Fire and Ice Chapter 12
April 1999 Los Angeles, California
Bette slowly paced the length of the gallery as artists and guests began filling the main room. The ever increasing buzz of conversation was of little distraction to her plight.
She intently searched each face that entered through the glass enveloped entrance, each time relaxing her frame when it was clear that the person she was waiting for had yet to darken the doors.
She rested against one of the pillars jutting up intermitently throughout the gallery, trying her best to look collected and most of all, inconspicuous.
It was still early, she really needed to placate herself and prepare mentally for the business of the evening. She was just finding it increasingly difficult to walk around and play the part without stumbling over herself in anticipation of the blonde’s arrival.
"So…where’s the lady of the hour?" Alice breezed up to Bette’s side and playfully poked her elbow.
Bette willed her eyes away from the entrance long enough to raise her eyebrows at the quirky lady at her side.
Alice had delivered on Bette’s request for "killer" attire and shown up almost on time.
"Your late…and would you keep your voice down, Alice?" Bette hushed.
Alice placed a hand defensively on her hip.
"Oh, come on Bette. Are you serious? You really need to loosen up…" Alice was astonished by how this blonde woman had turned Bette into a bundle of nerves.
Bette’s gazed remained on the entrance.
"Okay…I know what you need…you need to get on that whiskey train, girl…’cause it’s gonna be a long night with you wound up like an eight day clock." Alice clicked her tongue for emphasis and disappeared in the direction of the open bar.
Bette stood watching the door, inhaling deep each time a crowd of people entered and likewise exhaling when the blonde was no where to be found. She barely noticed Alice extending a drink her way.
Bette crossed her arms and smiled.
"Are you suggesting that I get drunk, Alice?" Bette’s tone more relaxed, feigning mild shock.
"Hey, do whatcha gotta do…all I’m saying is this "pine-ing" thing you got goin’ on here, well it’s not working for you, sweets." Alice thrust the highball glass full of carmel colored liquid towards Bette.
