“He’d be the first, wouldn’t he?” said Spencer, grinning. I gave him my dirtiest look and stood, putting my plate in the sink.
“I need to shower.”
“Oh, before I forget.” Spencer grabbed the notepad he insists on keeping by the phone and handed me the top sheet. “Your mother called-”
“Ugh.”
“And your mail’s by the door.”
“Thanks.”
I tossed the note about my mother calling in the trash; she’d call again. I sorted through my mail and finally found a letter from
I opened it. “*****.”
“What?” Kyle poked his head over my shoulder. “Oh. That sucks, sweetie.”
“It does suck. *****.”
“What sucks?” Spencer asked.
“Uh…” I waved the letter from
“*****, you’re kidding.”
“No.” I mean, how funny would that be anyway?
“Was that the one about the bikinis?” Kyle asked, taking the letter from me and reading it.
“Yeah,” I said, amused at his summation. “It was the one about bikinis.”
“I can’t believe they don’t want to publish that!” he cried. “I love bikinis!”
“Uh, Al.” Spencer joined us by the door, drying his hands on a towel. “You were sort of counting on that check, weren’t you? I mean, to pay the rent?”
I sighed and leaned back against the wall. *****. “Yeah.”
“Are you expecting anything from anywhere else anytime soon?” His extremely urgent tone of voice both annoyed and sort of terrified me.
“Not immediately,” I said. “I was really counting on that check.”
Spencer and Kyle shared a look. I tossed the envelope I was holding onto the table. “Okay, I know what you guys are thinking and-”
“It’s just, I’d be more than happy to make up the difference,” Spencer said, “I’m sure Kyle would, too-”
“Totally.”
“-but I don’t have that much money. I mean, I’m scraping around for rent, too.”
“Maybe we need to consider getting another roommate again,” Kyle said. “I mean-”
“There’s no way we can have four people living here,” I said. “Nuh uh. I mean, you guys already share a room and there’s no way-who would be desperate enough to move into a ***** two-bedroom with us?”

That was really funny – In fact I’m glad all my co-workers have gone home because I just fell off my chair laughing. Great chapter and thirding what techgal said.
Simply sublime!
Alice’s running commentary is just so insightful, for both of them. This quiet, sometimes introspective Bette is interesting to watch unfold. You are blending the quirky and the sophisticated nicely.
Dude u crack me up!
This is solid gold stuff, I only just like started readin it and I like read all of it, just now and man have u like got Alice down or wot!
Well Done u!
rofl. Its just so Alice. :D
You have NOO idea how much these posts & your story is keeping me entertaned at the moment!! I love them!! Please keep them coming!! x
this is great…love the little alice-logue running through her brain.
This Bette is coming across as a highly intelligent, cultured, slighly self-involved woman with a soul. Her thoughfulness of others, with Kit, Spencer and Alice shines through. She’s no Johnny one-note. Alice’s narration is a perfect vehicle for revealing her complexity.
I want to be in this story. It’s so interesting and real!
BTW, I take back my Cher comment…
damm the three amigos plus bette, funny stuff.
Moving in with bette that’s a huge step, glad alice didn’t coke again
Oh my god, I was like laughing my head off all along, this is such a great story!!
I have no troubles at all imagining them like that there when they were younger.
Good job!
xxx

LMAO! You’ve got Alice down to a T – I’m lovin’ it.
