“Blend in? I’ve been blending you know. But there’s a limit to how a normal, sane person can keep up with this blending in. Besidesyou’re a virgin at one of these things. Let’s see your patience when it’s your fourth time, okay?”

“So why not just go home then?”

“What? And miss the look on Bette’s face if and when Tina finally shows up with Eric? Nah ah. I’m staying put here and resting my eyes for a bit. Because I know that it’s gonna be quite a show later on.”

“What makes you think that Tina’s bringing Eric?”

“Because that’s what I would do.”

“You’re half asleep and you keep spitting bs.”

“Okaywhy don’t we make a bet out of this, huh? I say Tina’s going to show up with Eric. And you wanna know why? Because the whole kissy thing we saw last week was a slight shock to her. Not really slight, but a total shock to Tina. She’s ***** and she doesn’t know it. And now for the last week, she’s been thinking and rethinking all the past relationships she’s had and questioning each and everyone around her because of what happened last Monday. And if I was Tina, I would bring Eric my current boyfriend and act him as my shield towards Bette. Boy I’m good. Now I’m wide awake.”

“Fine. But why would Tina show up in the first place? She could’ve just easily not go and forget about the whole thing.”

“See, that’s the difference between you and me. Sometimes Dana, you just need to take chances and believe in fate. Tina’s going to show up because of the wonderful world of curiosity. And not because of the girl on girl thing experiment, no. She’s in for Bette. Just her. A person. Who happens to have a great set of boobage.”

“You’re so full of yourself sometimes. I don’t really like it when you make sense.”

“What, you like Bette’s twins too?”

“Alice! No! GadI mean the other stuff. Never mind.”

I continued to tease Dana when sure enough as the sun would shine, Tina entered the building, with Eric following behind. I look over to my far right side where Bette is seated, still busy talking business. She saw me looking at her, gave me a smile and I pointed out Tina with my eyes, who was approaching the table.
