    Invincible

    ——–

    After a refreshing round on the racquetball court with my partner in crime, we hit the showers and then I drop Alice off at the New York Public Library which was less than 10 blocks from my office building on Avenue of the Americas. I call Jenny back to let her know I am on my way. It’s already 10:30 by the time I pull up to the entrance and both my assistants are waiting for me in the valet area to brief me on the way up the elevator.

    I casually exit the car and get my valet ticket while Jenny and Dana sandwich and bombard me with details of the last two hours in the office. “Morning Boss, did you sleep well?” Dana asks with enthusiasm.

    “Yes, I did.”

    “Have you eaten yet?” She asks.

    “No, I haven’t.”

    “Jesus, Bette, you were playing racquetball? I’ve been covering you for an hour saving your ass and you’re playing racquetball? Come on! The board is not happy.” Jenny scolds me.

    They hurry me through the lobby towards the elevators and my reluctant pace, I can tell, is wearing on them.

    “You’re in the Post today. Miley Cyrus called to see if you got her email. And Graydon Carter and Arianna Huffington called to see if you’re still on for dinner tonight.”

    “Cool.”

    “Bette, the Art department still needs a decision on the colors of the letters for the lingerie issue yellow and red or white. And did I mention the board is pissed you’re late?” I’m now being shuffled into the lift.

    Dana furiously taps the button to our floor a few times and looks over the notes in her planner. “Ok, we’ve got the daily tabloid report in a bulleted memo for your review.” Dana hands me a folder with a few memos inside. I casually peruse the text then quickly close the folder and look back up at her. “After your meeting with the board you’re scheduled to have an 11:30 a.m. conference call with Helena Peabody. We’ll try to move it to after lunch, but we’re not sure if she’ll be available.”

    Something’s different. I think to myself as I study Dana. She continues to babble on about the morning essentials until she finally catches my eye.

    1. 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!

      • 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!

    2. 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.

    3. 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!

    4. 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

    5. 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.

    6. 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!!!

    7. 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.
