Chapter Four: Knight’s Rider

Alice: Um. You can let go now, Bette.

Bette finally let go and Alice leaned in to whisper.

Alice: Remember Bette. We saw them first. They’re off limits.

The conversations were causal and sweet around the dinner table. Tina really adores the three girls. They were very funny she thought unlike Bette who kept staring at her with fierce eyes. The tension did not go unnoticed by the other girls at the table.

Tina: Well girls. Dinner was great, but we have to get going.

Angel: Yes, we do. Thank you for the dinner.

Alice: Wait a minute! You have plans?

Tina: Um, not really, we were thinking of going dancing.

Alice is giving Tina her best sad eyes.

Alice: Can we come with?

Tina chuckles and turns to Angel.

Angel: Of course, we just thought maybe you had other plans.

Shane/Dana: Nope.

Angel: Well then. Should we pay and go?

Alice: Check please!

Tina could still feel Bette watching her. She finally turns to the brunette and spoke to her directly since their initial greeting.

Tina: Are you coming with us Bette? Or is it bedtime for you?

Angel: Tina. Play nice.

Tina: I am.

Bette chuckles.

Bette: It’s okay, Angel. I think Tina’s just afraid.

Tina: Afraid of what?

Bette: To dance in front of me.

Tina sarcastically laughs.

Tina: The only thing that I’m afraid of is you breaking your hips.

Bette: Let’s go then.

Shane and Dana turn to each other and carefully whisper their defeat.

Shane: I think Bette wants Tina.

Dana: I think Tina wants Bette.

Shane: We still have Angel, at least.

They smiled and followed the other girls out while Alice shamelessly tag along Tina’s side.

Shane/Dana: She’s hopeless.

Alice: It’s packed. Thank goodness, we found a table.

They ordered their drinks and watch sea of people bumping into each other.

Shane: Would you like to dance, Angel?

Angel: Sure thing, Shane!

Dana: Wait. Can I join?
