Laid Up: Another Season 3 – Chapter 27A
“Yes, I heard. That’s splendid news, yeah.” Helena paused a moment. “Is Dana with you?”
“Uh-huh.”
“There’s quite a bit of noise there,” Helena said loudly. “You must all be celebrating.”
“We are, but the party really won’t get started until Bette and Tina and my Earth-daughter get home.” Alice laughed.
“Yeah, right. Ummm, I was wondering if perhaps I could speak to the two of you privately? Is there a bedroom you could go to?”
“Sure. Hold on a sec.” Alice held the phone against her blouse and walked over to Dana. She touched her elbow and said, “I’ve got Helena on the phone. She wants to talk to us.”
“About what?”
“I have no idea. Let’s go to the back.”
Dana followed Alice to Tina and Bette’s room where Carmen was sitting on the floor going through their CDs.
“Carmen,” Alice whispered. “Could we have the room for a few minutes? Personal call.”
“Why didn’t you stay in the living room?” she asked as she stood up.
Alice didn’t answer, but she glanced at the phone in her hand as if to say that was the only explanation she needed. Carmen sighed and walked out.
Dana closed the door and Alice put the phone on speaker. “Hey, Helena. What’s the big secret?” she asked.

Marcus had asked Kit if there was some vibe between them. She was dumsbstruck, not really wanting to answer the question. Kit halted folding cloth napkins and stared at one of the place settings on the table. She wasn’t sure what to say about this. First and most important, she was with Angus; two, Marcus, like Angus was at least fifteen years younger; three, she wanted to break her bad habits—the ‘drinking Kit’ was opportunistic and perhaps too sexual for her own good. The ‘coked-up Kit’ would have confirmed his belief simply by going up to him, kissing him, and even reaching down to give his crotch an easy stroking with a slow hand. But the Kit standing before Marcus now was not drinking or high and as attracted as she was to him, she was a new woman. “Yeah, I guess you’re pickin’ something up, but I can’t do nothin’ about it. You met my man. We’re exclusive. Shit, if you’d come along a few months ago. . . .” She shook her head. “Umm-ummm-ummm, you know what I’m sayin’?”

I thought this story was over!! Never have I been more happily surprised than finding 84 pages…84pages!!… for me to read on vacation. I am presently doing a happy dance, Portia. Thanks so much! Take good care! Lin
Wow. This story is ALWAYS worth the wait. Love it.
I’ve just spent a very enjoyable time reading this. I’ve enjoyed every word, of this, every word. There’s so much in here, hope, joy, redemption, sadness, and of course the hotness… I loved it. Portia… I don’t know what else to say at this point but “Thank You.”
‘PortiaOnly’ – you are enshrined permanently on my favorite authors list… this tale you’re weaving contines to be amazing! Thanks for all your hard work linking the L-word past to your brand-new future, you’re the best!
“Laid Up: Another Season 3 – Chapter 27A”: Techie goes to her happy place. …Wait right here, Portia, while I go stock up on water, and provisions. I usually read these right through in one sitting. Your previous record was 57 pages. I think I’ll need a massaging chair pad. BRB…
Just when I thought this chapter couldn’t possibly get any better, we were treated to the wondrous, brilliantly orchestrated B&T scenes in the final 20-plus pages. “Tour de force” is a shopworn expression, but it perfectly describes “Laid Up”. Your dedication and the quality of your work continues to amaze. Thanks so much.
That may be the most romantic and erotic scene between B&T I have ever read. I loved Tina’s list of joys–I am in awe of your thoughtfulness and creativity. Try as I may, I couldn’t make myself feel bad for Stephanie. I do feel bad for Theresa–seeing your child in pain, even one as rotten as Stephanie, must be agony. It seems you have begun to wrap up a lot of storylines, but as a most-devoted fan, I am crossing my fingers you will be continuing this story for a long, long time :). Thank you for this amazing post–I’ll be counting the days until we see you again.
WOW 84 pages and i love every single page!! you hit every emotion and then some!!! so worth the wait!!! :)
Fantastic, absolutely fantastic. I can’t think of the equivalent of being “speechless” for the written word, but whatever it is called, that is what I am. Thank you so very very much.
wonderful as always
The wait was worth it absolutly!! 84 pages WOW. Thx and I’ll be waiting patiently for the next chapter!
Oh I made a happy face as I saw you post again. And got wide eyes to see 84 pages. Thanks, thanks. You make my day. PPS
omg … it took 2 days to finish butm i did… loved it as always… what a story… and what a toy… PPS
This has to be a record on so many levels…almost 2500 hits in 3days…Do you know how amazing you are as a writer, a storyteller…How lucky are the people in your life that get to call you friend, what a blessing you must be. As a loyal reader and fan I can only imagine. Please don’t ever stop writing, and in your spare time could you pls think about writing a B&T beginning. I loved your Bette coming out story. Portia you are brilliant, you leave me breathless with every chapter. Thankyou just never seems to be enough, thankyou!!!
Fucking Superb!!! Thats all I can say…A true testament of brilliance
99 pages and the bitch ain’t one! Doesn’t make sense but I wanted to use Jay Z’s line. I think the Nyquil that I am slugging down is doing weird things to my brain. Spectacular storytelling. You have this immense talent to weave together many story lines into this coherent overarching story just like life. Just a true pleasure to read and savor. It’s worth investing the time into reading and digesting this chapter. I hope you continue to bestow us with your amazing talent.
