The only moment of slight discomfort came late in the night when a tipsy Carmen made a comment, when the topic of ***** and lesbians came up.

Carmen starts laughing.

“What’s so funny?” Her girlfriend asks as the group all look at her.

“Oh my God, I’m Sorry. I just thought of something.” Carmen says wiping tears from her eyes.

“Are you going to share with the group?” Alice asks, never one to like missing out on anything.

Carmen scans the group to think about her answer. “Oh I wish Shane were here.”

“Come on tell us.” Jenny pleads.

“Ok! Ok! I was just thinking about our group here and ya know… who’s slept with who. And how Shane’s got the rep of being a stud but unless I’m wrong here Harper wins that contest. And then Bette, Alice and I tie for second place. I just found it funny. Out of seven of us Harper’s been with three.” Once Carmen says it out loud she wishes she hadn’t since no one burst into laughter like she did.

Harper debates about saying anything but decides to go for it. “Actually, it’s only two.” She keeps it simple for pure reactions sake.

Everyone sits stunned in silence with an expression of shock. Everyone but Bette who sits quietly smiling to herself feeling proud of Shane.

Naturally Alice is the first to react, “Wow! That is quite possibly the most shocking thing I’ve ever heard.”

“Shocking because I knew you for about three hours and I’ve known Shane almost the many months?” Harper decides to keep having fun with it.

Alice truly looks shocked, “Well yeah and Shane’s not known for her abstinence.”

This makes the group laugh.
