Broken Girls with Strange Frames (Ch. 5)
“I…” I started to protest. Bette pressed her lips against the back of my neck. “I was,” I said, putting a hand out on the wall to keep myself from slipping. Bette’s arm came around my waist.
“You were… what?” She kissed me behind the ear. I felt my knees go weak, but her arm was still there to hold me up.
“Uh, trying to make you jealous,” I said quickly.
She chuckled softly, intimately. “That wasn’t so hard, was it?”
No, it wasn’t. I just wasn’t sure if I really had been trying to make her jealous, or if I was just agreeing to what she said, like I often did. I swallowed. “Uh, did it work?”
I could feel her smile. “Yes.”
Well, that was all that mattered then, right?
It must be really hard to just open up a new caf, even if the old one was pretty popular and well-known. Or maybe, especially if the old one was popular and well-known. I won’t say that The Planet on its first day being open was empty, but it wasn’t exactly crowded either.
Which I couldn’t understand because their coffee absolutely blew
“It’s strong and not disgusting,” I said happily, “all at the same time!”
“I think I will take that as a compliment,” said Marina Ferrer, creeping up behind me and speaking in that accent. Well, I mean, I guess she speaks in that accent all the time because it’s her accent, but sometimes I wonder if she just does it to sound hot.
I grinned stupidly at her. “Are you enjoying The Planet?” she wanted to know.
“Yes!” I cried. “We love it!” In my peripheral vision, I think I might have seen Bette rolling her eyes.
“Good.”
“Oh.” I gestured to Bette. “This is my girlfriend, Bette Porter. Bette, this is Marina Ferrer.”
“Nice to meet you,” said
“I have to say,” Bette said, “that I didn’t think anything could top

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
