“I was only joking Bette, come on……you look like a scared rabbit……let’s go…….” she began to walk ahead of me……..Now, this was the site that I was liking more than anything……I turned the camera on, and honed in on that ass….. ‘click’……….a few seconds later, …….. ‘click, click, click, click’…….Tina stops and turns to me…….. “What are you taking all those pics of?” she asks…..honestly not knowing……..

And I honestly answered, “The sunlight is so beautiful coming over those hills.” Ahem, I was almost busted again……..mental note number 1.….no more pics of the ass…..unless I make a noise and click the camera while doing so……..lol……….

“Wow, that is beautiful..” commented Tina…..

“What’s that?” I asked……

“The bridge that goes over that stream ahead…its beautiful..”

“Yea, that was built many, many years ago. See, this creek runs about 45 miles long…..and just about the entire length of it, the banks are almost 5 foot across, so any roads or paths have to have a bridge over them…I have come out here and sat for hours photographing the birds, squirrels and whatever else wanders up to this creek. I have some very beautiful pictures back at the condo……remind me to show them to you if you are interested…..”

“Of course I am……I love the country…..it’s so peaceful and quiet. A good place to come and get your thoughts together….”

“Yea. It is…..”

“So, how long is this trail?” asked Tina…..

“Why, are you getting tired already?” I asked through a chuckle…..

“Woman please, I could beat your ass back to the condo in 2 minutes flat……..that is, I will get there 2 mintues before you will…….” tina laughed……..

“ahhh…..so you have great stamina then? that’s good to know…..” I said as I felt my face starting to get hot……um…..did I just say that? I have sooo got to quick saying things that I am thinking…….we walked another mile or two, and I felt it coming…..I felt that tina wanted to ask me something………

“Go ahead and ask…..” I said…… “ I told you that I would try.”

“um…..well I don’t want you to think that I am trying to get all into your business….”
“Nah, I don’t think that…..”

“I well……I was just curious to know about the woman in the picture with you…….how long were you two together?.”

I really didn’t want to get into a conversation about her. But, I couldn’t tell this woman no for some reason…….. “almost 5 years…..” I answered….

“That was a …….well…..that was a long time……” she said looking over at me….

“Yea…Yea it was……not near long enough though…”

“Was she your first love?”

“Yes……my first and only……..” I answered……..

“Have you ever been with a man Bette?”

“I…..NO……I am proud to say that I am still a virgin in the male’s eyes….but in the female’s eyes, I have crossed that border a long time ago.”

“Have you had a lot of lesbian relationships?”

“Is this 20 questions? I mean do I get to ask the next twenty?” I ask….I am trying to deter her from this convo…..but it looks as if it is not gonna work……

“If you want……but, I have to warn you……..I don’t remember anything of my past, remember?” Tina chuckles……

“that is not funny Tina…..you really have to work on getting your past back……”

“I have remembered some things……that I havent mentioned to anyone……I am usually a very private person. I don’t talk about feelings…….”

“so, do you care to mention the things that you haven’t mentioned to anyone else??” I ask with a slight laugh……. Tina laughs along with me……..

“Well, I remember a few things about Eric and I….and if these memories are correct, we didn’t always have a bad relationship, and her was never mean to me before……”

“Well, I guess that is a good thing……that he wasn’t mean before…..what else?”

“I was a virgin when I met him 3 years ago……”

“this sounds like you remember a lot more than just a few things……”I said……I am not sure I want to hear anything about her and Eric’s past sexual rondevous…….I feel a tinge of jealousy deep within…those are feelings that I have not had to deal with in years……jealousy……..

“Anyways….” Tina begins again………..
