“Its o.k. Tina, I was just playing with you.”

 “Sorry Bette, I was just choosing to ignore you.”

 Alice can see the tension mounting and decides to do something about it.

 “Come on Bette, let’s dance, its been awhile.”

Bette and Alice go to the dance floor, leaving Tina with Shane and Dana. Who were sensing the tension to.

 Unlike Dana, she decides to make an inquiry.

 “Tina, what do you think of Bette?”

“I think it is too soon to tell, I mean she is a beautiful lady, with a killer body but she does seem to have a dry sense of humor.”

 Shane laughs,”You are only saying that cause it was at your expense.”

 Tina gives Shane a tap on the shoulder and turns her attention to the dance floor. Bette’s dance moves are a bit distracting; she seems to have a flow about her. Those long legs and carmel skin, Stop Kennard Tina tells
herself!  Time to find your next lady of the evening. Tina scans the crowd and see’s an attractive thing on the other side of the bar and decides to take a walk over after saying good bye to the girls at the table.

 Bette and Alice make their way back to the table.

 “Hey, where is Tina?” Alice asks.

“I think we may have lost her for the night, she went in that direction.” Shane says while pointing toward Tina, who was currently leaning in and whispering in the ear of a cute young thing.

 Alice laughs, “Told ya Porter, She is as much the player as you are!”

 “Not so much anymore Alice. Let’s just say I am open to more of a relationship these days.”

 “I knew it, when you were gone for so long, I thought there might be a woman involved. Who is she? Dish Porter.”

 “Sorry to disappoint you Alice but after traveling around so much and a different woman in every port, I am just bored with the chase. A part of me would like to know who I was going to be spending the night with when I wake up in the morning!”

Alice feigns a heart attack.

 “Someone call a doctor, Bette’s sick.”

 “Funny Alice!”

Bette now notices Tina dancing to a slow song with the young cutie from before. Bette is mesmerized with the way Tina sways her body to the music, while holding the young cutie as close as possible, their bodies grinding together. Stop it Porter! Bette tells herself. Bette was not use to be so captivated by a women but Tina had her attention! Its crazy Bette thought! Nothing could ever happen between the two, it would throw the whole gang dynamics off and besides she (Bette) is trying to change her player ways.

“Oh, look Tina’s leaving,” Shane says waving to Tina.

As Tina is leaving she waves to the girls and says she will call them tomorrow.

 “To bad, I was kinda hoping to get to know her a bit.” Bette says.

“Oh really,” replies Alice, “I was kinda thinking you guys were gonna come to cuffs before.”

 “Don’t be dramatic, Alice, we were just joking around.”

“All right, are you going to join us at Tina’s tomorrow for our evening meal. Tina is a great cook and every once in a while she has all of us over for a free meal and she has made such an offer for tomorrow night. Then we will probably go out for the evening. So, are you game?”

“Sure, why not I don’t have any other plans.”

 “All right, I will call you tomorrow with the times. Right now, I am taking my girlfriend home, come on Dana.”

“It is going to take me awhile to get use to you and Dana as a couple, but I think its sweet!”

 “Its not sweet Porter, its HOT! Now, good night Porter and Shane!”

 Bette and Shane share a laugh at Alice’s expense.

 “Well Shane, I think its time I head out. You need a ride or are you staying?”

 “I think I am going to hang out for a bit, I see someone I would like to get to know.” Shane says with a wink

 Bette leaves and Shane heads for her mark.
