Alex smiled kindly.

“How was your morning run?”

There seemed to be some sort of intimacy in between those too. At least some form of familiarity. Made me wonder if they ever dated one another.

“God, it was great. I really needed to clear my head.”

She replied while taking out a bottle of water out of the fridge.

Made me feel like I needed a run myself. I wonder if Bette would ever be up to something like that.

“So, when are you going to talk to Jody? Or worse Alice? You know she’s been calling me every ten minutes ever sense you ran out as if your ass was on fire.”

I wasn’t sure who this Alice person was but just the mention of her name had Bette panicked.

“I’ll call her today.” Bette said taking a seat next to me. She began to look over my shoulder at the magazine I was flipping threw.

I heard a phone ring that I never knew existed. The two brunettes just looked at each other. I was assuming something was up. Neither made an attempt to get it.

“I’ll get it.” I said. Getting up to go in search of this phone.

Bette quickly placed her hand on my arm.

“The answering machine will get it.”

Alex let out a little giggle.

“Oh come on that would be so fun”

“For you, I don’t want to have to do more explaining then I already have too.”

She said still looking at me.

“Bette, they all saw you get into the mysterious blondes car and drive away. They all think she’s the women you left Jody for.”

Great, now there’s more drama I have to deal with. Maybe Alex is right. Bette needs to talk to Jody and this Alice person.

We all stayed quiet to hear the person screaming once the machine beeped.

‘BETTE!! WHAT THE HELL? YOU LEFT ME HERE TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO YOUR SOPOSED TO BE WIFE WHY YOU LEFT. WITH THE HOT SMOKING BLONDE. NEXT TIME YOU HAVE A GET AWAY CAR LET ME KNOW. AND HAVENT YOU SEEN THAT SHOW COPS! YOUR NOT SOSPOSED TO JUMP IN FRONT OF THE HOT SMOKING BLONDES GET AWAY CAR.Who is she anyway? Call me back or I’m flying over there. Oh and Shane says hi. Another thing I just saw these really cute shoes I wanted to tell you all about. And I took my wedding present back.’

There was a dead silence after the final beep.

She thinks I’m hot. I couldn’t help but smile.

“Just for the record I didn’t tell anybody you were here.” Alex said defensively.

“I know Alex, I spoke to Kit yesterday.”

I knew kit was the older sister but who’s Alice? I thought to my self.

Bette seemed to be reading my mind

“Alice is one of my best friends.”

I nodded. She sounded crazy.

“Okay Breakfast is ready”.

“You guys go ahead; I’m going to freshen up. Besides we have to go sight seeing. Will you be joining us Alex?” Bette asked while making her way down the hall.

I couldn’t help but admire the way her hips sway.

“No, I have errands I need to get done.”

I looked over at Alex and realized she caught me staring at Bette. She simply gave me a knowing smile. She placed a plate of pancakes in front of me and winked.

“She’s hot huh?”

I nodded. There was no point in denying my attraction for Bette.

“Well take a number.”

“Are you next, Alex?” I asked out of curiosity more then anything.

"Next to what?" I know she knew what I ment.

"Do you already have a number?"

Maybe thats why she didnt aprove of Bette’s wedding with Jody.

She turned and looked at me in the eyes.

“Oh no, Bette and I are and will always be just friends.”

I focused on the pancakes. Not really wanting to give away how relieved I really was.

“Enjoy Tina.”

She winked.
