“I’m going to die an old, lonely lady” I pout as I sit down at Kit’s kitchen with my plate of Chinese food.

Kit chucked, “Baby girl, you’re beautiful. You don’t have to worry about finding someone.”

“Finding someone isn’t what I’m worried about, Kit. Keeping someone is where I’m having trouble.”

“You just haven’t found the right person, that’s all.”

“Kit, come on, I’m 32 years old, most people are married with children by now” I say before I shove a pile of rice in my mouth.

That’s what I do when I’m depressed. I eat. A lot.

“Pft, I was 40 by the time I was married. Not everyone gets married and has kids at a young age.”

I look down at my plate of food and move some pieces of chicken around with my fork. “I suppose you’re right.”

“And hey, if it makes you feel any better, there were two blondes who were checking you out at The Planet yesterday.” She says taking a seat across from me.

I laughed, “Oh really?”

“Hell yeah, I mean, come on it’s been what? Two months since you and Jodi broke up? They were good looking too. I think they lliiikkeee you” she teased.

“Hm.”

“They were there today too, I think they were disappointed that you weren’t there.”

I rolled my eyes. “Were they really checking me out?” I asked just being curious.

“Would I make something like this up?”

“Ok well there was this one girl I saw there yesterday who I thought was really cute.”

Kit smiled. “See! There ya go!”

“I’m probably not her type though. Plus I think she was with the other girl she was with.”

“You never know, Bette. Maybe she’ll be there tonight. It’s girls night, remember?”

“Yeah I doubt it.”

“Hello neighbor!!” Shane screams as she walks in the door.

I come out from the kitchen, “Why hello there” I say giving her a hug.

“Wow you look hot, Bette!”

“As do you” I must say she did look very…. Shane.

“Thanks. Hey where’s Kit?”

“Oh she’s already there.

“She bringing Jimmy?”

“Shane I don’t think married women will be bringing their husbands to girls night” I said with a smile on my face.
