“Fuck if you don’t take that I will.” Alice said amazed once again at Tina endless generosity.

“You’re the only person I want to take care of my home Shane. There’s no way I’d let her stay there. Ok?” Shane nodded her reply and felt a little relieved now that she’d had more of her trepidation knocked out.

“Well now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, I’ll be expecting you ladies over to my place tomorrow bright and early to help with the moving of my things.”

“Uhh, yeah right.” Alice said rolling her eyes and then saw that Bette was very serious in expectations, “Why can’t you be like Tina and hire other people to do that. Come on what’s the point of having a rich girlfriend if she can’t be your Suga Mama?”

“Because our relationship is based on respect and trust I don’t expect to be taken care of. And I love to see you sweat sweetheart.” Bette said punching Alice in the arm.

Alice immediately flipped her off and said, “You suck.” to which Bette just blew her a kiss and smiled.

Tina went into to her office for a while she still needed to give Gus more details about his move to Philadelphia. She also needed to lay to rest some rumors that started about her being insane and trying to sell off the company in pieces.

Tina was sitting at her desk and the feeling of familiarity came to her and she was switched right back into her business state of mind. Everything seemed to be going fine until her phone rang and her headset answered it automatically and she did not look at the caller i.d. before she spoke.

“Tina Kennard speaking.”

“Well Sweetheart I didn’t think that you were coming back.”

“Justine?” she asked not wanting to believe that she’d have the audacity to call her.

“Who else would it be? I don’t think you’ve kicked anyone else out of their homes lately. Or maybe you have, I still remember what a bitch you can be.” she said and Tina could hear the rattle of ice cubes falling in her glass.
