The blonde on the receiving end was lost in the recollection of times Bette had just cited. Silence fell upon them both until Bette finally stated. “You dismissed me when I needed you the most Alice. I didn’t know shit about relationships but I wanted to try. With you.” Bette yanked a tissue out of the box. I’m sorry I didn’t know how to get your attention to tell you about her. The situation with Tina isn’t something that I’m proud of Al.”
Bette sniffed softly as she began to pace around the room. Alice inserted herself in her ex-girlfriends path and pulled her into a bear hug. Alice wished Bette were all hers, but she wasn’t. She had to keep that in mind now. “It’s okay Bette. I’m sorry I wasn’t available for you. And I’m sorry we’re here now.” The couple held onto each other as if everything in the world depended on it. Bette felt Alice’s fingers sink into her aching back, and it felt so good. The previously tense woman began to relax as the pressure from Alice’s hands comforted and soothed her tired body. And soul.
“Bette?”
As much as she didn’t want to move from her position, Bette pulled back to look at the woman holding her.
“Yeah Al?”
“You were the best girlfriend I ever had.”
And there it was. Bette’s trademark. Radiant, glowing, and full of hope. It was simply beautiful. And so was its owner.
“You’re blinding me Bette.”
“You’re going to miss me Alice.”
“You are so arrogant.”
“I like to think of myself as confident and self assured.”
Alice laughed, “Yeah, you like to think of yourself alright. You’re fucking arrogant and you know it,” she smiled. Alice’s nose scrunched up into a cute little button. Bette wanted to kiss it. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
There was no response, only a deeper admiration of the yapping woman who fell down on the porch earlier. “So, are you sure you want to do this Al? You’re ready to just throw me away…just like that?
“Bette, save that gibberish for someone else. I don’t want to share you with anyone. You may be okay with sharing you, but that’s a no-no in my book. I’ve had too much practice doing it with Gabby. I don’t want to get to that level of expertise again.”
Alice held her bag of games tightly as she walked to the door. A misty-eyed Bette was right behind her removing additional leaves from messy but cute hair. “I think you’re becoming a tree Al.” Bette giggled.
It was evident Alice was trying her best to blink away the blurriness from her eyes. “I meant what I said earlier Bette. The best girlfriend part. ”
“Thanks.” Bette softly replied. She felt if she said anything else her heart would bounce right out of her body. Her eyes traveled an imaginary path of where she thought her heart would go when it escaped…. in between the flower pots, on top of the table, down the steps, into the grass…ending up in Alice’s body.
“I really want to kiss you, Bette.”
“Seems to me you should have thought about that before you dumped me Al.”
“Yeah, I should have….but I didn’t,” Alice smiled. Her lips were so close to Bette’s that she could have easily taken her ex-girlfriend’s breath as her own. As soon as doe eyes closed, Alice’s lips pressed against Bette’s mouth and eased it open. Tongues melted into one and tender whimpers floated through the air. And then it was over. Until it happened again. And again.
Alice and Bette were frozen in time. Suspended in the moment of good-bye. Both women wanted to declare things neither had spoken before. Both decided not to. Another time maybe. Yeah, maybe the same time they’d play video games with Shane. There was always hope.
Alice stepped away and halted a stray tear from the journey down her cheek. While walking backwards, she offered an eager, kid-like wave with a bright smile to match. She had never been so sad in all her life. Bette was right. Alice would miss her. She already did.
Bette waved back slowly. “Take care Alice.”
Before getting in her car, Alice sadly replied, “See ya Curly.”

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….
