"pretty much"

"Fuck you Tina" Dana said "Are you nervous?"

"Not really. Being in her presence makes me feel safe and secure. I’m comfortable around her. Like I’ve known her my whole life"

"Just take everything slow. You know the joke"

"What joke?"

"what do lesbians bring on the second date?" Dana asked and then waited for Tina to answer "A moving truck. Get it?" Dana’s joke was greeted by silence. "You have no sense of humor" Dana said

"That is by far the stupidest thing I have ever heard"

"Aw come on. It’s kinda funny" Dana Protested

"No it’s not"

Whatever, I’m outta here. It’s late and I got training in the morning. Have fun and I want details" Dana said getting up from the table.

" And don’t do anything I wouldn’t do" Dana said walking away

"If that were the case nothing would get done" Tina said Dana didn’t bother to reply. She just flipped Tina the bird and kept walking.

Bette~

Bette tried to keep her mind on the contracts in front of her but all she could do was look at the clock every five minutes. It seemed liketime was at a stand still. To her it had been 7:45 for the last fifteen minutes. Bette got up to fix herself a cup of tea, when the phone rang. She ran back to pick it up.

"Hello" She answered smiling

"Hey Porter. How’s it hanging?"

The smile fell from Bette’s face. She loved Alice but it wasn’t the call she was looking forward to.

"Alice how nice to hear from you. What do you want?" Bette asked

"Well since you seemed to have forgotten how to return phone calls, I figured I’d call and see how you’re holdin up" Alice replied

"I’m fine Al, I’d be even better if you would mind your business sometimes"

"And I want a millions dollars and we both know that ain’t gonna happen so spill it"

"A little nervous. She’s so beautiful"

"She’s so straight. Eric is the All American Boy, She’s the All American Girl and together they’re living the All American Dream. What makes you think she’s gonna give all that up for you?" Alice asked

"Simple, Eric is an All American Asshole and seh deserves better and I am going to show her just how good things can be" Bette replied

"Good just checking. You kow making sure you have a plan. I can’t let you go into this half assed" Alice said

"Thanks Al" Bette said and then her line beeped "Al can you hold on a sec?"

"Sure"

Bette clicks over and answers her other line

"Hello?"

"Hi, Bette, It’s Tina"

Bette’s heart instantly starts to beat faster at the sound of her voice

"Hey T, how are you?" Bette asked

"I’m fine and you" Tina answered

"I’m doing alot better now. what did you do today?"

"Well I did some shopping and went to lunch with a friend of mine. pretty low key. How about you?" Tina asked

" I had a meeting and then I went over some contracts for the next show. Nothing exciting" Bette explained

"All work and no play make Bette a dull girl" Tina teased

"Well hopefully tomorrow will be play" Bette said laughing

"Speaking of tomorrow what are we doing?" Tina asked

"If I told you I would have to kill you"

"So your not gonna tell me?"

"Nope"

"Not even a little clue?"

"Nothing at all"

"Please" Tina whined

Bette could picture in Tina sitting there with her lip poked out. She knew that she had met her match with Tina

"Whining is not gonna work. You’ll just have to be a good girl and waiuntil tomorrow" Bette told her

"If I promise to behave do I get a prize?" Tina asked

"Sure what do you want?"

"I’ll leave that up to you" Tina said

"I’ll pick you up at 11"

"You know where I live at right?"

"Yes I do"

"Then I guess we are all set. Good Night Bette" Tina said

"Sweet dreams T" Bette replied and they hung up.  Bette sat there and thought of Tina. Her thought were interupted by the sound of her phone ringing.

"If you ever leave me on hold like that again I will kill you" Shouted Alice

"Good Night Al" Bette said and then hung up the phone. Bette put the phone back on the hook and went into her bathroom. She brushed her teeth and went to bed. She wanted to make sure that she was well rested for the next day.
