Shane laughed and shook her head. "Yea, better you than me!" she said to Helena before smiling impishly up at Alice.
 

"Har, har, harhey, where’s Jenny, Shane?" Alice suddenly shouted.
 

"God knows!" Shane shrugged and shouted. "Hey, who’s the martini for then?"
 

"Bette’s." Helena shouted, still swaying and looking on as Alice dug out her cellular phone, pressed a button and shouted, "Hold on one sec" into it. She looked at Helena and Shane and pointed to her self and then pointed to the door then her cellular phone, then pointed to herself then pointed to the door again.
 

Shane mouthed, "What?…What are you saying?" looking extremely puzzled.
 

Alice pointed to her cellular, herself and the door again.
 

Shane shrugged her shoulders and mouthed again, "What?…What the hell is she talking about?" looking confusedly at Alice then Helena who shrugged her shoulders as if she didn’t understand either. Alice released some pent up air from her lips, waved her free hand over her head exasperatedly and gave Shane and Helena a chastising look before walking off.
 

Helena and Shane struggled to keep a straight face until Alice disappeared before bursting into laughter.
 

"I saw that!" Bette shouted as she appeared from behind them.
 

"We just couldn’t help ourselves, could we?" Shane explained laughingly.
 

"No we couldn’t" Helena felt the heat rise to her face as she looked at Bette who was looking right at her. She lifted her drink off the table and turned to smile at Shane just as Kit’s voice came booming, "Ok, ladies, lets give it up for Casey, the final act for the evening(pause for applause)after which I’d like to ask you, my friends, to join mein dancing till the sun comes up! Let’s give it up for Casey everyone!"
 

All three applauded and looked on as Casey took the stage, "Thanks everyone. The song I’m about to sing is an old onebut it’s a special one. Its special cause today is my girl’s birthdayits special cause I love her with all my heart and I’m going to marry her. It’s special cause it’s her favourite" Casey looked into the audience in the direction of her girl and whispered into the mic, "I love you." Everyone cheered as she started to sing her own trendy rendition of Chaka Khan’s ‘Ain’t Nobody’.
 

Helena turned to look at Bette and sipped her drink then looked away again at Shane who was leaning her chair over to the table next door to talk to someone she knew.
 

She looked back at Bette and saw her smiling at her.
 

"What’s so funny?" Helena shouted.
 

"You" Bette laughed.
 

"Why?" Helena smiled cautiously
 

Bette sipped her martini, smiled and leaned closer before saying, "So, I’m bloody intoxicating, am I?"
 

Helena raised an eyebrow before looking away and smiled a little shyly before looking back at Bette. She bent her head then tilted it to look up into Bette’s mesmerizing eyes
 

She smiled at Bette before moving Bette’s silky hair from her ear and whispered,
 

"You’re fucking scrumptious."
