“Bette, you need to go see Alice. Take Shane with you,” Tina says, opening her mussels.
A spiral of steam lifts between us.
“What? You aren’t coming?” I ask, ”In case vampires are real?”
“Vampires aren’t real, Bette, but…just in case, you do the recon and report back to base.”
“When? Again? Did I become the infantry?” I get no response from Tina. Then I ask Shane, ”Where is this vampire of Alice’s, anyway?”
“Why do guys think,” Shane asks, looking back and forth between us, ”that I know every weird gay thing that’s dragging around West Hollywood?”
Shocked, I look up from my dinner. “You mean, you don’t?”
”God, the only other person we do know to ask….would be Alice,” Tina says sadly.
Next, I ask something patently absurd. “How do you meet a vampire?”
“At Kit’s Bi-sexual Speed Dating Night.”
“Jesus Christ! We lose touch for not even two weeks and my sister slides into oblivion.”
Tina says, ”This sounds more like Billy Blakely, than Kit.”
“Bisexuals are the last thing I need,” Shane says, catching the waiter’s eyes for another beer.
“I’m with you.” I nod.
“I take a little exception to that, Bette,” Tina says.
“Sorry, but has your wool not dyed yet, completely?” I stare back at her.
Shane taps my arm. “There’s Alice.”
Alice feigns embarrassment, when Tina makes a fuss about how we haven’t seen her for ages, and hugging her to me, I feel Alice shaking, and that worries me.
“I know I’ve been a terrible Earth Mother to Angelica. My job at the radio station, well, the producer is fucking driving me crazy.” Alice collapses in her seat.
Shane stares at her in disbelief. “Alice, you can’t mention Dana two hundred times in one broadcast and expect that to go unnoticed.”
“You think, huh? Everyone loves Dana Fairbanks! She’s a fucking tennis star!” Alice objects.
“Wait! Did I miss another tournament of Dana’s?” But I’m ignored.
“Alice, what do you want to eat? Our treat.” Tina pushes ahead.
Alice fidgets. Shane frowns a little at me and points to my chin.
“What?” I ask her, as I brush away a crusting of Tina’s breast milk.
“Bette, Bette, Bette.” Shane shakes her head, putting it together.
Busted, I flash her a desperate look that reveals my madness.

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.
