“Shane what would you like” Bette asked

“A cheeseburger, fries and a chocolate milkshake?” Shane said

“Sure thing and I’ll take the tuna on wheat, extra mayo and an ice tea”

“Gotcha. Don’t look now but here comes Alice” Kit said walking away.

“Porter where the hell have you been and who the fuck is this?” Alice said sitting down

“Alice how nice of you to join us, Thanks”

“Oh don’t you sweet talk me. Where have you been? I drove by your house last night and your car wasn’t there and you didn’t answer you cell phone and now you’re here with this Twinkie. No offense kid”

“None taken” Shane said

“First of all Al, she’s not a Twinkie. Her name is Shane and she’s going to be staying with Tina for a few weeks and as to where I was, that’s none of you business. I am grown and free to go as I please.”

“Don’t dodge my questions Porter. I demand answers. Where were you last night?”

“At my girlfriend’s house having dinner” Bette felt that it was better to skip over the hospital part with Alice.

“Ah so you finally slept with her?”

“For you information Alice P. I didn’t. Well we didn’t.”

Just then kit came over and placed their drinks on the table

“Why the fuck not?”

“Leave her alone Alice” Kit said walking away

“Al for once will you shut up and mind your business. We just didn’t okay?”

“Fine. You’ll tell me sooner or later.” Alice said. She finally turned her full attention to Shane who looked at Alice with a curious look on her face

“What the fuck are you looking at?” Alice asked

“Nothing. It’s just that you’re exactly how Bette said you would be” Shane replied with a smile on her face

“Yeah and how’s that?

“Like a jittery Chihuahua on speed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with ten shots of espresso” Shane replied

Bette spit her ice tea across the table and started laughing while Alice sat there with her mouth wide open.

Shane reached over and pushed Alice’s jaw up with her finger “Didn’t your mother ever tell you not let your mouth hanging wide open? You’ll catch flies”

“Holy shit Porter. I like her. She has balls” Alice said as Kit brought over their food

“Who has balls?” Kit asked

“This one right here. She’ll fit in nicely. Yes she will” Alice replied

“Yea she shut Alice up” Bette told her

“Well young one, welcome to the family” Kit said giving Shane a hug “If you can shut Alice up, you’ll fit in perfectly.
