Flower Power: Chapter 9
As soon as she heard the word Hello, Bette eagerly blurted out “Guess who?”
“Let’s see. Could it be….um….the sexiest woman in the world?"
“That would be correct.” A lopsided grin hopped onto a flawless face.
Tina laughed. She adored both Bette and her ego. They had served her well. “How’s my Bambi doing?”
“I’m good. Missing you.”
“I like that.” .
“You like the fact that I’m missing you?”
“Yes, Bette Porter, I do.”
“Quite frankly, I think you enjoy complicating things.”
“I enjoy you.” Tina stressed. “And yes, you’re complicated,” she laughed.
“You’re the second person to tell me that today. The complicated part that is. You’re the first to mention enjoyment,” Bette giggled.
Phone calls between the two were occurring more often and becoming more substantive. Neither woman had mentioned the deviation from their previously set rules.
“Bette, can you hang on a sec?” Tina asked hurriedly.
There was an obvious tinge of disappointment in the reply. “Yeah…sure.”
Suddenly, stolen moments had been stripped of their shine. Reality in all of its dullness was clearly revealed.
A male voice boomed in the background. The extra-loud man needed to know how long to nuke something for.
“Jesus! Can’t he operate the fucking microwave?” Bette asked in disbelief.
Bette didn’t know Tina had returned to the phone until she heard a cute snicker.
“Sad, I know.” Tina laughed. “If it’s something pre-packaged, he’s pretty good because the directions are there. But for things like leftovers, he’s a little challenged.”
“So Bette, I take it you’re an expert in the microwaving department?”
“Well, I happen to be an expert at many things,” Bette touted. “However, in this particular instance, it sounds like your husband and I have more in common than just you.”
There was something about giving life to those words that really disturbed Bette. Voicing that truth caused countless neurons to engage and fire internally. The reality was – she was seeing a married woman. She was seeing a married woman. She was seeing a married woman. The situation was real.

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
