Rating: PG Pairings: Bette/Tina; Marina/Jenny (more later) Feedback: [email protected] Chapter One Shane�s POV I walked into the club and spotted Alice sitting at the bar, terrorizing some innocent girl with her constant chatter and references to the chart. I still can�t believe she put that thing on the Internet. �Shane!� Damn, she spotted me. I lazily made my way across the floor. With Alice�s attention elsewhere, the poor girl quickly got away while she could. Smart girl. �Hey Alice, would you please stop scaring the newbies away before I even get a chance to meet them.� Alice rolled her eyes at me. �I don�t get why people take offense to the chart.� �Maybe they don�t want their love lives posted somewhere anybody and their mother can find them.� �People don�t have to put their names on it,� argued Alice. �I know you don�t care and I asked everyone else.� �What about the people who you put with me and didn�t ask? Hmm? What about them?� �Fine, but I haven�t gotten any e-mails complaining or telling me to take their names off.� �Fine. Where is everyone?� Alice sighed. �Bette and Tina are sitting with Marina over in the corner there,� she said, pointing to the three of them. �And Dana?� Alice glared at me. �What? You always know where all of us are.� Alice sighed again. �Where do you think? She�s out with Lara.� �I still can�t believe it turned out she was gay after all. Good for Dana.� �Yeah, but bad for you.� I looked at Alice and quirked an eyebrow. �Well, you flirted with her and got nothing. You�ve lost your touch.� �Please.� �Come on Shane. When�s the last time you had a date ... or just skipped the date and went right for the sex?� �Okay, I�ll admit it�s been a long time but I haven�t lost my touch.� Alice nodded, wearing a smug look on her face. �Shut up.� Alice just chuckled and took a sip of her drink. She started choking as she looked at the front door. �Are you alright?� �No I am not. Alex Desmond just walked in the door.� I looked at Alice, this moment turning into a clich� movie scene, as Madonna�s �Who�s that Girl?� played over the speakers. �Who?� �You don�t know who Alex Desmond is?� I shook my head and followed Alex with my eyes. She�s beautiful, although not my type. �Oh my god. Alex Desmond is THE hottest thing right now. She does everything. There is no one better then her.� Alice turned around to watch Alex as well. �And now she is walking over to Bette, Tina, Marina and ... Dana? When did she get here?� �I swear you have ADD. I have never known you to stay on one subject, with the exception of the chart, for more then ten minutes.� Alice just shook her head. We had nothing else to say so we sat in silence, watching Alex Desmond, with her dark brown hair up in a sexy bun, make her way over to our friends. |
| Marina�s POV
�Oh. My. God. Alex Desmond just walked in and is making her way towards us.� Bette, Tina, and myself all look towards the door after Dana points to it, as Alex slowly walks to our table. I stood up and waved at her. �Marina, you know her?� �Yes I do.� Alex was finally at our table. I hugged her. �What are you doing here?� She kissed me on both cheeks. �I thought I�d come visit you. I happened to be in the neighborhood for an interview and I haven�t seen you in a long time.� |
| Alice�s POV
�What is Marina doing?� �And you say I have ADD.� Shane glares at me and points back at Marina. �Alice, look at her. Does she not remember what happened when her and Jenny first got together?� I look at Shane. She�s not making any sense whatsoever. �Shane, what the hell are you talking about?� �Look at her!� I look at Marina again as she hugs Alex. �I mean, after what happened with Jenny and Tim don�t you think she shouldn�t be hugging and kissing other girls, especially famous ones?� Ah ha. �So, that�s it. You�re jealous that Marina is getting attention from a celebrity and you�re not. �I am not jealous!� �Sure you�re not Shane.� I stand up and grab my drink. �I�m going to leave you here to wallow in your denial. I want to meet Alex Desmond. Marina obviously knows her.� �Als!� I waved her off without turning around. |
| Dana�s POV
Alex looked at the rest of us at the table just as Alice sat down next to me. �Are you going to introduce me to your friends?� �Oh yeah, of course.� Marina turned to us. �Guys, this is Alex Desmond. She�s my little sister.� �Wow, you�re like my all time favorite singer.� I gush. Oh my god. Did I actually just say that? I blushed as I noticed everyone, including Alex, looking at me. �Really?� I nodded. �Well, thanks.� Marina brought a chair to the table for her and she sat down. �You�re Dana Fairbanks, right?� I nodded. �You�re my favorite tennis player. I�ve seen all your games.� Marina looked between the two of us, quirking an eyebrow as she did. I blushed again and ducked my head, the water circles on the table becoming very interesting. �You�re a singer?� Tina asked. �Are you any good?� Alice looked at Tina with disbelief. �Any good? Tina, haven�t you been reading my mag? We did an article about her last month. She�s one of the best singers of our time.� I watched as Alex blushed and also found something on the table to be very interesting. Alice looked at Bette. �She even donated a bunch of money to the museum.� Bette looked at Alex. �You�re Alexandra Desmond? I�ve seen some of your work. You�re really good.� Alex blushed and quietly said, �Thank you.� �Hey.� I looked up and saw Shane standing next to Alex. Great now, I don�t have any chance with her. �Hey,� Bette said as Alex looked at Shane with mild disdain. Maybe I wouldn�t have had a chance even if Alex had never met Shane. �Shane, this is Alex.� Alex thinly smiled at Shane, who just sat down, completely ignoring her. �So, Dana, how are things going with the chef?� Great. I was hoping no one would bring Lara up. I can�t lie to my friends. I sighed. �We�re over.� �That sucks.� �Thanks Shane.� I slowly put my head on the table. �I�m so freakin� pathetic.� �You�re not pathetic Dana. Its her lost.� Shane stood right back up. She probably doesn�t want to have to deal with my problems right now. �I�ve got to get going. See ya guys.� �Bye Shane,� I said, although it was muffled from my arms being wrapping around my head. Alex then stood up as well. �I should get going too.� �But you just got here,� Alice said. She obviously wants Alex as well. She�s acting the same way she acted towards Jenny. I wonder if Marina knows Alice had hitted on Jenny. �Yeah, its pretty late and I have an early morning. Its nice meeting ya�ll.� �Where are you staying?� Tina asked. �Oh, a hotel just outside the city. It kinda of sucks. I have to get up in,� Alex looked at her watch, �three hours at the latest. Which means I�ll only have an hour to sleep. It takes two hours to get there.� I picked my head up. �You can stay with me.� Everyone stared at me. �I couldn�t do that. We just met.� �Its not like you�re going to be sleeping with me.� OH MY GOD! Where the hell did that come from? �I meant I couldn�t take advantage of your kindness like that.� Is she blushing? �I just wouldn�t feel comfortable. Thank you though.� �Come on. I insist. Any sister of Marina�s is a friend of mine.� �I only have the one sister.� Marina turned to Alex, �And I would invite you to stay with me but my girlfriend gets back in town in an hour which means I have to go. Alex, take Dana up on her offer or the rest of them will offer and all kinds of crap will happen. I�ll see you in the morning.� �See ya Marina. Alex, are you staying with me or what?� �Alex watched Marina leave. �Marina�s right,� Tina spoke up. Alex turned around and looked at her. �If you say no to Dana the rest of us will invite you to stay with us.� Alice and Bette both nodded, not that Bette asking would have been any different then Tina asking, although she could probably be more forceful. �Well, I don�t want to go through this two more times.� She must have picked up on the fact that Bette and Tina are together. �So I thank you now for the offer and this is also my way of saying yes by the way.� �Good. Lets go then so you can get your sleep.� Alex nodded and we left, saying goodbye to the others.� |
| Tina�s POV
�She seemed kind of �� �Stuck up?� finished Alice. I glared at her. �That wasn�t what I was going to say. I was going to say that she seemed kind of uncomfortable around us, like she had something to hide or feel guilty about.� �I know what that was about.� Alice and I looked at Bette. �Alex and I � we kind of � went out in college.� I blanched. �What?� �It was only for a semester, our first semester. Her and I were roommates and � I don�t one thing led to another and we were going out.� �Oh, my, god. I�m linked to Alex Desmond!� �No you are not.� Alice looked at Bette and quirked an eyebrow. �We never got that far. To my best knowledge Alex was still a virgin then and could be even now.� �I highly doubt she�s a thirty-five year old virgin,� Alice said, practically scoffing. �Well, for one thing, Alex is younger than Marina by at least a year. She skipped a grade if not more.� �So, she�s thirty-four. I still don�t think she�s a virgin.� I looked between Alice and Bette, sensing another monogamy discussion coming along. �You know what guys? I�m really tired. You ready to go Bette?� Bette squinted at Alice but nodded. �Great. We�ll see you tomorrow Alice.� �Yeah. Bye you guys.� �Bye Als.� I quickly ushered Bette out the door. �You don�t seem so tired right now.� �Yeah, well, I didn�t want to listen to another monogamy lecture. Alice will never understand so its useless trying.� I turned Bette towards around and kissed her. �I don�t want my girlfriend and one of our friends constantly fighting.� Bette nodded and kissed me. �Lets go home and practice some sexual monogamy.� I looked at Bette, my eyes wide. �What? I can�t have any surprises up my sleeves?� I chuckled and got in the car. Bette closed my door and climbed into the driver�s seat. She looked at me and grinned a grin that made my heart melt and we were off, speeding and running all kinds of red lights to get home as soon as possible. |
