“Don’t you think that’s going to be too much?”

“Tina—we both have great paying jobs. We can both afford to have this for Angelica’s birthday.”

“Yeah—you do have a point.” She took a seat next to Bette. “Do you have your outfit ready for disco night?”

“Yeah,” Bette nodded. “What about you?”

“I need to get a few more things, and I’ll be ready for tomorrow night.” Tina smiled. “Can I see what you’re wearing?”

“You’ll just have to wait for tomorrow night.” Bette smiled.

                The next morning, Tina was sitting at her desk looking over the script and sighed. There was a knock on the door, and she looked up.

“Come in,” the door opened, and Todd popped his head in.

“You wanted to see me.”

“Oh yeah,” Tina smiled. “Come on in Todd.” He walked into her office and closed the door. “I have some very good news for you.” she got up from her chair and walked around the front.

“Hopefully it has something to do with a new director for a big box office movie in the works.” Tina laughed softly and leaned against her desk. She crossed her arms and crossed her legs.

“I have a new director for our movie. She did the critically acclaimed Loving Annabelle.”

“Katherine Brooks? You have Katherine Brooks doing our movie.” Tina nodded. “How in the hell did you do it?”

“I guess I got it like that.”

“You didn’t stalk the woman did you?”

Tina scuffed. “No—a friend of mine owed me a favor.”

“Well tell that friend of yours thank you. She or he just saved your ass.” He winked and walked out of the office.

“Dick,” Tina walked back around her desk and took a seat. She sighed heavily and continued to read the script.

“Do you know how much I spent on that woman, and she decided that she wanted to take a break?” Shane grimaced as she, Bette and Alice sat at the Planet.

“Well nobody told you to go in your pocket and waste your money away.”

“Well didn’t you do the same with Tasha?” Bette asked.

“That’s completely different—she didn’t want to take a break. She just couldn’t take it because of bad memories.” Alice took a drink of her coffee.

“Paige has a lot going on for her right now—she has to take care of her son. She needs to do what’s right for her and her son.” Bette looked over at Shane.

“I want to settle down and have a home of my own. I’m getting too old of fucking around and wasting my life away.” Shane sighed.

“Don’t stress out so much about this. Everything’s going to be okay. Besides, we’re going to have fun at disco night tonight.” Bette smiled.

“I’m ready to boogie on down.” Shane smiled at Alice as she began to dance in her seat. “I knew I could get a smile out of you.”

“So how did that night go for you and Tina?” Shane looked at Bette and smirked. Bette smiled and sighed.

“What can I say? It was amazing—I-I couldn’t believe the feeling that I had. I can’t explain it—she wore me out.” She fanned herself off as Shane and Alice smiled at her. “I can’t wait for another night like that.” Her phone buzzed, and she grabbed it. She smiled softly when she noticed that it was a message from Tina.

What r u doing?

Bette smiled as she began to type away. “Must be Tina—,” Alice smiled, and Shane nodded.

I’m at the Planet with Shane and Alice. I can’t wait to see u tonight.  She pushed send and waited. Tina grabbed her phone and read the message. She smiled softly and began to type.

I can’t either. Can we talk before disco night?

Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything’s fine. I’ll ttyl

ttyl bye. Bette put her phone back in her pocket and continued to carry on a conversation with Shane and Alice.
