Intercept(ed) [Valentine’s Day Challenge]
“Hi, Dana,” Bette said. “Enjoying your night?”
“Oh, Bette, hey,” Dana said, smiling. She held up a finger. “Excuse me just one minute, let me finish this…” she added, making a show of hitting a few buttons before closing her phone. Bette gave Tina a half-lidded look, and Tina hid a smile behind her hand.
“Hello,” Dana said, turning her sparkle in Tina’s direction. She held out a hand. “I’m Dana Fairbanks.”
“Tina Kennard, nice to meet you. I’m a fan of yours.”
Dana’s smile got even bigger. “You are? I’m flattered.”
“That last match you played against Venus Williams was killer. She wasn’t ready for you at all.”
Dana waved a hand. “Oh, well, I like to keep them guessing. It’s better if they underestimate you.”
“Well I don’t think Venus, or her sister for that matter, are going to make that mistake again,” Tina said with assurance. And just like that, Bette could see that Tina had won Dana over.
Dana didn’t have much time to bask in Tina’s compliment for long, though, because Shane appeared and collapsed in a chair.
“Hey,” she said, by way of a general greeting. She took a long swig of beer.
“Shane, why are you so out of breath?” Dana asked, raising an eyebrow. “I didn’t see you out on the floor. Were you dancing?”
“Not quite.” Shane smiled her crooked smile at Tina and gave her a once over. “I haven’t seen you before.”
“She’s here with Bette,” Dana said, giving Shane a look.
“Oh yeah?” Shane looked at Bette for confirmation and Bette nodded. “Cool.”
“Shane’s a hairdresser,” Dana explained to Tina. “She can do awesome things to your hair.”
“That’s right,” Shane said, fishing a slightly bent business card out of her pocket and reaching over to slide it towards Tina.
“Call for an appointment if you want,” Shane said, looking at Tina from under her fringe. “You won’t even recognize yourself when I’m done.”
Bette broke up the moment before it went any further. “You had business cards made up, Shane? Really?”
“I just wanted to be sure that any of my… clients could get in touch with me as necessary. Seemed like a time saver. Plus if they call me at the salon, they’re not bothering me at home.”
