I quickly laid back down and pretended to be passed out with my mouth open. And just as I had predicted she took a peak at me and then went on about her business. I do appreciate the sincerity and the rent a couch for the night but I still had my apology to perform. I feel like I’m in play you know. Like I know that I’m cut out for this but I’m not ready yet. And of course, I’m so the leading lady and I don’t die in any of my mind theatrical plays. I save the day and so I need to save mine right now.

I got up slowly, still feeling tipsy of course. But I managed to fold the blankets and put them aside just like any grateful guests would do. I went silently in the kitchen and found myself a couple of aspirin already laid out for me and a glass of water.

I knew what I had to do. My guiltiness was just overbearing at this point that I don’t know if I could hold it any longer. The passing out, the available couch, the aspirinthis is my best friend! Argggggg! I marched into the room as fast I could and barged on in withouth knocking. Naked Bette was startled and covered her crack as soon as I got a good glimpsed of it.

“What are you doing?!”

“I came here to apologize.”

“For this?!”

“Well that too, so I’m sorry. I’m sorry for barging in and for what happened yesterday.”

“What?” Bette was still inside the closet, trying hard to get ready. Anyways I made way to sit on the bed and turned around so that I’m not facing her. She managed to get her clothes picked out and continued listening to me through this ordeal.

“Yesterday”

“What did you do again? God, Alice. I swear one of these days you are going to get arrested again. And I’m not gonna bail you out again. Whacha do this time? Trespassed? Steal? Fight? Fired?! Did you get fired?!…”

“No I did not get fired. Wellmaybe they will later.”

“coz as much as I love you Al, I just can’t support another human being at this point so you cannot be fired.”
