“Okay.” She says and her sweet smile is going to be the death of me, I just know it.
Taking my cue I leave her in the study area and rush into the small kitchen and rummage through the refrigerator seeing only a half-drunk Gatorade and a bottle of water.
“Damn.” I say under my breath. Grabbing either side of the doorframe and leaning halfway in the threshold between the study and the kitchenette, I address my guest who is admiring the artwork on the study wall. “Well, we’re safe, but I’ve got nothing to drink up here.”
“Who did these paintings?” She asks, motioning back to them.
I stride back into the study area and point to the adjoining wall. “This is Joseph Arthur. This one is Monet. And this one is done by me.” I proudly lift the snowboard that is leaning on the wall and wipe it with my hand. It’s a project I undertook one day inspired by Van Gogh’s “Starry Night.” It boasts of bright blues and yellows swirling around the bindings. A look of skeptical confusion befalls Tina’s face. “Yes, it is a snowboard.”
“Well, two of them are geniuses.” She jibes then giggles. Her eyes return to the framed Monet hanging above my desk. She steps closer to get a better look and I edge closer to her.
“That is the real thing. His brush painted the Vanilla Sky on this canvas.” I pull the frame away from the wall to show her. I’m working my hardest at trying to impress this woman whom I’ve only just met. I lean my shoulder against the wall that showcases the priceless painting and continue to study the beauty that is Tina Kennard as she continues to study the work of art. She reaches out her index finger and gingerly traces the edge of the frame. “It was my mother’s.”
“And where is she?” Our eyes meet again.
“Same place as my father.” I say, hoping she picks up on the inference. The question flickers in her eyes but she doesn’t ask it. “Let’s sit.” I suggest motioning to the day bed just beyond the study.
She twists around seeing the bed and does a little skip towards it, sitting instead on the floor in front of it. I switch on the lamps so we’re not sitting in complete darkness and so I can see more of her flawless complexion. She leans against the day bed and looks sideways at me as I sit down next to her. I lean my elbow on the bed close to her and can’t stop smiling.

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.
