“*****!” Another female chef looked over at Lara. She walked over to her with a towel.

“Are you alright?”

“Yeah, I cut my finger.” Lara brought her hand to her mouth, but the chef grabbed it and wrapped it with the towel. “Thank you.”

“No problem. Just be careful next time.” She winked at Lara and walked back over to her station.

“Hey Perkins! Where’s that order?!” Lara looked at Richard.

“It’s coming Richie! It’s coming!” Lara went to clean her hand and went back to work. She kept catching herself staring at the chef that helped her. She finishes the dish and handed it to Richard. She wiped the sweat for her forehead and walked out of the kitchen. It was her last dish of the night, and she finally heading home. She wanted to get home to Dana.

“Hey Lara, wait!” Lara turned around and saw the female chef from earlier.

“Hey.”

“Hi, I’m Eva.” Lara smiled and shook her hand. ” I didn’t have time to introduce myself since it was hectic in there.”

“It’s nice to meet you.”

“Well, since we’re both off of work, and the night is still young. Would you like to have a drink with me?” Lara started to hesitate.

“UmmI don’t know if I should. I really need to get home to my girlfriend.” Eva ran her fingers through her silky maroon hair.

“It’s just an innocent little drink. I would really like the company.” She flashed her smile at Lara, and Lara shifted her feet.

“Sure, why not?”

“It’s a bar down the street, if you don’t mind walking.”

“Oh no, I don’t mind at all.” Eva smiled, and the two ladies started to walk down the street.

            Bette walked into the bedroom and saw Tina laying on her side. She walked over to the bed and sat down. She put her hand on Tina’s shoulder, but Tina moved away. Bette sighed and ran her fingers through her hair.

“T, I’m so-I’m sorryI just became really upset about what happened last night. I never meant to take it out on you today. Helena completely ruined my night, and I wasn’t going to let her get away with it. I really wish you can forgive me for the way I’ve been acting. I’m sorry.” Tina sat up and looked at Bette.
