“Thanks, but I’m on a liquid diet these days,” Alice answers Tina’s question about dinner. ”Fasting and losing weight. It’s all good.” She shakes a blue pill into her palm and swallows it.
“Alice, what’d you just take?” Tina asks, while Alice paws through her purse, extracting handful after handful of amber colored prescription bottles.
They hit the table in front of me, in a clatter. “Holy fuck! You’re pill shopping aren’t you? No doctor since Elvis would give you all these at the same time!”
“Actually, Michael Jackson’s doctor, a few years ago, remember?” Tina offers as another example of unintended suicide.
“Well, that was very sad, too,” I agree. ”Alice, are you taking all these together, and not eating?”
I pick up the bottles one by one, “Take one every morning for depression. Take one every four hours for anxiety and take these for insomnia.”
Alice reaches for the last vial. “Oh, don’t worry, I don’t have insomnia anymore. I just quit trying to sleep at night.”
”You just quit?” Tina shouts.
Alice leans into the table, and in a hoarse whisper says, “I’m dating a lesbian vampire…at night, you know? That’s when she’s steamin’ hot.”
Why I felt the need to argue with her I don’t know. “But that’s counter intuitive, Alice. Vampires would have to be cold, because technically they’re dead.”
“Technically, Bette, and I know you don’t like being corrected, but the term is ”undead”.” Alice ”air quotes” with her fingers.
“Okay! Whatever! We’d like to meet her, wouldn’t we, Tina? How about a double date?” At this, I feel Tina’s kick to my leg so, I glare at her.
“Hmm, would she like that . . .?” Alice muses.
“Oh God.” Tina gets up from the table.
I point to Shane and Angelica. ”Watch her, please.” I hop up from the table and follow Tina.
“Are you okay?”
“Fine, just a stomach pain, not sure why.” She waves back at the table.
Then, clutching my arm, she leads me into the Ladies Room. “Bette, do not encourage this dating thing with Alice. You know goddamn well I’m not going out on a date with you and some fucking vampire.”
Two hours later – Bedroom –
Absentmindedly, open my power suit closet door and peer inside.

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.
