Rescue Me, Chapter 44

“I guess we can always order in,” said Bette, “Just think, we might only have to get out of bed, this weekend, to pay the delivery guys.”

“Hmm, I like the way your mind works,” said Tina as she gave Bette another juicy kiss.  “You know Bette, while we waiting for the food, we can…”

… talk about setting a date for our wedding.”

“Huh?” queried Bette.

“What’s the matter Babe?  You seem confused by something.”

“T, I thought you wanted to …”

Tina leans over to Bette, nuzzles her neck and whispers into her ear,” You thought I wanted to make slow sweet passionate love to you?”

Bette shivers and says, “Something like that. Umm, Baby if you keep breathing into my ear like that, I’ll melt right here.”

Tina again whispers, “Would that be a bad thing?”

“No,” smiles Bette, ”but I don’t feel quite comfortable doing that sort of thing in the center of a busy shopping plaza.”

“You are so easy; like putty in my hands,” smirks Tina.

“Whatever, T.  Come on, let’s get going.  Don’t forget, you promised the girls we’d meet them for drinks tonight.”

“I did do that, didn’t I?”

“Yup, I think I could find better things to do on a day off than spending time in a crowded, smoke-filled pub listening to the high and low points of Alice’s latest romance,” replies Bette.

“Really?”

“Yup.”

“For instance,” asked Tina.

“Well, for starters, a full body massage followed by a relaxing bubble bath.”

“Mmmm, that does sound nice; what next,” asked Tina.

“Well, then perhaps a quiet dinner for two followed by dancing under the stars and a moonlight swim.”

“And how would you plan on ending this proposed perfect evening Bette?”

“Champagne and strawberries for two in our moon lit bedroom, on sheets of satin, followed by hours of passionate love making.”

“Do you think it’s too late to call Alice and cancel?”

“Dr. Kennard, are you actually contemplating ditching our friends for a quiet evening at home, alone?”

“YUP!”

“OK, T.  I’ll call Shane and offer our apologies.  She’ll come up with a plausible excuse for the rest of the girls.”

“I do love you Paramedic, almost doctor Porter.”

“I love you too, T.”

Bette and Tina get into their car.  Tina drives toward their house while Bette calls Shane. As she drives Bette lays her hand on Tina’s thigh.  Tina smiles and glances at Bette as she finishes her phone cal to Shane.

“OK Shane thanks a lot.  I’ll call you tomorrow night and you can fill me in on what we missed.”

“Well T we’re all set.  I can hardly wait for my full body massage.”

“What!  Bette Porter, don’t you for one second think you’ll be the one getting a full body massage tonight.”

“Baby, I planned for us to both have full body massages.  I hired the massage therapists three days go.  That’s why I was mildly annoyed when you told the girls we’d go out for drinks.”

“Oh Babe, I’m sorry, I just thought…”

“It’s OK T.  I knew I could get things back on track by detailing my plans for a perfect evening of romance.  No who’s easy?  And what was that you were saying about ‘putty in your hands’?”

“I give up, you win Bette.”

“Baby, I won the day I met you.  Besides, tonight, while we’re soaking, maybe we can discuss those wedding plans,” says Bette flashing her thousand watt smile.

Tina smiled and replied,” Perhaps.”
