I know and I apologized for that.

But then you did it again tonight.

I did not…

Did too. You were shunning her when we came back to the table.  I was shunning you Alice snapped back.

Well that’s not how I took it nor did Dana.

Ohhhhh Ggahhh…Jesus…alright alright…I know I have handled this all wrong.

You’re damn right you have…

Oh like you haven’t juggled more than one woman around.

Yes but I wasn’t in a relationship with them. I was merely fucking around and they knew there were no strings. You on the other hand have been and still are until you get this all out in the open. Fix it!

Fine I’ll tell her now. You go in and send her out. I might be needing a ride home tonight.

Ok…Bette turns and leaves not believing what Alice had just told her.

She takes a seat at the table. Dana is now nursing a beer.

What did you do with her? Dana asked.

I left her outside she wants to talk to you.

Right now!

Yeah Bette was trying to not look at her as she answered her.

You know what it’s about, don’t you? Why she has been acting so crazy lately.

Just go talk to her. Please. Bette looks her in the eyes this time. She has something to say and you need to hear it.

Ok she goes to get up and Bette points to Dana’s beer…take that with you.

Dana just looks at her and grabs her beer. Unbelievable.

Where’s Shane? Tina points to the DJ box.

So what’s up? Is it going to be bad?

It will if Alice doesn’t do it right.

Do what right?

Break up with Dana.

What? Why?

Get this, she met someone.

You’re kidding!…the way she was acting all jealous at the house?

Yeah she was covering up. I think hoping for a fight.

What so she could blame it on poor Dana?

Yeah she’s a coward. I think if Lauren hadn’t come into Dana’s life Alice would have dated this new girl behind her back.

NO!

Yeah trying to be the old me.

Tina looks at her, you would do that?

Not how she’s doing it. I didn’t do relationships but I could keep two or three going at once.

I believe you could…Bette smiles…but why?

Just for a thrill I guess. Shane has had her fair share of juggling too.

Wow you LA lesbians know how to swing…

Bette laughs. Us LA lesbians?

Yeah everywhere else us lesbians take’em one at a time.

Well I do too now…

You better…Tina says smiling at Bette. She knew who buttered her bread and Bette was not going looking for crumbs anywhere else.

Trust me there is only one hot piece of tail I want and it’s yours. Bette leans in and kisses her on the lips.
