I grab her hands and hold them out as I again direct my focus to her feet. “Jesus, you have the greatest taste in shoes I’ve ever seen. Bar none. Anywhere.” My compliment lights up Nadia’s face and I see Lara emerge from behind Nadia as she hands the tray full of snacks she’d been working on to another of her employees.
“Thank you, Bette!” Nadia gushes. “You sure know how to throw a party, don’t you?”
“This place sure looks more crowded with people in it.” Lara remarks with a knowing smile as she came to stand in close proximity to me. She certainly is familiar with the layout of my apartment, from many positions. My eyes dart between my favorite caterer, dressed in all white, and the model whose hands I’m still holding onto, a nervous smile plastered on my face. I begin to wonder how many of my other conquests will be arriving and under my roof tonight. Dropping Nadia’s hands, I awkwardly gesture between the ladies. “Lara, do you know Nadia?”
“No, but I shudder to think what we might have in common.” Lara responds, offering her hand to Nadia.
“Bette?” Jenny blindsides me from behind, pulling me away from an already awkward conversation. “Did you invite the entire Olympic snowboarding team?”
“Tonight is my birthday, and I invited who I wanted to invite.” I say to her with a smile. “Go. Have fun.” I will her to let her hair down a little tonight.
A videographer is canvassing my large, trendy New York apartment inviting all of my guests to wish me birthday greetings which they are all more than happy to do. Everyone is having a good time. Even the Seven Dwarves are smiling and enjoying themselves.
“Happy birthday, you bitch!” Kathy Griffin screams as she pulls me in for a hug. “Cher couldn’t come, but she wanted me to make sure you got her package.”
“Is she still holding out for me to hook up with Chaz?” I ask in good humor.
“Well, duh, of course!” the red-headed comedienne answers. I thank her and her assistants for coming and tell them to have a great time while they’re here.
The flashing bulbs of digital cameras everywhere are blinding as I shake hands with my colleagues, friends, acquaintances, ex-lovers, hangers-on, and perfect strangers welcoming them in my home.

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.
