“Well it’s a good thing you’re here because I can’t sleep this high alone being this drunk.” she said laughing as well. Bette settled down and a thought pierced her mind, “Baby do you have a meeting to get up for?” she asked concerned that Tina might over sleep or that maybe she needed to get up soon.

“Hells no! I did all the hard work already. The rest is up to the nerds.” she said smiling at Bette’s concern, “Now go to sleep.”

A few days went by and everything so far seemed chaotic. Luckily the bed arrived within the two day time frame Bette’s manager had promised. They had fun picking out all new linens to go with their style and taste. Bette was thankful because although the air mattress was good for a little while it was not very comfortable, especially if you wanted to cuddle and not end up on top of someone and not smother them. Tina was working long nights and still trying to negotiate a bigger space out of her deal. With the designs she drew the space needs to be a little bit larger than she intended. So needless to say she was feeling a little stressed out and the company seemed to be pushing her towards a cheap and easy facility that hardly was anything like she planned.

Thankfully Bette could always tell when she was tense and in need of a massage and few words of encouragement. Tina was now working from a desk that Bette saw and just had to have, although she rarely used it was good that Tina was getting a good use out of it.

Bette was going over some music she’d just wrote and still trying to figure out what voice could produce the feelings that she wanted portrayed in the song, when she heard “Shit!” from across the loft. Tina was at the computer going through some emails when she opened up a quote from one of the electricians bidding for the job.

Bette got up and went across to her and began to rub her tight shoulders. “What’s wrong, Sweetie?”

“These fucking contractors are trying to gouge for me for every fucking nickel and dime. Look at this ridiculous quote, and he’s the lowest bidder. I swear if I had the time I’d do the work myself.” Tina said as she threw her glasses down onto a pile of papers. “Fuck that reminds me, I got to get licensed for this state and county. I can’t believe I almost forgot about that.” she said picking up her daily planner and looked to see how far away her deadline was, she was relieved to see that she had at least another month to do so.
