“Yes I am, and you are Missy.”

“Right, and you must be Kelly.”

“Yep, it’s nice to meet you.”

“Okay now that we got that out of the way, Miss can you finish with the twins? I just noticed that I am not properly dressed.”

“Absolutely.”

“Uhh, I’m going to get ready really quick, I’m sure you guys saw the kitchen on the way in, of course you did, uhhh you can help yourself to anything you want. If nothing is to your satisfactory there is the phone and you can get room service. I’ll be about 20 minutes.”

“We’ll be fine, I’m pretty sure Missy could help us out.”

“Okay.” She goes to her bedroom to get ready while the three of them are taking a look around.

“Mommy look the big water is right over there.”

“That’s called the ocean honey.”

“Three bedroom apartment, ocean view, with a balcony, this IS a nice place.”

Tina looks around. “Yeah very nice.”

“Mommy I’m thirsty.”

“Kelly, can you help her?”

“Yeah, come on kid, let’s see what your momma has in the fridge, from what I here from your mother, there won’t be much.”

She looks in the fridge.

“Whoa!”

“What?”

“Well it’s actually the opposite, let’s see what we got here, cranberry with grape juice, apple juice, fat free milk, orange juice, pineapple juice, and this looks like tomato juice.” She looks at Becky. “So what do think?”

“Apple juice?”

“Exactly what I was thinking.”

At that moment she heard Tina.

“Whoa, how do you work this thing?”

Kelly poured her the juice and went into the living room.

“What is it babe?”

“Look at this remote. There is a button for everything. The blinds, the lights for the living room, dining room, kitchen, the plasma tv, dvd, and look it has the music settings on here too.” She was tempted to touch one of the buttons. “I wonder what this does?”

“I don’t know, try it?” Kelly was just as curious.

Tina pushed the button and the vertical blinds began slowly closing.

“Cool!” They said in unison

“How do you open it back up?”

“I don’t know, I think it’s this button next to it.” She pushed it and the tv came on.

“It’s not that one, maybe this one.” Then the music came on.

“Tina I think it’s time to stop messing with that.”

“Mommy you said don’t touch anything.”

“I know, I know.” At that moment Missy came out with the twins.

“What’s going on out here?”

“Well we were just wondering how everything worked, just curious.”

“Ookay, Why don’t you hold Nadia and you hold Aidan while I turn this stuff off.” She hands them the twins and grabs the remote.

“Okay music off, then tv, then open the blinds.”

She sets the remote down while the blinds are still opening.

“How did you know to open the blinds?”

“Easy, Bette never has them closed during the day.”

“Oh.”

“Well obviously Bette is still getting ready, why don’t you guys sit and I’ll get us something to drink.”

“I got apple juice.”

 “So I see, can I get something for you two?”

“Oh, orange juice is fine.”

“Kelly?”

“Apple juice is fine.”

“Coming right up.” She goes to the kitchen. “Oh and you can set the twins on the activity blankets where Becky is, that’ll keep them busy for a little bit.”

Kelly and Tina did so and watched them from where they were sitting.

“Tina, I can’t seem to get over this place. What does Bette do again? I would imagine this place to be at least $300,000 or… what floor are we on again?”

“Eleventh, the very top floor.”

“Wow, scratch that, $600,000.”

“Kelly it can’t be that much.”

Bette comes walking in.

“That’s some very good calculations, but slightly off.”

They both turn around and all they could think was ‘DAMN!’
