    In The Beginning – Form As A Work of Art Chapter 5

    Chapter 5
    Bette breaks up with Alice
    Saturaday afternoon 

    ‘I have got to get this over with’ thought Bette looking at her office phone.
    Bette had made to the art gallery on time just as she promised James she would the night before. She’s sitting at her desk looking at the phone in between working on the invoices. “It’s not going to dial itself” She thought. She picks up the receiver taking a deep breath and dials Alice’s cell number. Ring, ring, ring. “Hello! Hot babes R Us how may I help you?” Alice answers.

    “Excuse me?”

    “You don’t get it? ‘Us’ we’re hot babes. Forget it Porter you have no sense of humor at times. So I think I’ll go out and buy you one.”

    “Okay, Alice just don‘t put it on layway. Alice…?”

    “Yes?”

    “Al, I need you to come by the gallery today if your available.”

    “Well, actually I’m not available, at least not today. What’s up? “

    “I need to talk to you about something.”

    “What I do now?” Alice says, thinking maybe Bette found the frame she knocked down at Bette’s house, the one she super glued back together last week.

    “You didn’t do anything Alice. I just need to talk to you as soon as you have time.”

    “Time, now you have time for me huh?”

    “Well the opening is done with but the artist dinner is still in the works. So my time has freed up quite a bit.”

    “Wow, I finally get some of your undivided attention” Alice says happily

    “You could say that. When can I see you Al?”

    “How about tomorrow afternoon. About…… 12:30?”

    “Sounds good. I’ll pick lunch, pick you up and we can sit and talk.”

    “Sure thing Porter, tomorrow then.” ‘maybe she wants to talk about hauling’ Alice thinks

    “Bye Alice”

    “See Ya, Ms P.”

    Bette hangs the phone up puffs up her cheeks and releases a heavy breath. ‘Okay the first part is done. Too bad the next part won’t be that easy. I wonder how she’ll react.’

    Sunday about 11:30 AM

    Bette texts Alice
    Alice are up and ready?

    Five minutes later Alice texts back
    I’ll be in about 30 mins just call me when u r outside and I’ll meet u @ the curb.

    1. hey that was a good chapter and it really didn’t need any drama.anyway now that bette is a free woman she can go after Tina. PPS cheers

    2. I thought Bette dumped girls all the time???? I can just see Alice talking to herself, that’s priceless. OK, one down, one to go. Let’s see how Bette goes after Ms. Tina Kennard. Great update.

    3. I love the comical spin you put on things (ie the Dagwood, Alice’s 3 minutes, etc) and am with you – low kinda drama gal myself! I love the bond between these two…but of course, love the bond between B&T a tad more (happy sigh). Enjoy a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    4. brwnsuga: In this story Bette never had a steady girlfriend before Alice. I didn’t say that she never broke anybody’s heart. :) Of course a ‘player’ is going to break many a heart. But Alice she cared about.

    5. Great update Journey and a fabulous conversation between Bette and Alice…just the right amount of humour mixed with drama. Just a note on your comment though…the show NEVER depicted Bette as a player…it is the fan fics that have done that. We really know nothing of Bette before Tina. PPS!

    6. toby4ever: The ‘player’ comment I was thinking about what Tina said that Kelly said about her in Season six about being a player. But I could see Bette as being a woman so driven that she didn’t have time to ‘do’ relationships. I wasn’t thinking player as in someone who just uses people. Just someone who would never commit to one person for whatever reason.
