Ok…Alice says after taking a big drink of water… Music check…Food…What’s our ideas for food? I mean I’m sure your parents’ kitchen isn’t big enough to accommodate the food.

No it’s not. So what?  Have it catered in from a local restaurant? She looks back at Bette…

Mmmmm I don’t know.

Mmmm…Dana raises her hand. I think I may have an idea.

Alice looks at her…What, you know a catering company?

No not exactly but I do know a chef.

Who pray tell? Alice puts her hands on her hips questioning her

At the club she’s the chef there. Her name’s…

HER name?

Yeah. She’s Lauren, a red head. She fixes all my meals when I’m there. She’s great and she does catering with another guy.

Well well…sounds like you know this chef pretty good. Alice says with an annoyed look

No we just talk sometimes when she goes on break.

Alice is fuming. Really? Just how many breaks do you two take?

Alice, they’re just friends. Chill …Bette says sternly. Dana could you talk with her and get a number. We could call her and see if this is something she could do?

Oh I have her number…Dana pulls out her phone and Alice throws the papers down that was in her hand and storms out.

Alice. Shane says running after her.

Shit! Dana says then looks at Brie and Kit…Sorry.

You’re allowed to have friends dear…Brie says patting her leg. Dana hands her phone to Bette to write down the number.

Alice stop!

Why? My girlfriend is flirting with her chef. Am I the only one to see that?

Alice she is just friends. Don’t you have friends you talk to?

Yes but I don’t light up like a Christmas tree talking about them!

Alice I didn’t see that. I think maybe you’re reading too much into it.

Shane she’s at that damn club all the time. Alice has her arms crossed and looks hurt when Dana walks out. Shane and her make eye contact and Shane leaves them alone.

Alice what is wrong with you?

You…and the chef… Alice does quote marks with her fingers.

There is no me and the chef Alice!

So why is she taking her breaks with you?

Geez Alice you say that like I would be the least interesting person that anyone would want to talk to. Dana turns and walks back inside. Dana picks up her purse. Sorry guys I have to get to training and I will let Lauren know you are going to call. This has been fun. She leans in and hugs Tina.

I’ll walk you out. Tina starts to get up. No don’t. I’m good. I’ll talk to you later ok?

Ok Dane. Bye.

See you guys later…she leaves.

Fuck Alice what did you say to her? Bette asks walking out to find Alice who was walking back into the kitchen. Alice what did you say to her?

Nothing!

Alice!!!!

I’m not sure. I asked why the chef would be taking her breaks with her…then she spouted something about not being interesting enough to have a break with or something…

Oh Alice…Bette knowing what Dana was upset about but Alice was not seeing what she had done.

What? I just don’t get why this chef wants to have her breaks with my girlfriend and don’t tell me if some woman wanted to have lunch with Tina you wouldn’t be upset.

No Alice I wouldn’t if she told me it was just friends. I would believe her. You don’t trust Dana?

Yes sure I do…Fuck! …. Ughhh…Where is she?

She left. She went to train. Alice you keep this up and you will push her into someone else’s arms. You want that?

No!…then go talk to her.

What about the wedding plans?

You have covered just about everything. We can finish up and fill you in.

Ok…

But Al…

Yeah Alice stops and turns around.

May I suggest going home and changing first.

Alice looks down. Oh I guess I should huh?

Yeah I would Bette whispers with a smile. Alice says her goodbyes and Bette goes on with the next thing on Alice’s list.
