Chapter 1

A place for everything, thought Bette as she set her briefcase on the kitchen table and slipped off her suit coat. A place for everything, and everything in its”
Wait a minute.
Where was her letter opener?
It was supposed to be right there, on the kitchen table, next to the flower vase. Here she was, with the days mail in hand, and no letter opener. Who the ***** had moved the damn letter opener?
She searched the whole table. Not there. She bent down to look under the table. Not there either. Bette stood up, straightened her shirt and sighed loudly. Where the ***** is the letter opener?!. Bette looked around. She decided to give up searching. She threw the mail onto the table and went into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and stood there for a while. She stared into it. Theres nothing for her to eat except for a carton of beer and grossly looking bread. She took a can of beer and closes the fridge door.
Nothing good on TV, Bette thought. She kept flickering the channels while sipping the beer. Her finger was pressing on the remote but Bette wasnt focus on the TV in front of her. She puts down the remote with the beer still in the other hand, and looks at her watch. Its only 6:30 p.m. She gulped down the rest of the remaining drop left inside the can, got up and grabbed her coat.

[2 days earlier]
The Planet was packed. Girls; and some guys too were all over the place. Music was blaring real loud. People were grinding against each other together with the music. Alice and Shane were sitting at a table, facing the bar. Alice was focusing at the new bartender. Whos the hot new bartender? asked Alice, still not releasing her focus. Shane looks up. She smiled. I have no idea, but Im going to go there and ask her myself. She gave a cheeky grin. Alice rolls her eyes. Yeah, you go and do that! Shane got up from her seat and walked towards the bar. The bartender was busy making drinks and talking to the customers. Shane stood in front of her. The girl hadnt notice her. Shane decided to just stood there and looked at the girl. She had long, straight, brunette hair. Her eyes were crystal-clear gray. She had rosy cheeks but you can tell that she wasnt wearing any make-up. Shane just couldnt stop looking at her. The girl was smiling to a customer. Then she turned and faces Shane. She looked at Shane and smiled. Yes, can I help you? Shane was startled from her gaze. Hey, Im Shane. Shane extended her hand and the girl smiled and complied. I just wanted to say Hi and welcome you to the Planet. The girl nodded and laughs slightly. Shane smiled and walked back towards where Alice was sitting. So? Shane sat beside her. So what? as she took a drink. Alice looked at her, astonished. So, did you get her name or what? Shane just shrugged. I just introduced myself and told her that shes welcomed to the Planet. And she didnt tell you whats her name? asked Alice. Nope. Great! Maybe the employees here should have name tags so we would know! said Alice sounded a little exasperated. Shane just smiled. Whats with you and wanting to know her name? Nothing! I just think shes cute! Right. And what about Dana? Alice looked confused. What about Dana? Shane realized what she had just said and she decided to ignore Alice. What, what, what? Nothing.
Speaking of Dana, she had just walked in, alone. She sat down with Shane and Alice. She sighed loudly. Whats up with you? asked Alice. Tonya and I had a fight. Alice looked at Dana and arched her brow. She decided to have a live band for our wedding where I just want music. Thats it? You guys were fighting about that? asked Alice. Dana nodded. Alice rolled her eyes. Just then, Tonya came up behind Dana. Hey sweetie! Im so sorry about just now! I guess I was just over-reacting! as she gave Dana a huge hug. Dana turned around and said, Its ok baby, I understand. Look, if you want to have a live band, then well get a live band ok? Tonya looked at her and gave Dana a kiss. Alice and Shane were feeling kind of disgusted. Shane looked away but Alice was still looking. A tint of jealousy creep up on her. She looked away and suddenly, Oh my GOD! Kit is heading this way! And look whos with her! Everyone looked up and saw Kit walking towards them together with the new bartender. Alice brushes her hair a little with her hands. how do I look? Tonya, Dana and Shane ignored her. Hey guys! says Kit. Hey! everyone smiled at Kit but they were looking at the girl beside her. Kit realizes this and said, Oh yea, let me introduce you to a new family of the Planet. Guys, meet Alex. Alex, meet Alice, Shane, Dana and Tonya! Alex smiled. Hey! Im new here so bear with me! The gang laughed even though it wasnt that funny. They smiled and still didnt take their eyes of her, especially Shane. But Alex looks uninterested. She turned towards Dana. Hey, arent you Dana Fairbanks? Dana looks a little embarrassed and grinned gawkily. Yes she is and shes soon to be my wife! interrupted Tonya. Oh? Congratulations! Alex extended her hand. Hey, why dont you sit down and join us? asked Alice. HmmI dont think thats a good idea. Lady boss here might not like it. Alex turned to look at Kit who seems to be distracted. Huh? What? Oh, dont worry about it. Why dont you take a break? Cindy could take over for a while. Alex shrugged. Okay. She grabbed a chair and sat with the gang. Well, if you guys will excuse me. Kit walked back towards the distraction.
So, where are you from Alex? asked Alice. Everyone looked at her. Uh-uh, here goes the journalist. Alice didnt like the remark from Tonya but she ignores her. Well, Im from San Francisco. Everyone nodded. So what brings you here then? asked Shane. Again, Shane just stared at her and again, Alex looks uninterested. Well, I thought it would be great to have a change of environment. Its great in San Francisco, but its getting a little boring there! Alex explained. Hey, can I ask you a question? asked Tonya. Yeah, sure. Are you *****? Everyone was shocked at Tonyas abrupt question. Alex laughed. Excuse me? Why? Do I look like one? Tonya shrugged. Alex looked at the rest of the girls. The girls were looking at her, waiting for her to answer. Well, you dont have to be a good cook to appreciate good food do you? Dana looks confused. Alice, Shane and Tonya totally understood what Alex was trying to say. Alex suddenly stood up. Well, I think Id better get back to work. Nice to meet you guys! She winked and smiled and walks towards the bar. All the girls looked disappointed.

Bette didnt know where she was going. She just kept on driving until she came upon a club. She stepped into the club. She doesnt know whether its a ***** club or not. She doesnt care. She walked up to the bar and ordered a drink. The bartender handed her drink, vodka on the rocks. As Bette sips her drink, her eyes wander around. Then her eyes fell upon another curious looking eyes, looking at her. The woman smiled at her and gave a toast. Bette smiled back. As time goes by and lots of vodka consumed, Bette was busy looking at the woman and vice-versa. Bette finishes her drink in one gulp and stood up. She took off her jacket at placed it on the chair. She walked towards the woman. Bette smiled flirtatiously, You wanna dance?

Inside a big and empty house, two women where busy engaging in serious foreplay. One of the woman had her back against the wall. The other woman was kissing her hungrily. Moaning and gasping could be heard from them. Bette was breathing heavily. She was with the woman at the club. The woman pinned her against the wall and said, God, youre so ***** *****! Bette smiled cheekily and kissed the woman hard. She bit her lower lip. Bette pushes the woman onto the bed and stood on top of her. She looked at the woman. She was looking right through her. She started to caress the womans face. She reminded her of someone. She looked at the woman one more time and starts to unbutton her own shirt. She threw her shirt on the floor. The woman smiled at her.
