Jenny went shopping and looked around in the store. She sighed heavily as she looked through the clothes to find something that catches her eye. A woman walked up to the rack and began to look through it. She looked at Jenny and smiled. Jenny smiled back and continued to look through the clothes.

“Hi,” Jenny looked at the redhead.

“Hi.”

“I’m Marley.”

“Jenny.”

“Well Jenny, we just met, and I was wondering if you would like to get a cup of coffee.”

Jenny stopped and looked at the woman. “Is this your way of trying to sleep with me? Because if it is, it’s working.”

Marley smiled. “No, I just wanted the company.”

Jenny nodded. “Okay, I’ll join you.” Marley smiled, and the two women walked out of the store.

            Bette was still unemployed while Tina took care of them. She put in resumes everywhere, but hasn’t received one phone call.  After Tina lost her job at the studio, she got another job with Universal. Bette didn’t like the idea of Tina taking care of her. She was used to being the one always footing the bill and buying nice things. Now, it’s the complete opposite, Bette stays at home cleaning while Tina works. She walked around the house and sighed. She and Tina have a lot of work to do. After Tina had her fling with Henry, she ran back to Bette. She couldn’t stand being with Henry another day. He bored her to death. He wouldn’t experience new things like her and Bette used to do. She wasn’t in love with Henry like she was with Bette. She ended the relationship before it went too far. Bette let Tina back in with open arms, but things haven’t been the same. They talk to each other, but not how they used to. They haven’t slept with each other or slept in the same bed. They’re even seeing a therapist and hoping that things will work out for them. The phone rang, and Bette answered it.

“Hello.”

A deep voice answered. “Is this Bette Porter?”

“Yes it is.”

“Hi Miss Porter, I’m Dean Driscoll of Institute of Arts in Los Angeles. I went over your resume, and I liked what I saw. We have a job opening at the school if you’re still interested.”
