Christina got off the phone with Kit, her surrogate mother. She smiled and got up from the couch. She walked around and noticed a picture of Shane and another woman. Christina walked to Shane’s room and knocked on the door.

“It’s open.” Christina walked in and sat on the bed. “Hey.”

“Hey.” Shane sat up on her elbows. “So what’s up with you and Mark?” Christina smiled and pushed her hair behind her ear.

“I don’t know. I guess we have a thing for each other. I feel the same way that I felt for Ryan.” Shane smiled.

“I think you have a thing for a roommate.” Christina slightly pushed Shane back.

“Shut up.” Shane laughed. “Who was that in the picture out there in the living room?”

“Of who?”

“It’s you and someone else.” Shane smiled.

“That’s Jenny. This was her house before she moved.”

“What happened?”

“A long story, but she’s my best friend. Even though we had our rough time, we stuck together.” Christina nodded her head.

“So, what do you do for a living Shane?”

“I’m a hair stylist.”

“Sounds like fun.”

“If you say so.” Shane started to get up off her bed. “So when do you start at The Planet?”

“Tonight, I guess Kit needs help with bartending. So I guess I’ll start my first job as a bartender.” Christina had a smile on her face.

“Sounds good. I’ll have to come and check you out.” Christina stood up and walked towards the door.

“Can you drive me to The Planet? Kit was me there in a while.”

“Sure. Just tell me when you’re ready.”

“Alright. Thanks.” Christina walked out of Shane’s room and closed the door.

            Alice walked into The Planet, looking for Kit. She walked around and spotted her at a table. She walked over to her and stood by.

“Hey Kit.”

“Hey Al. What’s up girl?”

“UmmI was wondering if you could help me out on something.” Kit looked up and dropped her pen.

“Sure, what is it?”

“WellI need a place for a party, and I thought this would be the perfect spot for it.”
