“So Bette tells me that you’re working a new movie” Kelly looked at Tina with her plastered smile.

“Yes, Lez Girls” Tina nodded as she took a sip from her glass of wine.

“You must have a very grueling schedule” Kelly said behind her own wine glass.

“In the beginning it was pretty ghectic, but I’ve learned how to trust those who work around me.  It’s easier for me to delegate the tiny details I used to fret about when I first started in this business” Tina smiled at Bette beside her.  “Kind of like having a whole bunch of James’ at my disposal” this made Bette chuckle as Kelly rolled her eyes.

“I know Bette was never one to delegate” Kelly looked across at Bette and winked.

“I didn’t have James back then” Bette told her “aside from Tina, no one knows me quite as well as he does.”

“Well I’d like to think that we knew each other very well back then” Kelly’s gaze leveled with Bette’s as she took a sip from her wine glass.

“Not the same” Bette told her evenly “no one knows me quite like she does.”  Bette raised Tina’s hand to her lips and placed a chaste kiss on it.  Eric couldn’t help but notice the interaction between Bette and Tina.

“Wow Tina” Eric smiled “head of development that’s great.  I’m so happy for you, the both of you, and from those pictures, a beautiful little girl.”

“Angie is the best thing that’s ever happened to us” Bette said giving Tina’s hand a squeeze.

“Bette is so great with her” Tina said as her phone rang.  “If you’ll excuse me” she said as she got up to answer it.  Bette watched her walk toward the restrooms for privacy.

“So” Bette carefully asked “how do you two know each other?”

“Well its kind of long story” Eric looked at Kelly.

“Just give the short version” Bette’s smile suggested.  Her main concern was Eric’s sudden reappearance in their lives.  When Tina left him, Eric had tried everything in his power to destroy Bette’s reputation, but his efforts proved unsuccessful.  That was why he relocated to New York with his tail tucked between his legs.
