“I’ll call you on Monday. I can tell you how my new assignment is going.” said Alice, brightening slightly.

“That sounds like a great idea.” replied Bette, smiling gently back at Alice.

Bette walked over to the counter and placed her empty cup on the counter. She smiled and waved at Kit who was busy serving and talking to her patrons. Bette had a good feeling about The Planet. It had seemed to give Kit the focus that she had been lacking for way too long now. Bette hoped that once things were properly up and running here that Kit would consider revitalising her singing career. One step at a time thought Bette.

As Bette headed towards the door she took a last look at Alice. She already had her laptop open and was perusing the latest gossip website. Bette had to laugh to herself. She would never be out of touch while Alice was around. Bette went to open the door to make her exit but was face by a dark haired woman. Bette smiled at her and waited for her and her blonde haired companion to enter The Planet.

“She was beautiful.” said Tina, smiling at Shane as they entered The Planet.

“Who was beautiful?” asked Shane, a twinkle in her eye.

“You know who I’m talking about.” smiled Tina, punching Shane lightly on the arm.

“That hurt.” said Shane, rubbing the side of her arm.

“What do you want to drink?” asked Tina, leading Shane towards the bar.

“A beer will be fine.” replied Shane, looking around for a good table.

Tina stood by the bar and surveyed her surroundings. It was still early but the place was busy. Shane had made a good choice suggesting that they come here. Everyone seemed relaxed and considering that The Planet hadn’t been opened long it felt like they already had some regulars. Beautiful regulars if the woman they had passed on the way through the door was anything to go by.

“What can I get you?” asked Kit, coming up to serve Tina.

“Two beers please.”

“I haven’t seen you around here before.” said Kit, grasping two bottles and opening them before Tina.

“My friend suggested we come here, I’m liking it so fat though.” smiled Tina, thinking that it was nice that the woman serving her was so friendly.
