“Kelly.” Shane looked towards Carmen and she nodded her head in a reaffirming expression on her face.

“Kelly? Why would she be upset?” Bette asked picking up her fork.

“Because she has a huge crush on you.”

Bette nearly choked on her spinach while trying to voice her surprise and swallow at the same time. Shane  laughed at her and Carmen finally smirked as she watched Bette take down some water.

“Get out of here.” she said throwing her napkin down on her plate.

“100 percent truth Babe. She stares at you when you’re writing and she can’t stop being so anxious every time she comes into your office, just watch.” Carmen said wanting to laugh at the expression Bette’s face took as she registered this new information.

“Mrs. Turner is in exam room 4 and Ms. Gellar has just arrived.” Kelly said staring at the doctor as she wrote down notes on her clipboard.

“Thank you Kelly.” she automatically answered and then remembered what Shane and Carmen had said about Kelly staring at her when she wrote. Daring herself, she peaked from her board and sure enough there was Kelly staring at her body examining her from top to bottom. Bette immediately saw the intent in her body language.  This for some reason intrigued her.

Tina had just awoken in her bedroom when she heard the front door close. She sat up and in her sleepy state of mind she called out, “Rick?” the silence that followed was so encompassing that it hindered the realization that Rick was gone. With a bite to her lower lip she sunk back down in her headboard and realized that her dream was entangled into reality and her front door was never opened or closed.  She ran her hand up and down the side of her face as she said, “Jesus what’s wrong with me?” she’d turned her head to the side of her nightstand and noticed the red light blinking on her phone.  She’d picked it up and read a message from Alice asking her to lunch today. The next message she’d read was from Bette telling her that Alice and Carmen had invited her to lunch and that it sounded like a set up.  The mere thought of Bette seemingly looking suspicious made her smile. “Ohh, Bette.” she smiled as she closed her phone and threw it on the bed and laid back down.
