The group's POV
Looking at the door where Shane had just left Jenny spotted a girl similar to Shane's description of Kassy. Jenny reached over and nudged Betta and pointed at the door. "Hey is that Kassy?". The others turned and looked as well.
"Um. I don't know. We should find out." They continued to watch Kassy.
"She seems nice." Helena observed. "We should invite her over."
"And if she's not?" Bette argued back.
"Then I'm gonna get a date." Jenny grinned "Kassy!" she shouted waving at the girl to join them when she looked over.
"Do I know you?" Kassy question when she'd reached the table.
"Not yet but do sit down. We're friends of Shane."
"Um ok. Do you know where she is?" Kassy asked while taking a seat in Shane's vacated chair.
"Just left but she'll get back." Jenny said quickly. "So tell us about yourself.
"Um ok. I'm a photographer, live alone having just moved to L.A. Born in England and attended Oxford. I'm 28. Everyone that knows me knows I'm gay. I don't have any scary ex's and I'm not a psycho." Kassy finished with a smirk knowing what the questioning was about. "Is that it?"
"Um yeah that's fine but…"
"I really like Shane. I don't intend to hurt her but I'm betting if I do I can expect a world of pain right?"
"Yeah you should" Jenny confirmed sharply.
"Look guys I really do care about her and I want to make a good impression on all of you but give it time. Get to know me properly. I promise I have no hidden secrets." Kassy finished with a soft smile.
"I like her." Helena finally stated after a long moments silence as they all absorbed what had been said.
"We have to go but wait here. Shane will be back very soon." Jenny stood motioning the others to stand. After quick goodbyes they rushed out leaving a very confused Kassy.
Bette and Tina
"So do you really think Shane is falling or just having a really long one-night-stand." Tina asked as they were undressing for bed.
"I don't know but I think benefit of the doubt is the best option just now. Give it time."
"It was weird giving Kassy the stare down."
"I know it felt so strange maybe cause it was for Shane." Bette replied.
"Yeah she usually leads these." Tina mumbled through a yawn.
"Goodnight sweetie."
"Night." shutting off the lights Tina snuggled closer to Bette sighing contently.
Carmen and Jenny.
"I can't believe she fell in love. I mean seriously why now? Why did she have to grow up now?"
"Babe I'm trying to cheer you up and your just making yourself more upset." Jenny whined jumping off Carmen and grabbing her clothes.
"What? Jenny I'm sorry. Please come back to bed."
"Why? You're with me yet you keep talking like you want her back." Jenny said coldly moving back when Carmen reached for her.
"Jenny please. I need you to listen and let me speak. I feel in love for the first time with her and when she left me at the alter like that it hurt me so badly. It just pains me to see her being so mature now but I want you. Please don't ever doubt that. It's funny something she said before is just clicking now as true for us as well. She told me she never felt for me what she feels for Kassy and now looking into your eyes I see that to be true for us also. I never felt this deeply about Shane I just thought I did. Baby you're my soul mate. Will you marry me?"
"Yes!" Jenny rushed out before being pulled onto the bed. Carmen's mouth covering hers as she rid her of the clothes she had just put on. Screams of joy were called out multiple times through the night as they showed each other just how deeply their feelings ran.
