How do you know, huh?  How do you know that she wont think I seduced her?  Shanes lips quivered and her husky voice cracked.

Gabby has a reputation and a history of pulling these stunts, hon.  Alice will be hurt, but because of hernot you.

Please dont tell her.  I dont want to hurt her.  Shane begged.

Okay.  I wont, but you should.  Gabby is going to continue doing these things, and Alice would be more hurt if it comes out later.  She focused her attention on the watering emerald eyes before her. Her face showed a soft and reassuring look, but inside she felt her anger.  I could kill that Gabby for doing this to Alice and Shane.  Tina had never thought of her self as a very physical person, but Gabby seemed to bring out the fighter in her.

Heyare you macking on my wife?  Bette slurred out the window.  Shane I may be drunk, but I could still kick your *****!  She grinned, her head rolling side to side with her necks inability to keep it up. 

Shane groaned and Tina laughed at Bettes timing.  Shes kidding Shanestop taking things so hard.  Now get up and get in the car, you are staying at our house tonight.  She shook her head at Shanes protest.  No arguing!  We have a spare bedroom and Im sure you could use a night off Alices couch. 

Look, Tina I really do have to go to work later on tonight and I want some time to think about what I should do.  She backed away from the blonde.  Ill be fineIm gonna catch the bus and Ill call you tomorrow.  Besides you have enough to deal with.  She thrust her thumb toward the bobbing head of Bette, before making her way toward the bus stop.

Okaybut call me Shane.  Im serious, if you dont Ill send Bette after you tomorrow!  Tina watched the young woman wave back at her while crossing the street to catch the now stopped bus.  She groaned and got in the drivers side of the car, determined to get her wife home before she completely passed out.

Slumping in a seat at the back of the bus, Shane groaned. She hated lying to Tina, but she needed sometime to work things out.  More than likely Alice took Gabby back to her place and Shane was not prepared to deal with Gabby yet.  Maybe I should just tell herget it over with.  Alice would understand, its not like I knew it was GabbyI should just tell her something like this will never stay a secretthe longer I wait the more it is going to hurt her.  ***** I hate getting involved!
