“Thanks Al, sorry for waking you…I’m sooo over Tina I swear” Alice rolled her eyes. “Yep, I’m sure you are Porter. Night” throwing her phone away trying to get back to sleep.

‘Get a grip Porter. It has been years since high school, you have soooo moved on since then’ shaking the dream off she striped and climbed into the shower. She let the warm water wash over taking the images of Tina with it.

On her way to work she stopped by the coffee shop that she went by nearly every morning for the past 5 years. “Hey Sam, my usual please” Sam smiled, it was the best part of her day when Bette walked in wearing one of her power suits, she definitely turned heads. “Hi Bette” she leaned over the counter whispering, “Are we still on for tonight?” biting her bottom lip, hoping Bette wouldn’t blow her off. “Coarse we are my place at 8?” Glancing at her chest as she peered over the counter.

“Isn’t that a bit late to have dinner?”
“yeah…we should just skip dinner, I think I’ll be working late tonight, but we can still have coffee and talk…or whatever” flashing her famous Porter smile.

Now this is where you are probably thinking Bette’s moved on and rightfully so, it has been 5 years. However, Bette hasn’t had a serious relationship since Tina. When she moved out to New York random sex with strangers was a way of covering up the hurt she felt. She wanted to forget about Tina because they were never going to be together again, she needed to move on and find someone else who would support her and follow her wherever she would go. She hasn’t been able to connect on an emotional level with anyone since Tina and therefore the random sex was just driving her ego and of coarse a healthy release.

Walking towards her office she stopped at her assistants desk, “Morning, here’s your coffee James” A couple of years after graduation James decided he wanted to visit his best friend and see how her new life in the big city was going. Bette had explained how great her job was and she was being promoted and needed an assistant, James jumped at the opportunity to work for her. “Thanks Bette. Peggy called, she wants to meet with you this morning, also I moved your 10 o’clock to 11 because of your meeting with Peggy therefore I had to cancel lunch at 12 with your stunningly good looking friend but he said he understands” Flashing a smile at her. “Thank you James”
