Bette: "I’m sorry. Hey, you have fun with him, and when you have some extra time on your hands…" She points to the direction where Shane was in. "I’ll be over there."

Tina: "Ok, later."

Bette: "Later…" The brunette walks away. She bumps into Eric on the way to meet Shane.

Eric: "Hey, Bette!" He smiles and holds out his hand.

Bette: "Hey, Eric." She shakes his hand hard and firm.

Eric: "Are you having fun?"

Bette: "I have fun everywhere I go."

Eric: "I’m aware of that. Just know that my girlfriend’s off limits."

Bette: "Yeah, sure." She turns and glances over at the blond. "Don’t worry. I’ll behave this time." She smiles and walks off leaving him looking stupid and lost.

Shane: "Hey buddy…" She welcomes Bette into the kitchen.

Bette: "Hello ladies…" The girls clap and laugh amonst one another.

Ladies: "Hey Bette!" They all say at once sounding like a single harmony. The brunette smiles and sits down at the table.

Shane: "Have fun. I’ll be in the livingroom." She pats her friend on the back.

Bette: "Ok…"

One hour later…

Tina enters the kitchen staring at the brunette. By now-she’s heavidly intoxicated.

Tina: "Bette…" The brunette smiles and turns around.

Bette: "Yes?" She smiles.

Tina: "Let me whisper something in your ear." Bette stood from her chair and walks over to the blond.

Bette: "What?" Tina leans in close to her ear.

Tina: "Lets go somewhere where we can be alone." Bette’s brow raised at the invitation. She then scans the room for Tina’s boy-toy. "Who are you looking for?"

Bette: "Your man. I kind of made him a deal."

Tina: "What kind of deal?"

Bette: "That I’d stay away from you. He’s scared that I might steal you from him." Tina chuckles and nearly falls over. Bette catches her and holds her up. "Are you okay?"

Tina: "Yeah. I’m fine. I could use another beer."

Bette: "I think you’re done. You’ve drank enough already."

Tina: "Yeah. Maybe your right." Just then-Bette spots Eric coming her way.

Bette: "Lover boys coming." She backs away and faces the sink.

Eric: "Baby, I have to go and pick up the girls. Their car broke down and they need a ride." A thought came to Bette’s mind.
