They checked into their hotel rooms and freshened up. Bette lay on the bed wearing the robe the hotel provided questioning if she actually thought this whole trip through. What if Tina was going to be there? I mean where is she these days anyway? What would she say if she did see her, after all they never did say goodbye? Would Tina actually talk to her after all Bette left too it wasn’t just Tina… gosh she’s probably over you by now. She slowly began to drift off to sleep thinking of how the night would play out.

“Room service!” Bette’s eyes shot open to realise she hadn’t shut the curtains before she fell asleep. She rubbed her eyes blocking the sun, “I didn’t order anything” but the knocking continued. When she opened the door a very cheerful Alice was waiting outside. “Sometimes I like to pretend I’m not with her” Shane stuffed her sunnies into her jacket pocket. “Bette, nice suite…what are they paying you in gold?” Alice teased pushing the buttons on a control which shut the automatic blinds. “wow” she mouthed to Shane. “I didn’t realise you guys were going to be here so early, let me go take a quick shower and we can go for breakfast” Alice and Shane mucked around in Bette’s room whilst she was getting ready.

Over breakfast Alice causally asked (well in her mind she did) “I’m worried, all this Tina talk lately, are you getting much action lately?” hearing this nearly caused Bette to spit out her orange juice. “Excuse me?” sounding a little offended, “just every time I call you, you are always busy with some girl or at least you are panting…I don’t know what you are doing… I’m just wondering are you seeing anyone special in New York that we should know about?” wondering how to put this in a way that would shine her in a positive light, “I work A LOT, I don’t have time for girlfriends…but a girls got to survive somehow if you know what I mean” glancing at Shane quickly. “Oh…I see that little game you two play with girls. Sleeping around, trying not to hurt anybody, well you know what, it will only last so long until the same thing is done to you and it hurts believe me!” Alice a light flustered tried to calm herself down. “What’s with her?” Bette whispered to Shane.
