"You were truly incredible." The blonde continued but dropping her playful banter this time, to utter her last words with genuine admiration in her voice.
Tina cocked her head slightly and looked intensely at the vet. "I mean it Bette, never in a million years could I have imagined what you go through on a regular basis."
Not quite sure what to say, Bette looked down at the plastic bottle in her hand and picked at the label with her thumb.
"Thanks." She said shyly and lifting her bottle once again to click it against Tina’s, she repeated the toast.
"To Kipepeo and friendship!"
"Kipepeo?"
"Butterfly," Bette said with a gentle smile, "Kipepeo means butterfly in Swahili. I heard you this afternoon. You called the calf ‘butterfly’. I liked it….. very much and I thought that it would be a great name if…."
The brunette did not finish her sentence. It was already against her convictions to name an orphan deemed a ‘no hoper’ but Tina’s reaction at the sight of the baby this afternoon had been so endearing that she had instantly picked the name.
She hoped with all her heart now that it would not be in vain.
"Let’s not think about it just right now…." Tina said softly seeing the sadness which washed over the brunette’s face. Her heart swelled at the image, which was engrained in her mind, of the little elephant as they left her a few moments ago.
As she spoke, the blonde reached for Bette’s hand which rested on the counter top and covering it with her own, gave it a little squeeze whilst her thumb grazed lightly over her wrist.
Bette looked at the hand covering hers and taking a deep breath to hide the feeling that simple comforting gesture triggered within her she asked, "You were ok then today?"
Tina nodded and smiled. "I would be ok anywhere if it meant being with you, Bette Porter." She instantly thought to herself.
There was a quick silence between them and both easily fell into the soft music playing in the background.
Tina withdrew her hand from her soft resting place to take a sip of her water bottle and replacing the plastic container next to Bette’s she enquired, "How are you feeling now?"

That a was a lovely moment ruined by Helena’s abysmal timing. And Jodi… she’s just repulsive. Thanks!
Can Jodi fucking die now? Bitch! BTW I knew the kiss was gonna be interrupted! Someone has to make a move! Ahhh! You know what kins my friend, YOU’RE A TEASE!! lol PPS
Oh so ur gonna tease us huh? Thats ok since I know you’ll stop torturing us eventually. Thanks for the great post lookin forward to the next one. PPS
Frickin’ Helena! Has she become the new Alice?? Never would have thought her obtuse! Still a wonderful day for the two of them. You had me on the edge of my seat anticipating the kiss. Love that you and MeLL are tagging each other to post.
So close to the kiss but Helena had to ruin it. Hope the first kiss comes soon.
i hope the vultures are circling round hodie,ready to peck the life out of her,ugh that woman gives me the creeps,,,,,please let our girls get together sooner than later….ppvs…x
Can we just feed Jodie to the hyenas? What a crass lowlife! Please continue to post this great story.
That was beautiful. I am in awe of the research you must have done to write this so well.
Great job and I gladly second Querida’s astute comment about your research. Such an entertaining and enlightening story to read!
It seems the chemistry between Bette and Tina is too strong for Bette to ignore. If they spend time together something is going to develop.Jodi is just extremely creepy. I hope Bette finds out about her plot to kill the elephant before she causes any harm.
What a loathesome piece of pondlife – I mean, Jodie is just argh….
Jodie is one sick puppy! Amazing as always!!
I’m with tibetter24 Can just Jodie die now?..Anyway she’s a menace. And i bet she’s the culprit why “Kipepeo” lost her family…. ..
thanks to ur story, now I have total respect to elephants :D, the attraction between the two is powerful but I don’t know why Bette restrain herself? and this Jodie is a pain in the nick Uggh.I loved ur update, looking forward for the next one ;D
Such a sweet chapter. Laughing at all the Jodie hater’s comment’s. Wonderful job as always. PPS!!
Yeah for Kipepeo! Yeah for B&T connecting! Yeah for an extra long post AND for this wonderful story Kins :) Rest up and enjoy your weekend! As always, I’ll look forward to and enjoy your next installment when ever you can post…
Love this story. For gosh sakes will someone just off jodi or let her cough herself to death, quickly, very quickly. The woman has to go. She is very close to repugnant reptilian for me. ewwww. I thought she would have been the one to ruin their “moment,” not Helena. This slow burn you have us witnessing is just wonderful, but awful too. I’m also with the person above me that said Tina needs to complete the audit first before becoming involved because it is indeed a first class conflict of interest. So I hope Tina completes the audit very quickly so they can get on with their lives together. Great chapter. Thanks.
Love how Tina has come to see the special work that Bette is doing for the animals. So close to that kiss and yet so far, can we just have Jodi take a long walk off a short peir.
Damn I hate Jodi lener , Bette and Tina are so good
Amazing story.What about the lion for Jodie?
That’s what I call a Tibette “moment”!… In fact, that’s what I call a Tibette story!… Oh, how you love those almost kisses, don’t you? ;) Don’t get me wrong, I looove a good slow burn, and I know how good you are at that!… But then again, not too slow please, cause the burning (and what a fire this is!) will be the end of us readers!… I’m torn, cause I kind of agree with slntrdr, Tina being the auditor, there could be some conflict of interest… Oh hell, who cares?… And I love what an absolute vilain you’re actually portraying Jodie as! It is actually almost funny… but in a good way, of course!… I love it! That chapter was great, and I particularly enjoyed it, and I’m sorry I couldn’t read last night. I was kind of engrossed in something else… Not “that” kind of something else, but you will know what I mean! ;) Thanks for that lengthy chapter, my friend. You’ll hear from me veeeeery soon! B&H, Kw
Hi Kins! :-) Thanks for the update! I hope when you read this, you are well rested and ready to start the weekend!! :-) …Ugh, Dang! I knew the moment would be blown away, but never in a million year I expected it was by Helena… By now you should know who was the baddie on my mind… :-p though in the end of the chapter she did appear to disrupt the sweetness of this chapter >_< ... Btw Kins, I do wonder... how long does it take (on our real time) to let the girls having their Saturday?! ^^, he3... So looking forward to your next updates!! ;-) PPVS!? thanks :-p
Oh, and also… Am I wrong in guessing that, writing that moment when they had to say goodbye at the jeep, you just couldn’t bring yourself to have Bette leave just yet, and that your characters kept holding each other back despite what you had originally planned?… Cause that transpires from your writing, and that happened to me a lot when I was writing Cure-all. That’s one of the things that startled me the most when I started writing, but that I loved more than anything… It’s just an assumption though… xKw
Such a beautiful chapter ruined by the awful hacking of a classless hunter. Hopefully the morning brings another opportunity for that first kiss. Great right K40. Your next post will be expected very soon ;)
Oh, for heaven’s sake, Helena! Then again, we can’t have Tina kissing her auditee until she has finished her audit, can we? Finish the audit, Tina, so you can resign from your firm and become CFO of the Melvin Porter Foundation. :-)
Love love this chapter. So beautifully written and just so descriptive and just simply awesome. You’ve written Jodi so well that I just want to take her out and shoot her :) Thank you for this wonderful story.
There now I’m completely hooked on this story which means the lawns won’t get cut again!!
I never liked Jodi in the show and I certainly don’t like her here!
Great story – well written. Thank you.
