“Hello Cat,” Frankie’s voice cut in, “you look well.”

“Frankie,”Cat smiled at her but made no move towards her instead drawing closer to Sam.

Sam nodded “Hello Frankie, how long have you been back?”

“Three months, I decided I missed the old country and came home, besides my girlfriend is from Edinburgh and I missed her, at that a woman with long dark hair came across the bar, she was a slightly younger version of Cat, petite and girly, she had a bright red top on and a gray skirt with red shoes to match, “meet Ali,” Frankie jumped up and put her arm around Ali’s shoulder, “Cat , Sam this is my girlfriend Ali, we met in LA last year but she had to come home when her work permit expired, I decided to join her three months ago.”

Cat looked stunned, Sam reached out a hand and shook Ali’s “Nice to meet you.”

“Oh yes really nice to meet you,” Cat shook her hand ansd they all sat down. Cat continued to stare at Ali, she leaned over to Sam, “am I being naieve here or does she remined me of me?”

“No Cat you’re not, she is very like you but definatly not as gorgeouse.” Sam put her arm around Cat. “Cat looked at her and could see the mischief in her eyes, “You don’t think she is trying to make me jelous do you?”

“I guess she could be, are you?”  Sam’s expression changed, “No definatly not, i just wish she was still in LA.”

” Hi Darlings, is the delectable Ed not with you?” David arrived back with a tray of drinks, I took the liberty of buing for you girls and Jay, Beer Sam, Wine Cat and Beer for you Jay,” David was flamboyant in his nature and past the drinks around as if he was performing a ballet, Now were can Ed be? You did invite him didn’t you Tess?”

“For the 10th time yes, and I have no idea why he is late, he hasn’t answered my texts yet.”  Tess looked at David as if he was the most irritating person alive, just as she was about to speak again Ed arrived with a woman attached to his arm.
