“She might have done the table assignments before, and forgot to change them?” Candace said, putting her hand on Bette’s arm.

“Well, she should have changed them.” Bette said in a low growl.

“We can go if you want?” Candace offered, not really willing to tango
with Tina, or Shane for that matter, she could handle the others. Those
two seemed to be the ones that you didn’t want to dance with in a
fight.

“No, I’m Dana’s friend just as much as she is. I can stand to be next
to her if you are here.” Bette said sexily, leaning over and kissing
Candace, just as Tina cleared her throat from behind them. Tina walked
to the other side of the table, her eyes alive with anger.

“I see we are in for a fun night. Sit.” Tina ordered Shane and Shane
sat, making Bette squint in confusion. Shane fixed the chair, not
slumping but sitting up straight, Candace nudged Bette who shrugged at
the events unfolding.

“You ordering Shane around now? Hi Shane.” Bette said and Shane nodded
a hello, and Tina leaned over, whispering into Shane’s ear and Shane
nodded, relaxing a bit. Her whole body was on edge, and her eyes,
they’d changed since Bette had seen her last.

“Bette, Candace.” Shane said,

“Do you want a drink?” Shane asked Tina and Tina shook her head no,
seeing Alice, Kit, Ivan, Jenny and Marina making their way over. Oh
joy, this was going to be fun.

“No.” Tina answered curtly and Alice sat down, as did the rest of the
gang, all unsure of what to say or to do with both Bette and Tina
sitting at the same table.

“Ok, we are all adults here. No need for the elephant in the center of
the room, I can sit here with her and her cheating ***** if she can
handle me being here.” Tina said blatantly and Kit’s jaw dropped, Alice
put her hand to her mouth and Candace stood up,

“You want to say that to my face?” Candace offered and Bette tugged her arm, making her sit down.

“I just did. Be a good lil ***** and sit down, your mistress is
calling.” Tina shot back, seeing Bette’s cheeks a bright red and
Candace’s fists were clenched at her sides.
