Flower Power: Chapter 9
Within the next minute, a curious Bette appeared right beside Alice to see what was going on.
“So, what’s this?”
“Cupcakes for my kids.”
“Sounds like you’re inviting cavity creeps.” Bette’s tone was more accusatory than she intended.
And it sounds like you’re inviting me to a verbal sparring match. I’ll pass. “The cupcakes are to cheer my kids up. Their latest assignment was to write a paragraph about what makes them sad. Some of ‘em are still a little down from sharing their feelings,” Alice empathized. “It was so good tapping into that part of them though.”
“Here you go Ms. Pieszecki.” A pleasant young man behind the counter handed Alice a large rectangular box and some change.
“Let me help you with that Al,” Bette offered.
“I’ve got it, thanks.” Bette, please move. Why are you even here? You never come here during business hours because you’re too busy. Why now? Alice struggled with the awkward box while a few coins bounced off the cellophane window on top. The determined woman picked up the silver and copper pieces off the floor and shifted items in her arms until she gained control.
“Alrighty then,” concluded the blonde. “I’m outtie.”
Bette followed her rapidly departing ex-girlfriend. “Hey Alice?”
“Yep?”
Graceful hands accompanied silence. Bette didn’t know why she was nervous, but she was. Her words were improvised, yet felt orchestrated. “What did you write Al? “What did you say made you sad?”
“Oh,” Alice paused briefly in thought. “I wrote…I am sad when my kids disrespect me by not paying attention in class.” The teacher offered a warm smile. “See ya Bette.” Newsflash #1005: Not everything is about you, Bette Porter.
It had only been a few days, but Alice had this break-up thing down. Seems she was politely pissed. All the time.
Bette watched as the spunky woman easily loaded the huge box of cupcakes, her hobo bag and herself into her car. What Bette couldn’t see was the trickle of tears that coasted down Alice’s face as she drove away.
+++++++++++
As the day wore on, thoughts of Tina could no longer be suppressed. Everything Bette attempted to do ended with a Tina based interruption. Eventually, the distracted woman had no choice but to call the source of her diversion.

Love this story–love the intensity of your writing. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Hello GreenTea, Thank you for a wonderful chapter is this brilliant tale. It was interesting to replay the past and see the attraction between Bette and Tina play out. Not sure how this will affect the present as Tina is still married and has he son to think about. I do want these two soul mates together but have to think about the damage to other that course of acction might inflict. An innocent child would rather have a satisfied and contented mother living in a gay realtionship than a bitter and unhappy one trying to make a hetero marriage work. Personally think that Tina has to decide what she really wants and then follow that dream. More please. Your Loyal Fan.
WOWZER! Someone always gets hurt when these liaisons occur, Alice is the first victim (indirectly), but I so feel Bette and Tina’s love…like their banter…so real!
Part II…I liked how you explained “Flower Power” so original… love this story, please continue!
great update!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simply complicated, like bitter sweet…kinda opposite but the same, entwined to be one. Loved this combo in this story and I really wished that you officially wrote for the LWord, god,it would be so much better!!Thank you for posting and waiting for more!
What a pickle she’s in….hmmm wonder how Bette is gonna get out of this funk??? Tks for the update…
I love the flashbacks to when B & T met. It helps explain alot about their current relationship. I wonder if Bette would continue to want Tina if she wasn’t married? You always want what you can’t have, right? I love never knowing where you will take us next in your story telling but I am definately along for the ride! LOL! PS.
Missed you and this wonderful story. I love the connection you have built between them as well as the off the charts passion. Don’t stay away so long.
greenie, greenie…thank you for this beautiful story, so full of humor, sadness, love, loneliness and of course beautiful flowers, who doesn’t love them? it’s time for tina to leave this pathetic excuse for a husband and do something about bette…i don’t wanna see them lonely
Simply wonderful as always GreenTea. Life is complicated and you’ve painted an amazing picture of it with these two women. I’m looking forward to seeing how Tina and Bette work this out.
From the moment I read the title, I thought I knew what this story was all about. Silly me. I don’t know a thing except that you’ve fooled me. And captivated me. Again.
Thanks for weaving this tangled tale!
WOW, You have such an awesome writing power! Thanks
The others are right, this post was sad – but I’ll focus on the positive; the increasing communication between B&T and the fact they don’t worry about their previously set of rules!!! Post soon and have a great weekend :o))
greens, I don’t know where to begin… I’ve had a really crappy week and then the universe provided two messages to let it all go and one of them was your story. Thanks.
I’m just now catching up. Why do I have a feeling this isn’t going to end with B&T together fully?
Good chapter. Hope Tina will dump her husband soon, because she not happy. She and Bette should be together, they are happy and can’t wait to see more of them. Ok post soon please, thanks!
I have just read your Story. She is great. Please come back to continue.
It’s been a year…come back to us..
In case you’re still alive and you read this: please continue this story, I like it a lot!!
Not sure how to react to Bette’s emotions. The whole situation is just sad. Hope Alice fine’s someone nice (Dana). What’s happening in Tina’s marriage?
Very complicated. Orchid appears to be frafile, sweet, and a delicate flower that require TLC…yet some grow in the most unforgiving of terrains and bloom into the most beautiful exotic of flowers. Flower Power indeed!
great!
Ah, Bette. She’s messed it up with Alice, and Tina’s still with her clueless man… she needs to find a way out of her loneliness. Love the story, greentea, it’s so amusing and poignant at the same time. Post soon. Thanks
