Tina: ‘’ this is not something that can be sorted out overnight Alice. We are talking and that’s a start ok! Listen I gotta go. We’re stopping by the Planet to meet up for lunch, so if you are there, no snide comments please.’’

They finish their conversation and Tina gets back to work so she can be done for lunch.

She gets to the planet the same time as Bette who is just getting out of her car. She parks behind Bette and signals a wave. They gather their things and head in together.

Chapter 9

As they both entered the planet, they were not ready for the reaction that bestowed before them. The place was packed and by the reaction of silence, they all knew that the most infamous/ perfect lesbian couple in west Hollywood had split. But no one was ready for the two of them to walk into the planet together.

Tina and Bette stood there, not knowing what to do or where to look.

Tina: ‘’ Holy Shit’’ She whispered

Bette looked at Tina and saw that her face was flushed and that she was finding this hard to deal with, not knowing if to turn and walk out the door or stay and hold her head, until she caught a glimpse of Alice and Shane at one of the tables.

Bette: ‘’ Come on’’ She whispered.

Bette placed her arm on the small of Tina’s back and guided her to the table.

As they started to move the patron’s turned back to the conversations that they were having before, knowing full well that they were probably talking about the two of them.

Bette and Tina quickly took their seats and Bette leaned toward Tina and whispered.

Bette: ‘’ Tee are you ok?’’

Tina: ‘’ Yeah, I’m fine. I just wasn’t expecting that sort of reaction, if any.’’

Alice: ‘’ You guy’s ok, jeeze, talk about an entrance. Anybody would think that you were famous.

Tina: ‘’ Alice, shut the fuck up ok. I warned you’’

Shane: ‘’ You will never learn will you Al. Let me get you guy’s a drink’’

Bette & Tina: ‘’ Thanks Shane’’

Shane returns with their drinks and an awkward silence takes over the table.
