We both stand up and I make the short safe distance to her. That’s when she did that thing that’ll have me fighting for her. She leaned really closely to me and kissed me… on the cheek. Alright so no the sexiest thing, but it was the sure was the sweetest. So tender and full of promise. Wait till I show her what a kiss with me is really like. Last night will defiantly be a distant memory when I’m done with her.

“I’ll see you Bette” She said after the kiss still leaning into me. She really knows how to play the game. I like it.

“Alright.”But before she turns to let me out I have to ask. “Do want me to stay and help you clean up?”

She looked at me and considered it, but something flashed in her mind to make her think better of it I guess.

“No, thanks, I’m good.” Damn I really wan to know what she had in mind. Could have been interesting.

So we continued to walk to the door. But she holding me hand. My hand, geez I felt like I was 13 all over again.

“You’ll call me if you need anything, right?”

“Yes, I will defiantly call you if anything of importance comes up, fair?” She wiggles her eyebrows suggestively, another turn on.

“I see you don’t play fair Tina.”

“I always play fair. I just play a little rough that’s all.” She said opening the door. Letting that be the last words that she leaves me with. Such a tease. And it’s working because I’m grinning like an idiot and she smiles widely at me in return.

While the door is cracked open I see out of the corner of my eye a figure approach the door getting ready to knock. I just couldn’t get a good view of the person until Tina opened the door fully to let me out.

“Eric. Hey.” *****, *****, *****, *****, *****, *****. Not good, not good at all.

“Oh hey Eric, how are you?” Tina asked in a breezy tone suddenly oblivious to the ‘situation’ between Eric and I. I think.

As I stood there with the ‘prize’, in her house, his eyes didn’t leave my shocked ones for a while. He even ignore Tina’s question briefly.

“I’m good Tina.” He answered looking right at me. “Hey, Bette, what are you doing here?”

“Wel…well um…see Tina here…***** uh..” Ok let’s start over without the stupid stuttering thing.

“Tina and Grace had a fight, so I came to see if she was ok.” There, good.

“Grace or Tina.” He is such an *****.

“Me. She came to see me. Grace was the one yelling like a crazy person and stormed out of here. Bette was just looking after her neighbor.” Thanks Tina. I smile appreciatively at her. He finally turned to her wanting to come in. But he was being blocked by both of us and our interlocked hands.

Out of the corners his eyes he realized why he couldn’t get in Moving his head, his eyes were met with those offending hands. So I did the chicken ***** thing. And I let go of her. She looked surprised for a second before, she realized that my brother doesn’t know anything about the two of us. And he was not going to be happy when he does find out.

“Tina, I’m glad you’re okay. So we’ll hook up right. I mean you, me, Grace, Alice, and Eric of course. See you at home bro. Ok bye.”And I was gone, moving as fast as my legs could carry me to my yard.

In the safety of my yard I saw Tina and Eric on the porch. She hadn’t let him in. After a little chit-chat where he was leaning a little too close for my comfort, she let him in. Smiling all the way as she closed the door behind her. But she was smiling in my direction. This girl is gonna get me in so much trouble.
