“That was almost a year ago—you still don’t hold a grudge still Franklin.”

“Of course not, I just didn’t agree with him, and he had to do what he had to do.” Bette buried her head into the pillow. “I really don’t want to talk about Franklin. How do we always fall off the actual conversation that we were having?’ She smiled.

“I don’t know—let’s get back to our conversation.” Tina propped herself up. “All right—we did we learn so far.” She looked at Bette.

“I don’t need to be so much of an Alpha Queen.”

“And I shouldn’t shut you out.” Tina rubbed her chin. “What else do we need to work on?”

“Well—I want to have Angelica more than just two days. I want to see her more than that.”

“Is there anything else Miss Porter?” Tina smiled.

“No—I can’t think of anything.” She sat up, and she wrapped the sheet around her body. She moaned softly. “I’m so tired. I need a few hours of sleep.”

“You can’t sleep until tonight.”

“Why?” She looked at Tina.

“Because we have to start planning Angelica’s party.”

“Does it have to be today?” Bette whined, and Tina smiled.

“Yes, if we prolong it, we won’t get anything done.” She squeezed Bette’s thigh, and Bette squealed.

“Knock knock,” Alice walked into the house. “Are you ladies still going at it?”

“We’re in the bedroom Al,” Alice walked towards the bedroom with Angelica in her seat. She smiled softly as she saw her two friends in the bed naked.

“That’s what I like to see.” She sat the bag and the seat down. She put her hands on her waist. “Don’t you two look alive and rejuvenated.” They both smiled, and Tina crossed her arms.

“How was she?” Alice bent down and unbuckled Angelica out of her seat.

“She fell asleep on the way over here. She had one busy night.” She took a seat on the bed. “Shane and Jenny came over to the apartment for awhile, so they helped me out. She was trying to get into everything. We were chasing her throughout the freakin’ apartment.” She looked down and smiled at her niece. “She’s so much fun though. I don’t know what we would do without her.”
