            Tina was out at the Planet and was sitting at the bar. She twirled her straw around in her glass and took a drink. Kit walked by and touched her shoulder.

Hows it going? Tina nodded.

Everythings great. Thanks for asking. Tina took another drink of her cosmopolitan. How are you?

Im doing good, trying to keep the place hopping.

Youre doing a great job Kit. Kit gave Tina a hug

Even though, things arent working out. I still love you girl. Tina smiled.

Thanks Kit.

I better get back to work. She patted Tina on her shoulder again and walked away. A woman sat next to Tina at the bar and pushed her hair back. Tina looked at the woman and knew she looked familiar.

Candace? The woman looked at Tina. Youre Candace right?

She nodded. Yes, she continued to size Tina up. Do I know you?

I dont know if you know me, but you know my ex Bette. Candace stared at Tina and started to get up from her seat. Tina grabbed her hand. Its fine, Im not here to fight. I want to talk thats all. Candace sighed and took a seat. You look really great.

Thank you, so what happened with you and Bette? Tina finished off her Cosmo and licked her lips.

We decided it wasnt going to work out, so we went our separate ways. Shes now sleeping with Helena Peabody. Candace raised her eyebrow and nodded.

I guess we can say Bette did well for herself. Tina nodded. Can I buy you a drink?

Sure, why not? Candace smiled and whistled for the bartender.

            Bette was putting Destiny down to bed as Helena stood back and watched. Bette kissed Destiny on her forehead and walked away from her bed. They walked out of the room, and Bette closed the door. Bette grabbed a hold of Helenas hand as they walked to the living room. Helena swung her purse in her hand and sighed. Bette wrapped her arm around her waist.

I dont want you to leave, I want you to stay.
