Tina heard Bette’s voice in the distance. All she could focus on was the sound of her throbbing center and rapid heartbeat and her new found desire.

She dropped down to her knees again and tried to push down the fabric that was standing in between herself and Bette.

Bette was swatting at Tina’s hands and trying to get Tina’s attention.

Tina was so lost in her desire that she could not hear the approaching voice calling she and Bette’s name.

Bette attempted to swat Tina’s hand away again.

Tina: I want it please. Come on.

Tina attempted again to pull down Bette’s panties.

Tina Lucille Kennard what are you doing?

Marie covering her eyes.

Tina jumped almost two feet.

Tina: Nothing

Tina stumbling on her words

Tina: Uh…UH… Bette was just having a hard time…Um

Marie: Save it for someone who’s naïve. Have you forgotten that we live in a very conservative neighborhood and town. What if someone had seen you?

Tina shielded her one hand with the other and pointed her finger at Bette.

Marie huffed out loud: Save it! I saw you trying to get your way. Get in the house Now!

Marie walks ahead

Tina sheepishly walks behind Marie and Bette follows.

Bette: Boy, I thought she was the nice parent of the two but brother was I ever wrong.

Tina: She is certainly the more levelheaded of the two but my mother can be very stern when pushed. I guess we really pushed her buttons today.

Bette: You must be speaking French. By we you must mean you because what happened in the woods was not my doing and don’t think I didn’t notice you trying to blame me for the whole thing.

Tina raising her eyebrows: What?

Bette approaches Tina and whispers in her ear ever so softly: The little hand gesture you gave your mother I notttiiiccee and you will pay Kennard.

Bette walks ahead leaving Tina with her eyes closed.

Damn how does she do that to me, Tina thought.

Later that day tensions were still high between Tina and her parents at times. Tina was still crossed with them because of learning that they had lied about the true nature of their relationship and identity but glad to see the two women being more at peace with themselves than ever before. She noticed it in their demeanor and interactions. Also they appeared to hold back less with each other. Before there appeared to be a negativity in the air and Tina could not quite understand the reason because by all accounts she could feel the love they had for one another and her.
