”Yes” She replied totally unperturbed.

”It blocks my way”

Bette looked past Mr. Kennard and noticed his Mercedes waiting to be put in place. ”Oh, no problem, I’ll remove it” She told him and went over to her car, satisfied that their conversation hadn’t lasted any longer.

Retrieving her car on the street road, Bette waited for Karen and Tina to finish with their father. Karen did it first, jumping trippingly into the front passenger seat.

”Fancy car” Karen nodded appreciatively. ”You can be proud of yourself”

”Thank you for such a generous resolution, princess Karen” Bette jested.

”Pack it up” The teenager brushed off. ”Hey, don’t pay attention to my father, by the way. He’s just tired. I mean, he has to work on Sunday. That’s tough”

”I actually don’t” Bette shrugged and looked up, when Tina got into the back seat, shoting her sister some dead looks.

After Tina gave Bette the coordinates of both Alice and Dana, Bette called Helena and Shane to meet them at the beach. She also approved Karen’s choice of music, which was blasting through the speakers during their whole ride.

Now, laying on a cover at the beach with her eyes closed and arms crossed behind her head, Bette was enjoying peace and quiet, as Tina and Co. went to moisten their feet in the ocean. Suddenly something cold and a little heavy fell on her stomach, making her jerk and shot her eyes open.

”Don’t be scared, be prepared, Porter” Helena teased, teaming up with Shane and laughing at the annoyed brunette.

”Go fuck yourselves, assholes” Bette muttered, sitting up slowly. ”But thanks for cold beer” She added, opening the fallen can.

”So..” Shane began, as both she and Helena sat down next to Bette. ”Where’s your blondie chick?”

”I hope there she is..” Helena pointed to some woman with bleak blonde hair, who was wearing very tight tank top and shorts that barely covered her buttocks. ”…so that we could share her” Helena finished, causing Shane to snort.

”Eww, she’s ugly” Bette said, making a face. ”With a fine ass though. Anyway, that’s not my girl, so you can keep that woman all for yourself”

”Where is yours then?”

Right then Tina approached the trio, her friends and sister following her. Bette rose from her seat gleefully.
