    Invincible

    They still look at me as if I’m 11 years-old. I wasn’t lying when I told Alice that my father appointed them to their positions to drive me nuts. The truth is Melvin Porter and I did not have the typical father-daughter relationship. His business acumen was not something I really inherited nor was it really an area of study I was interested in. I had more of an eye and a hand for art, as did my mother, Maxine. She miscarried once before she had me and two more times after I was born. My birth nearly killed her and, in some ways, I think my father resented me for it.

    Since she could never give my father the son he always wanted, she discouraged my passion for art and pushed me to study business as a means of pleasing him so that he was confident that his legacy would live on.

    My father was not built for the 21st century. He never ate at McDonald’s, not once, and he never watched television. Yet, his biggest magazine was TV Tonight. He and my mother threw the grandest parties of the literary world. He ballooned, jumped out of airplanes. He sought adventure. He was a real adrenaline junky, my dad.

    His autobiography is the manual for every cutthroat publisher in New York, it’s called, Defending the Kingdom. Page 127 is where you will find the single reference to me. “Maxine and I tried unsuccessfully to bear more children, but life was only kind enough to allow us one daughter. Elizabeth was a delight as a child.” That’s it. That’s all he wrote about his sole heiress to the throne in a 342 page autobiography. I don’t think he ever got over the fact that I was and still am absolutely terrified of heights. Or that I was a lesbian. And when he and my mother were run over by a drunken teenager on New Year’s Eve 10 years ago, he left the keys to the Kingdom to me with 51% control, 49% going to a group of seven board members who all thought they were first in line.

    So when I attend these monthly meetings to discuss figures, sales, line-items, mergers, acquisitions, or whatever may be on the agenda I know each one is stewing in his and her own disgust that the 11 year-old snot-nosed little rich kid has more power at that table than they could ever dream.

    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.
