It was like a eureka moment for Bette. How could she not have seen it before.
Like all elephants Maralal was very intelligent. The reason for his behaviour was, of course, that he could count. His milk ration was cut down to three bottles while all the other orphans were getting four.
To him, it was utterly unfair and his daily tantrums were brought to a halt as soon as a fourth bottle containing water was added to his line-up.
Peace had been restored to the nursery.
**********
Tina did not remember when the last time was, when she had woken up to hearing nothing else but the light chirping of birds and the faint drone of far away cicadas.
When she had opened her eyes that morning, it had taken her a few seconds to adjust to the fact that she was not in her little flat in New York but in the middle of Africa. No traffic noises, no sirens and no annoying sounding alarm radio spewing its daily bad news of crime rates and economy downturn related facts.
She had looked around her spacious room. Her private cottage, perfectly secluded and of unimaginable comfort, with a huge kingside bed, luxurious en-suite bathroom on a split level below, which opened onto the wilderness. It was like bathing in the open air and in perfect privacy.
When she had returned to her cottage last night, the open-fire had been lit by her private stewardess. Nights are cool in Africa and Tina had spent some time relaxing in front of the dancing flames, her mind very much occupied by her previous encounter with the gorgeous bartender with the long dark curly hair.
Bette was her name and come to think of it, Tina did not recall hearing her last name. How she had desperately wanted to stay in the bar last night to get to know the brunette a little bit more but today was such an important day that she needed to be well rested for her audit assignment.
She had sat up for a while reading about the work of the Melvin Porter Foundation.
Set up some years ago, the main focus of its operation was one of wildlife conservation and the founder of the organisation had set up home in one of Kenya’s largest National park.

Thank you for the reward :-)very appreciated.Have a great time away, recharge your battery for more stories.I am going to read this again and come back lol.Thank you for posting I cannot wait to see a lion running after Jodie to the airport!!
hahaha I’m with mariam let the lion bite her ass! lol This is great! And what a way to end it! Bette must be like “holy shit!” PPS I LOVE THIS STORY!
I could think of so many words to substitute for “audit” in that last sentence! Thanks for the chapter…better choice than packing. Have a great trip!
I vite for the baby elephant running Jodi out of town. Thanks for posting before your trip,greatly appreciated. Have a good ti.me.
Bette and Tina are cute, of course, but I think Maralal just became my favorite character. ;-)
Ah, they meet again! Great story, thank you for fitting it in. I love elephants almost as much as I love Tibette so you really got to me.
Oui. Thanks for this great chapter, I liked all its actors, from Maralal to the audit. Tibette dreamt and thought about each other, now I’m looking for Bette’s reaction at this surprise audit. Knowing the Alpha she is, it’s not going to sit very well with her. I’m sure Tina’s not going to take a backseat so that’s going to be a good promise for sparkles……. The weather’s getting better. Have a nice trip and séjour, Bienvenue.
Such a heartwarming, unique story..I enjoy your writing so much! Have a safe trip and I look forward to the continuation of this amazing story!
Oh Oh…”to audit”…Damn… but in all account [no pun intended.] At least they got the chance again, to really know each other. And what your writing in here about the “Elephants” behavior..It’s really true. And did you know that they are the only animals. who buried their dead? I’ve seen in Natgeo, that they even have a..some kind Funeral march?…So it’s really sad ..as majestic as they are .. ..They have no power if we humans..want to eliminate them.. …thanks for the chap K40.
Absolutely excellent. Can’t wait to see what happens. And I’m with Mariam let the lion just bite Jodie’s bum :) Thank you for this story.
Awww Kins, my bark is worse than my bite, but I still want jodie eaten by a lion or something major happen to get her the hell out of Africa and away from our girls. Hope you have a wonderfully relaxing and restful time away. Hope the girls will enjoy their time together when they are not working on the books. Maybe Tina will let Bette show her around the site, her own personal tour guide if you will. Thanks for posting.
You make me feel like packing my bags and going to Savannah. Any chance of a Tibette sighting?
Audits are lengthy, meticulous processes… and time-consuming. Which means there will be plenty of opportunity for these two to get to know each other, right? ;) Thanks for the post :)
SO GOOD
Have a good time and thank you for such a great story.
Wow, that was something! I loved ur update but u left us hanging now :( !
Throughly enjoyable! From the chair spinning to the baby elephant tantrum to the arrival of auditor Tina Kennard. I love this story so much. Post when you can.
What an unique and enjoyable story. I love the descriptions of the animals and their interactions w/the humans.
And by “audit” I mean “seduce.” That was what the part you left off, right k40? =)
Ugh..! Such a cliffy! Did you purposely end the chapter there Kins40?! >_< You don't have to do that kind of trick to keep me on my toes waiting for your latest update, I always one of many who is looking forward to your posting ;-) he3.. It's cute that Bette just automatically correcting Shane while she seems not so care of the conversation :-p and Kins! Your educational info about raising a pet.. Oops! I meant ELEPHANT ;-) is very informative! :-) and somehow it reminds me on how cute is baby elephant!! Lol.. Well regarding the club, it has a member get a member offer with a life time supply of Tibette loves.. :-D and to make your story merrier, (though i know you won't need it ;-)) I think there can be an extra bonus of someone being chased or bitten or harmed by member of animal kingdom as Mariam, T24, wkm, and favcouple mentioned.. And for this, the list of that special treatment can be longer per se and I promised there's no animal harmed during the process. ;-) Anyway Kins, enjoy the getaway!! :-) please remember to come back here later ;-) cheers!
….PS – Love your cliff hanger!
Hahahahah – Tina thought Bette was the bartender…Even more priceless – “Tina Kennard, Wilson & Smyth Chartered Accountants, I am here to audit you.” How unceremonious can one get !?! Poor Bette… (LMAO!). Kins, didn’t know you had such a wicked sense of humor too ;) ** Thanks for the ‘bonus’ post before you head off for holiday. Hope you both have a wonderful time :)
