Broken Girls with Strange Frames (Ch. 5)
As she joined me in the shower, though, I realized I had successfully pulled it off, yet again.
“Look,” she said, ducking under the showerhead and wetting her hair. “If you want croissants, I’ll buy you croissants.”
“Uh, thanks,” I said dryly.
“But you can’t possibly see the logic in trying to convince me to go somewhere by telling me that you think the girl who owns it is hot.”
“Why?” I asked. “I was just trying to see what you thought.” This was partially true. The other part was that I have a tendency to say exactly what’s on my mind and what happened to be on my mind for the past couple of days was that
“See what I thought? You were trying to make me jealous.”
“No,” I said. “I wasn’t.”
She gave me an annoyed look. “That’s so petty,
“I-” I looked up at her. “Ugh. That is so not what I am doing.”
“It is,” Bette disagreed. I moved aside to let her rinse her hair.
“No, it isn’t.”
“Yes.”
“No. I was pretty good about the fact that after you slept with me, there were at least three girls who were hanging around you and that you barely did anything to deter them. I mean, that’s obviously the kind of relationship you want to have.”
Bette rolled her eyes. “You’re turning this around.” She wiped some soapy suds off the bridge of my nose with one finger.
“Bette, I’m not.”
“You are. Turn around.”
Huh? What was she trying to prove? “I… won’t. No.”
She smiled at me. “Turn around. You need conditioner.”
“Oh.” I turned around.
“
This wasn’t fair. I’d agree to anything when someone was washing my hair. I’m like, a hair-*****.

Oh. My. Goddess.
I love your fic.
You definitely rock and rule! Keep it up, Rachel!
Fun, fun, fun! I so enjoy these two together. This feels like I am getting a glimpse into ‘pre-Bette’. Sort of like her formative years. Or at least before she became the Bette everyone else knows. Alice is killing me in her histrionic righteousness. More, please.
Is it my imagination, or is this getting better with each chapter? And the first was great. I love Alice’s ‘voice’. It’s just dead on. And as for Bette’s characterisation, it’s amazing. It was a really nice touch that she doesn’t like people to be angry with her. It just gives her that touch of vulnerability that makes her so devastating. And her solution of steam-rollering Alice into saying something untrue is just really typical Bette. I say again this is fantastic.
I never could quite see Alice and Bette together…until now!!! Thanks for this ‘most interesting’ glimpse into their past relationship!!
Parallel universe, parallel universe. Intriguing parallel universe.
Is it possible that there’s another group of TLW fans, enjoying this story (instead of the crap-tastic ones of S2)on their pay channels in a parallel universe?
Are our worlds starting to converge?
Is this the ‘good news’ we were told to expect? Evidence for the existence God?
Can we get this one on Showtime, in our lifetimes???
Any physicists in the house???
Einstein’s theory of light? Will you all be gone before this can reach you to read this? Anyone???
WOW damm girl that was a shit load of reading but I’m caught up now. I’m really enjoying this story.
My gods the characterization in this fiction is spot on! Not only that, but you’ve mangaged to add depth that I’m sure Ilene doesn’t even see in these characters or perhaps forgot about with season two. Nice one, I’m dying for more and I’ve only found this series an hour ago! Great story I cannot wait for more. Count me as a die hard fan.
its a great story and i love it u have the characters so dead on and i like seeing this other version of bette its very intriguing (however the hell u spell it) and i cant wait for the next chapter!! it’ll also be very interesting to see how u bring every1 else into the story!!
Ok I am so hooked and this line has me in love: I’m like, a hair-whore. More please lets keep this pace going….*yeah*
Great story, hope you spam the site like mad! :D
