“I was your best friend and I fell in love with you when you had your breasts, I was your ex-girlfriend/best friend secretly in love with you without your breasts.  This” Alice pushed the book away, “was me supporting you and what you wanted, but now that you don’t want it anymore, I’m done with it.”  Dana leaned in and kissed her then leaned her forehead against Alice’s.

“I love you” Dana mouthed.

“I love you too” Alice gave her a quick peck “let’s go home.”  Dana and Alice left the office the way they came in, hand in hand.

“Tasha, its Bette listen Monique just emailed me that the guy who was a suspect for the robbery at The Planet just turned up dead” Bette said into her phone.  There was a long pause.

“Yes I know” Bette waited then replied “I know but it was too long and important to text.”  A ten second pause then “Good, okay, thanks bye” Bette pushed end, threw her phone on the bed then exited their bedroom to find Tina and Angie in the kitchen.  “All right who’s ready for some finger painting?”

“No finger painting tonight Momma B” Tina told her excitedly.

“What?”  Bette pouted as she watched Tina and Angie mix up some doughy substance in a bowl.  “What are we doing then?”  She looked at them humorously.

“We’re baking cookies” Tina said excitedly then Angie, who sitting in high chair mixing her batch, raised her hands up.

“Yay!”  Angie said then clapped her little hands that stuck together due to the gooey dough.  She was about to lick her hands in her mouth but Bette stopped her attempt causing the little girl to laugh because she got caught.

“No, no, no, no baby.  Here” Bette picked her up then went to the sink where she rinsed and dried out her tiny hands before placing her back in her chair.  Angie pouted when she saw Bette take her bowl of cookie dough away.  “Let Momma B help you” Bette’s heart broke when she realized that she was taking Angie’s fun away.  “Here” Bette said placing the bowl back in front of Angie and letting her mix up the dough with a spoon this time, “but no eating.”
