”What? Are you kidding! That’s horrible, Bette. Is he insane? I mean truly mentally ill?”
”Debatable. He’s a college art student. What do you think?”
”Bette, if we go right up here we’ll be on a film set doing a nineteenth century piece. Except for the horses it’s pretty quiet. Look, turn here.”
As we walk down the dusty facade of an abandoned main street I wonder where to start.
”I feel…” We both say at the same time.
”You go first.” Bette smiles.
”I haven’t talked to you in a while.” I look at her quickly.
”School, end of the semester and Phyllis! Absolutely driving me crazy now that she’s a lesbian.”
We turn down a busy Back Lot street headed to the canteen. ”Trust me, I’ve got you beat. There’s an all out lesbian drama going on around me.”
”And Kate Arden?” Her tone has a catch of aggression.
”The picture’s director?” I ask as we approach the catering truck. I order a mocha frappe. I tap my studio credit card and wait to see if she’s going to order. ”What are you having, Bette?”
She browses the beverage list. ”I have a sudden craving for ice cream. I’ll have a strawberry cone.”
”I’m putting this on the studio card. Do you want anything else?”
”No, fine. Thank you.” She takes her ice cream and begins to lick. ”This is delicious.”
”You want a taste of this? It’s pretty great, too.” I hand my frozen chocolate drink to her.
”Sure.” She leans in to sip and offers me a taste of strawberries.
Studio Lot – Bette
Earlier this morning as my hand had reached for the snooze button a third time I had heard a text alert on my phone. At this hour? The nerve.
TEXT from Phyllis Kroll, Office of the Vice Chancellor
”Due to a scheduling conflict with Professor Lerner be advised our meeting will not take place at 9 am.”
PK
Two thoughts had sprung to mind as I had read it: Unbelievable and Thank God. Actually, three: Turn off your fucking ringer. I’ll see you people when I see you. This is ridiculous. And I’d put the pillow back over my head and gone back to sleep.
When the meeting had finally convened per Professor Lerner’s overriding scheduling conflicts – and even though I had felt well rested – the circular logic and disproportional ludicrous rhetoric I heard had irritated the hell out of me. I had chewed into the discussion with an articulate chainsaw. Then, Phyllis had called a recess.

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 !
