Flower Power: Chapter 9
++++++++++
After a day of visiting miraculous museums and gorgeous galleries in Kingston, Bette was ready to shun her well-deserved ‘me’ time for decent company. She took some of her fellow award recipients up on their offer to have dinner together. After stuffing themselves silly, a subset of the larger group of women decided to hit a local joint for rum and reggae.
Once inside the comfortable establishment, Bette and her colleagues noticed the dimly lit space was much larger than it looked from the outside. The faint scent of marijuana doubled as a welcome wagon as it wafted by.
With each easy tick of the Caribbean clock, distinctive beats reverberated throughout. Swaying lovers held tightly to each other, afraid of what might happen if they let go. Mesmerizing music played faster than the pace in which many had chosen to dance.
Smooth, rhythmic beats cast an intoxicating spell on laid-back locals. When Bette raised her wrist to check the time, the attractive bartender flashed a big smile and gently placed her arm back to her side. He calmly shook his head disapprovingly and asked the pretty woman her drink preference. Modern methods of timekeeping held little meaning here. Now was the time to relax, enjoy and unwind. And this was the place in which to do it. No worries.
The group of visiting women sat, sipped, and engaged in interesting conversation while sultry sounds from the band served as a backdrop to their chatter. When Bette thought she saw a familiar face on the dance floor, she excused herself from the chatty group.
Bette’s calculated moves were slow and precise along the border of a section packed with bodies in motion. She searched for what she thought she saw. And just like that, there she was. Tina Kennard was lost in a sea of people, dancing like she had invented every move in the book.
Jesus. Bette swallowed hard while her eyes remained glued to hips gyrating in the name of seduction. Their easy movement hypnotized the stunned brunette.
Tina was clearly enjoying herself, smiling with every confident move. The man she was dancing with was just as good. Bette recognized him as the bartender from earlier. The attractive pair moved with rhythm to spare. Bette laughed to herself as she thought about a black woman somewhere, wondering what happened to her inherited portion of rhythm. Tina had it.

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
