Alice: What matter? On the phone?

Bette: (Before thinking for too long.) Yeah.

Dana: The phone didn’t even ring. (Letting out a giggle.)

     Shane just sat smiling at the two crazy ladies in front of her. She assumed she knew what had been going on. Bette and Tina looked like the wind had been knocked out of them.

Bette: Well, it-uh, was important. (Smiling.) Sorry to have left you all.

Kit: (Watching in disbelief.) Uh huh.

      Everyone remained silent until Jenny spoke.

Jenny: Okay, so who here is like totally in love with that new movie? (Turning to Shane in particular.)

     Tina turned to Bette, swatting Bette’s hand from hers.

Tina: You made that sound so raunchy! (Smiling but angry, continuing to whisper.) Why did you announce it like that?

     Bette just remained confused as she sat down and waited for her sanity to return.Once everyone had finished and it was getting late, everyone began to thank Bette and Tina for the wonderdul night, leaving one by one.

Dana: Wow.

Kit: Yeah, thanks again. This was great.

Alice: As always. And hey, you don’t be ashamed. (Pinching Bette and Tina’s cheeks.) You’ve still got it. (Picking up her coat.)

Bette: Al! Come on. We weren’t …

Shane: Sure you weren’t. (Smiling.) Hey, thanks guys. Really great night. (Leaning to hug both of them.)

Jenny: Phenomenal! Just perfect. And I want to let you guys know, I don’t care-

Bette: Jenny, we weren’t doing anything. (Handing her coat to her.)

     After they had all left, Tina turned to Bette with loving eyes.

Tina: You are so cute when you’re in the mood. (Holding Bette’s face in her hands.)

Bette: I hate this. (Holding Tina’s wrists in hers.)

Tina: Can you believe it’s only been five days? (Even shocking herself as she said it.)

Bette: Don’t remind me. (Feeling grumpy.)

Tina: Well, how about we both jump into bed and make it all better?

Bette: What? (Looking excited.)

Tina: I’m kidding. (Looking to Bette in amazement.) You are so easy to tease.

     Tina walked into the hall as Bette wondered how Tina was really handling this. She mindlessly followed her into the bedroom, neglecting to clean the dishes. She watched Tina get undressed, as the door was opened about an inch. She took it in running her own hand against her skin.
