”Cut it out!” Alice squealed, making Bette laugh out loud.

Alice! Tina cried as Alice managed to snatch the panties from Bette’s hand, throwing them in her best friend’s face and laughing at the sight. Look, I’m sorry okay? I know that I’ve been a little messed up lately by not being around like I used to but I just need you to do this favor for me. I’ll make it up to you, I swear. I’ll be at every performance from now on.

With her laughter subsided, Alice released yet another sigh that crackled over the speaker. “I appreciate the apology TK but my answer is still no. We’re not playing this weekend and I’m really not in the mood to stand there and watch you drool over some girl”

Can I just-

”Nope. Talk to you later. Love you, bye”

She quickly hung up the phone before Tina could object and sighed before she placed the device down on the counter.

”What was that about?” Bette asked smiling as she balled up the panties now in her hand.

”Tina apparently thinks she’s gay now” Alice rolled her eyes and bit into her apple.

”Really?” Bette asked with intrigue, her smile slowly widening across her beautiful face.

”Don’t even joke like that” Alice warned as she pointed a finger at her best friend, ”My sister is off limits”

Bette smirked as she leaned over the island counter once more and brought her apple to her lips, “Who said I was joking?”

Alice leaned over and snatched the apple before Bette had a chance to bite into it, leaving the brunette with her mouth open. “I mean it, Bette. Stay away from my sister. I don’t need her getting caught up in lesbian drama when she’s not even gay in the first place.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Bette frowned.

“It means, I know you” Alice sighed, offering no more.

Bette pursed her lips, trying not to take offense to her best friend’s words. “You act like I’m going to taint the girl or something”

“Yeah well, you might”

It was an automatic response, one that cut deep and left Bette without a response. She was known as the queen of non-commitment and changed lovers almost as much as she changed her underwear but not once did Bette think that Alice saw her that way. They were best friends, had been since high school and the last thing Bette had expected from Alice was any type of judgment.
