“What did she do now?” Bette laughed at Tina’s look of frustration.

“I think it would be easier and far less thinking required to answer ‘what she didn’t do’” Helena said and sat next to Shane.  “First Kate walks off the set unannounced.”  This made Bette grin from ear to ear “I knew you’d love that one.”

“What?”  Bette tried to cover innocently.

“Uh oh, the boss is pissed” Shane laughed getting used to how she will address Helena.

“I wish Jenny would see me as her boss, but she goes out and hires a new hair stylist without so much as a word to me” Helena went on as Bette, Alice and Dana expressions froze as their rolled toward Shane who was fidgeting in her seat.

“Yeah, then she goes out buys a whole bunch of wardrobe for the movie, again without consulting Helena, Aaron or myself” Tina added as an item on the ‘Reasons Why We Should Hang Jenny’ list.

“Geez” Alice looked at the two executives and carefully said “bad day at work?”

“You can call it that” Tina gave a little laugh.

“Um” Shane cautiously interrupted “I think I’m the new hire you’re not happy about.”

“Oh” Helena looked up at the ceiling “thank god.”  She laughed in relief.

“That’s a good laugh, right?”  Shane wasn’t sure if it was still okay to celebrate.

“Yeah totally okay Shane.”  Tina assured Shane.  “We figured Jenny had hired another psycho-stalker-groupie.”  She laughed as Helena rubbed the hair stylist’s forearm in reassurance.

“Like Adele?”  Dana said knowing who Tina was referring to.

“Yeah” Tina shook her head “there’s something wrong with that girl.”

“Like her obsession with Jenny” Alice nodded.

“Have you dug up anything on her Al?”  Helena asked her favorite gossip/PI girl.

“Nothing on my end, but Max is working on some leads.”  Alice informed her.  “Enough about Jenny, are you guys going to Phyllis’ party?”  She said looking at Bette and Tina.

“I don’t know, Tina will be out of town for a couple of days and I want to stay home with Angie.”  Bette told Alice as she watched Tina a fork a cherry tomato out of Bette’s bowl of salad.  “Two days of pure misery.”

“Aww baby, I’ll be back before you know it.”  Tina said while chewing the fruit before kissing her partner.

“Oh god!”  Everyone at the table chimed in together.

“You ladies need to calm down” Bette warned her lips barely leaving Tina’s.

“Or get laid.”  Tina punctuated with another kiss before returning her attention to Bette’s lunch, as everyone scowled at them.

“Oh god!”  A woman screamed in a dark room.

“Fuck!”  A second woman’s voice followed.

“That was fucking incredible” the woman breathlessly replied “Are you okay?” she heard the other woman cry.

“No” she started to sob “I can’t believe I did it again” She looked at the other woman “with you.”

“I’m sorry” the other woman wanted to cry as she felt the impending rejection.

“Don’t be” the woman tried to soothe “it’s my fault.”

“I shouldn’t have come over.”

“I shouldn’t have called.”

“I won’t say anything.”

“I’m not sure I can keep this a secret.”

“Yes you can, we just won’t do it again.”

“I can’t just forget about it.”

“I know.”

“What’re we gonna do?”

“Nothing for now”

“Okay”

“I’ll just wait until she gets back, then I’ll tell her the truth.”

“Are you sure that’s what you wanna do?”

“It’s what she would want me to do, to tell her the truth no matter how much it’s going to hurt her.”
