetrable darkness. However, the full moon was beaming brightly tonight against the cloudless night sky, casting a shadowless spotlight over the area.
As she walked the short distance from her jeep to the front door, she made the conscious effort to detach herself from the events of the day. Tomorrow would be time enough for her to write her report.
All that was on her mind at the moment was that she wanted to see Tina.
The house was evidently deserted all lights were out and the surroundings were eerily silent. Bette stood for a second on the threshold to listen out for the usual sounds of the wilderness. Bizarrely tonight the whispers that formed the subtle soundtrack which normally accompanied nightfall were inexistent.
She frowned and shrugging her shoulders walked into the house, deciding first on the simple pleasure of a shower to wash away the events of the day as well as the stubbornly clinging dust of the tracks.

Can’t stop there! Great chap, love the drama, PPS!
c`mon kins you can`t stop there!!!!! please hurry back so we can find out what was in that email……..x
Fan-fucking-tastic!!! I’ve been waiting for this kins, you are seriously amazing, this is how u write after a writer’s block session? Wow…
Wow… I surely didn’t expect that!!! Here I thought there wouldn’t be any tibette interaction in this chapter, and BAM! What an entry…! I loooove it! So glad Tina saw the scene and the way that F***ing JL behaved with Bette. 2 against 1, baby! Now step off, b**ch! So she wants to quit huh? I thought the email was already her company asking her for an explanation, but I guess not, since J was hoping to “buy” Bette with that threat… No, it seems that Tina is much MUCH clever than JL and had of course anticipated the conflict of interest. Good for you, Tina! Oh, and so scary that thought of Bette under the claws and teeth of that leopard! But o so much more pleasant that description of her in jeans, t-shirt, and… wet hair!!! Do you really want to kill me, K?… Anyway, brillant ending to this chapter, and so looking forward to the next! And by the way… I knew you’d rock my friend, you are awesome! Remember that if you ever meet one of those writer’s blocks again! (Oh, et merci pour le clin d’oeil…) Thanks buddy! xxx Kw
Another fascinating chapter, thank you
Yes! Attagirl, Tina! (I can almost hear Jodie’s blood boiling… “Curses! Foiled again!”)
I think a Hippo should eat her in one GULP! Then spit her out for the crocodile appetizers!
Great update. What a way to take the starch out of the little evil bitch. Way to go Tina. That’s my girl!!! She saw that there is a huge conflict of interest and submitted her resignation before anything came up. Integrity plus. Great job Kins!!! Is the next chapter ready? Thanks.
Excellent. It’s what I hoped Tina would do. Didn’t want to see Bette hurt again by Tina opening her heart to love only to leave her when the job was over or threaten the foundation with a compromised audit. Jodi is just an annoyance but she does add a little spice to the story. Glad you are over the writers block.
Loved it but hate to be left hanging.
yessssss!!!! Take that you lead-filled bitch sorry. Take it away Tina. Thanks kins40 for the amazing story.
Thanks for the update. I wonder what was in Tina’s “URGENT” email. I hope whatever it is Jodi didn’t have anything to do with it.Please post soon!
What is the chance of a drunken Jodie toppling into that cast-iron fire bowl?? Although it may disrupt the beautiful setting and delightful ambiance, it would be a fitting end to the menace that is JL. Loved Tina trumping Jodie’s dastardly plan….touche’. Can’t wait for Bette’s reaction…..and perhaps more kisses….
You really can’t stop there. Tease. Love this story and love your writing. Thank you.
Excellent story.Thank you for the update.Again…a lion or a snake for Jodie would be fine for me.PPS
Hi Kins! When I reached the end of page 3… My mind already telling me to mentally prepared that there won’t be any Tibette moment in this chapter but JL JL JL JL >_< ugh! *You were killing me softly here* then suddenly T made an impressive entry!! Woohoo!! ... But alas, it's such a short celebration as there is no more pages aka frustrated hanging in the air. Dang! Anyway Kins thanks for the update, I hope there won't be anymore blocking for you ;-) and one more thing... I LOVE how you make T so MUCH smarter than JL :-) it's such a thrilled to read ;-)
Yea, a new chapter! Sorry to hear you’ve been battling the dreaded writers block :S But it appears you’ve found a way to break through because this update rocked! Sooooo Tina quit eh? Was it because of the email she received or the one she sent? Few things are ever as “simple” as they seem and I get the feeling this could be the case? Hopefully she talks with Bette about it someplace safe away from where Jodie can overhear them (but we can – nudge, nudge, wink, wink…). Ya know, I never really had a problem with the JL character on TLW but I have to say I find _your_ JL is most reprehensible! Maybe she should personally experience “green” hunting so she can see how “safe” it really is (Ha!). BTW, I appreciate how you’ve integrated issues of wildlife preservation in your story. Having to euthanize any creature especially when it’s due to greed and carelessness takes a bigger emotional toll than most people realize. Thanks again for sharing such an awesome story Kins! Looking forward to your next post :) x iHH
Okay so this is the first chapter that i’ve read of this story and oh how i loved it! But can you please do me a favor and that is if its not too much to ask.. Can u please add me, phacey as a character on the next chapter as someone who will BITCH SLAP that mad woman from hell jodie lerner! It will certainly add more spice to your freakinly awesome story hahaha!! PPS!8-)
Yes Tina
HA! EAT THAT YOU F…..Hate you Lerner!! and DON’T MESS WITH TINA… You don’t her to get angry!
Just caught up. Your stories are always a treat! Love the scenery for this story. This coconut-like Bette (hard outside soft inside) and honest-soft -caring Tina is a great combination. The nature describing parts give this story film quality and the kisses match the mid day temperatures.. Thankful that you share your stories with us!
Great writing after writer’s block! I know Jodie’s blood is boiling!
Holy crap! Why is Tina quitting? The urgent message, I presume. I’m sure Jodi had something to do with it. PPS!!
Hey K, really enjoyed that chapter. Won’t say much more but I shall be back ;)
What a perfect way to end an evening..off to Africa with your lovely story! Oh yeah..by the way..JL is psycho!!
Great one, Tina. I hope she finds a more fulfilling new job soon. Or maybe she’d want to try a different career? Thank you kins for always imagining exciting new worlds for our favorite couple. The way you write them we feel like we’re really there. :)
Well, that is a blast in Jodie’s face, LOL. As usual you keep us hooked to ur words to the last one then leave us hanging there until ur next post. please please don’t keep us waiting too long ;D
