Brokens Girls with Strange Frames (Ch. 23)
Eric was shaking hands with Catherine Opie. “Excellent to meet you,” he said, and started asking her about possibly blowing up one of her prints, and I took the opportunity to excuse myself from the conversation and go find Spencer and Kyle.
I found them mingling with some art critic who I couldn’t, for the life of me, remember the name of, despite the fact that Bette must have introduced us a few times. Trouble was, she’d introduced me to about fifty-billion other people during the course of the night and I couldn’t possibly be expected to remember every one of them.
Kyle looked bored out of his mind. He pulled me away from Spencer and the critic. “Do you know how many times I’ve had to listen to Spencer give people the ‘Everyday things inspire me; life inspires me’ speech?”
“Aw, is he still pretending that makes him sound cool?” I asked.
Spencer walked up, putting an arm around each of us. “What are you guys talking about over here?”
“Uh…”
He looked at me, concerned. “Are you okay?” he asked. “Max Bauer passed by me awhile ago and told me to make sure you didn’t drink anymore tonight. What’s that about?”
I shook my head. “Oh, whatever. Bette said she’d get me coffee.”
“Well,” said Spencer, and he gingerly took the glass from me, “just in case.”
Kyle checked his watch, then Spencer’s, then mine. “Good. We can eat soon.”
Bette returned to my side, hands in her pockets. “Hey, they’re going to start setting up for dinner soon,” she said to me. “Do you want to hang out in my office?”
“Can I take my shoes off and lay on your couch?”
Bette chuckled. “Yeah.”
“I’m there. Bye, you guys.” I waved to Spencer and Kyle as Bette and I took off for her office. She smiled at Eric and Tina, conversing with Catherine Opie, as we passed by. “What’s with the girl?” I asked.
Bette shrugged. “Eric’s girlfriend. I invited them to dinner.”
“Tch. Invitation *****.”
Bette grinned.
“She’s cute.” I put it out there. I wonder if I’ll ever grow out of my try-to-make-Bette-jealous tendencies.

ugh ALice Alice Alice…Your stories have the strangest affect on me. I laugh, worry, experience melancholy, hide my head behind my cushion, feel ashame and hurt all at the same time and all because of your wonderful writing..
I didn’t know if I had to laugh or feel sad for Alice, it was a great and kind of unsettling chapter…
Please, update faster, I have a plane to catch soon and I wanna have the time to know what happens in the end!!
xxx
Ok..lm a massive fan of ur story!! Post more!! I wanna see where & how far Bette takes this..before actually falling for the lovely T!! x
That was an amazing chapter – it seems… true. Your grip on these characters is incredible. Bette is arrogant but that is a part of the package, and people like that are often attractive even when you know you shouldn’t get taken in.
Alice is wonderful. Period.
So…when does the worm turn?
I am SO looking forward to the skid marks as Tina jets away with Bette’s heart. Bette has a hard fall coming, and I’ll be in the Peanut Gallery, cheering for every minute of it!!!!!!!
Someone has already entitled a fic, “Turn About is Fair Play,” but I swear, it would be PERFECT for the B&T portion of this story!
Thanks!
She IS hot and she DOES have nice arms and more than that, she and her buddy Alice are so well written. I’m with you on every emotion, Rach, and you’re taking us through a LOT of emotions.
I like your decision not to follow the standard avenue for the Tina and Bette meeting. Alice has such a torch burning for Bette. But I think that in the beginning, when they were in Bette’s office, I think that Bette really did like Alice more than she let on. She just has so many walls around her heart that she can’t just let go. At least, that’s the way it is with Alice…Tina on the otherhand.
I feel so badly for Alice because I know what’s coming, but then again I know Bette and Tina are so much more. Poor Alice I love the girl and it’s going to hurt, but I can’t help but route for B/T !
holy shit…damnit alice she should no better than to challenge bette..n bette she can b an ass..but im still addicted cont..soon thanks
i’m so enjoying this story. i love your bette. and your alice.
