Broken Girls with Strange Frames (Ch. 7)
“Oh.” Kyle raised his eyebrows in a way that can only be described as salacious. “Bette, huh? Nice to meet you.”
On the television, Darrin Stephens’s ears had grown to triple their normal size and on an entirely emotional level, I felt for him.
“Uh… right, is Spencer around?”
“Oh, yeah. I told him you might be coming around with her today and so he’s been in our room for like, hours, trying to assemble the perfect portfolio. I’ll, uh…” Kyle stood. “I’ll get him.”
“And some clothes. Would be nice.”
“Yeah.” He disappeared into his and Spencer’s bedroom. At which point, the awkward silence commenced. Bette paced around silently, her hands placed elegantly in the pockets of her jeans.
“It’s a nice… place,” she finally said.
“Oh, thanks.” Samantha Stephens was twitching her nose, which I think is so cute.
Just when the awkward silence was becoming almost unbearable, Kyle re-emerged, wearing clothes and trailed by Spencer, who was carrying his portfolio and wearing a suit.
Like, a jacket and tie. The part that really bugs me is that he tries to pretend he’s the normal one.
I introduced Bette and Spencer and he started showing her his portfolio. Considering that I’d seen it about fifty-billion times, I found this to be incredibly boring and joined Kyle on the couch. Leave it to Beaver was coming on any minute and I planned to be around for that.
“Hey,” Kyle whispered and then gestured to Bette with his spoon. “You gonna hit it again?”
I rolled my eyes. “No.”
“Why?”
“Because.”
“Oh, my God,” he said sarcastically. “That is such a good reason.”
“She’s-we’re friends.”
“Oh, okay. That’s cool. Because you don’t sleep with your friends.”
“I don’t.” I don’t. I didn’t.
“Listen.” Kyle put his feet up on the coffee table. “Nicky stopped by today.”
“Okay, well, I don’t know who Nicky is, so…”
“Nicky. Nick. The landlord.”
“Oh.”
“I call him Nicky.”
“I see, okay.”
“And he wants rent. And I told him we’re a little short and to give us a little time. He didn’t seem happy. But look, I ran into Bobby what’s-his-name the other day-”

Oh God am I first? This is too much responsibility. Okay… fantastic, funny insightful, funny. If I didn’t already adore Bette and Alice then this would be the clincher.
So looking forward to Alice’s moving in. But why do I think that Al moving in with Bette would be more likely to cause death than dating?
Ooh, well! Look at that. I’m the first one. Yay me. I have to say, no matter when you finished this, it is simply fantastic. I’ve honestly never been that much of a fan of Alice’s, but in this fic, I absolutely love her. It’s so funny, with these two, they’re complete opposites – such an Odd Couple, Bette and Alice – but their little clashes are just so funny and charming. It’s nice to see some Bette fic around here that isn’t BnTforeveraneveranever. And even nicer to see someone who’s open-minded enough to consider the possibilities of exploring other relationships between the characters.
So, um… given any thought to writing any Shane fic, yet? lol
Well, I would have been the first comment, but I’m notoriously long-winded… *grumbles* Apologies.
I only just finished commenting on your last chapter, and I get to read the next one. I like that! I really like the way you write; and from the earlier chapters, I love it that you get all the little details right (but I’ll stop there in case I start sounding like Spencer).
I’ve just read this again and split my shorts reading this line:
“On the television, Darrin Stephens’s ears had grown to triple their normal size and on an entirely emotional level, I felt for him.”
That’s worth the price of admission alone. Why can’t they write like this on the show? Dammit why can’t Jenny write like this?
I wonder which one will snap first??
can’t wait to read about it
Alice spins a great yarn! Who knew? She should be a writer!
Oh. Nevermind…
So, when Bette tells Alice that they “only dated for 6 weeks” in season two…was she really only referring to living together? Alice thoughts bounce around quicker than a hockey puck on ice.
