“Why? What happened?” Jenny furrowed her brows, looking at the two for an explanation. Tina glared at Bette while the brunette shrugged sheepishly.

“An overzealous dancing horn dog ripped my dress.” Tina seethed. Bette coughed beside her.

“My bad.” Bette mumbled, absentmindedly stroking her left cheek.

“Is that..” Sam leaned forward and pointed at Bette’s face. “..another love bite?” She laughed as she eyed the red mark on her best friend’s cheek. Tina wore a smug expression as Bette sulked in place.

“I wish.” Bette breathed out, eyeing the blonde through the corner of her eyes. “She pinched my cheek to death.” She pointed an accusatory finger at Tina. “And on my birthday too..” She pouted and crossed her arms on her chest. “I said I was sorry but she didn’t listen. And now my face hurts so bad.” She whined dramatically as Tina shot her a look.

“Aww.. poor Bette..” Helena played along, her eyes dancing around the two in amusement. “I bet Tina  will have a change of heart and make the pain go away..” She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. The blonde shook her head violently in protest.

Shane laughed, looking as Bette exhaled loudly in disappointment. “Don’t worry Bette.” She smirked as she downed the last of her drink. “I bet someone will make it all better with a kiss or two within the next few minutes.” She winked and nodded towards the stage. Paul van Dyk just finished his set and was now waving at the crowd. He took the mic and greeted Bette one last time before he made his exit.

“Is it time?” Bette smiled, looking at Shane knowingly. The other girls on the table, with the exception of Sam, looked at the two in confusion as Shane chuckled silently to herself.

“It is.” Shane grinned from ear to ear. Discreetly, she eyed the entertainment crew that was fixing the stage for the next act. She gave a slight nod to a sweat drenched Alice as she made her way back towards them from the dance floor.

“Whew.” Alice exhaled as she plopped down on her seat. “That was fun.” She exclaimed wearily, gulping down every last drop of water inside her glass. “But fuck, I am so exhausted.” She fanned herself with her hands as she slumped back on her seat.
