‘Bette…I’m just curious. I mean she is cute and  Shane is her best friend…’

‘Hey guys…it’s ok. Just because Alice asked me I don’t have to answer. But no, Tina is not straight.’

‘Is she single?’

Bette felt like screaming at Alice but at the same time she wanted to hug her. Sometimes she was annoying to no end but she was the best friend Bette could imagine.

Shane looked at Alice, then at Bette where she thought she saw also a glint of curiosity in her eyes and then back to Alice. She smirked and said

‘Yes she is single at the moment’

Shane was right in time to turn back to Bette when she saw a bright smile forming on the brunettes face. Oh well..I think I really am Yoda!

Alice was on a roll

‘So where is she? I mean it is Friday night, girls party at the Planet…Weho’s hottest chicks are here tonight…’

‘I don’t think she will come. She is meeting an old friend tonight’

Bette was disappointed and Alice as well as Shane was able to see it on their faces.

They talked a bit longer until Shane was approached by a red head with an outfit that left little to the imagination. Bette and Alice were left alone.

‘I’m sorry…I thought she would be here. But at least you found out her name, that she is gay and available. That’s good news. Leave the rest to me and I will hook you up!’

‘No Alice you don’t. I mean it was nice of you to…be you and ask all these inappropriate questions but the rest is up to me. You know what…I think I will go home and start the research right now. Do you want me to take you home?’

‘Nah….there is this cute brunette over there. She came with Shane.’

‘Which one? The small one? She looks a bit creepy!’

‘No the taller one with the goofy grin. She looks a bit shy but you know what they say…’

‘What?’

‘Silent waters are deep!’

Alice grinned, hugged Bette goodbye and made her way over to Shane’s friends. Bette stood up, took her purse, went out to her Porsche and drove home.

In the meantime

Somewhere in Los Angeles

Tina was on her way to Bette’s apartment. For her night jobs she used a motorcycle that she stored in a garage nearby.

As she stoped at a red light she looked to her right and saw something that caught her attention immidiatly. Fortunatly she wore a helmet with a black ventail. Because the person that sat only a few meters away from her in an expensive car was no one other than Bette Porter!
