Flower Power: Chapter 8
Bette didn’t have time for games today, video or otherwise. It was imperative she know what was going on. “What are you doing?”
“I um…I was trying to leave this for you but your stupid bamboo chair attacked me,” Alice rubbed her knee.
“Why didn’t you just knock on the door Alice?” Bette’s tone was snotty, so the klutzy blonde had no choice but to fire back. “Because I didn’t want to see you Bette. That’s why I didn’t fucking knock.”
Bette shot Alice a look to match her previous question. Why is this so difficult?
“Here,” Alice handed Bette an envelope with her name on the front. There was no smiley face, cute flower or happy picture drawn by Alice as usual. Just a name. Bette’s heart hurt.
“What’s this?”
“Lakmé tickets,” Alice flatly stated while removing a stray leaf from her hair.
“You can have them Alice. They were a gift.”
“I don’t want them.”
Bette sighed. Alice knew her ex was tired and didn’t’ want to argue. Alice on the other hand was quite in the mood for verbal sparring.
“Why are you home now anyway? I thought you’d still be at the gallery.” Your turn.
“I came home early.” There will be no sparring match tonight. End of discussion.
A loud voice boomed from inside, “Hey Al…Wanna play!?”
Shane sounded so much like a kid. All she wanted was someone to play with. If life were only that simple.
“Nah…I’ll pass. Thanks though.”
Shane popped up from the couch and joined the former couple at the door. She saw sadness on the faces of her closest friends. “Look guys, I’m gonna head home. I’ve got some stuff to do. Maybe we can all play next time,” She could always hope. Right?
They both watched Shane’s thin form disappear into the darkness of the night. “I can’t believe you didn’t tell her we broke up Al. Shane mentioned she had spoken to you a couple of times today. But I knew by our conversation that you hadn’t said anything to her.” Bette softly admitted.
“Well, that’s not the kind of news I like broadcasting Bette.”

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….
