Tina (looking at her notes then at Helena’s notes): Honey go on up to bed, it’s going to be a while.

Bette (yawning): Don’t take to long. I might get lonely (leaning down and kissing her) and do something drastic…

Tina (evilly): As long as I can watch (returning the kiss.)

Bette (teasing): I’d rather you participate (leaning over and kissing Helena on the cheek) behave…

Helena (wide eyed): Hold on (covering her phone) tell her that. She’s the instigator….

Bette (laughing): Right. Good night Lena…

Helena (swatting her on the ass): After I torture Tina I’ll send her up so you can finish…

Bette (smiling): Now that’s tempting, especially if it’s you (dodging another slap.)

Tina (giggling): Hold that thought…

Helena (shaking her head): Sweetheart (listening) well um uh that is well yeah. (Licking her lips) now that’s tempting…

Tina (throwing her hands up): And they tell me I’m bad….

Shane and Carmen’s House
Shane (pacing): I just (throwing her hands up in frustration) baby I’m not mad at you however this was something I needed to think about.

Carmen (standing up): Shane I want you to be happy. If this is something that will that was my only intention. (Pulling her into her arms) we’ll sleep on it and talk about it in the morning.

Shane (hugging her tightly): I love you…

Carmen (leaning back): I love you too, always have (leaning forward and kissing her softly.) Let’s get some sleep (heading towards their bedroom.)

Kai and Lisa’s House
Kai (rolling over and grabbing the phone; looking at the clock she noticed it was after two): Hello (sitting up) where? (Listening) can’t this wait until morning, come on it’s only after two and I just got to bed, alright I’ll be there in less than an hour and you owe me big time. (Hanging up the phone she stumbled in the bathroom) she’s toast. (Turning on the shower and waiting for the water to warm) you are so in for it when I get my hands on you.

Kit’s Apartment
Papi (adjusting her shirt’ yawning and cursing these early mornings): Let’s see fire her or just kick her ass….

Kit (stumbling in the bathroom): Kick her ass, pulling my baby out of bed before oh dark hundred.

Papi (smiling): I like the way you think (pulling her into her arms.) Come on I’ll tuck you in (waiting until Kit was done then helped her back to bed.) I’ll stop in for lunch…

Kit (pulling her down on top of her): You want something special (smiling into the kiss.)

Papi (wishing she could just crawl back in bed with this women): You (groaning) Kit…

Kit (giggling): Mmm (sliding her tongue in her lover’s mouth) yes…

Papi (sitting up): Fuck this I need you (pulling her shirt off) I love you…

Kit (pulling her down and rolling them over): Love you too (yanking her own shirt off and palming Papi’s breasts.)

Papi (thrusting her hips upwards): You feel so good baby (sliding her hand between them) is that all for me (Kit’s sweet essence coating her fingers; her clit already hard and throbbing.)

Kit (grabbing her wrist): Fuck (her head falling forward; her breath hitching; it had never felt like this with anyone.)

Papi (tightening her hold): Let go baby I’ll catch you (sliding two fingers inside her.) Yeah that’s it (grinding against Kit’s thigh.) Fuck, just like that…

Kit (grabbing her wrist; thrusting her hips up): You’re going to kill me…

Tina and Bette’s House
Helena (hanging the phone up): She’ll email me some notes first thing. She has faith in your abilities and thinks its a great idea.

Tina (yawning): Mmm yeah, okay…

Helena (hugging her): Come on off to bed with you (shutting the computers down. Wrapping her arm around her shoulders) go on get upstairs and get to bed.

Tina (trying not to yawn) Gods I am so sorry, I got you all worked up and…

Helena (smirking): Don’t worry, you’re falling asleep on your feet (kissing her softly) you need to be in top form tomorrow, Ms. Director.

Tina (rubbing her face): You want to sleep with us or…

Helena (caressing her face with the back of her hand): As tempting as that is, none of us will get any sleep if that’s the case. Besides (kissing her softly) we have a very long couple of days…

Tina (smirking): Oooh I remember a lot of those and the things oh (feigning hurt) I see how it is (pausing) dropping me relatively quickly don’t you think…

Helena (growling): Baby get on up to bed we can finish this first thing in the morning (placing a gentle kiss on her lips) besides I know Bette’s waiting for you…

Tina (smiling): Good night (heading up the stairs.)

Helena (leaning against the railing): You are in no shape for what I’m feeling right now (walking into the den and turning on the light.)

Shane and Carmen’s House
Shane (sitting up; looking at the clock she noticed it was after three and she couldn’t sleep, pulling the covers over Carmen she walked into the living room and turned on the TV. Leaning back on the couch she thought about law school, her career choices, Carmen’s career choices and what she wanted in life. Funny, no one asked her before and it had never mattered.

Peggy’s Townhouse New York
Dylan (reviewing the notes Helena had sent her): This will work and yeah she needs to get Liz and Sam down there and not out on review.

Peggy (walking in): Did you say something dear?

Dylan (shifting so Peggy could sit on the couch): No. Just reviewing some things Helena sent me for production tomorrow.

Peggy (curiously): Tina’s directing a scene isn’t she…

Dylan (typing in something): Yeah one of the bigger ones. It’s going to save us time and money towards the end. I want to make sure that the right people are in place to make things easier for both of them. (Looking at Peggy) because you’re daughter will be maiming and threatening if someone doesn’t co-operate.

Peggy (laughing): I can see that. Both of them are as protective as the other.

Tina and Bette’s House
Tina (towel drying her hair): What’s your schedule for tomorrow…

Bette (looking up from the book she was reading): Um uh (nearly swallowing her tongue at the vision in front of her; the bathroom light illuminated Tina’s body; the light silk robe leaving nothing to her imagination) um…

Tina (setting the towel down): Oops sorry (walking over and taking the book out of her hands.) We have a very long day and oh hi…

Bette (reaching up): Come here (puling Tina into bed and into her lap; groaning as Tina’s heat touched hers.) Gods (pulling the silk robe off her shoulders) so beautiful (sliding her hands down and caressing her breasts. Seeing the distraction in her lover’s eyes she pulled back, worried) what’s wrong?

Tina (softly): I want you so much it’s um (cupping Bette’s face in her hands) can we just…

Bette (softly): Sure are you (wrapping her arms around her; trying to calm her raging hormones.) Baby….

Tina (leaning forward): I don’t mean to, it’s just, well you and…

Bette (softly; reassuring): Tina it’s okay. There’s a lot going on. (Caressing the top of her head) I’m here if whatever is you need to talk through…

Tina (picking her head up): Does it well with Helena and I and…

Bette (understanding): Tina I told you, repeatedly, you and Helena share something I don’t understand (pressing a finger to her lips.) Something different but you need one another. For whatever reason. (Tracing her bottom lip with her thumb) I could tell you to stop, be totally committed to us, and stay away from her intimately, however it would kill you and her. I won’t do that, not after everything we’ve been through….

Tina (taking a deep breath): Are you, is it…

Bette (questioning): What?

Tina (leaning back): Do you do it out of guilt (pausing, watching Bette’s face) or is it something else? Are you pushing to make me happy so I won’t leave you. So we don’t get complacent or bored or is it…
