    Invincible

    “You changed your hair.” I say more as a statement than a question. The cute red blush Dana Fairbanks usually gets when she’s given a compliment creeps into her cheeks as she smiles shyly and nods. “Looks great, Dane.” I tell her, giving her a small wink. Like I said, I enjoy being a big flirt.

    “Aww, thanks, Boss.” She rolls her eyes with goofy grin.

    “Ahem.” Jenny Schecter’s throat-clearing interruption garners the attention she wants from me.

    “You look good today, too, Jen.” I try to ingratiate myself.

    “Bette, seriously, you have a lot of shit to catch up on after being gone all last week!”

    I give her a genuine, appreciative smile. If it weren’t for these two ladies, my company may have fallen apart years ago. If I’m good at anything around here, it’s hiring the right people.

    The soft ding of the elevator notifies us that we’ve reached our floor. As soon as the doors part, my dependable assistants hustle me off the lift and through the double mahogany doors of Porter Publications. I step down the long corridor of Surge Magazine, my most successful magazine these days which caters to the younger male demo. In the waiting area, an attractive brunette sitting in a large plush chair thumbing through last month’s issue catches my eye.

    “Hello.” I smile, my voice flirtatious as I motion a wave with the folder in my hand. I start to slow my pace so that I can approach the woman who has looked up at me in confusion but I’m immediately reined in by Jenny tugging me like a stubborn mule.

    As Dana, Jenny, and I pass by the Art department window I tap lightly on the glass waving at Mark, our art editor who is engaged in conversation with his assistant, Tim.  Mark turns and looks at me and in a panic grabs two cardboard mockup covers with the same image and text but one with the Surge title in yellow and red letters and the other with the traditional white lettering.

    “Hey, Bette, hold up! Choose one. Which one do you want?” He says loudly through the glass.

    Our cover girl this month is Ruby Rose in a sexy black lingerie get-up with matching garters. My mouth drops at the steamy site of her pose and all I can offer Mark as I walk by is a presidential thumbs-up while he yells my name for confirmation of my preference.

    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.
