“Wow that’s really awesome. So does your girlfriend travel with you?”

“Girlfriend?”

“Yeah the one that was with you that night at Kristina’s”

“Oh no, she’s just a really good friend. We were never together, our families knew each other since we were kids so yeah, she’s just a friend. I actually haven’t seen or talked to her since that night.”

“Wow, that must be really hard for you.”

“Well what can I do?” She desperately wanted to change the subject and she really didn’t want to be there anymore. “So do you want to get out here?”

“I’d love to.”

Bette wrapped her left arm around her waist and they walked out.

“Alice this place is perfect, I can’t believe you found this place.”

“Well we both wanted to move back to L.A. so I had to find something that would catch your eye.”

“I can’t believe it, just look at it. I can already picture what I am going to do to this place. Thank you so much.”

She gives Alice a hug and a kiss on the cheek. She was kind of surprised because Bette never really showed so much emotion.

“Well I guess I better find something better if I’m going to continue getting that from you.”

“Ha ha, very funny.”

“No, but seriously, do you really like it?”

“Alice I absolutely love it. The Bette Porter Gallery will be started in no time” She wrapped her left arm around her shoulders.

“Well what are friends for. Did you decide on getting a house or something else?”

“I’m going over to see my father’s realtor later. I might just get a condo instead. I think a house is a little much right now.”

“Yeah, houses can be really over rated right now.”

“So what about you did you decide yet?”

“Yes I did. I decided to stay in that apartment we saw the other day. I like it, it’s really nice and cozy”

“Good, so you up for some lunch?”

“I thought you would never ask.”
