*********
The incessant rocking pulled my from my sleep, but it was the smell of bacon that woke me up. It wasn’t something I had the pleasure of eating often, but there was nothing nicer then crispy bacon with fried eggs.
Someone cooked one of my most favourite breakfasts.
“Wake up Bette. We’re hungry.” Alice whined, throwing herself over my chest.
Instead of responding I wrapped my arms around her, dragging her into a crushing hug. Freeing a hand, I could resist tickling her.
“Hey no fair.” She cries, throwing herself around my bed trying to avoid my preying hands. “I’m hungover remember.”
I grin, quirking my eyebrows before jumping on her, pinning her to the bed. “Why yes dear, you are.” I acknowledge, noting the ring under her eyes and the slight green tinge to her. “Go, shower.” I order, dragging her out of bed, “and brush your teeth. Yuk.”
She trudges off to the shower, throwing a dirty look over her shoulder to which I wave and grin. “We’ll go shopping after breakfast.” I throw out, knowing that she’ll try and remember what she is shopping for, thinking that she made arrangements for it last night. Truthfully, I need to get a dress that would actually fit me for Alice’ award banquette, and I knew how much Alice and Helena would love to shop with me so I didn’t think my little dig at Alice’s expense did any harm.
I wondered practically skipped into the bathroom, more then ready to start my day.
**********
It was hour later when I finally called it a day, carrying bags of new clothes under my arms. It was my intention to simply buy a new dress, but with the encouragement of my dear friends I managed to buy so much more.
Generally I hated to shop, I always felt like some sort of dress up toy, and each outfit was the next ‘test’. A test I was doomed to fail unless Alice or Helena were the ones who chose what I was going to wear. It appears that distance and time made me forget that point, and I disagreed with them to the point of exhaustion, leaving me no choice but to call it a day.

Very wonderfull update!!! What is wrong with Bette? Thank you PPS
Both of your stories are awesome. i hope Bette is OK, yet I feel like her something is wrong. I hope I just didn’t guess what it is. The idea of her a a photographer is great, I really can see it. PPS
We have turnabout on almost all the characters, i.e., playing different roles within this story. Okay, so Bette has some kind of illness, that was alleded to in the first chapter, think I read that. Can hardly wait to see what happens next.
I hope she doesn’t have some blood disorder that she picked up in Eye-Rack. Great story w/a wonderful display of emotions. PPS.
Nice update there.So Jenny works at the publishers?Hells and Winnie, Alice has an unexpected eye for things though i just font know how she does it.Somethings wrong with Bette i know it i can feel it in my bones :(
Hello My Beautiful Dee… so much subtext so many intense emotions that set the mind afire and the soul ablaze… I love how playful and personal Bette’s relationship with Alice is… it’s a beautiful kind of intimacy they share with one another that is such a powerful bond… I love the idea that Bette is a photographer beyond the JB reference it is such an art I feel her character would be so good at… she has such and eye and so much passion to capture the true beauties and darkness’s of the world… so ever she realizes that not is all right in her world… there is a darkness there… I can smell the lavenders… a healing of the mind and soul… your ability to interweave exceptional messages and meanings within your story is uncanny… you my incredible friend… you are amazing… never compromise who you are my friend… your literary soul is a place of beauty and intensity… mucho love and hugs, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels and ever loving Cuzzie to the ever talented Eunichick and Newly Crowned Cuzzie to T_Daze)
Hi, Deean! Now we are understanding more Bette’s ranting when her friends dismissed her idea about publishing the photos of an unfortunate kid. She’s a free-lance photographer for National Geographic! Wow! Something is definitely wrong with Bette. Perhaps an illness she caught in one of her trips. Her symptoms may resemble “Malaria”, but we rather wait till you let us know. This tale is becoming quite interesting, Deean.

I am just waiting to know what is wrong with my Bette! I still have to say that Alice,and Bette’s interaction with her reminds me much more of a child/adult relationship, than two adults.
