Flirting over ASL

I nearly forgot the day of the week- Camp Nano is going pretty bad, although I'm hoping to record and upload an update vlog sometime Wednesday. As usual for me, I'm writing "scenes" rather than "chapters." I skipped ahead in the first scene after Gareth (Bea's husband) got home from work. As I've been joking during this writing, "How do I make learning ASL sexy?" Did I succeed? :D

I swallowed; Bea had flirted, but never said she was exactly okay with me being bisexual and polyamorous, or what her identity was.

"Why don't you enjoy your company, dear, and I'll set the table?" Gareth placed his mug on the table between his chair and the couch. "If I'm not mistaken, it seems you'd like to flirt more with Bea."

The heat rushed into my cheeks.

"It seems you can't hide your interest from Gareth," Bea quipped. "How well do you know the manual alphabet so far?"

I carefully moved my right hand through the hand shapes. At P, I hesitated as I tried to remember the shape.

Bea took hold of my hand. She pressed my ring and pinkie fingers over against my palm. Leading my middle finger to my thumb. She led my hand so my fingers pointed at the floor.

I pressed my thighs together, grateful for my ankle length dress.

"P," Bea murmured.

"P," I whimpered.

"The rest of the alphabet?" she prompted.

I rushed through the rest of the hand positions, finishing Z just in time for Gareth to call out, "Dinner's served."
