“Here you go ladies—don’t have too much fun.” Bette grabbed her glass, but Tina stopped.

“I want to do a toast.” She smiled. “I want to toast to our love, trust, friendship and so much more into our future. I love you.”

“I love you too. Cheers,” they tapped their glasses together and took a drink. Bette licked her lips and sat back in her chair.

                Three white Russians, four Cosmopolitans later and a few tequila shots later, Bette was cheering the dancers on top of her table with Shane, and Tina was dancing with Alice and Helena. Bette leaned against Shane and smiled drunkenly.

“Thank you so much for this night. I’m having a really great time right now.” Shane scratched the back of her head and smiled.

“I’m glad that you’re enjoying yourself Bette.” She grabbed Bette’s hand. “I’m happy that you and Tina decided to do this. I’m glad that I’m a part of this.”

“Awww—thanks Shaney.”  Bette gave her a kiss on the cheek, and Shane laughed softly.

“I think it’s time that you relax and stop drinking.” Bette went to reach for her fifth glass sitting on the table, and Shane grabbed it.

“Where’s my future wife?”

“She’s right there,” Shane pointed at Tina getting down on the dance floor with Alice and Helena.

”T I love you!” Tina waved as Alice held onto her waist.

“I love you too babe!”

“Don’t you think it’s time for these two to go home?” Helena looked at Alice.

“Yeah—I’m tired of holding onto her.” Alice huffed.

“Well let her go.”

“If I let her go, she’s going to fall flat on her face.” Alice looked over at Bette and Shane. “It’s time for them to go home. Can you go tell Shane?” Helena nodded and walked away. Tina turned around and wrapped her arms around Alice.

“Al—I’m having such a great time. I’m so happy that you’re here with me to celebrate my engagement. You’re such a great friend.” Alice smiled nodded.

“You’re a great friend too Tina. Are you ready to go home?”

“Yeah—I’m ready for bed.”

“Okay—well we’ll take you and Bette home so you can go to bed.” Shane and Helena were getting Bette on her feet, and Alice walked Tina over to them. “One of us will have to drive Bette’s car and follow the other to their house.”
