She was really looking forward to organising this show and she had no doubt it would prove successful, after all she was Bette Porter, her reputation preceded her!
On this Friday morning, James her assistant was already sitting at his desk, organising the day ahead.
"Morning James," Bette said as she strode confidently in the gallery " how are things shaping up so far? Have the contractors showed up yet?"
"Morning boss!" James said looking up from his computer, "everything is under control! I left your messages on your desk."
Bette entered what she considered to be her inner sanctum. Everything in her office reflected her, confident, sophisticated and cultured. She sat in her expensive leather chair and lifted the little pink notes that James had left for her. Alice had called. She wondered what her best friend wanted. She had been neglecting her friends lately, she did not feel very social, plus she had been working really hard.
She lifted her phone and dialled the familiar number.
"Yellow!" came the voice on the other end of the phone.
"Morning Alice" Bette started "got your message to ring you! What’s up?"
"Porter!" Alice exclaimed "you’re alive! How nice to hear from you…. it’s really you right…not some automated message?"
"Alice" Bette interrupted "quit the sarcasm, I know I haven’t been around lately, but I am really busy, so tell me how I can be of help because I’ve got a job to get back to!"
"Yeah, well we miss ya!" Alice continued " so I am here to lay on the guilt and ask you to join me and the gang tonight at the Planet. Everyone is asking about you and you need to get back out there…you know….since…what’s her face dumped you!"
"Alice…..what’s her face did not dump me! I was too busy ..and she was…..well……you know….not in sync with my schedule….so we called it quits…" Bette managed as a semblance of a reply.
"Ok, whatever! …….your friends miss you…so say you’ll come out with us tonight…just for a little bit!" Alice encouraged.
Bette knew all too well that to get Alice of her back was to accept her invitation. She told her she’d see her and the gang that night at 10 at the Planet. Alice squealed in delight which caused Bette to quickly remove the handset from her ear for fear of loosing some of her hearing.
Meanwhile back at the centre, Dana and Tina had met up for a quick break during their working day.
"So?" Dana said "Are we still on for tonight? Your first day back out on the dating scene?"
"Dane, quit pretending! We are going out to a gay bar..so this dating scene is hardly up my alley! But I am happy to do it for you! You have been such an amazing friend that I can hardly refuse giving you a bit of support!" Tina replied. "Plus, I fancy a drink and maybe a bit of dancing!"
Dana was now blushing. "oh…well..you know….there might be fellows there too! ….. I promise, I will not leave you stranded!"
"Ooooooooh……you’re blushing!" Tina teased her best friend.
"H…how do you know?" Dana asked surprised
"I can hear it in your voice!" Tina said exiting the room to go back to her classroom.
