A weak chuckle trickled from tight lips. “I um…I just came by to say that I …..”
“You what Shane?” Alice interrupted. Get to the fucking point.
“I saw Gabby last night and she’s probably going to call you.”
Alice didn’t say anything. Her eyes remained locked on a row of neatly displayed compositions of ‘I Am Happy When’ Italicized thoughts rushed through a busy mind as varying emotions zoomed through the speedway of her soul. Punctuated warnings to pause or stop were boldly ignored. A newly created run-on sentence wrapped around Alice’s mind many times over. In an attempt to ignore the feelings overtaking her, she focused once again on her kid’s compositions.
This one was written by Simon. He’s happy when he burps and his mom thinks it’s his sister. Silly guy. I bet he’s going to be a scientist or something.
And Emma wrote that one. She’s happy when she looks in the mirror and likes what she sees. Poor kid. She’s already concerned about body image at age 7. What the fuck?
Alice verbalized her next thought. “I am happy when… Gabby is far, far away.”
Silence entered the room and made itself at home.
“Al?”
“Yep?”
“I think she’s moving back to LA.”
Alice whispered her response because her voice had suddenly disappeared. “Oh yeah?”
“I just wanted you to know so…well, so you could think about how you’d handle seeing her again. And since news travels fast, I didn’t want you to be totally shocked.”
Alice’s voice quivered and transformed into something light, breezy and unrecognizable. “Great. Well, thanks for the heads-up Shane. I’ll be sure and keep that in mind k?” Alice moved from the edge of her desk and sat in one of the miniature chairs across the room. Shane did the same.
They held each others gaze for awhile before an obviously shaken Alice decided to speak. “My life finally has some semblance of normalcy you know? I’m starting to feel ‘big’ again. I’m no longer some pathetic little psychopath that everyone feels sorry for.” Alice sucked her teeth before continuing.
“It’s hard to explain.” You are not going to sit here and cry Alice. Don’t do it. Alice pinched herself on the arm. Ouch. “I have a great job,” Alice smiled at her own serious delivery. “Well, its great most days,” she robotically surveyed the bright, roomy space. “Isn’t this a fantastic classroom Shane?” Alice swept her hand demonstratively in front of her. “Look at all the super cool things my kids do.” Shane did as she was told before nodding in agreement.

Im so glad your writing again you have such a fantastic way with words it feels like im there. Poor Alice , Poor Bette, bloody Gabby(mmmm guin turner) Bette needs to get her ass over to Alices and grovel then listen to her girlfriend who needs to fall apart for a few hours then take her mind off it all. I wait to see where you take us with anticipation. Post soon
omg, I love your bette, well the first half of the chapter anyway…She’s way to alpha nasty in the latter…Love the story, not sure about where it’s going….can’t we stay in happy happy land….at least say for….30 chapters. Really, that would be nice, especially your happy land!!!! sigh…
Once again I do the happy dance and grin – and once again the story does not dissapoint. I am already so into this story. Anxiously awaiting the next installment.
Greenie,You’ve got the skills, girl. The dialogue is superb, just spot on. Bette is just alpha, she’s nasty. Alice just wants Bette to listen and tell Alice that she has nothing to worry about w/Gabby cos she and Al are together. Al needs reassurance but Bette is somewhat insecure as well and selfish. But sexy as hell. PPS. this is very enjoyable.
Multiple emotions in this chapter. The beginning was happy and sexy with Alice saying to hell with being on time and making time for Bette. Alice and Shane in the classroom was sad because it seems like Alice is trying really hard but is easily swayed to a bad place with the news of Gabby’s return. And at the end, disappointment evolving into anger with Bette going on and on about her major faux pas with the art critic. Sure we all have moments where it’s all about us and we need to rant, but then she cut off Alice after asking about her day, and then that night she zoned out while on the phone. Man Bette really did look like an asshole in this chapter. lol
Uh…yeah Greentea…this memo just came in for Bette: 1)True – heartbreak may be on the horizon for you. 2)True – It may be Gabby induced…but it also may be having your head up your ass induced. Listen, as opposed to hearing, Bette! I once dated someone who communicated to me over the phone that they’d like to take a cruise. Well I decided to tune out the conversation and when I finally tuned back in and realized that I had been asked a question, my answer was, “Absolutely!” That inattentive “absolutely!” that I uttered had me paying for a cruise…for two. I’m just trying to help a sista’ out, Bette. Greentea, a virtual high-5 to you for yet another stellar chapter. No doubt I’m awaiting the next one
TINA WHERE THE HELL ARE U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am being scared for life here lol yeah al go back to gabby like yesterday 5 PAGES LONGER
“A gentle kiss on flowering lips” is this where the story title,” Flower Power” generated from…hmmm? I feel bad for Alice. Bette is all wrapped up in her own little “art dillema” that she isn’t there to support Alice with her insecurity about Gabby. Lucky for Alice that Shane is a good listener…she is going to need her to deal with Gabby’s return. Bette maybe HOT, but Hotness shouldn’t be confused with the word RELATIONSHIP. PPS.
hey gt! im glad you posted tonite,and it took ya long enough..loloh wheres our special lady laurel..p.p.s.
wow, another miracle happened and we didn’t have to wait a year for chapter 2 LOL…well, bette is behaving just like she was with tina sometimes, i guess tina did change her some if they were together 7 years and not 6 weeks like alice and bette…anyway, i love alice, i really do but is it wrong of me to wish for tina to appear really really soon? LOL until she does, i will read to see how alice will deal with gabby who was such a bad ass in a good way…did i mentioned how happy i am that you’re back :)
hey greenie! great chapter. I can only assume that Bette is being portrayed as a bit of an asshole in order to dramatize to difference between bette prior to meeting Tina, and how she is after? so do as you must missy, you know im always game for your tales.
I love Alice but not as much as I love Tina so Bette hopefully will be meeting her soul mate soon.
its delicious. staying up just to read. oh those damn little things called communicatin and listening. where would we be if we did it in our relationships. ;)thanks sweetie.
Bye Alice – Hello Tina :o))
For some reason, my first comment did not post a moment ago. So I’ll say again, while Bette is more than a little annoying in this chapter, I really HOPE a Bette and Tina relationship is not in the future. :)
Ohhhh I can’t belive you’re back “doing the happy dance” but B & A – what are you thinking……..ohh mann and I’m sitting here drunk reading you strory after a chrismas lunch – jesus. And then you pull this on me :O) but wonderfull to see you back. Post soon
Oh damn this is bad, but hope Bette and Tina will meet soon and bye Alice!
Wonderful chapter greentea! Love the way you write. Now where is T …
I just love it when Bette yells “FUCK” and it’s always a true pleasure to your one of your posts.
