“Careful, Alice. ” Was all that Carmen said. Alice opened her mouth again, but stopped when Dana kicked her under the table.

“Ouch! What the fuck? That hurt Dana.” Alice rubbed her shin.

“Now you know how it feels.” Dana grinned a little too widely if you asked Alice.

“Shane wait a second.” Zo caught Shane by the arm. She let go instantly when she saw the icy look on Shane’s face.

“She didn’t mean it the way it came out. You know that. She’s just worried about you and a little buzzed.” Zo said quietly, looking directly into Shane’s eyes. “She’s your friend and she loves you.”

The ice seemed to melt in Shane’s green eyes and hurt replaced it. She finally nodded. “I know, I’m just having a hard time. Listen, I have to get out of here anyway. Eve is going to be waiting for me. Nice shirt by the way.”

“Thanks, I thought you might dig it. All right, I’ll call you later.” Zo smiled softly; looking down at her Batgirl hooded t-shirt and then back up at her friend. Shane nodded and left laughing lightly.

“God, I thought they were never going to move on.” Dana said sighing loudly.

“I thought they were good.” Jenny said.

Billie took the last gulp of her margarita and then cleared her throat. “I’m gonna take off guys. Dinner waswell it was dinner.”

She stood up and pushed in her chair, walking toward the exit. Billie seemed to decide something and turned around. Her brown eyes looked down at Jenny, who was playing with her food.

“Jenny?” Billie’s voice said.

The small beauty looked up and she seemed confused.

“Do you want to come with me? We can go have a drink at Velvet’s.” Billie was so calm and patient, as Jenny tried to figure out if what she just heard really just happened. Carmen, Alice and Dana stared at Jenny.

“Jenny, I think this is where you answer.” Carmen said leaning towards her.

“Huh? Oh I’m sorry! Sure.” She smiled shyly at Billie.

“Good.” Billie smirked and waited as Jenny smoothed down the light blue cotton thin dress she was wearing and joined Billie. “Good night ladies.”

Billie turned and offered Jenny her hand. She took it immediately and let Billie lead her out of the restaurant. Jenny turned around to look at the girls excitedly. They waved back to her and watched as Zo passed the two. The pixie nodded to Billie and winked at Jenny. When she sat down, Zo stared at the others.

“What was that?” she asked.

Alice smiled. “Billie gave Jenny the time of day.”

Zo chuckled. “About fucking time.”
