“Damn you Bette, “she playfully says while hobbling towards her phone. Throwing herself back on the bed she answers her phone.

“Hey.”

“Good morning, did I wake you?”

“No…not at all I’ve been up for a while.”

“Did you wash that coloring book you call a face?”

“Hey, I didn’t hear you complaining about my face last night!”

“That’s because my attention was focused elsewhere.”

“Yeah and I don’t I know it, “she answers sarcastically.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“It means Bette I’m sore as hell! I went to the bathroom earlier I could barely wipe myself.” Tina hears something on the other end of the phone she wasn’t sure what it was but it sounded like a slapping noise.

“What was that?”

“Oh, nothing just me giving myself a high-five I put it “DOWN” last night, “she says laughing complementing herself on a job well done.

“You know what, fuck you and your little high-five, “she says jokingly, “Now, I have to soak in the tub before work.

“Awwwww, I’m sorry next time I won’t be so rough I forget sometimes how delicate you can be.”

“What!? You’re so full of it!”

“Yeah, I am but you know you like it.”

“Ughhhhhh, yeah I do, “she says pausing, “Hey I was disappointed when I reached for you and you weren’t lying next to me.”

“I know that’s why I was calling with the gala being two days away I went in extra early I just want to make sure everything goes according to plan I really need this gala to a be success.”

“And it will be.”

“I hope so; I’ve been busting my ass these last few months.”

“It will all be worth it trust me.”

“I do, hey not to change the subject but have you spoken to Dana?”

“No, not since she left I hope things get better between her and Lara.”

“Me too, hell if not next time I’m going to charge her room and board.”

“Bette!”

“I was joking………it was a joke Dana is always welcomed in our home.”

“Bette?”

“Yeah babe?”

“What are we going to do about Alice?”

“I don’t know…..I mean with the gala right around the corner them running into each other is inevitable besides I’m not worried about them seeing each other.”
