After little persuasion from Alice, Bette decided to go out for drinks rather than sitting at home staring at the wall. She entered the doors of Milk and saw Alice waiting for her at the bar. Bette scaned the room before making her way over to the bar, which didn’t go unnoticed by Alice.

Alice: “What am I not good enough company?”

Bette: “What?” she innocently replied.

Alice: “Or were you thinking of that blonde at the planet again?”

Bette: “Oh get off of it.”

Truth was, that was exactly what she was doing. She couldn’t get the clumsly stranger out of her mind.

Alice: “You should ask her out, she’s hot.” she continued probing.

Bette: “Yeah, all I gotta do is wait for her to walk into me again”

Alice: “Or you into her.”

Bette: “Don’t get on that fate thing again”

Alice: “What, you don’t believe in fate. You have to admit that it was kinda strange. Plus, I saw the look in your eyes Porter, you looked smitten.”

Bette: “That’s insane. Your insane. Smitten..” she huffed

Alice: “Whatever, you’ll see, and then you’ll be like, Oh Alice your so smart, how did you get so smart I wonder. Then i’ll be like oh that’s just me, im always right. You’ll get used to it someday, it’s ok”

Bette: “Wow” she said taking a drink of her gin and tonic.

Bette was hardly in the mood for prowling tonight so she kept all of her focas on Alice, as hard as that was. A few drinks later and all that blabber Bette had, had enough. As she was about to leave she was approached by a very attrctive young blonde. Alice couldn’t hear what they were talking about but she was sure she didn’t need to to know what was going on. To her surprise the girl walked away and Bette headed out the doors alone. “Not smitten my *****, Porter. I should have Miss Cleo’s job.” she thought as she watched leave.

Tina was half way through her script when she passed out cold. She was sleeping soundly with her face buried in the couch when her phone started to ring. She snapped her head up and looked around with confusion all over her face. Once she realized it was the phone ringing she groaned a loud “No” and dropped her heavy head onto the pillow and she laid there waiting for a message.

Beep..”Hey Teener, it’s your wicked awesome little bro here” Tina laughed at her brothers Boston accent. “Im sure mom told you about me coming to California so I wanted to let you know im in Cleveland visiting grandma right now and my flight to LA is at ten twenty tomorrow morning, and that means i’ll be in LA tomorrow night. I’ll give you a second to contain your excitment……ok, good now? Anyway, I can’t wait to see you. Peace.”

Tina was excited and nervous about seeing her brother. The last time she saw him was three years ago when he was an annoying sixteen year old. They were close when they were little eventhough they were four years apart in age but when their parents split up her dad moved to Boston and Ben went with him. Tina of course stayed in San Diego with her mom. After that they would see eachother two months out of the year. Tina would spend a month in Boston with her dad and Ben and Ben would go back to San Diego with her. As time progressed Tina got busyer and couldn’t find the time for her yearly visits. The more time they spent apart the more the family fell apart. This broke Tina’s heart and there was nothing she could really do about it. “Let’s hope this doesn’t turn into a disaster” she thought as she got up to bed.
