Shane placed a hand on Bettes arm, Look, Im not gonna say what you did is excusable, because it isnt, but I am not in any position to judge. ***** I just got out of a relationship with a married woman.

I honestly cant figure out why I did it, Bette said more to herself than Shane. I love her. I truly do.

I dont doubt it, Shane smiled affectionately. Do you still want her?

Yes of course! Bette asked, slightly shocked. But, shell never take me back. God, who can blame her?

Well with an attitude like that, Shane joked. Seriously though, dont give up on her. You do that and she is going to think that you dont love her. Give her space, but dont disappear.

Bette grinned at her younger friend, How in the world did you get to be so smart.

Im Yoda, Shane laughed while pointing for Bette to pull over. I think this is the place.

Just out of curiosity, where the ***** are we? Bette glanced at the house hesitantly.

This waitress at The Planet told me this is were Marissas ex is staying, Shane explained walking up the steps. Youd be amazed what you can find out from them.

Ill have to remember that, Bette mumbled following Shane. So do you even know this girl?

Slept with her a year ago, Shane off handedly commented.

Oh thats good, Bette sarcastically replied watching Shane push the doorbell.

Shane grinned at Bette and stepped away from the door waiting for someone to answer. They heard someone yell they were coming and a cluttering sound before the door swung open revealing a disheveled blonde.

Shane? Alex straightened, extremely confused. What are you doing here?

Shane pointed slightly to Bette, This is my friend Bette Porter. Um is it okay if I talk to you for a second?

Yeah sure, Alex stepped aside letting them in. Its been what, a year? How are you?

Bout the same, you? Shane glanced around the barren house. Just move in?

Yeah, here sit, Alex motioned to the couch. Can I get you something to drink? Ive got water and yeah water.
