I walked into the Planet with Alice, who was still giddy as
what had transpired earlier on that day. She was constantly reminding me of how
close Tina and I were to kissing.

 
“Alplease, I’m begging you, stop going on about it? I still
don’t know how Tina feels about me, exactly.”

 Alice was practically bouncing up and down.

 
“Oh will you shut up? You know exactly how she feels about
you, she loves you and even better yet,” she grinned, “my plan totally worked!
I’m a genius!”

I looked around the whole of the Planet, Alice had really
transformed it (imagine Dana/ Tonya’s layout for bachelorette party), I turned
to her,

“God Al this place is full of strippers.”

She grinned, “Well, yours truly did organise it, didn’t she?
Besides, there’s not as many as I’d hoped for, it was hard to find some girls
in LA that Shane hasn’t already slept with.”

I laughed, “Yeah I can imagine.”

I scanned the room, looking for Tina.

Alice watched me and smiled, “Tina’s not here yet. She
called earlier and said that she’d be a little late, apparently Hannah had to
pick something up before coming here.”

I sighed, disappointed.

“C’mon, lets go and get some drinks.”

We sat and joined Dana and Kit, who were timidly watching
people receive lapdances from the strippers who were, lets say, giving their
customers their money’s worth.

I laughed at Dana and Kit’s horrified faces as I sat down,

“Not getting a lapdance Kit?” I joked.

Kit peered timidly at the nearest dancer, “UmI think I’ll
sit this one out.”

Alice then arrived with a tray of drinks.

“Where’s Shane and Carmen?” she asked.

“There busy with lapdancing people and other people. I think
Shane’s getting introduced to all of Carmen’s friends.” Dana said, “I doubt
we’ll see much of her until after she’s been roped away from them all.”

Alice frowned, “Fair enough.”

We entertained ourselves by filling Kit in on the day’s
earlier events, all about the plan. It got me thinking about TinaWas Tina
thinking of me? Where was she? Shouldn’t she be here by now?

No sooner had I thought that than Tina walked through the
door, arm in arm with Hannah.

Not knowing exactly what to do, Tina drifted over to the
bar, but was dragged to our table by Hannah in a tight grip.

Hannah smiled brightly, “Hi girls. We’re here!”

Alice, who was on her fifth drink of the night already,
answered dryly, “Oh, really?”

Hannah brought chairs over for herself and Tina,

“Here you go sweetie.” She said, kissing Tina on the cheek
while glancing at me.

Oh, so that’s how it was going to be? She was flaunting her
in front of me, and I knew it. I knew that she knew that I knew it. This was
going to be interesting.
