Brokens Girls with Strange Frames (Ch. 23)
I craned my neck, trying to figure out what she was doing. Touching her hair? I shot a quick glance toward Eric, all the way at the other end of the table, but he was engrossed in conversation with someone else. I looked back at Bette and Tina.
They’d turned back to the wall and were discussing one of the Opie pieces again, but I was somewhat more interested in the slow, leisurely appraisal of Bette’s body that Tina was currently engaging in.
I choked on my wine.
Spencer patted me on the back. “You okay?”
I coughed, sputtering a little.
“It’s okay,” he said to a few concerned strangers, “she’s always choking.”
I reached for my water glass and swallowed a healthy mouthful, willing myself not to look in the direction of Bette and Tina again.
“Ew,” I muttered under my breath. “Gross. Gross, gross, gross.”
Spencer leaned in. “Are you talking to yourself?” he whispered.
“Yes,” I whispered back.
“What’s gross?”
“That guy Eric’s presumably straight girlfriend checking Bette out.” I pointed discreetly to Eric. Spencer glanced at him and then turned his gaze toward Bette and Tina.
He shrugged, looking at me blankly. “How do you know she’s straight?”
Good point. I drank my water nervously. “I don’t. But-I mean-it’s still gross.”
“Maybe.” Spencer eyed me warily. “But you told Bette not to walk on eggshells around you.”
“I know what I told her, but-” I halted abruptly because Bette had just taken her seat next to me. I watched Tina walk to the other end of the table and seat herself next to her boyfriend.
I turned to Bette. She was smirking.
“Bette,” I whispered urgently. “Bette.”
“I can hear you,” she said mildly, buttering a piece of bread.
“Forget it,” I said. “She’s taken, isn’t she?”
Bette took a sip of wine and glanced at me furtively. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said in an innocent tone.
“I noticed her checking you out!” I said, a little louder than I meant to. Bette gave me a dark look and smiled politely at the guests around us who had taken notice. I grimaced and poked at my food, not feeling very hungry at all.

ugh ALice Alice Alice…Your stories have the strangest affect on me. I laugh, worry, experience melancholy, hide my head behind my cushion, feel ashame and hurt all at the same time and all because of your wonderful writing..
I didn’t know if I had to laugh or feel sad for Alice, it was a great and kind of unsettling chapter…
Please, update faster, I have a plane to catch soon and I wanna have the time to know what happens in the end!!
xxx
Ok..lm a massive fan of ur story!! Post more!! I wanna see where & how far Bette takes this..before actually falling for the lovely T!! x
That was an amazing chapter – it seems… true. Your grip on these characters is incredible. Bette is arrogant but that is a part of the package, and people like that are often attractive even when you know you shouldn’t get taken in.
Alice is wonderful. Period.
So…when does the worm turn?
I am SO looking forward to the skid marks as Tina jets away with Bette’s heart. Bette has a hard fall coming, and I’ll be in the Peanut Gallery, cheering for every minute of it!!!!!!!
Someone has already entitled a fic, “Turn About is Fair Play,” but I swear, it would be PERFECT for the B&T portion of this story!
Thanks!
She IS hot and she DOES have nice arms and more than that, she and her buddy Alice are so well written. I’m with you on every emotion, Rach, and you’re taking us through a LOT of emotions.
I like your decision not to follow the standard avenue for the Tina and Bette meeting. Alice has such a torch burning for Bette. But I think that in the beginning, when they were in Bette’s office, I think that Bette really did like Alice more than she let on. She just has so many walls around her heart that she can’t just let go. At least, that’s the way it is with Alice…Tina on the otherhand.
I feel so badly for Alice because I know what’s coming, but then again I know Bette and Tina are so much more. Poor Alice I love the girl and it’s going to hurt, but I can’t help but route for B/T !
holy shit…damnit alice she should no better than to challenge bette..n bette she can b an ass..but im still addicted cont..soon thanks
i’m so enjoying this story. i love your bette. and your alice.
