I take a deep swallow of my brain hammer drink. ”I can promise you that. No more men.”
Helena catches the eye of the waiter and sends a ”two more” signal to him.
”Try to get two good ones in before dinner, Mummy always says. ”Sometimes it can save your life. Especially if the dinner wine is bad.”
”I haven’t been going out much,” I confess.
”Is that good?” Helena finishes her drink and fixes me with one of her inquisitive looks.
”It’s fine, just very different.”
”Hmm. Bette and Jodie have coffee most mornings with us. I guess you know that.”
”I’ve been by a few times, but you know where the studio is. Miles now out of my way to go for coffee there before work.”
”I doubt you’d enjoy it. In addition to Jodie we’re plagued daily by Jenny. Aren’t you supposed to be taking down a notch, but hopefully away? As in far, far away from all of us soon?”
”A painful part of my job. I have to come by there tomorrow and meet with her.”
”These drinks are delicious. One more before dinner, don’t you think?” Helena motions discreetly for two more. ”How was your psychic reading? Did you end up finding her?”
”Oh, God! Yes! I went a few weeks ago.”
I start on my third French 75 and the room seems very shimmery and bright, and seeping into me are strains of music from a jazz quintet. I look across at Helena’s beautiful inquisitive face and feel a pleasant boozy buzz taking me over. I relax back into my soft chair.
Being in bed with her creeps into my mind. ”Confidentially? I need to make a decision about, Bette,” I say instead.
”Bette? But you’re not considering? Are you? Hmm. Interesting.”
”Well, possibly, I mean what do you think?” I try very hard not to slur.
”Me? What do I think?” Helena looks at me flabbergasted. ”Tina, to me she’s a bit of a monster, you know? I mean she’s gorgeous and smart, but I despise the way she lords it over me. I fucking hate her, you know that, and you know why.”
”If it’s any consolation I don’t think it’s personal that’s just the way Bette is.” I laugh to myself as I sip my mind altering champagne cocktail. ”I wonder how she’s doing at a university filled with faux intellectuals?”

Blackbird’s love charm is working! Can’t get enough of this story.
Perfection again! I really, really dislike Jodie Lerner. I could never see Bette w/her. I understand it was the artist thing that attracted Bette but really she has nothing on Tina. Discussions on art are highly overrated. Tina is a much more exciting, well rounded individual with wide interests. More, please. I now believe in fortune tellers and talismans.
Work that “charm” Tina!!! ;)
Oh please continue soon! I really love where this story is taking us.
More please. :))
Oh that charm is working so well. Little by little, it’s breaking down Bette’s facade of settling down with another person other than her true love. Her truths show themselves to her heart and she can’t ignore them. Helena is my hero in her part in assisting Bette in seeing her truth. Bette’s evolution is moving forward.
Another fine piece of work, my dear friend. I’m in awe once again!
Love where this is going the ice cream was a great bonus. More please. I am totally in.
I liked this scene between them in the end. I so much hope in a kiss, but you left us hanging, that’s not fair :P
but I see the charm work, and a bit l Iike a slow burn them!
After the debate between Bette and Jodie, I hope Bette see how shallow woman is Jodie really, and how self-centered, because she can not see the consequences of her actions. it’s time for their relationship to end, right? ;)
really liked the chapter!
Original French 75 recipe makes 1 cocktail (Tina’s had three!)
2 fluid ounces lemon juice
2 fluid ounces gin
2 teaspoons simple syrup
1 cup ice cubes
4 fluid ounces chilled Champagne
1 lemon or orange slice for garnish
1 maraschino cherry for garnish
Next, combine lemon juice, gin, and simple syrup in a Collins glass. Add ice cubes, fill with Champagne, and stir. It’s very pretty with a garnish slice of lemon or orange and a maraschino cherry. However, where I live they don’t tack a lot of fruit on the glass but do drop a nice fat cherry inside.
This drink was created in Paris, France around the time of the First World War. It was said to deliver a kick similar to the French 75mm field gun.
Ms. BB, I was intrigued by the name of that cocktail, so I googled it. It has a history going back quite a bit. Rachel Maddow should make on her Friday night show when she features cocktails. She’s quite the mixologist.
Liked it, as always! I’m so glad you’re sparing us Bette and Jodi scenes. I can’t bear them together. They just don’t fit with each other! It wouldn’t work, not even with a love charm.
I can see the Tina’s charm is working, thought! But I’m pretty sure it won’t be needed, since Bette already knows how deeply in love with Tina she still is.
Helena and Bette are hilarious, they hate and love each other! I think it would have been great if they wrote more scenes with them together, what a pity.
THANK YOU!
BB..bartender, bring us another round!…ahhh, our jealous Bette; the fortune teller working her magic…yes! Detail and scenery are remarkable…transporting the reader as if we are there w/ your characters. Self centered Jodie is pushing Bette away…I can live w/ that. Bette doesn’t need Jodie and her slobbering….keep her away!….ahhh, but Tina working that tongue on the ice cream….priceless. Thx for another fantastic post my fav writer…and that cocktail….shivermetimbers….hearty har, har…..Badabing!!!! awaiting your next post!!
I still hate Jodi. Thanks
I love a jealous Bette….know it is wrong, but so funny. Thanks for all you efforts, I really looking forward to reading this story.
Yes! Bette’s feeling the effect!….
I can stand Jodie.Amazing story,amazing drink.Thank you.
Blackbird…amazingly detailed story …love the pool story.. funny as hell. Helena stirred Bette up.. haha. and love the Tina and Bette sharing the ice cream and mocha.. my thought went further than that. lol anyway great story.. thanks for sharing friend!!!
Bette and Helena plotting together is so funny. Is the charm working? On whom? Tina or Bette? Bette needs to scare away Jodie with her Bowie and take Tina down the road of love. Keeping posting, please.
I actually think you are the Charmer with this story BB !
