”I even tried to pick her up but she was having none of it.” Helena whispers her confession.
”Well, thanks for that, I guess.” I roll my eyes at her logic.
”Take one for the team, you know.”
”Helena,” I say with a warning tone.
”Is this bit you’ve got going with Jodie serious? I confess I’ve started to wonder.”
”Yes, maybe it is. For once in a very long time my conversations are about the paradoxes of design infinities and confinements in three dimensional space. Exactly the opposite of what I’m used to debating and arguing about.”
”And you sign all this?” Helena asks incredulously.
”Most of it.”
”And sculpture and such is getting you off then, is it?”
”Fuck off. I’m going back to bed. You guys keep it down.”
”Bette, I guess I should have told you.”
”What? What!” I lean back down to her. ”Do you get cranky when you’re really tired in the mornings? Imagine my mood tomorrow after five hours of sleep. That’s if you leave soon.”
”Maybe Mummy should fill you in. Not just the Peabody Foundation but others, too. People, donors I mean, have had problems with Jodie Lerner over the years.”
”That’s not how this is going to happen. We’re not going to call your Mother, Helena. You’re going to get out of my fucking pool right now, and you’re going to tell me everything, every last detail you know.
”May I at least have a towel, please?”
”Sorry! Let me get my midnight cabana service ramped up.” I lean over to a cedar chest. ”Here, a nice fluffy one.” As she pushes up out of the pool and drips naked next to me I note probably fifty thousand dollars worth of jewelry on her.
Helena wraps the towel around herself. ”This is going to sound insensitive to her disability and I don’t mean it that way at all, but whether you sign it, or write it, or say it to her face – Jodie Lerner doesn’t know how to, or chooses not to listen. She does what she wants and everybody best bloody well get on board with it. Haven’t you seen that side of her yet?”
”In fact, I have. This week I can’t seem to get through to her either so, I’ve got to get up at 0-dark thirty tomorrow morning and have an emergency departmental meeting about her, and one of her students. Phyllis’ hands are around my neck to do something about it.”

Blackbird’s love charm is working! Can’t get enough of this story.
Perfection again! I really, really dislike Jodie Lerner. I could never see Bette w/her. I understand it was the artist thing that attracted Bette but really she has nothing on Tina. Discussions on art are highly overrated. Tina is a much more exciting, well rounded individual with wide interests. More, please. I now believe in fortune tellers and talismans.
Work that “charm” Tina!!! ;)
Oh please continue soon! I really love where this story is taking us.
More please. :))
Oh that charm is working so well. Little by little, it’s breaking down Bette’s facade of settling down with another person other than her true love. Her truths show themselves to her heart and she can’t ignore them. Helena is my hero in her part in assisting Bette in seeing her truth. Bette’s evolution is moving forward.
Another fine piece of work, my dear friend. I’m in awe once again!
Love where this is going the ice cream was a great bonus. More please. I am totally in.
I liked this scene between them in the end. I so much hope in a kiss, but you left us hanging, that’s not fair :P
but I see the charm work, and a bit l Iike a slow burn them!
After the debate between Bette and Jodie, I hope Bette see how shallow woman is Jodie really, and how self-centered, because she can not see the consequences of her actions. it’s time for their relationship to end, right? ;)
really liked the chapter!
Original French 75 recipe makes 1 cocktail (Tina’s had three!)
2 fluid ounces lemon juice
2 fluid ounces gin
2 teaspoons simple syrup
1 cup ice cubes
4 fluid ounces chilled Champagne
1 lemon or orange slice for garnish
1 maraschino cherry for garnish
Next, combine lemon juice, gin, and simple syrup in a Collins glass. Add ice cubes, fill with Champagne, and stir. It’s very pretty with a garnish slice of lemon or orange and a maraschino cherry. However, where I live they don’t tack a lot of fruit on the glass but do drop a nice fat cherry inside.
This drink was created in Paris, France around the time of the First World War. It was said to deliver a kick similar to the French 75mm field gun.
Ms. BB, I was intrigued by the name of that cocktail, so I googled it. It has a history going back quite a bit. Rachel Maddow should make on her Friday night show when she features cocktails. She’s quite the mixologist.
Liked it, as always! I’m so glad you’re sparing us Bette and Jodi scenes. I can’t bear them together. They just don’t fit with each other! It wouldn’t work, not even with a love charm.
I can see the Tina’s charm is working, thought! But I’m pretty sure it won’t be needed, since Bette already knows how deeply in love with Tina she still is.
Helena and Bette are hilarious, they hate and love each other! I think it would have been great if they wrote more scenes with them together, what a pity.
THANK YOU!
BB..bartender, bring us another round!…ahhh, our jealous Bette; the fortune teller working her magic…yes! Detail and scenery are remarkable…transporting the reader as if we are there w/ your characters. Self centered Jodie is pushing Bette away…I can live w/ that. Bette doesn’t need Jodie and her slobbering….keep her away!….ahhh, but Tina working that tongue on the ice cream….priceless. Thx for another fantastic post my fav writer…and that cocktail….shivermetimbers….hearty har, har…..Badabing!!!! awaiting your next post!!
I still hate Jodi. Thanks
I love a jealous Bette….know it is wrong, but so funny. Thanks for all you efforts, I really looking forward to reading this story.
Yes! Bette’s feeling the effect!….
I can stand Jodie.Amazing story,amazing drink.Thank you.
Blackbird…amazingly detailed story …love the pool story.. funny as hell. Helena stirred Bette up.. haha. and love the Tina and Bette sharing the ice cream and mocha.. my thought went further than that. lol anyway great story.. thanks for sharing friend!!!
Bette and Helena plotting together is so funny. Is the charm working? On whom? Tina or Bette? Bette needs to scare away Jodie with her Bowie and take Tina down the road of love. Keeping posting, please.
I actually think you are the Charmer with this story BB !
