Chapter Thirteen

Bette Porter narrative

I blushed as I noticed Shane. I thought she was gonna attack me or something and I didn’t want to hurt Tina’s best friend. Shane raised her eyebrows and then said:

“Well… I gotta go, Tina. Some girl’s waiting for me, y’know…” she trailed off.

“What d’you mean? You were going to stay over?”

“Yeah, well, totally forgot about her. We’ll do it some other time. I promise. And that girl I am seeing has this friend, Lara, and Dana is totally crazy about her. She’d bring her too and I guess Dana wouldn’t mind coming with me, y’know, since Lara’s there…”

“I get it,” Tina smiled. “Now, get the hell out of here.” Tina looked right into my eyes and I felt like I was endlessly falling. “I’ve got some job to do here,” she said.

Shane smiled and walked away. I looked at Tina.

“This is where you are supposed to invite me in. I mean, that’s what most people do, Kennard.”

“But I’m not most people, am I, Porter?”

“Never.”

“But I’ll let you in. Couldn’t let this stunning spend the night at my doorstep.”

“Spend the night?”

“You are going nowhere tonight. My parents are out of town. Shane, Dana and I were having a girl’s night in, at least, that was until you came in the picture and kissed me senseless.”

“I’m sorry… I mean… you know. What about Alice?”

“Completely crazy for a girl. I believe her name was… Dana?”

“No!”

“Totally. But Dana doesn’t know. Al just can’t handle spending so much time so close to Dana and not tell her about her feelings or kiss her.”

“So why doesn’t she?”

“Because Dana is crazy for Lara.”

“Uhu.” I really don’t know this people, so I don’t know what to say.

“Now, get your ass in here.”

“Only my ass?”

Tina grinned and pulled me in, closing the door behind me with her foot. I looked at her, she was amazing. She was wearing a tight tee-shirt that didn’t cover her stomach completely and tracksuit trousers. Her hair was loose and just falling over her shoulders. I ran my fingers trough it.

“Now, what do you want to do?” I asked her.
