Would you ladies like a drink? The waiter asked.

Ill have a Chardonnay. Helena said.

Ill have Napa Merlot. The waiter walked away. Helena flung her hair back and put her arms on the table.

So hows Tina? Bette put a smile on her face.

Shes doing just fine, shes on vacation in Key West.

That sounds fascinating. Bette rolled her eyes. So why didnt you go?

I have a gallery to take care of now. The waiter came back with their drinks and said thank you. Helena took a drink of her wine and held the glass in her hand.

How is that going now for you?

Its amazing, I can control anything and everything. I dont pull the plug on people when they work so hard on beautiful art. Bette took a drink of her merlot.

Bette, that was three months ago. I thought you could get that behind us. Bette gritted her teeth and wanted to smack the ***** out of Helena. She was tired of the small talk.

What did you really bring me here Peabody? Helena sat straight up in her chair and folded her hands.

Well, you probably heard of the beautiful artist Rose Devine correct? Bette leaned against the table.

Yes I have.

Well shes coming into town and needs to find a gallery to support her paintings and other works. So how about we have a lil wager. Bette thought her mind, not to do it. But then, what the *****?

Im listening. Bette took a drink of her wine.

The first one to grab Miss Devine and support her, wins. Whoever the loser is, has to pay $500 dollars. Bette thought about it and put out her hand.

Deal. Helena shook Bettes hand.

Let the game begin.

            The girls finished dinner and headed over to Aqua Night Club. Tina deciding to head back to the house and rest. Alice and Jordana headed to the dance floor, Shane walked over to the bar, Lara and Dana walked over to a booth, Carmen walked over to the dj area, and Jenny and Marina walked to a corner. Shane sat at the bar and asked for a Corona. The guy threw her a beer and walked away. She took a swig and sat the bottle. She looked around and saw a lot of potential walking around. She looked up by the dj booth and saw Carmen talking to the dj. She was smiling and laughing, something Shane hasnt seen for a long time. The dj moved away from the tables and let Carmen go for it. Shane smiled faintly and turned back around. She took another drink of her beer and laid her head on the bar. Someone bumped into Shane, and she raised up. The strawberry blonde looked at her with big, blue eyes.
