“What have you got planned for the weekend ?” Helena asked Alice

“I am going to a party tomorrow night “

“You taking your new woman with you ?” Helena did her best to ignore the look of thunder on Bette’s face. Why did Alice suddenly have a freaking death wish which was going to be fulfilled if she revealed to Tina that there was going to be a party the next night for her ?

“No – she’s busy “ Alice said looking shifty

“We would all like to meet her “ Helena said

“Not going to happen “ Alice said

“Not freaking surprised “ Bette said in a voice just loud enough for Tina to hear.

“So how did you meet this woman ?” Helena asked

“She’s a fan of my radio show “ Alice couldn’t resist telling Helena

“Deaf is she ?” Bette said loudly

“What ?”

“Your show plays the worst possible music – and who the hell is that band you keep freaking well playing ? One of our neighbours has a cat and he is always in our garden – he’s got a better voice than her “ Bette said

“She is popular “ Alice defended

“With all your deaf fans “ Helena added “Bette is right -that woman is possibly the worst singer I have ever heard”

“You four just don’t recognise talent “

“I am paid to recognise talent and I make a lot of money for that skill – Helena and Bette are right “

“You would back them “ Alice replied.

It was just as well that Tina really wasn’t spoiling for a fight because it was obvious for her that Alice did want to pick a fight. Tina looked at Alice and laughed

“Whatever Alice – whatever “

“I have a question Alice “ Helena was sick of all this pussy footing around

“What ?”

　

　

“Why do you not know that every lesbian on the west coast has seen pictures of you and your girlfriend fucking in every possible position. Oh and for the record guys – the woman is called Jenny Schecter and she is reported to be madder than Alice which might explain a lot. Did no one ever tell you not to sleep with anyone madder than you ?”
