“Maybe you would remember if you’d stop smoking weed.”

“Me turn my back on the devils lettuce, never, “she says sarcastically while placing a hand over her chest.

“Wait so Laras not coming!?”

“Nope, and that pissed Dane off before I came here to help you out she showed up at the salon telling me the whole story. I gave her my keys and told her she could stay with me until things cooled off.”

“Shit.”

“Yeah I know.”

“Well, that explains why she hasn’t responded to any of my text or phone calls. Is Dana still coming?”

“Yup, said she wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

“Well as promised I will not say a word.”

“Thank you.” After Shanes revelation Bette did not know what to make of Dana and Laras situation. Her loyalty of course laid with Dana but she couldn’t help feel bad for them both. She remembered some years back when she and Tina were on bad terms, all she wanted to do was make things right between them but just didn’t know how. Dana had been away for years and it sucked she had to return to Los Angeles like this.

“Okay check this out I have to run I told Helena and Kit I’d stop by the The Planet for a few, where good here?”

“Yeah, thanks for the help.”

“Not a problem I’ll see you tomorrow for the big day.”

“Yup, oh and Shane can you please remind Kit to be on time.”

“Well you know her motto it’s better to arrive late than to arrive ugly, “she says turning away smiling.”

“Yeah your right well tell her I said not to be too late.”

“Yup, see ya!”

With her pedicure rudely interrupted, forced to attend a senseless meeting, and now with her car over-heating Alice was having the day from hell. Pulling over to the side of the freeway she pops open the front hood then gets out. Opening the hood of her car she was immediately met with a cloud of white smoke.

“Are you kidding me right now!?” She says in frustration waving her hands back and forth hoping to clear the air.

“Great just what I need right now, “she says getting back into her car to find her phone. Going through her contacts she searches for Shanes number when she called her number it immediately went to voicemail. She didn’t call Bette because she knew she would be busy finalizing things for the gala. It was dinner rush hour for the Helena and Kit so she didn’t want to disturb them either. Scrolling through her contacts she sees Tashas name and is reminded she had yet to respond to the text she received from her early this morning. Unfortunately, a response had to wait finding Tinas name she calls her she picks up after the third ring.
