For the next hour, they then moved on to other paintings, commenting on all of them. Enjoying each others company.

Alice: Well it seems that the two of you have become good friends. So what have you two been up to? asked Alice as she and Mac walked up to them.

Tina: Just getting a quick art lesson. Tina said as she looked at Bette and smiled.

Bette: Very easy when you have someone with such an open mind. Said Bette returning the smile.

Mac: Well its almost midnight and we have an early morning tomorrow. Are you ready to go Tina?

Tina: Uh, yeah. It was really nice meeting you Alice. And I truly had a wonderful evening discovering the art world. Said Tina as she looked back at Bette.

Bette: It was delightful. If you ever need a refresher course, Im here anytime.

Tina: I might just take you up on that. Well, Ill be seeing you then. Good night you two. Said Tina as she turned towards Mac.

Mac: Yeah, see ya Bette and Alice. Mac said as he led Tina towards the door.

Bette quietly looked on, watching until she could Tina no more. She for a while reflecting on the events of the evening.

Alice: Are you done yet? Because I wanna know what the ***** that was about. I have never seen you act like that. What the ***** was that? exclaimed Alice as she bombarded Bette with questions.

Bette: I dont know. I just dont know. Ive never felt an attraction so intense before. No, its more than attraction, more like internal combustion. I just dont know. It was amazing.

Alice: Well it certainly had better been, since I have spent the last hour listening to corny jokes about strippers from Mac. But I did manage to do a little scouting. So it wasnt all a bust. Said Alice with a satisfied look on her face.

Bette: About Tina? What did you find out? Tell me.

Alice: Hold on Tonto, I only found out the bare essentials. Ms. Tina Kennard is 23, works as a script editor, originally from Detroit, MI, lives here is good ole West Hollywood and from the local report is very straight. Said Alice looking very pleased with herself.
