Alice stared off into the space between Shane and Bette as she recalled her lunch with the brunette in question and couldn’t help but chuckle at Dana’s attempts to glare at Alice for the blonde’s observation that for a professional athlete Dana was rather clumsy.  This comment followed Dana’s attempt to catch the fork she had knocked towards the floor.  When Dana leaned over to try to grab the fork before it could land the athlete had tipped her chair over and, with a shriek, the chair and Dana had fallen on their sides in the middle of the restaurant.

As the mentally shook the images of flailing arms and legs, Alice looked around to find five sets of faces smirking at her.  After a moment she realized what was going on and leapt to her own defense.

“I’m not interested!  In the beginning I may have thought she was attractive.  Okay, maybe I thought she was gorgeous.  Fine!  I thought she was smoking hot and wanted to jump her tan yumminess.  But it’s not like that anymore.  She’s not my type and I’m not her type.  But I definitely think we’re on the path towards becoming friends, which will definitely come in handy when I start following her around to document her rehabilitation progress.”

“Whatever you say Alice.  But I’m willing to bet something happens between the two of you before you finish your book.”  Bette couldn’t help but say provokingly.

“Are you trying to start another bet with me Porter?  Did you happen to forget how our last one played out?”  Alice asked with a smug grin.

“Hey, the woman was obviously more interested in me.  It just so happens that I no longer have any interest in any other woman.”  Bette said as she turned to smile into Tina’s eyes and lean in for a kiss only to be denied as Tina turned her head to the side.

“Excuse me?  Am I to understand that you and Alice have been going out and competing to see which of you can pick up the most women?”  Tina asked Bette with a raised eyebrow.

Alice, Carmen, Shane, and Jenny exchanged glances before settling in to enjoy the show.  It was always amusing to watch Tina torment Bette, especially considering the reputation Bette had before meeting Tina as a player.  However, the player had fallen hard and fast for Tina Kennard and now, five years later, the two were the picture portrait for lesbian couples.
