Meanwhile in a different corner of Bette’s living room:

“Boy, I feel sorry for Karen.” Said Alice.

“Why? She looks pretty happy right now.” Said Shane.

“Come on. Bette is just going to use her until she finds her next soon to be ex girlfriend.”

“They are good friends and Karen isn’t exactly being dragged kicking and screaming to Porter’s bed.” Observed Shane.

“You know Karen is totally in love with Porter, right?”

“Alice, it really is none of your business, so just pipe down and get some business of your own.” She said as she stuck out her tongue at her nosey friend.

“Hey, I have plenty of business, missy.”

“Sure Al.”

Tina and Eric have been dancing non stop and Tina was getting thirsty.

“Hey Eric, can you get me another drink, please?”

“Sure babe.  What are you drinking?”

Tina looks over Eric’s shoulder at the hostess dancing with one of her other team mates.  She locked eyes with Bette and thought, ‘wow’.  She felt her heart stop for a few seconds. ‘what the hell is that? And where the heck is Desi?’

“Babe?”  Eric was still waiting for her answer.  “Are you ok? You aren’t drunk already are you?”  

She turned back to Eric and said, “No sweetie.  I’ll have a vodka and cranberry juice, please.”

While Eric was off to get her drink.  Tina went in search of her friend.  Just when she was about to approach Bette to ask where she was, her phone vibrated.  It was a text from Desi.

From: Desi
To: Tina

   I left the party early.  Don’t worry if your mom calls, I’ll tell her you’re sleeping here tonight. I’ll talk to you later about me and BP.  That girl is a heartbreaker for sure!
 

Tina wondered what happened between Bette and Desi.  Tina did not know Bette real well.  She has heard many rumors about how much of a player she was though many people seem to really like her.  She is beautiful, smart and talented, so its no wonder.  ‘Damn Tina you seem to have a girl crush.  I have to be a good friend to Desi, so I need to just suppress it.’

“Hey Tina, are you having fun?” asked Bette.
