A very short short.

No copyright infringement intended - characters belong to IC and Showtime, the "storyline" is mine. So, hands off :) Just enjoy.

Bette and Tina were each lying in a lounge chair next to the pool, sunbathing. Tina was sporting a black bikini, a pair of sunglasses perched on top of her nose. Next to her was Bette, filling out a white bikini nicely. They were just enjoying the sun on their day off, both feeling that they needed it. Not only was there the stress of work - they also both had trouble concentrating on said work.

The reason was that both of them just came out of a serious long term relationship. Bette had been dumped by her girlfriend, Sheila, after three years. It came out of nowhere and even though this had happened eight months ago, Bette still had no idea why she'd done it. Her first suspicion was of course that there was somebody else, but Sheila had denied it and Bette was sure at least Alice would've heard something through the lesbian grapevine by now.

Tina had ended her relationship with Lindsey after two and a half years because she Lindsey had gotten a job offer that would make all her professional dreams come true - only she had to move across the country for it. Tina didn't want to move away from her own life, but she also didn't want to stop Lindsey from pursuing her dreams. On top of that, she felt they had drifted apart already and that they wouldn't have lasted either way.

So this was the first time in years that the best friends were both single at the same time - and at the same place.

"I miss sex," Tina suddenly blurted out.

"Me too," Bette sighed. "I haven't had any since Sheila and I broke up."

"Same here," Tina confessed. "I haven't gone that long without sex in... well, I don't even remember. Probably since I was a virgin."

Bette looked at Tina.

Tina looked at Bette.

Tina took her sunglasses off.

Bette raised one eyebrow.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Tina finally asked.

"You do look great in that skimpy bikini."

"Glad that you think so. You don't look too bad yourself," Tina attempted a wink.

"Only 'not too bad'?" Bette pouted.

She stood up and walked over to her friend. She straddled her hips, took her arms and pinned her hands above her head. She leant down, seductively bringing her mouth closer to Tina's neck. The blonde whimpered and moved her head a little to allow Bette more space. The brunette stopped just as her lips were about to touch Tina's skin.

"Just 'not too bad'?"

"Alright!" Tina groaned. "You look hot as hell in that bikini."

"Glad you think so," Bette quipped. "Because in about two seconds, I am going to ravish you until you forget your own name."

"Looking forward to it."

But Bette had already begun her attack.

THE END
