The ringing of Bettes cell phone interrupted their conversation; she looked up apologetically at Tina as she answered the call.

Bette Porter.

Bette! Holy ***** who was that hottie you were with! Alice squealed out as fast as she could.

Bettes heart sank, pissed as ***** that Alice and her phone call had brought her back down to Earth. She didnt know quite what to say.

Porter! Are you deaf, you didnt tell me you were seeing anyone, I guess that explains why youve been in hiding for weeks.

Tina squished her straw around in the frozen drink hitting a chunk of fruit; she laughed and looked up at Bette to she if she noticed.

Bette laughed and smiled at Tina before returning to Alice, Look I will be in available to discuss this tomorrow, I will need to be in the office for awhile anyways.

Holy *****! You are with her now arent you! You so OWE ME Porter! Alice giggled.

Owed her what she wasnt quite sure, Right well, just have those ready for me tomorrow, with that she closed the flap on her phone.

T, Im sorry

Is everything alright? Tina interjected.

Yeah just some paperwork and things that has to be in place before Friday. Bette said quickly.

Oh, well as long as things are okay, Tina smiled and returned to her drink.

More than fine Tina, things are starting to be great, Bette said smiling.

Another half hour finished off their evening, as they walked out all the eyes followed them. Bette guided Tina out the door and onto the dimly lit streets. The chill in the air made them realize how long they had been locked away from reality.

Geeze, where did this breeze come from? Tina stay over there, I will bring the car around, with that she was gone.

Tina watched her disappear and went back to shivering a bit. That drink must have had some different kind of something in it, I have never felt this way. Maybe it is because I never get out anymore, well out at all

Her thoughts stopped when Bette pulled up to her, she opened Tinas door from the inside and pushed it lightly out to her. Tina got in and the women were off again. Most of their ride was silent as they drove back to Tinas car.
