But the truth is we are living in a time where my industry is in rapid decline. The uprise of “social media” is effectively annihilating publications of all kinds. Newspaper subscriptions are at an all-time low. Hardcover and paperback books are now being replaced by Kindle readers, audiobooks and digital copy. Print media is fast becoming the dinosaur in the digital age in much the same way the record business has taken a nosedive. It is only a matter of time before the other shoe drops and really put us out of business. And my business is certainly struggling. It is a pivotal moment in time for the company, no, the Empire my father had built. Without it, I have nothing.
Perhaps the very lifestyle I had enjoyed my entire life is the one thing that has kept me the elusive bachelorette that I am. It is difficult not to suspect that every woman who shows a romantic interest in me is more taken with my social status than who I actually am. Thus, it has always been easy for me to jump from woman to woman while keeping them all at arm’s length.
I slip on my white, long-sleeve button-up shirt looking out the window and across the street into Central Park. I retrieve my watch and cell phone from the nightstand and pull off the digital voice recorder from my alarm. The stirring on the other side of my bed catches my attention and I shake my head as my bedmate flings the comforter off herself to smirk at me.
“Where are you off to so early?”
“Don’t record anymore messages for my alarm clock, okay?” I attempt to say sternly with a crooked grin, pointing the device at her.
She smiles brightly, her naked form revealing itself as she sits up. “Why not?” She asks with a tease in her voice.
“Because, then I’ll start to think that,” I hesitate, “…we’re married or something.”
In an overly dramatic fashion, she feigns, “Ugh, don’t ever say that word or I will never come over here and bring you chicken soup and fuck your brains out again.” I smirk at the grinning woman and can only shake my head again. Jodi Lerner is an aspiring actress and mildly reformed party girl whose dirty streak indulged my own from time to time. She and I share a mutually satisfying casual thing with no strings and it is exactly what we both want. Or at least, it’s exactly what I want.

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.
