Bayou Sunset – Bette
As part of my unspoken, but instantaneous demotion from captain to lowly deckhand, I’ve been left with closing up for the night, and the promise of a cold drink when I’m finished. Trust me, I’d like to be finished.
”Where are the rest of the fucking people who work around here?” I ask aloud to no one in earshot, and certainly not my mother or Nellie. They wandered off with the tourists ten minutes ago.
I stick my neck under the cold stream of water spurting out of cooler number three, that I had dragged off the boat a minute ago. ”Oh my God, finally.” My temperature begins to drop, and lying prone on the pier, with rivulets of cold water running over me, I feel the X in relax.
Peeling back my bandage, my slightly crusty stab wound is throbbing at the moment from all my lifting and twisting, and the thought of a pain pill I don’t have slides across my mind. Even with the concern on Tina’s face, while Miss Laredo poured a single malt Scotch over my bleeding gash to sterilize it, there was a silent agreement between us – opting for under the radar barroom surgery meant no police report, and that was the only way to go.
My ears suddenly tune to the sound — somewhere inside this creaking boathouse — of an old refrigerator coming alive.
”If there’s a God, there’s cold beer in it.” And with that hope, wincing as I rise up from the dock, I begin to hunt it down.
”I have the same bad habit,” says the crisp British accent of a blonde headed woman, who appears around the corner of the boathouse.
She nods at my stab wound. ”Of making enemies.”
Startled, I drop my shirt and frown at her suspiciously. ”Any beer in the fridge?”
She unlatches the ancient door. ”Two vastly different choices, PBR or Banks’s ale from England.”
”Banks. Never had one.”
We lean against the boathouse and watch the sun going down. Finally, she breaks the silence and leans over to shake my hand, ”Call me, Savoy.”
”Bette Porter.” I notice her warm strong grip. ”Nellie walked off, calling something back about battening down for the night. I improvised.”

Yes! Update! This is getting more complicated for Bette? What the heck Savoy wants for Bette to do?
And Tina. Is there trouble in the horizon for her? Gambling problem for Aaron? Damn!
Thanks for the update BB.
It leaves me wanting more, especially now we have an ‘English Rose’ in there :-)
Don’t make me wait too long for the next post !
Hmm, what the hell Bette landed in? The story has so many twist, it keeps you captivated.
Hope there will be not trouble for Tina and her job.
Thanks for the update!
Sounds like Tina and Bette are in for some trouble. Enjoyed it
Trouble? Not really. But things to discover. Principally, I’m interested in your thoughts on Savoy, and the other cast of characters you met at the Dinner Party. I’m writing and beta testing a longer story here, with The L Word cast of characters, for a film script. The screenplay, (beta testing here in prose) will feature the strong female leads I’ve introduced, and an unfolding environmental theme that’s dramatically set in an environment both beautiful, but with a tragic past.
I’d enjoy hearing what you think.

MARY asked BETTE to come to her.BETTE meets NELLIE who is being poisoned by someone,SAVOY is a whistleblower on the run,the MAYOR’s son is in jail,the MAYOR’s wife is eating herself into an early grave and now MARY wants BETTE to entertain SAVOY(who hasn’t met TINA yet)who talks about BP(british petroleum)with GATOR and oil spills.Very twisty but entertaining especially if Aaron is gambling the movie away and ALICE wants to know about ms psycho.continue please

Absolutely nailed it! How involved can Bette get with this issue, she’s got Tina and Angelica to consider, how risky will this be? Also, what’s happening with the film. Bette and Tina have already been through so much, can they both deal with these new challenges together? Roll on the next installment…
Blackbird… Always a hidden gem! An ode to NYFW? The iconic Iris Apfel? In the last chapter, too ! Whoa Nellie! ! Very nice touch!
I am an admirer of these amazing photos
you put to accompany this story,
I must confess that I saved a few on my computer.
I hope Bette return home soon.
The entire constellation.
Bette does return in the next story – The Good Sister – https://lesfan.com/?p=92437
Please enjoy! Blackbird

This chapter has left me in so many directions with questions: Politics; gambling problems; Tina’s sister;
Shane’s mother; BP oil flow causing copiousness environmental problems; spark my interest in Bette’s mother’s abundance of money…The new character Savoy fits her name to perfection wonder where she
will lead us; can’t see Bette obliging her mother getting it on with her…again you have plenty of material here to continue keeping the readers anxious awaiting for the next chapter…#GreatJob…
