Showtime: Chapter 8
The woman had on a pair of thick reading glasses, connected by a long red string, which matched the color of her frames. The torrent of the summer heat weighed heavily on her long reddish hair, and her skin seemed to glow with a light perspiration. Still, she seemed a great deal more accustomed to the sultry temperatures of the resort than Bette was.
“AhhhHere we are,” she stated, pulling up a file on her computer. “Catwoman: three evenings in room 305, with a nice view of the main gardens. Sounds quite nice.”
Bette nodded slightly, looking down at the counter.
“I hope so.”
“Thank you, Miss…”
Reaching for the lapel of her blazer, the attendant quickly fixed her small nametag, which had been partially concealed. “I’m Sarah. Pleased to meet you, I’m a big fan of your work”
“Oh thank you,” Bette replied graciously, smiling for the first time since her arrival.
“Don’t mention it,” Sarah nodded cheerfully, standing from her seat and peering over the counter at the three bags. “Can I get you some assistance with your luggage?”
After a short pause, Bette peered down at her bags and then back up at Sarah.
“Yes, I’d like tha-”
“Of course,” Sarah replied, fixing her glasses and calling for a bellhop. “If there’s anything else you should need at all while you’re here, don’t hesitate to call downstairs. I should be working at the front desk for the better part of your stay during the next few days.”
Nodding, Sarah stood from her chair and quickly returned with Bette’s room key card, setting it on the countertop. With a determined smile and a slight weariness about her, Bette grabbed the key from the counter and began to walk away
Meanwhile:
Stepping off the elevator onto the third floor, Tina Kennard’s shoes met with a plush violet carpet, which was strikingly similar to the rich colors of the evening sky. A continuous string of long, blue fluorescent lighting adorned each side of the hall, both at ankle height as well as just below the ceiling. Other than that, the hallway was rather dim, mimicking the beauty of the outdoors with various tropical plants placed strategically in open corners. If there hadn’t been two small exit signs and a few soda machines on either end of the hallway, it could have almost been mistaken for a jungle path. Even the sweltering heat of late afternoon seemed to accentuate the hall’s resemblance to a genuine rainforest.

Love the update. But I’m a little confused. Are they all there for work and Bette doesn’t know that Tina is there or huge coincidence they’re vacationing in Miami? (maybe I read too fast and missed something)
Of course there are LOTS of people still reading and waiting for more of this story…pls post again soon…tks
OOH! Loved it! You’re so good at this! I’m wondering if Dana is the one sharing Tina’s room…hmmm…Alice was so cute and the exchange between her and Dana was so adorable! THanks!
CMC,
This chapter is marvelously evocative of Miami as the heat and humidity of the city are emitted from the screen. Your ponderous and redolent pace makes this story a true delight. The devil is in the details and yep, you give us them in excess. The simplest of items warrants a full description. This adds such depth to your story.
Thank you for this continuation of a genuinely unique story.
The ‘so near but yet so far’ aspect is fascinating and I am yet to discover exactly what Bette and Tina’s relationship is in this version of events.
It put a big grin on my face the introduction of Alice and Dana. Who knows where you will take this partnership?
Can’t wait for your next post. Please make it soon.
Your Loyal Fan.
Loving it as always CMC. Now is Tina going to see Bette in the elevator???? Post soon
Callmecrazy – try “sending me crazy”…
Enjoying the story.
Post soon!
