“I was an art student before I got kicked out for being to open minded and mouthy.  I have an opinion, and some people didn’t like that.”  Justin explained with a slight pout.

            “Well I like you mouthy, specially in certain places…”  Brian pulled Justin away towards the bathrooms excusing them quickly.  Bette cringed, not sure she wanted to know what was going on in that stall in a few minutes. 

            “Bette?”  Kit tapped her little sister on the shoulder, and Bette hugged her.  Bette grinned, relieved that Ivan wasn’t in costume this evening.  The dotting husband, made Bette cringe.  Her blonde hair was loose and she was wearing a denim outfit.

            “We have something to tell you…”  Kit started, but her voice failed her; knowing that Bette was going to freak out.  She shuffled her feet, seeing the waiter passing out drinks.  She almost reached for one, but Ivan grabbed her hand first before she could.

            “I’ll tell her baby.  We are getting married.”  Bette stood, shocked and speechless.  Kit hugged her again, and the shell shock look remained on her face. 

            “You’re what?”  Bette snapped out of it, and her eyes fixing on Shane across the floor.  She was flirting with a very good looking woman, sashaying close to her, turning on the old Shane charm.  She wondered what was going on, had something happened between Shane and Sam?  She turned and saw Tina and Sam still deep in conversation.  Her heart flashed with envy again, biting down on it like a hot pepper.

            “Married as in wife and…”  Kit stopped short, biting her lip.

            “Husband.”  Finished Ivan, the smile she wore on her face hadn’t worn off from the moment that Kit had said yes.  Bette kept her cool, she forced a smile and kissing Kit on the cheek.  She wasn’t going to judge she told herself, don’t judge, they aren’t married yet.  Things can change quickly as she was seeing right now.

            “As long as you are happy, ok doll?”  Bette said, excusing herself because she saw one of the board member’s waving frantically to her as he saw a guest eating a jell-O shot off a waitresses flat belly a she lay on the bar.

            This night was just getting worse.
