“Yeah she’s gorgeous”

“So do you really think she would have any trouble finding someone to go with her to that dinner?” Alice asked raising an eyebrow at the blonde.

“No I guess not” Tina sighed “You know if I would have known about all of this I would have never said yes”

They stayed quiet for a minute.

“You know Porter looked pretty bad this morning” Alice said.

“She did?” Tina asked looking at Alice.

“Yeah her eyes were all red and she looked like she hadn’t slept at all”

Tina sighed and looked down at her hands “You know she said some pretty mean things about my job”

“I know”

“She was right you know” Tina said.

“About what?”

“It’s a shitty job…I could be so much more”

“So why don’t you just quit?”

“I never planned on doing this when I moved here…but I couldn’t find a job and my money ran out pretty fast so then I figured I would just do it once but it was so easy” Tina started.

“You go out on a date and you get a lot of money…eventually I didn’t even need to work every week I could just do it when I felt like it and…I just kept doing it out of comfort because it was so easy”

“So what do you really want to do?” Alice asked.

“I’ve always wanted to work in the movie business” Tina smiled.

“You mean as an actress?”

“No like a studio executive or something like that”

“So just go for it”

“I don’t know…” Tina said slowly.

“Seriously Tina just go for it” Alice encouraged her.

“It’s scary…” Tina sighed “To just start over like that”

“Yes but it will be worth it…you only live once”

“You’re right” Tina smiled.

“So what are you doing today?” Alice asked.

“Um nothing…?”

“You are getting dressed and then you’re coming with me to the Planet”

“Sounds good” Tina smiled.

They were hanging out at the Planet, Tina’s eyes drifting towards the door every time someone would enter.

“Waiting for someone?” Alice smirked.

“Urgh I’m so mad at her but I still miss her” Tina groaned putting her head in her hands.

“Well you don’t have to miss her much longer” Alice smirked as she saw the brunette make her way inside.

“What!?” Tina exclaimed raising her head.

She followed Alice line of sight and saw Bette make her way towards the counter.

Bette scanned the café as she made her way to the counter and as she locked eyes with Tina she stopped dead in her tracks.

She made her way over to the table where Alice and Tina were seated.

“Hey” she said quietly giving the blonde a small smile.

“Hi” Tina said looking into Bette’s eyes before looking down at the table.

Bette sighed “can we talk?”

“I guess”

“Do you want to go somewhere more private?” Bette asked.

“Um yeah ok” Tina said as she got up and grabbed her bag.

“I’ll see you later Alice” she smiled.

“Ok” Alice smiled back.

She walked past Bette towards the door without looking at her and Bette made her way after.

“Where do you want to go?” Tina asked as they got outside.

“My house?”

“Sure I’ll see you there” Tina said before walking towards her car.

Bette sighed as she watched the blonde walk away before turning and walking towards her own car.
