“Who cares if she doesn’t like it? I heard you’re the sole financier of this gallery, anyway. Just tell her you want to do it.”

“I don’t know. I haven’t been on her good side lately. I mean I don’t even know for sure if she’s going to stay now.” Kelly worried that Bette would pull out of her share of the gallery. She was feeling a little guilty about coming on to her that hard at her and Tina’s home. Nonetheless, she wasn’t going to back down. She had a made a mistake back at college and now she had to have Bette even if that meant fighting Tina for her.

“Oh, she’ll get over it. Believe me, she’s Bette Porter for god’s sake!”

“Fine, I’ll talk to Bette about it.” Kelly sighed.

Bette rounded the corner of where the two women have been chatting. She had her messages in her hands and her head was down. Upon hearing her name she chimed in.

“Talk to me about what?” Bette looked to Kelly. She furrowed her brows when she saw the shorter blonde next to her colleague. “Hey there Jodi” She signed and smiled warmly. The last time the two had spoken together had been at dancing event. Jodi told her that she felt sorry for Tina when she would find out that Bette had been cheating on her with Kelly. Bette denied it, but Jodi said Kelly told her that in fact it all happened.

Jodi narrowed her eyes at her, obviously still bitter about their breakup. She then waved a bye with her hand at Kelly not paying any mind to Bette.

Kelly and Bette stood alone now silently until Bette broke the air. Bette turned to Kelly. “Kelly I wish you wouldn’t tell people what NEVER happened between us and what will never ever happen.”

Kelly just shrugged, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Kelly please people talk and I know what you’ve been spreading and I don’t appreciate it, really you need to stop it.” Bette said angrily with her hands on her hips. “And Kelly we need to talk.”

“Sure no problem, How about we have lunch together?” Kelly asked.

Bette shook her head. “No I can’t. You know today is my day to teach at CU. It’s actually important what about in 20 minutes or so?”
