How is that possible?
I’m twenty times her mass and yet, my body sweat is a half note in the score of scents surrounding us. There’s talc and lavender from her baby lotion. A citrus scent from her blanket and then, releasing into the closed interior of my car is the smell of Tina’s breast milk.
I close my eyes and listen to Angelica’s puckering sounds and Tina’s soft coo’s as she nurses.
Lazily, she brushes the side of my face with her fingers..
”Tee, I have a confession.”
Her eyes half closed she mummers, ”Mmmm, I’m sure it’s a good one.”
”Hormones make you sleepy?’
”Floaty really, like a light-stoned feeling,” her voice drifting, giving me hope maybe, she’ll forget.
I whisper, ”Instead of looking for a job I’ve been painting watercolors of you.”
She laughs softly, as if she’s known all along.
Relieved, I settle back in my seat. “Painting reminds me of my mother.” I pause, as my eyes search the gloaming light of the canyon. “In my mind she’d have been a wonderful grandmother.”
”Our baby needs a grandmother. Mine was wonderful,” Tina says, handing me our daughter.
I buckle Angelica inside her carseat in the back, and turning around I see the watercolor of Tina I will paint only for myself.
Her expression as she slips her blouse away from the breast the baby didn’t take, offering it to me.
”I know you love it,” she says, as her milk flows past my lips, and her hand slides inside my running shorts.
Paella, West Hollywood – Bette
“I heard you say Alice might stop by,” I ask Shane, while sending a warning look to Tina.
“It’s hard to tell with her these days,” Shane says. ”Helena knows more than I do.”
At the mention of Helena I groan. “Will she ever go back New York?”
“Carmen says Alice is dating a vampire,” Shane adds nonchalantly.
“What?” Tina snaps. “Repeat that, please?”
The waiter appears with our steaming plates of paella. He smiles at the baby sucking on her pacifier.
“Carmen says there’s a vampire cult here in LA. It appears, one of them has found Alice. Uta, her name is, maybe?”
“For the love of God!” I exclaim. “This has got to be some sort of fucking joke!”

Fantastic chapter!
Alice and her Vampire, God, she is the only one of the gang to get involved like that.
I would’nt mind to only see Bette in tanktop and pajamas, she looks incredible sexy in it.
Beautiful pictures! I love them and this story.
Thank you!
Thanks Bibi! (Here’s more about what I was thinking, too)
As the writer, I’m creating the arcs and portraying the inner struggles Bette’s going through in this pivotal part of her life. To do this as an immersive experience for the readers I’m creating sub-textures and metaphors in Bette’s mind as she tears and knits her thoughts and emotions back together, Hopefully, there’s a real sense of sharing that grief and hope with her through her experiences.
Starting moodily with post-coital bliss and moving to uncertainty on her trail run, her true feelings of tenderness are revealed in her watercolor portraits of Tina and the baby. All these mixtures of emotions she goes through as she wrestles with her sense of alienation she’s labeled her, lesbian daddy blues.
Her character changes dramatically in “Remembering Me, Part One” through “Part Two”. From ardent in her quest for sexual intimacy, her professional high-powered egotistic self no longer suited up for action, we’re meeting the struggling Bette Porter trying to find her way in a wholly new form of intimacy that’s unfolding.
Love your writing. Thanks for continuing to write.
