Fit for Battle
The sharp edges of the trailer’s counter tops catch my attention and my Gypsy scar itches. I rub it against the cushions behind me. Going in and out of trailers all day long I can’t help myself. I think about Allsweld. And wouldn’t you know it? Nikki Stevens, the film’s star? A dead fucking ringer for my long dead cousin, Lucy. It’s just right in my face again and again all day long. But I had to cast Nikki. There was no way around it. Every time I look at her I control my urge to vomit. I let out a jagged sigh. Bette doesn’t know about Nikki either.
I remember a time during a winter holiday that I had lied to Bette about my jagged scar. We were by the fire on quilts and Indian blankets in that incredible big log house up on Big Bear. And it’s not that she hadn’t mentioned it as she’d licked past before, but I’d always been quick to deflect the need for an answer with a sigh or a lick of my own, but that afternoon – with the stillness around us, the quiet mountain air outside dampened by the snowfall, the long stream of delicious red wine she had poured into crystal goblets – she had lulled and enraptured me. I’d hesitated when she’d asked.
I remember deeply loving her, and the fire, and her body everywhere all over me and so warm against my skin. I’d almost told her the truth but that horrible story – it would have completely broken our beautiful moment. That’s what that cursed scar does. It kidnaps me.
I’d distracted her and fed her grapes and told her I loved her until I’d put the bowl away and had shown her instead.
I don’t mind a good blow-by-blow recap after a particularly great night in bed. Maybe finish off the wine and get in the mood all over again. And she’s absolutely used it with great effect to do exactly that. But every once in awhile she’ll become obsessed with talking about orgasms. I don’t know what the fuck gets into her. But more than once I’ve had to blow out the candles and put the pillow over my head and yell, ”Quit! I can’t talk about this anymore. You’re wearing my fucking mind out!”

Got to love Joyce as she “reJoyces” in Bette’s misery!! Lol!! Awesome chapter!! ;)
Tension heating up! Lots of memories swirling for Tina. I hope she can get her head around her feelings for Bette. Is Bette thinking similarly of Tina when not swarmed with gossip? Maybe her weekend in Big. Bear will help shed some light for her that Tina is the only person for her. Love the writing! Thank you!
I really love your stories and the way you write. and I must say it was a good chapter.
I need an oil picture of Bette ;)
Tina totally confused in her feelings toward Bette. and this is what I hated the show as well. because postpartum depression could not be explained with this.
There were times when I just yelled in myself that, “they have a decision, they want each other or not” :)
If Tina wants Bette back, she should be honest with herself and to Bette.
maybe afraid from the love, but I think, to live in limbo much worse :)
I’m looking forward to the next chapter!
Joyce is a hoot. Poor stressed out Bette. Loved it, thanks
This chapter was outlandishly wonderful. Jane Lynch was perfect in the role of Joyce Wishnia. Bette never wanted to go to Big Bear w/Jodie. She probably realized that Jodie was not a good fit w/her. She so badly wanted to succeed in one personal relationship that she tried to give up her core values to mold herself to Jodie. Didn’t work and really never had a chance. Tina’s the one, the only one for Bette. Bette was outrageously great as she blew her cool while speaking to Tina and James. Terrific chapter.
Brilliant! What more can I say? Brilliant!
Bette the matchmaker? …:p classy!
