Laid Up: Another Season 3 – Chapter Eight
I can’t walk on pine needles without thinking of you, Shane. You were so effin’ good. Write back. Let me know when we can get together for another…hike. Hornily yours, C.
“Shane, I’m walking back with your coffee,” Carmen said in a singsong voice. “You can close your messages from your chicas.”
Shane closed Cathy’s email and moved down to the next one. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Carmen.” Shane stared at the monitor. “I’m just opening an email from Jenny.”
By the time Carmen had placed the mug on the table and taken her seat on the arm of Shane’s chair, Shane was reading the note. “Jenny says she’s doing fine and that things are working out so far.” Shane read the next line to herself and leaned in toward the monitor as if she weren’t reading correctly. “Wow. She says that she’s going to stay in Skokie after her treatment. She says that she wants to see if she can do some writing there, maybe as a playwright. Huh.” Shane nodded and Carmen leaned in to read the message, too.
Reading over Shane’s shoulder, she asked, “What does she mean she fucked up her life in LA?”
“Well, she was engaged to that guy Tim who had the house first. Then she had an affair with Marina. Remember, she and her ex, Francesca owned the Planet?”
“Riiiight.” Carmen nodded her head. “But Marina was married to some freaky rich dude in Italy.”
“Yeah. Nervous breakdown, fled to Italy, sold the place to Kit, haven’t heard from her since.”
“That’s hardly Jenny’s fuck up.”
“Well, when Francesca came back, Marina decided that she really wanted Jenny, but by then Jenny was with Gene and Robin and broke both of their hearts, and Marina, I guess couldn’t handle the rejection.”
“Damn. Jenny got around.”
“Yeah, and everyone wanted her to commit to them.”
“She didn’t have to worry about that with me. I was so into you, baby.”
“Commitments will fuck you up every time,” Shane sort of said to herself.
But Carmen heard it. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Nothin’,” Shane said unconvincingly.
Carmen stood and looked down at her. “Have I asked you for anything?”

portia, really thankyou. You take as long as you need to tell us your version of S3. Your Dana is true to other seasons and I loved her little pitstop!! Couldn’t Theresa be Bette’s supporter with the adoption process, being a blood relative wouldn’t she be offered Angelica before social services took her?? Keep steph away, sounds a bit homophobe…I like seeing the snipits of Alpha Bette..and the struggling one made me cry. Portia, there is so much in your story and this chapter, thankyou for giving us readers so much to digest we are so very lucky to have you posting again…pls don’t stop…
Wow, you broke my heart. I feel like I was going through the whole Season 3 mess again. My heart’s bleeding for Bette again…
If I haven’t commented on your story in previous post, I’m sorry. This is so heartfelt and moving. Also, you brought the funny in this chapter with Alice and her Hermes Scarf and Bette with the wallpaper money. I think I’ve read a Tibette story of yours before ages ago on Ralst’ Passion & Perfection. Thank you so much for sharing your talent – and for writing lots when you write. I love the long stories.
I just started this chapter. Theresa Kennard has invaded B&T’s home. Why am I getting a flashback to that story where Vanessa Redgrave loses her longtime companion and her family comes and takes everything from her, including their house? Please, tell me I am delusional…back to your wonderful story…
This story has it all: length, breadth and depth. It’s a winnah, baby! They need to spare us the formalities and just hand you your Fanfic Award right now! I wish I could comment in depth, but I feel too shallow right now….Thanks!
Great storytelling , Portia
