Bette laughed.
“Anyway,” The serious tone and focused eye contact sent a chill up Bette’s spine. “I’m getting too attached to you Bette and it’s not good for me. Or for us.” Alice’s voice became softer, sweeter. “I feel like I’m smothering you and its weird. I don’t want to be that person.”
Bette’s eyebrows creased in uncertainty. “So, what does this mean Alice?”
“It means that I’m breaking up with you Bette.”
This information came as a surprise to the gallery owner. “Wow. Are you sure this is what you want?”
“It’s not what I want Bette, but it’s what I need. I promised myself that I would look out for me and I have to make good on my promise. Try to understand that okay?”
Bette immediately bit her lip. “Okay,” This wasn’t how she planned for things to go.
Alice warmed her hands around her steaming cup of coffee. Why was it so fucking cold in here?
“I’ve gotta get to work,” Alice realized. “I brought you a bagel,” the blonde handed Bette a neatly folded bag.
“Thanks,” Bette whispered while attempting to process what had just transpired.
Alice wanted to gather some calm like she had learned to do in her meditation classes. She knew there was a better way to say what was about to roll off her tongue but she couldn’t stop the momentum of the question. “Who is she?”
“Who is who?”
“The woman you thought was calling when I answered your phone last night,” Alice blurted out.
“Fuck.” Bette whispered.
“Who is she, Bette?”
This is not happening. This is not happening. Shit. “Her name is Tina,” Bette replied quietly. Bette stared at the flowers given to her by Alice. They were starting to wilt. So was Alice.
Alice repeated the name softly before a frown held her face hostage, “Please tell me this isn’t the Tina you had the two-night stand with a couple of years ago. Tina the Flower Lady?”
Bette’s elbow was propped up on her desk with her hand supporting her head. Her eyes remained on wilting flowers.

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….
