Bette leant back on the chair that she was sat on and took a long swig of beer. It was going to be a long night. She watched as her girlfriend engaged in yet another nonsensical debate with Alice on some apparently high profile actress that Bette had never heard of.

"I’m telling you, she uses a body double!" Alice insisted.

"How would you know? Have you seen her in the flesh?" Jodi asked.

"Look, you can just tell ok. When you see photos of her and stuff. There’s no way her boobs are that pert with no support"

"And you’re the expert are you?"

"I happen to know a thing or two about tits, yes" Alice smirked.

Bette just rolled her eyes. It was another night, another stupid bar, and another evening of wishing she could be around some intelligent conversation for a change. It wasn’t that she was adverse to light-heartedness, it was just that recently everything that Jodi seemed to want to talk about struck her as completely meaningless.

"I’m going to the bar, anyone want anything?" Bette asked.

She was waved away by the women around her who seemed far to engrossed in their latest discussion on how to tell if someone had had a boob job or not to care about where she was going.

When she reached the bar Bette leant over and caught the bartenders attention to order another beer. Just as she did this she felt a hand on her shoulder. Spinning round, she was greeted by the sight of Tina, who she couldn’t help but notice looked absolutely breathtaking in a black halter neck that left an inch of her taught midriff exposed above tight black trousers.

"Tina, hey!" Bette smiled genuinely.

"Bored of the celebrity gossip already?" Tina asked, indicating Alice and Jodi with a nod.

"How did you guess?"

"You forget how well I know you"

"How could I ever forget?" Bette smiled again, before silently chastising herself. She almost felt as though she was flirting with Tina. Wait, that was insane. She was with Jodi now. And neither her nor Tina had an interest in each other. Right? She pushed the thought to the back of her mind and tried frantically to come up with a neutral conversation.
