Noticing the silence from Bette’s end, Sam looked back at her bestfriend and fought the urge to shake her head in disapproval. Standing like a complete moron in front of the girl you like is not the way to impress her, she inwardly chastised the brunette. Though it was evil, sometimes Bette needed a big push to get her to start working. And push.. is just what I will do, Sam smiled mischievously. "Hi Tina.." Sam stepped in front of the bashful blonde. "You look beautiful.." She grinned, leaning forward to kiss Tina on the cheek.

That woke up the mighty Bette Porter in an instant. Finding unknown strength, she suddenly lunged forward and grabbed the back of Sam’s dress, yanking her bestfriend away before she could even kiss Tina. "Hi Shane.. Alice.. Kennard." She smiled, refusing to relinquish her death grip on Sam’s dress. "Nice to see you guys." She smiled sweetly at the three. "The party’s starting to fill up with guests, why don’t you go around and mingle?" She looked pointedly at Alice and Shane.

"Yes boss!" Getting the hint, an obedient Shane and Alice answered at the same time, turning to leave their friends alone. They waved at a silent Tina goodbye before disappearing into the living room below.

"Sammy, I’m sorry, I believe I haven’t greeted you yet.." Bette smiled at her bestfriend, leaning closer for a half-hug. "You’re doing it again buddy.." She whispered menacingly as soon as her lips were near Sam’s ear. "Fifteen feet. Keep that in mind." She growled before she pulled back, a saccharine smile plastered on her face.

Sam smiled inwardly, seeing just how well her little scheme worked. Good luck Bette, she grinned and reached out for Helena’s hand, don’t screw up. "Well, I’m going to take the woman of the night to her waiting audience.." She said, beginning to lead Helena away from Bette and Tina. "We’ll see you guys later.." She waved at the two.

"Thanks for coming Tina.." Helena said over her shoulder as Sam continued to lead her away. "And Bette?" She looked at the brunette and smiled wickedly. "I want you to escort her around all night. Make her feel comfortable alright?" She winked at the girl before turning back.
