“Yeah?”
“It’s the most expensive one we’ve looked at.”
“Makes sense to me,” I replied, “since it’s the only one that doesn’t suck.” We walked around the perimeter of the warehouse.
“I don’t think Brenda’s still here,” Bette said, referring to the lady who had shown us the warehouse to begin with and who I had pretended to not notice Bette hitting on.
“Good,” I muttered. She glanced at me. “Uh, good, because it’s distracting when you have someone looming over you, forcing you to make a decision,” I covered quickly. I take it back: I am smooth.
“Well, I’ll give her a call later.” We both got back in the car. “I think this is the one.”
“Really?”
“Yup.”
“Cool.” I leaned back in my seat. “That’s so-what’re you gonna call it? You can name it anything.”
“That’s already been decided,
“Yeah, but what’re you gonna name it?”
“The
I looked at her for a very long time. “Are you kidding?”
“Do I have much of a sense of humor?”
That made me laugh. “I guess not, but Bette? Seriously? That’s such a lame name. Every-”
“You’re ridiculous.”
“No, listen to me. Every art gallery or museum always has a stupid name. Like,
“It’s a museum,” Bette explained, “housing modern art.”
“Do they think we’re stupid? Do they think we wouldn’t figure it out? The only thing they have going for them is that they have a snappy acronym-MOMA.”
“Right.”

“I don’t need one.”
“You so do.”
I couldn’t decide if the glare Bette was shooting at me was playful or serious, but *****, I’m bad at reading that sort of thing. After some thought, she said, “What about the Guggenheim? No snappy acronym, as you say, there.”
“Oh, my God, are you kidding? Why would the Guggenheim need a cool acronym when it’s called the Guggenheim?”

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.
