Flower Power: Chapter 8
Just as the quiet became too loud, the buzzer on the front door blared.
A peppy Alice smiled her hello as she zoomed by her girlfriend. She sped straight into Bette’s office, unloaded two cups of coffee and a bag of bagels. The zany blonde only slowed down long enough to place a soft kiss on Bette’s cheek.
“You sure are bright and bubbly this morning,” sighed an exhausted Bette.
Brown eyes met darker brown ones and stayed. There was something different about the way Alice was looking at Bette.
“I lied to you last night Bette.”
There was a pregnant pause before the gallery owner responded, “Oh?”
“When I said I wouldn’t be able to survive if you are seeing someone else. I lied. I’ll survive it. In fact, I am surviving it right?” Alice questioned.
A look of confusion cast over a tired face. Bette wasn’t about to concur. “So, is that your way of saying that you’re ready to talk Al?”
“No. That’s my way of saying what I just said,” Alice snapped. “Look Bette. Do you ever have moments when it becomes abso-fucking-lutely clear what it is that you need to do?”
“Yes, I’ve had those before. In fact, just a few minutes ago, I…nevermind. The answer is yes.”
“So, earlier this morning when I turned over and realized you were gone, I asked myself some questions. And I have answers. I know what I need to do.”
Bette remained quiet. She needed to know where this was going.
Alice’s voice cracked as she took her girlfriends hand in her own. “The last thing I want to do is make you feel tied down Bette. Things have been going so well for us, you know. It’s like we’re further along than either one of us imagined we’d ever be. And now we’re to the point where we need to discuss more serious topics. Right?”
“Absolutely,” Bette agreed. It was painfully obvious that Alice was trying to maintain her composure.
“Well, when I was having my little breakdown in your wonderful arms last night, I slipped into my victim costume along with the matching woe-is-me hat. Circa Gabbyland, mind you,” Alice laughed. “I don’t like that costume Bette and I sure as hell don’t like the way it looks on me. It makes me look fat.”

I was just thinking about this story last night, hoping it would post soon, et voila, today laid out before me is a 5 page post. Thank you greentea, ya made my day! Love this story, pps
I’m so glad you had Alice end it and leave with some self respect instead of Bette being in control of the situation. Bring on Dana for Alice and Tina for Bette now :)
So much left unspoken between Alice & Bette, loved this chapter..Alice makes her exit, will Tina make her entry and want to see Bette more than just on a Monday. Thank you.
what a great post! loved the analogies used. thanks!
Hmmm…..ALice dumped Bette….great twist. Bette is so arrogant when she tells Alice, she is going to miss her, but sexy at the same time. How does she do that? ( or should I say, “how do you do that?” LOL!) These two were always just friends with benefits. Alice keeps falling for women who keep cheating on her. First Gabby and now Bette. What’s up with that? I wonder once Tina finds out that Bette’s not in a relationship anymore, if she will pursue more than just “Mondays”? Only you know the answer to that, greentea. So, I sit and wait…..anxious for more. Post soon.
sorry al but it cant be helped not to deal with tina situation
Sooooo well written as always. What’s next?
i wish you would post this story when the challenge was on because you would have my vote…how do you find words to describe everything? it’s amazing…this comment is short because i’m getting ready for a trip but i can’t wait to come back and read what happens next with B&T…btw, thanks for reading ;)
Why is Alice breaking up with Bette? Isn’t Alice the one that told Bette that she was her “…transitional relationship…her Plan B…her something-to-do until Miss Right comes along?” Alice also told Bette “”I don’t do love remember…And even if I did Bette, I wouldn’t be in love with you…Do you actually think I’m that crazy?” Oh well, whatever the reason, I think it is better for Alice that she did let Bette go. Alice needs to find someone to love that will love her back with all their heart and soul. I just love the way you write Greentea and this story has me totally intrigued. Thanks G! More please!!!
That sucked. lol I laugh because I’m sad that Bette and Alice are over in this little world even though they don’t hold a candle to Bette and Tina.
This is so good master greens.
I’m really enjoying this Bette and Alice. They are good together and will make excellent friends now that the romance is over. Some folks help to prepare you for the next person in your life.
Sorry for Alice and she and Bette can be friend, now let bring on Tina. Ok please post soon, thanks!
This is really screwed-up! I’m glad Alice dumped Better, but sorry that she lost her love. Tina’s a cheating scank who doesn’t really seem to be leaving her husband and child and like Bette is just selfish. Bette needs to grow up and learn what it takes to be in a real relationship where she can give all of herself to one person. Great post as usual, still waiting to see where this ends up.
Another thought….If Bette can let Alice go that easily, without so much as a lets try again, well then I guess that says a lot about her feelings and maybe Bette should think about that….can’t wait for more. But greeny easy on the drama pls….and thanks
Oh, pls don’t be finished with them like that…I liked the bette who was with Alice. God Tina fucks everything up and good sometimes!!! Go back and make bette try a bit harder….thanks for the post…loved it, only a few tears!!
This story is so amusing whilst still managing to be sad at the same time. Shane geeking out over the video games, and then this here: “Bette watched as pain ripped through Alice’s face leaving a path of destruction. She witnessed the strong force uproot their relationship before tossing it in the air like pizza dough. It landed upside down miles away. Trust spun out of control before it collided head-on into hope. Both died instantly.” That had me laughing even as I felt so bad for both Bette and Alice… they both want something they aren’t getting. Tina had better make up her mind, Bette deserves more. Great update greentea, thank you!
Yes no more Alice and Bette as a couple! Bring on the Tina and Bette lovin!
Great chapter! But oh soo sorry about Alice. Pls post soon
bring on Tina…………..loved it my friend!
Wow that was a nice reversed spin to have Alice do the break-up and be the committed monogamist even while dating. Can’t wait for more…
Damn you’re good!!!! More please….
