Angels Never Came Down 12
Bette’s lips hardened into a line as she considered the implications of butch-femme roleplaying in the lesbian community. She knew she was unreasonable in her distaste for that whole scene. She knew she would probably be condemned for her contempt. Yet she also knew several other lesbians who felt the same way she did.
In a moment of clarity, she realized that she was used to being mistaken as a straight white woman, at least outside West Hollywood. She took great pains in correcting others who made the mistake, but a part of her, a secret shameful part, was glad. That she could pass if and when she would ever need to.
But that butch woman – Bette observed the shaved head, the men’s shirt and jeans, the Converse sneakers, and the lack of make-up – she certainly would never pass as straight – the small delicate-looking hands, the unmistakably smooth cheek, the gently-bowed lips – she would never fit into any gender category.
Bette frowned at her own thoughts. Then the butch woman pushed away from the wall she was leaning against and started walking towards her.

"This isn’t cool, Max." Tina spoke loudly into her cellphone over the music swelling in the room.
"I know, T, I’m really sorry. But I really need you to come get me."
"My car’s in the shop!"
"What happened?"
"Long story. How the hell am I supposed to get you?"
"I don’t know." Max’s slurrred miserable voice tugged at Tina’s heart.
"Jesus! Okay, I’ll figure something out. Are you okay to stay in that bar for about an hour more?"
"I think so."
"Shit. Fine. Stay there and I’ll come get you."
"Thanks T. I can’t believe what a crappy day it has been."
"Tell me all about it later. Bye."
"Bye." Max’s small voice made Tina feel guilty. She pushed that feeling aside for the moment and ended the call. She needed to find Dana and somehow convince her to let her borrow her car.
She pushed off the wall and started towards the kitchen. On the way, she absently noted a tall brunette glaring at her. What’s her problem? Tina angrily thought.
She suddenly did a double take. She saw the brunette startle and nearly smiled. Oh yeah, the big angry butch dyke’s gonna get you now.

Not liking Bette all that much? Well, at least she’s contemplating the whole issue. To be honest, who doesn’t have some prejudices of their own, some so entrenched that they go unquestioned? Personally, I’m just as confused by the femmes as I am by the butches, don’t understand a need to classify oneself as either top or bottom, but hey! first and foremost I support one living their OWN life in their OWN way. But this group has a fair amount of work left it seems.
I’m not liking Tina and Dana, they are being to conniving for me. I feel sorry for Alice, she shouldn’t give up Bette just because Tina is back.
whoa! wow! and all that!!!! But Alice is right! This is how its supposed to go. Bring it on and soon plz.
This is sad but happy at the same time, feel bad for Alice but now its time for B&T get back together and be happy, Alice and Dana can be together too. Glad to catch up with your story and please post more, thanks!
OMG! What a tangled web! Great update. Thank you.
Wow, Tina with a shaved head……icky.I’m glad Alice has Dana to turn to. Can’t wait to see what happens the next time Bette and Tina cross paths.
wow…i kinda feel sad and hopefull at the same time…this is really such a web and i hope all the characters will be able to get out of it un-hurt and happy
Noooooooo!!! That’s so mean! Darn it, 7, wrench my heart out. Deep breath. Okay. I’m okay. It’s just, that’s so much heartache right there. Dana, Alice, Bette. Especially Alice and Bette. Stupid Tina! And I’m a TIbetter, so that’s hard for me to say. PPS! And Thank you!
*sigh* Judgemental, “passing”, clingy Bette brought low with one moment of recognition. Alice, poor Alice, who’s done nothing wrong but be hopeful about her relationships within a fractured group. Dana, she’s about to get what she wants, isnt’ she? But maybe not *how* she wanted it. Time will tell. And Tina… she seems happy to take for now. Favors, (and, unknowingly) hearts. She better start giving back. We’ll see how this all turns out. To be honest… I can’t wait. I’ve been waiting patiently for this update, so hopefully the next is soon. Thanks 7! :)
OMG, it finally happened. I just can’t imagine what Bette or Tina is thinking at the moment. Hope Bette stays at the party and maybe taks to Tina when she gets back. Gosh this is just so very complicated, hope everything turns out all right for everyone involved. Thanks for posting. PPS
Please please please let them talk and sort it out! Even Alice knows she can’t compete! Thanks for posting and PPS! =)
