Chapter 3

“Hey, gorgeous.”

“Hey Papi,” Tina leaned in to kiss Papi on the cheek.  At the last minute Papi turned and got her full on the lips.

“Papi behave” Tina admonished with a smile.  She knew Papi was a player and most interested in trying to push Tina’s buttons.  Even though she had slept with Al and Helena, Papi seemed so much younger and out of bounds as a lover because they were is such different places in their lives.  ‘Of course,’ Tina thought to herself and grinned, I might want to keep her number handy for my second trimester. 

Tina took a seat beside Helena and turned to see Bette on the other side of her and glaring at her.  Tina was taken aback by this.

“Hey there.”  Tina greeted. “What’s with the look?”

Bette caught herself.  “Sorry.  I guess that I just surprised that you had something going on with Papi.”

Tina laughed.  “There isn’t.  I’m just a challenge to her, an older woman.  But I decided that I might keep her in mind for 2^nd trimester.” She confided

Bette just looked at her blankly.  “Why’s that?”

Tina smiled, “That’s when pregnant women are at their horniest.”

Bette looked down.  “Oh I didn’t know that.  Sorry I missed that time.”

“Actually you didn’t,” Tina winked.

“Huh?…Oh” she got it and recalled that night after the scan.  It was amazing.  Tina was so on fire, so in control and so unquenchable.  Bette had to admit that it was probably one of the best if not the best sex she had ever had and couldn’t help but wonder if she would survive having that every night for 3 months.  She was somewhat ashamed that the idea made her heart quicken.

Al arrived at that moment and greeted everyone at the table, then took a seat opposite Helena and Tina and beside Bette and Papi.

“Al what do you hear from Tasha?”  Tina asked, concerned about the lovely African American’s role in the war.

“Its still a war but she seems to be doing ok.  Luckily that useless prick will be out of there soon!”

Papi stared at Al as did the other three at the table. “Tasha??”
