A Single Mom Meets Someone New Ch 102

 A couple of days later, Gillian and Grace sat on the beach.

“Are we going to brunch tomorrow?” Grace asked Gillian.

“Yeah I promised Aunt Kit.” Gillian said. 

“I love this just worked out look on you. Your muscles are always bigger after practice.” Grace said undressing Gillian with her eyes. 

“You’re silly.” Gillian straddled her.

“You’re sexy.” Grace said kissing Gillian. 

“Thanks you’re not so bad yourself.” Gillian brushed her hands over Grace’s toned abs. “Come I’ve waiting all day to catch some of this totally tubular waves.” 

Grace laughed. “Now who’s being silly.” 

“Not me?” Gillian played. “Come on.” Gillian stood and pulled Grace to her feet. 

Gillian picked up her board and ran into the water.

Gillian and Grace walked into The Planet. The rest of the gang were already there. Tina walked towards them. 

“Good morning.” She said. 

“Good morning.” Grace said returning Tina’s hug. Tina went to hug Gillian but she pulled away from her and walked off. Kit was watching from a distance.

“What has gotten into you?” Kit said pulling Gillian into her office. 

“Nothing.” Gillian said. 

“Stop acting like a child and act like the adult I know you are.” Kit scolded.  

“I know I’m sorry.” Gillian said. 

“What’s going on with you these days? You are all over the place.” Kit said. 

“I promise I’ll chill.” Gillian said. 

“Okay but we’re going to talk later.” Kit said and let Gillian leave. 

Zach ran up to Gillian reaching to be picked up. 

“Hey buddy what you got there.” She picked him up.

“My Fire Truck.” He said. 

“Wanna eat with me?” She said. 

“Uh huh.” He said. 

Gillian sat between Grace and Skylar with Zach in her lap.

“What happened between you guys?” Bette asked Tina from the other end of the table.

“Nothing.” Tina said. They were sitting at the other end of the table. 

“Come on T. There is obviously something going on.” Bette said and handed Quin another crayon. 

“Just moody I guess.” Tina lied and took a sip of her water. 

“I’ll try and talk to her tomorrow. We have a art lab in the morning.” Bette said. 

“No, I talk to her.” Tina said quickly.

“Alright.” Bette said. 

“Let’s eat.” Kit walked out of the kitchen with a tray of food.

“What are you guys doing this afternoon?” Skylar asked. 

“Umm Gillian has something she said she had to do but wouldn’t tell me what it was.” Grace said. 

“Interesting.” Skylar said. 

“She’s up to something but not knowing what is it I don’t know how to stop her from doing something she’ll regret later.” Grace said. 

“Speaking from experience you can’t stop her its useless to try but you can be there when the shit hits the fan, and it will.” Skylar said. 

“Were still on for lab in the morning right?” Bette said. 

“Yeah, at MOCA, right?” Gillian said. 

“Yep you guys drive safe.” Bette said. 

“We will don’t worry.” Gillian hugged Bette and walked away as Tina was approaching. 

“What was that?” Bette asked. 

“I don’t know. We’ve got to go. I’ve got an emergency meeting though.” Tina said. Gillian overheard. 

“Go ahead. I’ll get Kit or Shane to give us a ride.” Bette said. 

“You don’t mind?” Tina asked. 

“No, go ahead.” Bette said. 

“Thanks babe.” Tina smiled and kissed Bette. Bette watched her pull off.
