The Education Chapter Three

Bette Porter rolled over on her bed stretching her long lustrous limbs. Her mind registered another body in her bed, and she groaned at her uncontrollable libido and the need to bring women home. The stress of having to get this one out of her house now, definitely not what she needed on a morning like this.

It was the Monday. Yes, that Monday. The one where she was forced to take her annual holiday leave from work and instead play babysitter to some bratty kids in a rich suburban day care. What a waste of time, she thought, while shaking the still slumbering naked girl beside her.

“Hi, Yeah listen, I need to run, do you mind leaving?” Bette said bluntly.

Squinting her eyes, the ‘naked one’ as Bette’s subconscious named her mumbled something incoherent, before finally speaking, “Uhm, eh yeah sure.”

Writing a quick note entitled:

Naked One,

I am heading off to work,

Sadly there is very little food

In the house, don’t stay too long,

Leave your number here:

B

Then Bette grabbed a quick shower, got dressed, glanced at the clock and headed out to her car. Deciding to stop by in Starbucks quickly on her route, turned out not to be the smartest idea as the brunette eyed the time and noticed she was somewhat late.

Oh well, she was being punished for being late now, so what could one more speedy drive down the boulevard do to damage her day now, she thought as she revved up her engine and raced downtown. Finally pulling into the long driveway passing some beautifully kept flowerbeds, Bette put the Saab in park.

Not before checking her hair and eye make-up she  stepped out of the car and glanced around. Sneaking over to the bed of flowers, the brunette quickly pulled several bunches of purples flowers out of their well kept beds and bundled them together as she walked up to the front door.

She observed the few children’s toys scattered around the steps leading to the door, and avoided tripping on a skateboard, as she rang the doorbell. Hearing scuffling behind the door, she awaited patiently for the door to open. She was hardly expecting what was to happen.

The door opened in one swoop and a stressed-looking blonde quickly bent down to stop a small boy running out the door.

“Tom, go into the playroom with Alice, good boy, that’s it,” the blonde said motioning to the childe to go in the other direction. Finally standing up, the blonde looked at who was at the door.

“You.” Tina said.

Bette was confused, she did not recognize the blonde “Uhm, yes me, I’m.. uh, here to do community service.”

“You” Tina repeated. Glancing downward, Tina glared. “You don’t remember me do you?”

“Uhm, maybe,” Bette muttered, “Look I’m sorry, it was just one night,” Bette started presuming she had slept with the blonde, although looks wise, the brunette wasn’t quite sure what she had been thinking, this one seemed like a bit of a nutter. “I’m sorry if you thought it was going to be any more than that.”

“Hold on a second, do you think I slept with you?” Tina almost laughed out, “Well think again okay Bette. Oh look I know your name do you know mine?” Glancing downward Tina saw Bette’s extended hand with the flowers, looking up she met a sheepish grin. “Did you bring me flowers, that you picked from my own garden, wait are they my purple alium? GAAAH,” Tina groaned to herself looking up at the heavens, “Why you of all people!”

“I’m not that bad really, uhm, I’m Bette Porter and you are,” Bette extended a hopeful hand.

“I know who you are, and I presume you still don’t know who I am.”
