"Alice do not get fucking involved in this," Dana scolded.

"Oh come on baby," Alice insisted, "Bette is miserable! She’s a submissive without a domme and this is the perfect place for her to find one."

"It doesn’t work that way Alice," Dana growled, "it takes trust to build that kind of relationship."

"How would you know that?" Alice challenged.

"I’ve seen Bette get hurt so many times and I know that’s what she needs."

"But Dana, doesn’t she want to get hurt?"

"NOT LIKE THAT!"

Alice sighed in frustration and said, "okay okay, look. My friend Tina is a domme and she says that this dominatrix club is fantastic."

"It may be fantastic for dommes, but is it fantastic for submissives?" Dana argued.

"I’m sure it’ll be fine," Alice said.

"Alice don’t get involved."

"Just trust me."

Alice walked away from Dana and walked up to Bette’s apartment. Bette answered the door on the second ring.

"Oh, hey Alice," Bette said.

"Why do you sound so disappointed first of all," Alice said, "and second of all why are you all locked up on a Saturday night?"

"My teacher was gonna drop off the edits of my first draft, but it’s almost nine, so she probably didn’t finish it," Bette said trying to hide her disappointment.

"Yeah, Dana told me you like her," Alice said.

"I do not!" Bette insisted.

Alice smiled teasingly and said, "what’s her name?"

"Tina, but what does that matter?"

"Tina? Hey I have a friend named Tina, what a coincidence," Alice said laughing.

"Yeah," Bette said, "but it’s probably not the same one. There’s a lot of Tinas."

"I bet there is," Alice said, "alright listen, I think you need to go out and get your head out of your book for a while. You’ve been working non stop with that teacher of yours for over a month!"

"Who would I go out with Alice?" Bette pointed out.

"By yourself," Alice said.

"And where’s the fun in that Al?" Bette asked.

"Well, the place I want you to go to is an exclusive domme/submissive club," Alice said wiggling her eyebrows, "it’s just what you need."

"If I needed sex I can easily get a girl to come home with me," Bette said rolling her eyes.

"Fantastic and they can make you come 20 fucking times in a row and you still won’t be happy."

Bette was stunned into silence. For once the nosy blonde was right. With a sigh of defeat she went inside to change.

"Have fun tiger," Alice teased as Bette stepped in the elevator. She chuckled when Bette flipped her off.

She waited until Bette elevator left, to ‘see her off’ before summoning the second elevator.

The elevator dinged and when it opened she ran right into Tina.

"Tina! Hey!" Alice said.

"Alice!" Tina greeted, "what are you doing here? I’m doing a house call for one of my students."

"Oh Bette!" Alice laughed.

"You know her?" Tina asked.

"Yeah she’s my friend," Alice said, "it’s funny she mentioned her teacher named Tina and I was telling her that I had a friend with the same name but that they couldn’t be the same person."

"What a small world," Tina said smiling, "is Bette in?"

"Actually I just sent her out to ‘Posh.’"

"What!?" Tina exclaimed.

"Yeah you told me it was amazing and she’s a lonely submissive so I sent her," Alice said.

Tina’s eyes widened, "Alice I am a domme! You can’t send a submissive like that on her own, they’ll eat her alive!"

Alice’s face contorted with worry, "oh no! I made her leave her phone!"

Tina sighed in frustration and jumped into the elevator, "I will go get her."
