When new and old collide: Chapter 2 Previously: Turning to Tina she just smiles and gives her a kiss. She really does want Tina to know that she was just having a mood, as Tina liked to call it; when Bethy would be happy one minute and balling her eyes out the next. Jaime: I am really sorry babe, I just am tired and I really cannot wait to be alone with you. Hoping Tina will accept that answer for now. Tina: Ok, well lets just have a good time and we will have all the alone time we need tomorrow. Before Tina even has a chance to knock on the door, Alice is there with a margarita in one hand; and what looked to be a thong in the other. Tina (Thinking): Ohhh great, this is going to be a fun night; with grumpy pants and crazy ***** Alice. Please do not let Alice bring up Bette, which is all I need tonight. ************************************************************************ With everybody finally there, they all sat down to dinner. Kit noticed right away that Tina and Jaime were in funky moods as Kit would call it. She wondered what was going on between the two of them, because for as much as Kit liked Jaime she always wished that Tina and Bette would have been able to work things out and sometimes when they were in funky moods she would let herself hope that maybe one day everything would be right. Sometimes her baby sis pissed her off beyond limits she didnt even know she had. Like disappearing without a word two weeks after PROVICATIONS with only little calls here and there to let her know; basically that she was alive, but thats it. Last year she finally called and let Kit know that she had finally settled down in Florida and that she was going to start her own gallery up. Kit wanted to tell Bette that Tina had a little girl and that she named her after Bette, but as soon as Kit mentioned Tinas name Bette told her to stop. Bette did not want to hear about Tinas new life, because she felt that she had no right to know anything about the woman she hurt so much. Tina noticed Kit staring at her with a sad look on her face and wondered what she may be thinking. She could only suspect it had something to do with Bette. Tina knew Kit wanted her and Bette to work things out but that was never going to happen, especially when she had seen nor heard from Bette in three and a half years. Tina often asked Kit if she had heard from Bette and Kit would always tell her when she had, she would never lie to Tina and Tina knew that. Tina once asked Kit if she had told Bette about Bethy and Kit had said no because Bette would not allow her to mention anything about Tina or she would hang up. Tina of course figured Bette had moved on and did not care about Tina anymore. Kit informed Tina that was not the case, Bette believed she had no right to know anything about Tina, because if she would allow herself to think about Tina and there past then she would for sure come back to L.A. and in her words ***** her life up even more. Alice had enough of everyone just sitting there drinking their margaritas and eating their dinners, she was ready for a party it was Friday night after all. She whispered into Shanes ear and then Shane was standing up at the end of the table with an announcement. Shane: Excuse me, but Miss Alice here says that we are being boring and that we need to liven it up a bit so she suggests that we go to Milk and have a little fun. Is that all Alice? Shane says directing the last part right at Alice. Alice: Yes, everybody get the ***** up and lets go partay. Dana: Lets go get our freak on!!! Whoop whoop!!! Everyone laughed at Alice and Dana because they were so drunk already, and lets face it thats pretty damn funny. As they all jumped and some fell into Kits new Escalade (Owning The Planet is really paying off) Kit put the new CD she was working on in the CD player to get the party started. All the girls were having a great time and Tina totally forgot about the earlier confrontation with Jaime. Jaime however had not and she was getting a little annoyed at Tina for pretty much ignoring her the whole night. Milk was packed and everyone was having a great time. Alice and Dana were booty dancing out on the dance floor which from where Tina, Jaime, and Shane were sitting looked like it kind of hurt. Kit was up in the DJ booth with Carmen just chillin out and watching the crowd. When Shane got up to get drinks Jaime figured this was the perfect time to ask Tina if it was ok if she went home because she wasnt feeling well. Jaime: So, Tina would you mind if I got out of here, Im not feeling all that good and I just want to lay down. Tina: Are you ok? Do you want me to go with you? Jaime (Thinking): Well of course I want you to come with me! Tina: Babe? looking a little worried that Jaime had not yet answered her. Jaime: Oh, um no babe thats ok. I am fine I think I just need to lie down. You go have fun with your friends. Tina: Ok, well I love ya; and I will see you tomorrow morning. (Thinking) What the ***** was that ya I hope Jaime didnt catch that. Jaime: Oh, ok. She really thought Tina would either want to leave with her or at least come over tonight after she left Milk. Jaime was leaving and on her way out a beautiful brunette walked through the doors. Jaime did a double take she could swear she new her but where from? TBC
