Enter Bella: "Hey Bitch"

Choosing to open the gallery early, Seph engrossed herself into the day-to-day operations of owning a small business. As long as she kept herself busy, she could avoid fixating on the lingering memories of her dream. A dream better left forgotten, if she had her way. Nothing good would come of a dinner with an alpha male while she reminisced over being whipped within an inch of her sanity. Even if the fantasy of said whipping made her heart race and her clitoris ache to be touched. But that's all it would ever be, a fantasy. The reality of being left at someone's mercy, quite frankly, scared the hell out of her.

She would meet Lincoln for dinner as she promised and get the evening over with. If it wouldn't be inexcusably rude to cancel their dinner she would have called and cancelled hours ago. But unfortunately, she owed him for last night. Not for him driving her into a lust fogged state. No, she owed him for helping her find her sister. A wayward sister who, thankfully, found her way back home this morning. Thank the heavens for small favors. Seph knew her baby sister was a grown woman capable of making her own decisions, but Sera had a penchant for making all the wrong ones. This sex club, for instance, wasn't exactly one of more intelligent choices.

Common sense told Seph that a club catered to sex held a plethora of risks. Her sister's health not being the least concern. And then there was the matter of Sera's safety. What if one of these sex enthusiasts took their play too far and seriously harmed her sister? What boundaries were in place to ensure her sister didn't get hurt?

A migraine started to build in her temple. "Ugh" She groaned out.

Rubbing her temple Seph decided she should direct these concerns to Lincoln. Maybe he could help her convince Sera that there were more healthy ways to fulfill her need for adventure. For the first time since she woke up, she didn't feel a sense of foreboding for tonight. Driving away her migraine with two aspirins she fished out from her purse, Seph poured herself into her work. As she trudged her way through paperwork, Seph fell into a steady rhythm of productivity.

Unaware of her surroundings, she was startled by the greeting, "Hey bitch." Jerking her head up in surprise, Seph was excited to see her star artist and best friend Bella Revay.

"Hey B! What are you doing here?"

"Just checking to make sure you're moving product" Bella snapped her fingers for emphasis. "Time is money, time is money."

Seph felt all her tension of the day ease as she laughed at Bella's antics. "Come on B. Why are you here?"

Bella shrugged. "I was in the neighborhood. What? I can't surprise my girl at work?"

Seph gave her an unconvinced stare.

"Okay, fine." Bella gave an exaggerated sigh. "I came to see if you'd come out dancing with me tonight. I met this guy and he wants me to bring a friend for his friend."

"Nuh-uh. I don't do set ups B. You know that."

"Come on bitch! You need to get laid! When was the last time you got some anyway? Nine months ago? Ten?" Bella stared hard at Seph, her eyes proclaiming she wouldn't take any prisoners.

Grabbing onto the nearest life preserver Seph said, "I've got plans tonight! Can't B."

Nonplussed, Bella replied, "What plans?"

"Just dinner with this guy I met. Don't get excited, I owe him a favor."

Bella grinned, "Oh! You owe him a favor, huh?" Her eyebrows wagged in an exaggerated fashion. "Are you going to repay him that favor all night long?" She winked at Seph.

"Belladonna Cecilea Revay! What the hell!" Despite her raised voice, Seph couldn't control the laughter that filtered into her words. "I'm not going to sleep with him. Chill B."

"So, who's the guy?" Bella had entered full best friend mode. Seph knew she would have to appease her friend's curiosity or Bella would hassle her all day.

"His name is Lincoln. I met him last night when I was dancing with Sera."

Bella quickly interjected, "Wait! You bitches went out last night and you didn't invite me? What the hell?"

"Chill B. We just went out the other night. I can go out with Sera and still be your friend you know."

Bella lifted her head and affected an exaggerated sniff. "Fine. Fuck you."

The two locked eyes and stared each other down for a few seconds before breaking into a fit of giggles.

Through a fit of laughter Seph forced out, "To hell with you."

"Love you too." Bella chuckled.

Bella wiped a tear from her eye and took a few deep breaths to compose herself. "So, who's this Lincoln guy?"

"He's no one, really. He helped me hunt down Sera while she was being, well, Sera." Seph stared knowingly at Bella.

Nodding in agreement Bella simply replied, "Gotcha."

Gaining a second wind in her curiosity, Bella inquired, "But is he hot?"

"He's alright." Seph attempted to undersell his looks in an effort to dissuade Bella's interrogation.

"Oh. If you get bored of your charity case then come out with me. I promise to find you a guy better than 'alright'." She raised her eyebrows suggestively at Seph.

Seph couldn't help but laugh at her ridiculous friend. "No promises. I'll text you if I need an adventure."

"'Kay girl, I'm gonna head home and paint my rent. Later bitch!" With a wave of farewell, she exited the gallery.

Still grinning, Seph checked the time on her phone. She still had time to grab a bite to eat for lunch, have a talk with her handful of a sister, and make herself slightly better than presentable. After going over the agenda for the day with her assistant, she finalized her paperwork and headed to her favorite deli. Once she had two turkey sandwiches on rye, Sera's favorite, she turned towards home.
