“Bette?”  Tina called out causing Bette to abruptly get up.

“Tina” Bette said a little breathlessly.  “Kelly came by unexpectedly” she explained but Kelly cut her off.

“Bette just offered me a glass of wine and I accidentally dropped it” Kelly gave an unapologetic look, “clumsy me.”

“Get your ass off my dining table” Tina said with authority causing Kelly to jump off the table.  “Where’s Angie?”  She looked at Bette.

“Sleeping” Bette replied nervously “she’s been asleep since you left.”

“And you came over to” Tina looked at Kelly to complete her sentence.

“I came over to try to convince Bette one last time to change her mind” Kelly said looking at Bette who had finished sweeping the glass off the floor.  “I almost had her.”

“No she didn’t” Bette stood in front of Tina with the dustpan and broom and looked pleadingly at her.  Tina only nodded that she believed her then tilted her head so she could see Kelly.

“I believe Bette already gave you and the CAC her answer” Tina finally smiled at Kelly.  “What part of ‘no’ did you not understand?”

“She’s missing a great opportunity” Kelly reasoned her voice getting a little louder than before.

“Keep your voice down” Bette said after she returned from the kitchen “our daughter is asleep.”

“And that’s another thing” Kelly started pacing not changing the volume of her voice, “the kid isn’t yours.  She’s Tina’s kid and you don’t have to stay with them.”

“That’s it, no one talks about Angie like that” Tina had heard enough.  She walked up to Kelly and stomped on her foot causing the Amazon Barbie to bellow out in pain.  Bette ssh’ed Kelly before Angie heard the ruckus, but Tina stopped the yelping by kneeing her in the stomach.  “You need to get the fuck out of our house” Tina grabbed a fist full of hair and pulled the huffing woman out through the front door.  “Bette said no, so I suggest you take that as her final answer” she said as she watched Kelly wincing in pain walked back to her car.  “And the next time you come over uninvited, you’ll be leaving in an ambulance.”  Tina saw the glazed look in Bette’s eyes then turned around and said to Kelly “And the next time you make a move on my girl, you’ll be leaving in a hearse.”
