“Come in”

“Hey Porter good morning!!” Alice walked in and sat in a chair in front of Bette

“Good morning Alice” Bette smiled

“Wow somebody is in a good mood today, what gives?” Alice asked

“Nothing Al, it’s a beautiful day today that’s all”

“Did you get laid last night Porter”

“Alice!”  Bette yelled

“You know Al, were at work and here I’m your boss so..”

“Ok, ok geez I get it, when did you get so uptight?”

“I’m not uptight, just setting some boundaries”

“So, Bette why so happy today?” Alice asked

“Well I my friend have a date tonight and I’m looking forward to it”

“God Bette I can’t believe you, I thought you were serious about TK, you better not hurt her Bette or I’ll have to kick your ass..”

“Al, stop”

“But Bette”

“Al, stop my date is with Tina”

“Yeah?” Alice asked

“Yeah, Alice but its nice to see you have Tina’s back so to speak” Bette winked

“Wow, Bette I haven’t seen you this happy about anything for a long time I’m glad it’s about time, I think TK will be good for you she’s very grounded”

“Yeah, I know what you mean; just talking to her she calms me.  I talked to Catherine yesterday I told her about Tina and I, and it’s not like she freaked out or anything, in fact she was really understanding about the whole thing, but none the less I felt guilty for wanting to be with Tina. I didn’t regret telling Catherine not at all, its just I felt kind of bad you know but as soon as I talked to Tina on the phone I felt at ease, I knew everything I was doing, I was doing for all the right reasons, I like her a lot Alice and I really want to see where we can take this”

“Well, Shane and I are happy to see you in a relationship and the fact that it’s with Tina only makes us happier she’s become a very dear friend to us so you better treat her right” Alice winked

“I plan to Alice”
