    The Thirteenth Floor

    I laugh dourly at the thought. Bette’s like a lighthouse that can take a helluva beating. Maybe that’s why I wail against her so much sometimes. I admit I see her that way. Maybe?

    I do know how she looks at things. I know most of the quirky steps in the spiral stairs that lead up to her thoughts. But she still surprises me. The knife, her latest, that surprised me. I laugh and hope it wasn’t even close.

    But she was brooding and moody I could tell on the phone tonight. She may have the imagination of a psychopath but it’s just a game with her, I think. No, it is. She has that very dark Scorpio moon an astrologer who came to one our parties years ago told her one night.

    ”Passionate in bed,” she had said and I took Bette’s hand and kissed her wrist knowingly ”watchful and vigilant at night.” I remember my ears perked up because I had felt this, too. ”Secretive and dangerous.” She had looked up at Bette as she had said it.

    ”They shouldn’t hear you coming!” Bette had looked at us for understanding.

    I remember we had walked away arm in arm out to the bar by the pool to join more of our guests. ”I’ve always thought it would be fun to have my fortune told, you?” I had asked her.

    ”No, I think I’m okay, but you go ahead. An artist I know lives next to an old Romanian lady somewhere past Hancock Park. You should go.” She had kissed my forehead. ”And have I told you enough how fabulous you look tonight?”

    I had laughed at her, ”Bette, I’m wearing a cotton blouse you bought me in India, it’s nice but…”

    ”It’s something else entirely I’m talking about.” And she had taken me in her arms and kissed me.

    I turn off the light and hold one of my pillows close to my chest. You know, I never went that fortune teller. I wonder, what would that be like?

    1. Loving the insight thoughts from both Tina and Bette.

      I hope that Bette tells Tina about the whys of her turning to the carpenter like she did in this chapter.

      Wonderful writing, thanks.

    2. It’s not an original comment, but like dozens before me, I love the way you write Bette’s thoughts. And the way Tina gets to their “deep structure” (USUALLY, anyway, altho maybe not when she most needed to).

    3. Bette is so impulsive, so organic. She is sophisticated but you strip away all of her barriers and subterfuge. You just expose her core which is stark and primal. She becomes very relatable. Many of us have that fantasy of simpletons to destroy that which disturbs our “nice, orderly” lives. Or have someone do it for us. Tina had that w/Bette. She slayed Tina’s dragons. I remember in watching “The Sopranos”, Tony offered to take care of an unknown rapist that had attacked Dr. Melfi (?), his psychiatrist. And she was tempted even though she abhorred Tony’s life style and murderous ways. In a simple way, it’s comforting to have someone that can be one’s personal “fixer”. Another insightful chapter.

    4. I loved it!
      It was really good to read Bette’s testimony as to why she was sleeping, the carpenter. I love Bette’s anger, it was fun to read, as she watched Jenny through the window, and imagined how she will hurt her. :D
      it seems Tina’s heart has been established of the change. but they still need to talk a lot of things.
      but I trust that they can be solve ;)
      Thank you potsing for this.
      I look forward to the next chapter.

    5. Wow, you did it again, kind of unexpected from the brainstorming. But again you hit the nail on the head. There is change in the wind… Their masks are slipping aside and we are seeing their real selves slowly appearing. It’s good for Bette to be able to channel her anger at Jenny and come up with various ways of torturing her already tortured soul, her bat shit crazy side. The one thing she did was to observe and pay attention, Maybe a lesson to be learned in airing your laundry for the world to see.
      Our couple’s anger has dissipated and they can now hear the words each speaks. Too bad it came so late. But the glimmer of hope shines on the horizon.
      Well, done BB, well done. I’m in awe once again.

    6. This was brilliant Blackbird. I can see Bette arguing with Aristotle, “F*** moral virtue!” as she contemplates Jenny’s murder! Did she ask about Shane’s spare key because she is thinking of sneaking into the house and re-decorating Jenny’s room or stealing some secrets to keep Jenny’s ambitions in check?

      Good job on the Gypsy theme. Tina should go to that gypsy fortune teller. Eagerly awaiting for your next chapter.

    7. Love it, Love it! BB ..I lol when Shane find Bette in her fence and Bette said “Decided to do some chin ups in your tree.” Subtle Bette so subtle :p….A bit worried thou that she might push her plan when she ask Shane if she have a spare key for Shay?..Good thing logic wins over anger.

    8. great story blackbird!!! i can undy Bette’s frustration about Jenny’s book . i wouldn’t want anyone write a story about me in a book that is deeply private. i would yell at Bette go for it.. hit Jenny with your boxing gloves without feeling remorse or regrets. i would.. no second thoughts…. haha keep up the good work… : )
