I hadn’t heard from Alice for a few days either. She had turned down my offer to come over and help me annihilate those 9 year-olds playing Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare but I figured she was hard at work on her manuscript which was due by the 1st of December. I couldn’t wait to read what she had so far. One thing Alice generally kept to herself was her work. She refused to let me read anything she was working on until it was complete. I admire her tenacity.
It’s finally Friday, and after giving every employee under Whit’s supervision the axe, I am ready to cut loose with my friends, colleagues, and hangers-on. A social butterfly by nature, I truly flourish in party settings.
I enter the kitchen with two bags of ice in my hand as requested by my favorite red-headed caterer, Lara. “Who needs ice?” She signals for one of her employees to take the bags I’m carrying and I wink at her. Lara and I have history. Yes, it’s precisely the kind of history you’re thinking. She flashes me a sexy smile and goes about her business placing the delicious hors d’oeuvres she’s created onto fancy silver serving trays.
The rainy weather has not deterred the throngs of people holding martini glasses or craft beer bottles from filling my upscale, modern apartment. Part literary world, part fashion crowd, and part entertainment industry, the party is well underway and I breeze my way through the maze of bodies exchanging pleasantries with everyone I know. Half of New York’s socialites and fashionistas were jockeying for my attention in my own home.
As I continue to maneuver around my guests making sure they are all having a good time, I’m accosted by a model I had a brief tryst with months ago. Tall, blonde, and from a wealthy family blessed with genes for good looks, Nadia Karella slinks over to me wearing a body-hugging black and grey patchwork dress that was entirely appropriate for the dreary, rainy weather. I give her the once over and see that she is wearing a fantastic pair of silver Wrap Louboutins that I had been eyeing a few weeks ago.
“Bette!” She calls out to me making sure I don’t get away without speaking with her. “Happy Birthday, hottie.” Nadia whispers as she leans in to place a lingering kiss on my cheek. I smile and graciously accept the affectionate gesture.

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.
