“You’re not going to make the 8:45, are you?”
I sigh. “Good morning, to you too, Jenny. How are you this fine November morning? My trip was awesome, thanks for asking. Looking forward to seeing your chipper face today too.” I speak quickly before she can interrupt me.
“Bette Porter! We’re running up against a deadline here. You have to check the colors of the letters for the new issue of Surge.”
“Hmm, what are the colors?”
“Yellow and red or the traditional white?”
I look to Alice for assistance, but she just lazily shrugs her shoulders indicating she has no preference. “Gotta think about it.”
“Bette, please don’t be late for your 10 o’clock with the board.”
“You got it, honey. But please don’t tell anybody where I am or that you spoke with me. I don’t care if God, Himself, calls, I am very, very busy.” I disconnect the call before she tries to lecture me anymore and laugh.
“Jesus, Bette. It’s been 10 years now, can’t you figure out a way to just get rid of that board?” Alice asks.
“The Seven Dwarves? No.”
“Those people drive you nuts.”
“I think that was the goal when my father decided to appoint them.”
“Well, no one could ever accuse you of being a daddy’s girl.” She concludes.
“You’re right.” I concede, putting the car back in gear. As I make my way across town to the health club, I feel Alice’s gaze upon me. I tear my eyes from the road for a split second to meet hers. She seems to be suspiciously sizing me up. “What?” I ask.
“You fucked Jodi Lerner again, didn’t you?” I try my best to look innocently shocked at her accusation. “I knew someone was there when I called last night. You had that tone.” She sniffs loudly and in a nasally horrible imitation of my phone voice continues, “Oh no, sorry girl, I’ve got a cold. I’m hanging in tonight, ya know?” She looks at me for confirmation.
“I had a cold.” I say, unconvincingly. She lifts a disbelieving eyebrow. “I was alone?” It’s more of a question than an assertion and I struggle to not crack a smile.
“Fine, Porter. You can do whatever you want with your life.”

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.
