“Is he really that bad Bette? Helena really wanted to know.

“Let’s just say he’s a real character.”

“What do he look like?”

“Mmm, tall, slightly graying at the temples and excellent posture. Why do ask?”

“Because I think he’s coming this way.”

Looking over her shoulder. “Shit here we go.”

“Elizabeth I’ve been searching for you all-night. Didn’t Phyllis tell you I was looking for you? As his eyes wandered up and down her body making a direct stop at her chest. “And I must say you look absolutely stunning as usual.” finally making eye contact with her. “And who is this beautiful woman by your side? As he also gave Helena the same once over. This didn’t go unnoticed by Bette nor the stiffing of her body by Helena.

“Helena Peabody, Robert S. Falcon.”

“ I’ve heard of so many things about you, Mr. Falcon.” Helena lied.

“Only good things I hope. And please call me Robert.” he laughed.

“Well let’s just say you have quite a reputation.”

“Well I know what I want Ms. Peabody and I’m not afraid to go after it.” looking directly at Bette. “But even I know when I don’t have a chance.” raising his glass to Bette.

“You would be a great catch for any woman Robert.” said an annoyed Bette.

“Any woman but you or even you Ms. Peabody. Is it something in the water or did you just happen to meet the wrong man to turn you against all men. Both Helena and Bette looked at each other and then at the unfortunate man who was about to get an ear full.

“Why is it every guy thinks that the only reason a woman is a lesbian is because she was hurt by some guy?” Bette was the first to ask.

“Well it’s quite simple Elizabeth. If the man was pleasing and taking care of his woman the way he was suppose to, then she wouldn’t have to go out and find it some where else. Let alone find in the arms of another woman.”

“So Robert let me get this straight, no pun intended. The only reason a woman becomes a lesbian is because she hasn’t met Mr. Right? Ask Helena.

“Exactly. What can two women do really? Yes they can have a good time with one another. And to be honest I think two women getting it on is hot as hell. But when the niceties are over and they want it deep and hard, what do they do? They go out and buy certain appendages to mimic that of a man. But why even bother when you can have the real thing.” said Robert in his arrogant tone.
