What do I say when I get there?

Ha. You are funny tonight. Youre stealing my part and Im ***** jealous.

I need a drink.

You need more than I drink funny girl.

We walked slowly towards them, sort of moving in stealth that it brought back stalker like senses in me. We were now only a portrait away and it was so obvious that thank goodness an unknown fan approached Bette and I, and there we started a small talk about the picture in front of us.

Of course Bette couldnt ignore the adoring fan. An art pop star must keep the fan base glowing and it was exactly what she was doing. I, on the other hand was bored to death and so I stepped back and as planned I backed up into Erics behind, Erics strong behind.

Whoa. Im sorry. I didnt see you right there.

You okay?

YeahIm good. How are you guys making out?

I saw from my side, Bette evil-eyeing me out. Whatever. I completely ignored her and went on about my good old self. Tina snickered and laugh a little at my inside joke.

Were doing good, Alice, making out just fine.

Hey Eric, right? Sorry I forget first names. Im more in touch with the last name basis.

Matthews it is then.

Good. So Matthews, what about that interview now? We could go around the gallery and you can tell me about you, you and Tina, and maybe your childhood coz I didnt have a great one and I love growing up stories. But wherever you want to start is fine.

Wow. I thought this interview is about the gallery?

It is. But you see Im a different kind of a writer. I like to know who Im interviewing before the actual interview could start. Therefore, the info I get gives me more of an insight on who you truly are. Connecting is word.

Well, okay then. But what about Tina?

Oh right. Bette can take care of TK. Where is she? Bette. Bette!

I grabbed her arms and flung her at Tinas side immediately, giving her a smile, indicating that my plan was going awesome.

Me and Matthews are gonna have a talk. You can take care of TK right?

Both women stood in silence side by side, nodding in agreement. I gave my other wine glass to Eric and we were headed the other way. One last look back and I saw the two still in silence, not exactly knowing what to say or do.

I thought you only do last names? What about TK?

I like to spice it with the initials now and then.

My plan was indeed going awesome. I got Matthews away and so Bette and Tina are now alone to talk. The problem was, even if Im on the other side of the gallery, I still cant see their mouths moving. I just cant do everything! Well…maybe I can.
