“Sop by if you can” Bette said

“I promise I will try” Tina lied again “Good night Bette”

“Drive safe Tina, good night”

Alice and Helena arrived at Sparkle; it was jumping, maybe more than Milk Alice thought “This place it’s great! How come I’ve never been here before?”

“Because you only go to Milk” Helena replied “Let’s go to the bar, there are no empty tables left”

“I thought you were a VIP client and you would get us a table” Alice said sarcastically

“I used to come a lot when I was a younger but then I settled in New York and got married if I can call that a marriage”

They ordered two margaritas and begun hunting

“Does your girlfriend know you’re here?” Alice asked

“She does” Helena smiled “Does Dana know you’re here?” she tried to suppress a laugh this time

“I told her that I was going out with you, that’s all” Alice said a little bit embarrassed

“She doesn’t know you’re here for some action… good” Alice just glared at her

They spot two girls on the other side of the bar, they were 25 at least they thought but they approached them anyway.

“I’m Helena and this is my friend Alice” Helena introduced theirselves

“I’m Rudy and this is Sarah” the blond girl said and then pointed a tall brunette “Nice meeting you”

“Rudy you wanna dance?” Helena extended her hand to Rudy who gladly took her “Be right back” she said to Alice

“What are you drinking Sarah?” Alice asked her

“I was drinking water but I’ll have whatever you’re drinking” Sarah smiled and Alice found her sweet

“A Margarita?” Alice asked

“Wow? Did you have a bad day?”

Alice just smiled “No but it’s Wednesday and I have to work tomorrow so I don’t have  time to drink much so I can get in the mood to dance, the margarita does the job for me” Alice asked the bartender for another round and handed the drink to Sarah.

They started talking.  Soon Alice found out that Sarah worked for a political magazine in the human resources department and Sarah that Alice worked for L.A. Magazine and had radio program and that she was Alice, the creator of The Chart

“Have you added names?”

“Not really but I’ve slept with two women of your chart” Sarah replied embarrassed

“Log on tonight and check if they’re linked to me” Alice was flirting now

“I will” and Sarah was flirting back

They continued talking and flirting, Helena and Rudy had joined the conversation but they went back to dance.  It was almost three a.m. in the morning so the four of them were ready to go, Alice and Sarah exchanged their phone numbers and Helena told Rudy that she was very pleased to have meeting her but she had a girlfriend.  Rudy just smiled and said that it was ok, she had had a good time.

“How did it go?” Helena asked Alice when they were in the car

“It was great, she’s very nice and interesting” Alice replied smiling

“Will you call her?”

“Sure I will, she’s cute and funny” Alice smiled “besides, she told me she had slept with two women of the chart, I want to know who they are”

“One would probably be Shane” Helena joked and Alice punched her on her arm
