“Thank you.”
“But one day you will know what love truly is. It’s the sour and the sweet. And I know sour, which allows me to appreciate the sweet.”
Inhaling a deep breath, I give Alice the information she wants. “Jodi Lerner is a friend. And sometimes we sleep together.”
Alice rolls down the window and howls like a dog in pain, clutching her chest.
“What?” I say, my voice edging on concern.
“My dream girl, Jodi Lerner, is your…fuck buddy.” Alice again lets out another pained howl and it’s all I can do not to laugh. “Tell me something.”
“Anything, Alice.” I reply.
“That red hair?” She says with a couple wags of her eyebrows.
“What about it?”
“Come on, Porter. Does the carpet match the drapes or what?”
Now, I’m not really one to kiss and tell. But Alice is in the middle of writing a novel about the trials and tribulations of dating and rejection as a bisexual woman in New York City, so I attribute my response solely in the name of Alice’s thorough research.
“Let’s just say that recent renovations have replaced the carpet with smooth hardwood floors.”
Yet another wailing howl. “I knew it.”
As we drive through the city, I realize that the Howard Stern Show is a repeat so I hook my iPhone up to the auxiliary cable plugged into my stereo. “What do you want to listen to, Al?” I scroll through the digital display as I drive slightly over the speed limit and weave in and out of traffic.
“Whoa, slow down, Bette.” She says.
The anxiety in Alice’s voice doesn’t register with my otherwise engaged mind and my eyes remain on my iPhone. “Let’s see how about Passenger? Savoir Adore? Uhhh, Radiohead?”
I notice from the corner of my eye that Alice’s posture stiffens perceptibly. Her back pushes against the seat and her hands are raised in front of her as if to save her from a fall. Her right foot frantically presses the floorboard searching for the brake pedal that isn’t there.
“Look out, Bette!” Her panicked voice finally gets my attention.
My head whips up just in time to see us hurtling towards the rear end of a taxi stopped just meters in front of us. Clenching the wheel, I pull it desperately to the left and slam my foot on the brake, somehow maneuvering into the other lane narrowly missing a high speed impact with the cab. With screeching tires, the force of the maneuver spins my car to a 90 degree angle in the next lane.

Enjoyed your story even tho i know nothing of vanilla sky.This epihany that BETTE finally has regarding her company and the warning from a trusted friend makes for an enjoyable read.TINA appears to be the alter ego of BETTE the uncanny ability to read her and is spot on in that drawing.BETTE has some life altering/style changes to make so let’s see what happens becuz for a one off you left a lot unanswered yet it was thought provoking in a good way.
Thanks for your comment, Dunn! Perhaps not having seen the film makes for a better read, although I know what you mean by all the unanswered questions. Even though this is a one-off, I have not completely ruled out possibly coming back to it in the future for a follow-up. There’s no plan to do that right now, but it is always an option. I appreciate you taking the time to read it and offering your feedback!
Great art work!
You never disappoint me. I enjoyed it a lot. You do know how to tell a tale. Thanks
You are too kind, wkm. I’m very happy that you enjoyed the story. Thanks for showin’ the love!
Hope you continue to post stories. I do love your tales.
This is so cool and sexy! I never watch Vanilla sky, but I’ll be damn, I think BnT suit the part so well.
Perhaps I prefer my readers not to have seen the movie. It’s definitely a weird one. But I thought these scenes of a hopeful budding relationship worked with Bette and Tina in those roles. Glad you liked it!
Not seen Vanilla Sky but don’t feel it detracted from finding this story fascinating. I really enjoyed the read and hope that you do consider it as a base for more as this budding relationship between my favourite couple certainly has potential.
Thanks
Don’t think I’ve ever had anyone comment that my stories were ‘fascinating’ so thank you for the compliment Sassy! A follow-up isn’t completely off the table, but just not actively in the works at present. Appreciate you taking the time to read.
Waittttttt! No way!!! I love Vanilla Sky and the older one Abre los ojos! What can I say I can’t resist a naked Penelope Cruz (>ω< )!!!
It wasn't THAT weird to me tbh, I freakin cracked up and cried my eyes out when Penelope said to Tom "I'll see you in another life when we're both cats."
Ahhh old movie, good times! Didn't think I'd see the gay version of the story. Nicely done!
Hahahaha! I suppose the best reason to watch those films would be a naked Penelope. She’s not really my cup of tea, I’m more of a Salma Hayek fan, but she was great in these films. Like I said, I have a love/hate relationship with it. Thanks for reading, hope I did the story justice since you seem to be the only one who has seen the movie so far.
MEEEEOOOOOWWW!
yeeeeeeeeessssss….. you know how long I have agonised about seeing this piece come up…. I miss you my friend. I feel we have resumed our game of tag… you posted… I posted too! guees it’s your turn again ;0) xx
Brilliant, as always, Mell. I have missed your amazing storytelling. I hope you will give us more, if not this story, something else. Oh wait!! Don’t you have something else you’re working on? Like just a chapter or two left? OMG, you do…. Yay!!
Look forward to whatever you write.
ps
Salma Hayek? Nice.
Yes, Salma Hayek. I can’t quite put my finger on it (but I can definitely put my finger in it :p), but I have a thing for slightly older women. Just something about them I can’t get enough of. And thank you for your very kind words, even though they aren’t very subtle. I’ll try to write something or two somethings when I can.
GREAT!!! I know and a like Vanilla Sky (with Tom Cruz and Penelope Cruz) . Vanilla Sky is a Hollywood remake of another great movie – the spanish movie “Abre Los Ojos” (with Penelope Cruz and Eduardo Noriega) And I like so much your story , Invincible with Bette and Tina :))) THANK YOU!!!
Thanks, Leonora! You seem to be one of the few readers who have also seen the movie and bonus points for having seen the original Spanish film!!
I loved this new version of Vanilla Sky,
I saw the movie however vaguely lenbro
some scenes, it would be interesting if you
continue to write its version.
All Stars.
