‘Busy? It’s a Sunday, what the fuck are you doing on a Sunday?’

‘Paperwork, I’ll catch you later.’ Bette hung up, hearing a high pitched wail come from Alice on the end of the line as she moved the phone from her ear. She was unable to resist the invitation of that outstretched arm and longed to be underneath it again.

‘So, I’m paperwork am I?’ Tina spoke as Bette slid back into bed this time facing Tina but having placed the blonde’s arm around her waist.

Bette looked at Tina’s face, the blonde’s eyes were still closed but she could see a smile spreading across her lips.

‘The kind that will take me hours…’ She smiled as she slowly leaned in and placed a kiss on Tina’s lips. The blonde moaned at the contact and pulled Bette in closer. The intensity increased as their tongues perfected the dance so recently established. Bette pulled back and stared into the Tina’s eyes.

‘What?’ Tina smiled

‘Yup, there’s that southern twang’ Bette laughed as Tina swung a pillow at her head.

‘Come on Shane, please come and have coffee with me… I’m bored and Bette stood me up.’ Alice pined into the phone as she twiddled the handle of her coffee cup.

‘Alice, I’m busy. I can’t.’

‘Why, what are you doing right this second that is so important you can’t come and be dull and surly with me?’ Alice tilted her head to the side as she leant into her phone. Her other hand ceased playing with the cup and thumped in her lap emphasizing her annoyance.

‘I.. just… fuck Al, come on, its Sunday morning, what do you think I’m doing?’ Shane giggled down the phone.

‘Ew, gross.’ She hung up and threw the phone down on the table in front of her, staring at it, her face screwed up in disgust. She shivered and shook her hands in front of her, trying to dispel images creeping into her mind.

‘Great.’ She mumbled to herself. She looked at her coffee cup and deciding she wanted another, got up to order.

‘Al!’ Alice froze at the voice. She had a straw in the corner of her mouth and was staring at the order board trying to work out what to have.  She slowly removed the straw and crumpled it in her fist. Her eyes opened wide and she took in a deep breath. Exhaling slowly, she turned around stiffly and plastered a smile on her face.
