Flower Power: Chapter 7
“For your information, his name is Benjamin and you guys are mean,” Kit stressed.
“That’s Alice…. Kit, you know me. And by the way, your new man is cool.” Shane declared with a nod of her head.
“And you know this how?” Alice questioned.
“Cause I know him, that’s how. He’s good people.”
“Oh God. That’s it then. If Shane knows him, he can’t possibly be cool. What is he? A drug dealer? Spent some time in the slammer? What the fuck is up?” Alice demanded while casually looking around the not-so-quiet space.
“Uh oh. Enter Dumb and Dumber.”
“Be quiet Alice.” Shane warned.
“Hey guys, how’s it going?” Kit hurriedly motioned for an unenthusiastic Jenny and smiling Annette to join them.
The response was a delayed yet warm, “Hey…” A pregnant pause followed. “We’re good,” Jenny’s expressionless face was distant, yet too close. Especially for Alice, who proceeded to sit as far back in her chair as she possibly could.
Jenny locked eyes with each person before moving her gaze to the next. Alice always thought the complex woman looked a bit possessed the way she would shift her eyes to look at someone before turning her head in the same direction. A puzzled look displayed on the tipsy teacher’s face. Her thoughts immediately reverted to the conversation she had with her sweetie recently about Jenny and her college roommate, Annette. The reflective reporter caught a case of the giggles just thinking about how Bette couldn’t remember Jenny’s name. And how Annette reminded her of Olive Oil. Alice’s body shook uncontrollably while Shane shot her a what the fuck is so funny look. Alice’s noticeable tremors continued.
Annette wondered what had Alice so tickled. “Are we late?”
“Not at all. We’re just early.” Shane offered before muffling a burp. “Whoa, excuse me. You guys ready to order?”
“Nice. Very nice Shane.” Alice’s laughter went on hiatus.
“Thank you Al.”
Alice cut her eyes at her friend and proceeded to peruse the menu. Twenty minutes later between bites of perfectly cooked plantains and curried dishes du jour, a spicy conversation sparked.

You know I was just going to pm you and bust your chops for another chapter, and then I read your opener. My god how terribly terribly sad, you’ll have a special prayer tonight….
T, god bless your sister!is there a blonde lady appearing soon? p.p.s.
***doing a happy dance***A huge smiled spread across my face when I saw your post tonight. It must be tough for Bette to have to decide between two beautiful women…yeah, let me get my violin out, LOL! No, seriously, Bette needs to decide if she wants to be the next Gabby in Alice’s life. I hope she will do the right thing and end it with one of her blonde beauties….but who will it be? Hmmmmm….whatcha got up your sleeve, greentea? And don’t tell me it’s just your arm! LOL! PS
GT always miss ur writing!!
sorry al u going to be hurt but tina is the one
as always angel my thoughts are with you. my 2nd 4 dan is on sunday. *sigh* but on with you show. your writing is beautiful. the convo is always spot on. i love how you have everyone interacting. decisions decisions. thanks.
Damn this is so good and Im with tylo!
Always a pleasure, greenie. Thank You.
Hey Greenie great to see another post from you. Always intrigued by your writing, but like B&TF I’m also confused by how I feel after reading this……poor Alice, but still I hope Bette will tell her the truth and choose Tina!!! I’m so sorry to hear about your sister.
Wow. Great chappy Greantea! Bette needs to decide soon.So sorry to hear about your sister :(
Glad your back. Please be gentle with Alice’s heart!!
Wow this really could go either way. It would be a unique ending if Bette chose Alice. However, I wouldn’t want Bette to make that choice out of guilt.
hey there- from your comment, it would appear that writing stories is not the only thing that we have in common. thoughts are with you.
Ooo, Bette is in too deep and she needs to cut loose someone. I hope it’s AL , cause I just really can’t get with this pairing, but you do make them kinda cute together. LOL, Post soon and sorry about your sis! *sending hugs your way*
Hey G! Thanks for another great chapter. Bette needs to be honest with herself and with Alice. Bette isn’t in love with Alice, and Alice is looking for a monogamous relationship. Bette needs to let Alice go before she really hurts her. And after Alice told Bette “And if ….well, if you’re seeing someone else then…I just…I don’t think I could deal with being crushed like that again…I don’t think I could survive it Bette…” Bette is very lucky that Al fell asleep – give her some time to think about how to let her down gently. Thanks Greentea!
the name of the chapter was perfect, i felt confused LOL well, not so much about the chapter but about my own emotions while reading it…and of course i can understand bette’s confusion…she has to chose ad i’m thinking it would be alice…i wanted it to be tina but i always want them together so i won’t beg (maybe once: please, let bette chose tina though i love alice too)…okay, i promise this will be the only time i beg (for this chapter i mean) ;) your writing is always a delight, it’s like a getting a phone call from a certain florist…….sorry about your sister, i too know the pain of loss
Greentea, That was another blinder of an episode. Full of hurt and solace. Bette is in a hard place but one of her own making. ALice is a soul given the fallout from her relationship with Gabby. I do know that you can love two people completely at the same time however when one of them doesn’t know about the other there is deceit and duplicity. These can and will destroy even the strongest love affair. Remeber that the heart can be a fragile organ. Bette really needs to sort things out in her head. WHo doe she want exclusively and what can she live with doing. Awesome and tortured storytelling. Many thanks for continuing this masterpiece. Your Loyal Fan.
