Chapter 7

Tina can I see you in my office please?

Sure.

Oh and bring the original specs for Patriot when youre coming.

No problem.

KNOCK KNOCK

Bette? Whats up?

Hi, please have a seat.

Thanks, but whats going on? Why so formal?

Bette smiled, Oh Im sorry, didnt mean to be. Emmett wanted the original design. He said something about the government wanting to see them. I spoke with him briefly this morning and I think I have good news for you.

Really?

Yeah. The initial plan you had with the full attire, helmet, gun and the jacket with the sensor?

Yeah.

Well the Secretary of Defence would like to have a demo of it. He gave us till the end of July to present it to him and some other big shots in the army and marines. And guess what?

What?

I didnt discuss this with Emmett yet, but I would like for you to do the demo instead of me. I mean this is your baby and I dont think I would do it justice.

Are you kidding? I could never do that. I mean Jess always does the presentations I just do the work. I cant talk in front of people yet alone dignitaries like them. No, no I cant, you do it. You have to.

Tina calm down. Its not till two months from now so I can coach you. You will do great. I know you will. Bette winked at Tina and Tina started to blush like a schoolgirl. Hummm, is that a smile I see?

You really think I can do it?

Of course. Bette smiled at Tina. So last night was nice.

I had a nice time too.

But that goodnight kiss was not what I was hoping for.

Well what were you expecting?

More like what I wanted.

And what was that?

Bette got up and locked the door, then walked over to Tina. She took her by the hand and raised her till their eyes met. She took gently placed her lips on Tinas. She parted Tinas lips with her tongue. Tina gasped at the touch and Bette pulled away. Although the thought of kissing Tina didnt leave her mind since that first night, she didnt want to rush Tina.

Are you ok?

Wow. Was all Tina could say. She couldnt breathe, her knees buckled and her face was red and warm. Bette became concerned and was helped Tina back to the seat. If I were that bad you could just tell me you know.

Bad? That was. Tina tried to find the words to describe how she felt but nothing could describe it. Come here. Tina pulled Bette into her and Bette welcomed the kiss. Both women became lost in the kiss almost forgetting where they were until there was a knock on the door.

*****. Bette whispered. The door is locked. How am I going to explain the door being locked?

Just tell them you were getting it on with a co worker. The two women snickered like children.

Bette smacked Tina an the buttocks, Naughty girl. She then straightened herself and opened the door.

Oh Emmett, Im sorry, the door must have locked when I closed it. I must get it checked.

Thats ok, um did you get the specs from Tina. I passed by her desk but she wasnt there. As he entered the office he saw Tina sitting in the chair. Ah Tina, just the person I was looking for.

Tina heard Emmetts statement and confirmed, Bette and I were just looking them over.

Great. I have another meeting with them on Thursday and they want to take a look at it.

Ok, sure no problem, we should have something done by this afternoon, tomorrow for the latest.

Excellent. Ok ladies, carry on. Emmett said as he left the office.

That was close. Tina said now laughing at what could have happened. Bette moved in closer to Tina. What are you doing?

He did say carry on.

Now who is being naughty? Tina leaned into the kiss, then good sense prevailed and she broke away, As tempting as this is, we should get back to work. We do have a deadline.

Oh alright. Bette unlocked the door and let Tina out. But I dont think I will let you go that easily next time.

Tina went back to her cubicle with a goofy grin on her face. Her mind was in one place, Bettes office. She thought about the kiss. The way Bettes lips felt against hers. Imagine if she has this effect on me with just a kiss, how would making love to her be, the thought of making love to Bette sent a warm feeling through her body. Concentrate Tina, concentrate. This has to be done by tomorrow. She smiled, Hummm I could linger and have to work late. Stop, stop, stop.
