“You think you’re charming don’t you?” She brazenly asks me.
“You know what I think? You’re either a very good actress or you really do sort of like me.” I pose the catch-22 to challenge her to admit that she feels the energy I picked up on the moment she walked into my apartment and my life.
“I am an actress.” She admits, although I’m unsure if she’s joking. ”And I’m a pretty great dancer.”
“There’s probably not too much you aren’t great at.”
“Now that’s an unfounded compliment, don’t you think?”
“Just a feeling I get.”
“That must be a pretty strong feeling.”
“It is.”
“What else do you think I’m good at?”
That one makes me hesitate as dirty thoughts invade my brain and I narrow my eyes at her. She’s challenging me and I love it. “Am I blushing yet?”
“A little. But you didn’t answer the question”
“I don’t think you want me to.”
“Me neither.”
We both drop the act for one powerful, awkward moment. My brain screams at me to lean in to kiss her, but the door opens wide and the knob hits the wall with a loud clunk.
“Aha! I caught you!” Alice stumbles through the open door with a big grin, a cocktail tumbler in one hand and pointing at us with the other.
“Alice! Come in here!” Tina exclaims as she and I both stand.
“Hey, Al, what’s going on?” I ask non-chalantly, a smile pasted firmly on my face.
“Your friends are fun and I’m drunk.”
I chuckle. “Jodi Lerner is stalking me.” I cheerfully explain our sudden departure from the crowd.
“She looked dangerous.” Tina agreed.
“Oh, well, no one stalks me, so, I drink.” She declares motioning with her glass.
“Well, we’re out of drinks up here.” I say as I start to walk back to the party.
“Then here, finish my Jack and Coke.” Alice tries to messily hand her glass tumbler to me as I try to pass by her and it slips out of her hand smashing to the floor.
“Stupid glass.” I say, bending down to retrieve the broken pieces. Alice has lost all of her cool and now I’m doing my best to cover for her to minimize tomorrow’s embarrassment.

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.
