Bette left the door open every night since that night with Stevie but there was no sign of her. She left for a photo shoot after their kiss.  Bette was starting to become afraid she wasn’t coming back.  She wanted to ask Shane but it was clear She didn’t want them together.  She was starting to go angry.  Stevie showed up 3 weeks later.  She sauntered into the Planet as if nothing happened and she had been there every day.  Bette tried to control her emotion in front of everyone.

Stevie:  “Hey everyone.”

Alice:  “Hey!”

Jenny:  “How was NY?”

Tina:  “Ohh that’s where you were?  I was wondering.”

Stevie:  “yeah it was great, crazy!”

Alice:   “What were you there for?”

Stevie:  “Fashion week.  Did a little free lance work here and there.  I made some great contacts.”

Shane:  “Any of those contacts happen to be with an agent?”

Stevie rolled her eyes.

Stevie:  “You really going to start that again?”

Shane:  “No sorry.  Just don’t run out again, punk ass.”

Stevie:  “Shut up then jerk.”

Shane:  “Ass hole”

Stevie:  “Wanker.”

Shane:  “Shrew.  I’m going to get coffee, you want?”

Stevie:  “Damn right.   Oh and Shane….”

She stopped for a second.

Stevie:  “…I missed you too.”

Shane smiled and kept on her way.   Tina got up to talk to Kit while Jenny and Alice were admiring some lady that walked in.  Bette saw her chance.”

Bette:  “Fancy meeting you here stranger.  What happened to you?”

Stevie:  “Didn’t you hear?  NY”

Stevie couldn’t even look her in the eye.

Bette:  “I heard that.  I’m talking about me and you.”

Stevie:   “There is no me and you.   I made a mistake.”

Bette:  “Mistake?”

Stevie:  “Yes.  I told my sister I’d keep my hands off her friends.  I intend on honoring my word.  I’m sorry if I led you on.”

Bette just looked at her.  Stevie briefly turned to caught her gaze but quickly looked away as to not get caught in a mahogany web.

Bette:  “You don’t want that.”

Stevie:  “That doesn’t matter its what my sister wants.”
