The last call Bette made was to Tina…..

Tina groggily answered her phone: “hello?”

Bette: “ Hey Tina, it’s Bette”

Tina sat up in bed, her head thudding from too many cocktails: “Hey Bette…. Shit my head”

Bette laughed: “ hard night was it?”

Tina chuckled: “you could say that, so how are you?”

Bette said coyly: “ missing you…”

Tina’s heart started to pound deep with in her chest: “I’ve missed you too Bette”

There was a slight silence as both were lost with their feelings….

Bette broke the silence…: “right, if you and your budds are fit for another night out, I have one planned”

Tina smiled: “sure, what have you got in mind?”

Bette told Tina what she had planned…. Drinks at the Planet, then move on to a club.

Bette: “what do you think?”

Tina stifled a yawn: “ yeah babe that sounds great, more drink!”

Bette: “ anyway babes, I’d better get on, and let you go… so I’ll meet you at the planet at 8?”

Tina: “ yeah sure, that sounds great. I can’t wait to see you”

Bette: “bye sweetie”

Tina hung up the phone, and swung her legs out of the bed.. When she stood, her head began to thud, and felt like it was going to split. Walking cautiously into the living room, she found Fred and Loo exactly where she had left them the previous night.

Fred was hanging off the sofa, in a position that her body was surely not going to forgive, and Loo was curled up in an arm chair, blanket tucked right up to her chin…

Tina climbed onto the end of the sofa that Fred occupied, and slid under the end of the covers…

Moments passed with neither stirring, and bored with her own company, Tina decided to be a devil. She started to hum quiet loudly, and poke at Fred’s feet with her’s.

Fred stirred but didn’t wake….

Loo mumbled: “Tina if you don’t shut up I’m going to punch you..”

Tina smiled, and begun to hum louder, continuously poking Fred’s feet…

Tina felt rather than saw the cushion that flew at her from the arm chair. She yelped as it hit her full on the side of the head..
