“Look Al. I’m really sorry for the way I treated you yesterday. I feel terrible.”
“You should, “ Alice snapped.
Bette was prepared for such a response and continued speaking. “When you called me at work, I just started venting my frustration without any regard for you Al.” A shameful expression skated across an otherwise attractive face.
“And when I should have been available to hear what was going on with you, I wasn’t.” Bette released a pissed-off puff of air before continuing.
“And then last night, not only did I interrupt when you were trying to talk but I took a fucking mental vacation during our conversation.” Bette shifted her eyes away from her girlfriend and into space. She was looking at nothing but suddenly saw everything. It occurred to her that she needed to get her shit together. Quickly.
Solemn sentiments were spoken. “I’d like to hear what was on your mind, Baby. I really do want to understand how you are feeling …if you have the time.”
“If I have the time?” Alice set free a critical chuckle. “You’re the world’s busiest person Bette. Maybe I need call James to schedule some time with you. You know…so you can be available. How does that work? The part about you being available?”
Alice was irritated with herself for losing control and blurting out everything she felt. She had just come from a place of peace and was now causing a disturbance in the cool morning air that surrounded them. She didn’t know why she was acting this way. She didn’t want to act this way. But she was.
Bette’s tone was sweetened with care. “I’m available now,” sang the apologizing female. Let it be known that Bette Porter was not available yesterday however, because yesterday was her designated day for acting like a fool.
The couple walked in silence to a nearby café and entered. They sat by a window and restlessly observed passersby before finally settling their eyes on each other.
Alice took a shallow breath before speaking. “Yesterday, when Shane told me that Gabby was back in town, I felt like someone had drained the life out of me. And then I thought…”

This was beyond enjoyable to read, Kit deconstructing Lakme in Kit speak, freaking fabulous, Bette actually listening, ah it was all good. Thanks greens! : )
angel, oh what delicious words you give us. the whole listening ears brought a much needed smile. and i knew you were talking bout me when you said hundreds of simultanious conversations going on. happens to me all the time. this is a fab story. the characters wonderful. thanks sweetie.
WOW…it’s seems like you have everyone guessing at the meaning of “Flower Power.” LOL! Bette is definately using the language of flowers to help her express her feelings. Whether it’s to apologize to Santos, or a moonlit garden for the ultimate in romance with Alice, Bette is exchanging messages with the use of flowers. On a differente note, Alice is a much kinder person than I. I don’t like any interupptions during my yoga class and I sure as heck don’t want to be startled after my class. Bette knocking on Alice’s car window after she was done cleansing her body and mind, would have been a definate, “no-no” in my book. Though I’m sure after a Porter smile, all would be forgiven! LOL! I will continue reading looking for a “clearer” meaning to the story title. Post soon.
I hadnt forgotten how much i enjoyed your writing…i just needed to find some “Me time” to sit back and read all 3 chapters…and as expected..i wasnt disapointed…it was sooo worth the wait!….loving it..and will be looking forward to lots more!…Thanks!
LOL at Lenore, she was a very funny character in S1. I’m still excited about when they’re going to break-up and about B&T’s first meeting…which of course will be in the gallery with Eric around. From there Bette is a goner about T, a girl can dream right??? LOL. More please and happy new year :o))
Good chapter. Lenore is funny!
i love lenore LOL…so, we are close to lakme and this is the time when bette met tina…is tina gonna show up? or you will end up with B&A breaking up? btw, i can give several meanings of Flower Power and i bet a few of them you would really appreciate LOL
ok ur scaring me for life with Al, bette lol ur pages better b this long when tina comes were the hell is she lol longer
GreenTea, That was delightful. The roll and pitch was perfection. Lenore was a scream as always and having her with Kit was a double whammy! Awesome. I do love this in-depth look into Bette and Alice’s past. Who knows, maybe this won’t end when Bette spies a luscious blonde at her gallery. I can’t wait for the power duet between Bette and Alice. If Alice follows her mom’s advice who knows what might happen. Something orgasmic! Hee hee hee. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. I am just bowled over by your magnificent words and masterful story telling. More please. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
I like how Bette planned her gift to alice to a T. so T is not far away, huh? good, I can’t wait. I like this sweet side of Bette. You always give her so many layers. looking forward to the next chapter.
Flower Power…well, other than the hippie stuff, all I can think of is Bette uses flowers as a means of getting what she wants. She wants to show Alice a good time? Eat and fuck in and around a big bunch of flowers. She wants that art dude to accept her apology? A bigass arrangement of flowers. And then we see the same thing in S2 when she got pissed off that Tina got the Peabody grant and she didn’t get jackshit and then tried to apologize. I have to wonder how many flowers Bette will give Alice when she breaks up with her.
Oh, if this is going the way it appears to be, Bette will want to do just that, Lenore. Good chapter, greentea, pretty funny. And Kit and Lenore…? Hrmmm. Post soon!
Wow.. was that the name of the play? I was too riveted to Bette & Alice’s scene to notice anything else..lol. Kit&Alice banters, very funny..Lenore’s advice, priceless.:)
This Bette reminds me of SS-tina…pls pls leave her out of this one…I’m loving your particular Bette and Alice. Your Alice is much funnier/better than IC’s and she’s great there…pls post soon
Bette Porter is an ass. A beautiful, sometimes disarmingly charming ass, but Lenore is right – hurrah for the three “P’s”! On a one-off note – the S1 guest stars were so good – Anne Archer ‘got’ Lenore just right, and you do too! I could never see Alice and Bette as more that self-deluded ephemera. They had to wake up and come down eventually. A hand needs a glove, and a Bette demands a Tina. Kit holds all the hipness on TLW: “Would you, would you be, could you be loved…” Thanks!
ahhh tea this was cute!!!! more soon i hope
