Im confused Al. I need time to think and a vacation would be nice.

They pulled up in front of Helenas house and Tina could see someone looking out the window.

Thanks Al. Ill call you with the information to where Im staying just incase you need to get in touch with me. Just please dont give it to Bette, I dont want her to think about me while Im there

Alice said, Ok, when she was really thinking Bette never gets you off her mind.

Tina got out of the car and rang the bell. She was greeted with a kiss from the brunette beauty. As the door closed behind her, Alice just shook her head at the thought of the all the drama going on in their lives. She drove home and plopped down on her empty bed. She wished Dana was in her arms but they decided to take a day off away from each other. As she closed her eyes to think of her lover the phone rang and startled her.

Hello

Hey its me, Tina.

I know your voice silly.

I got the information of where Im staying in Paris. Do you want it?

Definitely. What is it?

Well be at the Hotel Royal Monceau. The address is 37 Avenue Hoche. Our room is 624.

Tina and Helena arrived at Charles de Gaulle airport after a 5 hour flight to New York followed by a 7 hour flight to France. A limo that Helena had arranged for picked them up at the terminal and they started their drive to the hotel. The sleepy women just stared out the window with heavy eye lids, due to their lack of sleep on the turbulent flight there. A short time later they pulled up in front of their hotel. The chauffeur got their bags and into the building they went. The doorman wearing a royal blue suit jacket held the door open for them and greeted them with a Bonjour!

Wow this place is gorgeous! Tina said as her eyes widened at the sight of the lobby. A large crystal chandelier hung right above them, creating a sparkle in the marble floor beneath their feet. Scattered in the room were at least twenty tan chairs that matched the carpet and contrasted beautifully with the dark brown wooden tables. The way all the colors blended made the place feel safe and welcoming.

Just like you, said Helena as she slipped her arm around Tinas waist.

They went to the front desk and got their room key. When they got to their floor, Tina couldnt help but notice the artwork everywhere; beautiful paintings on the walls and perfectly carved sculptures. She thought to her self, Bette would love this.

They two women entered their room and collapsed on the bed. They fell straight to sleep, with Helenas arm draped over Tinas plump stomach.

Pieszecki, what do you want? Bette asked as she answered her phone that was vibrating on her messy office desk.

First off, you still owe me a thank you for getting you off the floor last night, I could have left you there, Alice said proudly.

Ok thanks, but I was fine there.

Sure.. and youll be thanking me again in a few seconds.

And why is that? Bette questioned with a quizzical look on her face.

Well it might interest you that a certain someone is staying in room 624 at the Hotel Royal Monceau.

Al, why would I be interested in that info?

Because thats where Tina is staying and it’s where were going!

Bettes eyes popped out of her head a little bit before she said, We are not going to Paris! Are you out of your mind? Shes on vacation with Helena!

So what? Youll be on vacation with me, Dana, and Shane. Plus I already got the tickets.

Al why are you doing this?

Because we love you and you love Tina. Tina loves you but is afraid, so nows the perfect time to show her your love is much deeper than the words say.

Bette settled down farther in her black leather seat. She knew this was the best idea Alice ever came up with and that it was something she had to do. How much do I owe you?

If you and Tina get back together then the trip is on me.

Al, this trip is going to cost a fortune!

Yeah but seeing your friends happy is priceless.
