she said “no..I’ve got a better one instead”

I turned my head to the side and said “oh yeah…what?”

she said “meet me by the pool in ten mintues…naked” she raises her brow

I said”wait..wait…that won’t work” I shook my head and asked “isn’t there a class in there today?”

she smiles at me and says “nope..it’s empty…trust me..I already checked…I’ll see you in ten minutes” she winks at me and walks away**************

“The life and times of Bette Porter” chpt 5 of 5

UMASS BOSTON

I head into the locker room and begin to undress. Thoughts of being caught with my professor were over crowing my brain. I needed to relax and take it easy. Shane walks in whistling. She sees me and stops she says

“whoa! Hey Bette, what are you doing in the here?” she smiles

I smiled and said “I’m about to go for a swim”

she smiles and rubs her hands together she says “great, I’ll join you”

I put my hands up and said “no, I’d rather be alone”

she stops smiling and says ” what’s wrong?”

“nothing” I say. I then said “I just wanna be alone”

she nods her head and says “ok, well if you change your mind I’ll be shooting hoops in the gym”

“okay” I said as I wrapped my towel around me

she laughs and says “Bette, aren’t you gonna put some clothes on?”

“nope” I said. I added “I’m gonna swim just like this”

she steps forward and says “wait a minute”

I stop and turn around. She gazes into my eyes and shakes her head. She lowers her head and then looks at me. I ask

“what?” out of curiosity

she says “never mind”

I chuckled and lowered my head. Shane chuckled too. I looked up and smiled at her. She said

“you be careful”

I smiled and said “I will”

Shane smiled and tapped my shoulder. She left the locker room. I exhaled and walked out the locker room moments later. I crept around the corner and headed down towards the pool. I entered and looked around for Tina. I begin walking along the deck. The color of the water reflected around the room. I smiled and turned around making sure to check every spot with my wondering eyes.
