They finished their shopping and stealing and headed back to the hotel just at time for dinner, saying goodbye to Keanu. At the main dinner all the eight ladies sat together in a round table and ordered their food.
"I'll have the chicken salad please" said Tammy with her sweet-suburban-all goodie-mom smile
"Make that two please" said Lou
"Yes of course" Tammy said loosing the smile and almost in a whisper
"What did you say?" Answered the Australian feeling her anger rising up
"Nothing, just saying that you obviously wanted the same thing as I did since you clearly take everything that is mine"
"Oh I'm sorry" said Lou laughing "I was not aware that chicken salad belonged to you" she said mockingly
"It does not belong to me exactly but it is my dish, I always order it and I have for years, I met the chicken salad way before you did and have been eating it for way longer than you have, but know of course you want it , right, yeah" Tammy said loosing her temper completely
"Well you can't just claim chicken salad, like is all yours and never to be eaten by anyone else, it doesn't matter if the chicken salad wasn't in Australia therefore you had it and I didn't but ever since I met the chicken salad I have liked it and now I get too eat it and you are just going to have to suck it up" Lou said moving her hands in the air and looking at Tammy's face become red just like her own
Rose was with her fork in her mouth and her eyes wide open, completely confuse about what was happening, holding on to Daphne's arm. "My god I didn't know chicken salad was so important for people, am I the only one just learning this right now?" Said Rose in her innocent accent
"Oh no sweets I don't think is about the chinchen salad, I think is more one of those sister fight where one always copies the other one, you know with both being blonds and stuff they get jealous over that stuff" said Daphne
"Don't be stupid Daphne" interrupted Amita, all this while the two blonds still argued "it's obviously not about the chicken salad, it's about Debbie"
They all "ah" in understanding of the situation and Debbie said "enough you too, what the hell is going on? Have you two gone completely of the rail? Firstly I am none of yours, yes I may be with Lou now but that doesn't make me hers, and Tammy I haven't been "your chicken salad" for a very long time so quit it" she said and they all stayed quite, "I don't fucking know what is going on with you two but I won't deal with it right now. I am going to my room" she said standing up and leaving angry and let down.
Debbie ran to her room in anger and shut the door hard enough to make the whole building shake, she sat in the bed with an urge to scream but instead decided to cope in her favorite way, by working.
Meanwhile down stairs silence had overcome the table when Debbie left the way she did, all five of the girls out of the drama where looking down while eating their food with out making a noise, and Lou and Tam where looking away from each other in anger.
"I'll go talk to her" Tammy said breaking the silence
"No" Lou replayed very angry still "I will go talk to her and you will not speak to her anytime soon" Not leaving time for Tammy to answer she stood up and left.
Tammy was left speechless and mad at the table, she threw her cloth napkins on the table and said "agh who does she think she is" and left as the others the table dramatically
"Damn" said nine "what a telenovela"
Upstairs Lou made it to the room and entered quickly. "Deb Deb"
Debbie did not answered and kept typing on her computer
"Hey Debbie, talk to me"
Still no answered
"Oh wow real mature of you ignoring me"
Debbie took a deep long breath while she stoped typing and looked and Lou and said "mature? You want to talk about mature after what you did down there?"
"Debbie I am sorry about what happened down there, I never meant for it to sound like I was saying you where my object or anything like that, also I am sorry for making a scene"
"So are we fucking clear on the fact that I am not your property?" She said like an angry mom
"Yes ma'am" Lou said nicely "except when I am fucking you" she said devilish
Debbie roller her eyes and smiled
"But Deb I would really like an apology too" Lou said serious
"What?"
"An apology"
"What for?"
"Well after everything that Tammy has been saying lately and everything that she said down there, you didn't defend me once, you never said too her that you are with me and that she can't claim you, you never defended our relationship, not once"
Debbie didn't say a word she just looked at her and said "are you fucking serious"
"Yes Deborah I am"
"Oh so we are in Deborah now?"
"I can't do this right now" Lou said turning around too leave the room
"Do what?" Debbie reached for her wrist
"This where you turn everything into a big joke or not a serious matter, and you just invalidate my feeling and act cocky. Okay you are not always right Debbie, and this is one of those situations where you need to get your head out of your ass and think about other people and stop being selfish and act like a spoiled girl, this is probably why your relationship don't work, right here, cause you are incapable of feelings, you could at least have some compassion for me but no, you are just cold and selfish" Lou said very angry and irritated with tears almost running out of her eyes
Debbie was shocked, she never expected those words to come out of the mouth of the women she loved the most in this world, she let go of her wrist as tears started making her vision foggy and in a heart beat the blond left the room closing the door on the brunettes face.
Heat was still clouding Lou's eyes as she closed the door but with every passing second the fog passed and she started realizing just what she had done. Her heart broke as she remembered the face of Debbie as she tore her heart with her words. She let herself fall in the floor, grabbing her knees and holding them to her chest not caring about the people passing through the hallway and starring. Lou let her anger dissolve until all she felt was guilt. She quickly gathered herself and wiped the tears that had slowly formed in her eyes. The blond walked to the room's door but her heart quickly dropped to her feet as she overheard a conversation happening on the other side of the door.
"No Tams it's okay don't worry I'm fine" said Debbie to Tammy through the phone "yes don't worry honey I'll be fine. Yes. Yes. Okay I'll call you if anything happens"
"Debs?" Said Lou as she shyly entered the room with her heart about to crumble.
"Leave" said the brunette with a shaky voice but with her head up high
"Is Tammy going to come in here to comfort you as soon as I leave?" The question filled with pain, anger and fear
With a heavy heart and knifes in her words Debbie said "perhaps"
Lou just looked at her while trying to contain her tears and left the room.
