Chapter 13

Bette: “I hope you realize that was very evil yesterday.” Bette stated as she hung up machete paper to Tina’s apt wall. They had been working in companiable silence, getting everything ready for the party.

Tina: “What was evil?” Tina asked in her most innocent voice.

Bette: “Your actions last night.”

Tina: “Really? Well did you know that your actions yesterday morning were evil also?”

Bette: “No they weren’t. There’s no comparing the two.” Bette kept her back to Tina in an attempt to hide her true opinion.

Tina: “What do you mean there’s no comparing them? They are one and the same. My actions were a direct reaction to your initial wrong doings.”

Bette: “Bullshit”

Tina: “Bullshit?” Tina asked incredulously

Bette: “Yes, Bullshit.”

Tina: “That’s all you’re going to say is bullshit?”

Bette: “Yes.”

Tina: “That’s not a retort.”

Bette: “Well did you like it?”

Tina: “Like what?”

Bette: “Yesterday.”

Tina: “Yeah”

Bette: “Good.”

Tina: “Did you like yours?”

Bette: “It wasn’t until after I had taken a cold shower that I could truly appreciate it all.”

Tina laughed at the image in her mind of a frustrated Bette. “Good.”

Bette: “Did you like tormenting me?”

Tina: “As a matter of fact, I did,”

Bette: “I’ll have to remember that.” Bette said and quickly kissed her. “So what time are you supposed to pick up Kristen?”

Tina: “Uh around, 9:30, she’s having dinner with Jared and the boys.”

Bette: “And what time is the “entertainment” supposed to be here?”

Tina: “10:30, I double checked this afternoon.”

Bette: “Great that gives us plenty of time for what I have in mind.”

Tina: “And what do you have in mind?”

Bette: “Eating out.”

Tina: “Excuse me?”

Bette: “Lets go get something to eat.”

Tina: “Like I said, you’re the evil one.”

Kristen: “So where are you taking me? I hope its some place trashy; I could do with a little trash right now. You know some place that I could become belligerently drunk and no one would bat an eye.” Kristen said from the passenger seat of Tina’s car.
