“Are you going to give that up?”  Shane asked and the table laughed, then Tina answered her question. 

“Yeah, I did.  A better job actually.”  Tina said Cass ran her fingers down her arm, making Tina swoon at the touch.  Cassandra leaned it, kissing her lips
quickly, Tina smiled into the kiss, and Daisy groaned. 

“Isn’t it enough that I gotta listen to the nightly ***** fest you gotta swap
spit in public?”  Daisy asked and the
table laughed hard, but Tina knew that Daisy didn’t really mind, she was just being
Daisy.  Bette walked up to the table, having heard the
last comment, clearing her throat. 

“Dana?” 
Bette said from behind Dana, and she stood up, hugging her and
congratulating her on her placing at the Australian open.  Dana smiled, and then pulled away almost uncomfortable,
knowing Tina was just behind her, a sheepish grin in
her face. 

“I’m going to go find Candace, we can’t stay long.” 
Bette announced, waving hello to the table and
Shane downed her drink, her jaw set and Tina saw how angry Shane was. 

“Sit down.”  Cassandra offered, waving to
the empty chairs and Tina almost spit out her drink, she turned and gave Cass a look that Daisy was sure would melt a cast iron
skillet.  Bette stepped back, she met the woman’s eyes,
the one who’d been sleeping with her wife while she was still a committed
woman, but then again, Candace had been doing the same thing.  She sighed, no use in comparing battle
wounds, they were the same and equally as painful. 

“No thanks.”  Bette said softly, Alice reaching for her hand and Bette took it, smiling quickly. 

“Yeah, no.”  Tina followed up with, her jaw set and Daisy
waited for the explosion to occur.  She
playfully put her fingers in her ears and Quin leaned over, covering her hands
with her own, making Daisy grin wildly. 

“You an adult?  You’ve moved on?  Prove it. 
You are making all of your friend uncomfortable, she’s still part of
your life, whether you like it or not.  I
can handle her sitting here, I can handle her girlfriend sitting here if she
can handle me holding your hand, and kissing you.”  Cassandra said making Tina‘s mouth pop open, her tongue wagging and
Bette‘s face held an expression of equal
surprise. 

“Boom.”  Quin whispered to Alice, as she removed her hands from Daisy’s
ears.  Alice slapped her hand to silence her.  Quin looked up, she saw Maddy, and she waved
to Quin, then winked and disappeared to one of the infamous upstairs rooms of
the club.  Quin smiled, glad that things
were still good between she and her lead singer.
