‘Everyone is fine…and your special one is also fine. We make sure that she is healthy and happy.’

‘For the record…I don’t know what you are talking about!’ but she grinned and it was obvious that she would love to make sure herself that Shane is healthy and happy.

‘And off the record?’

‘Thank you for taking care of her.’ She whispered.

‘No problem…and off the record…we all think that she misses you.’

‘Weird way to show that but I miss her too….Anyway I don’t want to stop you from getting home and have some alone time.’ She said with a wink.

‘Ok…don’t be a stranger. We all miss you. Maybe you can come by some time for dinner?’

‘I would like that…but maybe without Shane. I don’t want her to think that I’m some kind of crazy…like a stalker or something.’

‘Don’t worry…we’ll take care of everything. Bye’

‘Bye.’

They left Carmen and continued walking.

‘We’ll take care of it? Bette why do I think that you will invite Carmen and Shane for the same dinner and try to play matchmaker?’

‘Because you know me so well.’

‘Babe I don’t know if this is a good idea. Maybe Shane had some good reasons to break up with her…I mean…’

‘T…we all know Shane…she dated Carmen for 7 weeks…that is the longest relationship she ever had…I guess she got scared.’

‘Yeah maybe, but I don’t want to force her to do something she don’t want to do.’

‘T sometimes all you need is right in front of you, but there are people…like Shane…who need a push in the right direction’

‘But if you push her too much she will be mad at you’

‘Us…you mean mad at us’

‘Oh no Cupido…that is your responsibility. I just let you do it…against my better judgement.’

‘Come on T…I can’t do it without you!’

‘No…I will cook and be happy to be in the company of my friends but I don’t want to be involved in your quest to get Shane and Carmen back together!’

‘But you know as good as I that they belong together.’

‘I don’t know about that, but if they belong together it’s not your business but rather fate’s!’

‘We’ll see…’

They went home in silence, just enjoying their walk in the sun. When they arrived at home, they changed clothes. Tina startet some gardening and Bette worked on her laptop. After an hour Bette closed her computer, poured two glasses of fruitjuice and went out on the patio. She put them on the table and startet to undress. When she changed her clothes earlier she put on a bikini instead of underwear because it was part of her plan to seduce Tina later. She knew that Tina loved the black bikini on her. It showed perfectly all of her curves. She wasn’t even done with her little striptease when Tina recognized her.
