No Good Deed Goes Unpunished (sequel to Can’t Help Falling In Love) Chapter 4
When Bette awoke the next morning she prayed the following evening had been a dream. It wasn’t until she rolled over and practically landed on the floor that she realized it was all real. The play, Tina, the conversation, all of it, her worst nightmare. She sat up on the couch and stretched her sore legs. It was time to beg for Sara’s forgiveness. Bette approached the bedroom quietly, tip toeing so as not to wake her girlfriend. Her jaw dropped when she looked at the bed…empty. She ran to the bathroom, Sara wasn’t there either. Bette spotted a piece of bright pink paper lying on the dresser and ran to retrieve it.
Bette,
I had to catch my plane…
Sara.
Bette: *****.
Bette fell back onto the bed.
Bette: *****! *****! *****!
She ran for her cell phone, but it was dead. After finding the house phone she frantically dialed Sara’s number.
Bette: I’m so sorry.
Sara: Bette don’t. I’m about to get on the plane and I’m not in the mood.
Bette: There was an accident and…
Sara: Bette, save the excuses for someone who will believe them.
Bette knew she had been wrong. Sara was the best thing to happen to her in a long time and there was no way she was willing to lose her.
Bette: I’m sorry baby.
Sara: I know that we have an agreement…an open relationship, which I think is just fine. I’m always away and you’re there alone. But I flew in for one night Bette. One ***** night for your goddamn birthday!
Bette: I know, I fucked up.
Sara: Oh you more than fucked up.
Bette heaved a saddened sigh.
Sara: Just tell me, with you with someone else last night?
Bette: No. Absolutely not. I walked home from the bar.
Sara: Bette, that’s like 20 blocks.
Bette: I needed to clear my head.
Sara: That’s a lot of clearing…
Bette didn’t want to get into all of the gory details, but she owed it to her.
Bette: There is a new play up for production, about me.
Sara: What? A play ABOUT you? Who would write a play about you?
Bette: Tina.
Sara was silent.
Bette: It’s about our relationship. She needs my permission to have it produced.

Bette: Every time my heart beats. Jesus Crist..that is love or what?..oh my..i´m sad..really..Bette dosent deserve such pain..i told you Tina on your knees..but i have to agree with Tina in one point Candance is a awful name ewww..amazing chappy Flair but please my heart just suffered enought can you please FIX this..i beg to you..thanks :o(
is this ever going to stop being so heart wrenching? Although Alex is keeping the scale even with the humor. Longing for another chapter.
Very excellent chapter, but everything you write is nothing less. You broke my heart once with this story, please dont do it again. I see hope and progress towards a reconcilation, but I also know how you like to throw twists in there. So I’ll try and contain my emotions with tis. Just remember with this reconcilaion, IF they have one, remember you gotta crawl brfore you walk. I did have one problem though, now Sara seems like a cool chick, but she lost ALL cool points with me when she called Tina a twit. She dont Tina like that. I will choke the shit outta her, ROFLMAO!!!! Again great job, please post soon???
Yes, that last reply from Bete, was absolutely amazing. I love this story so much, I’m addicted. I hope they get to talk to each other face to face. Please post again soon.
everytime my heart beats.. omg thats just too freaking cuteee!! Bette still loves Tina and she needs to realize that. The heart always overpowers the mind, and in this case it has every right to.
“Bette spent the rest of the afternoon drowning her sorrows in pint of chocolate chip ice cream Fritos and Lifetime television.”
Haha that made me laugh because that’s something I do. I love Golden Girls, and that combined with junk food can really bring up your mood!
Great update. I can’t wait for more.
Bette: What’s your aversion to Candace?
Tina: I don’t know something about it makes my skin crawl.That was perfect! Flair, you are amazing. How can you have me so addicted to a story? Of course, once again you leave me crying. Please post soon
Okay you broke my heart with the “everytime my heart beats” comment! But the Candace reference was funny! I agree it is a terrible name! But it is better than Helena!
everytime my heart beats…….WOW. You have such a way with words. We are all blessed that you continue to share your story with us on a daily basis. It is truly amazing. By the way I have never met a man, women, gay, or straight that does not LOVE the Golden Girls. Why is that? I now have the “Maimi” song running through my head!LOL
every time my heart beats….damn flair! please post soon. I am like a drug addict, waiting for a fix.
i now come to your story with trepedation. i get a knot in my stomach. this cant be good for me. but shit, every time my heart beats. give me hope and crush me and i dont know if ill ever recover. ice cream and chips, thats the way to do it. and apologies, very good. soon please. has the crazies slowed down yet. any more music.

Great new chapter Flair. Don’t break our hearts again. Iloved the bit about Candance.
every time my heart beats. That was so sad,yet so beautiful. THANKS
You´re amazing!!! I love it!!! Please post soon…
I don’t know if it’s the right time for me to post a comment about your fic… I’m still too angry at how things turned out for them (you know, angry enough to keep coming back desperate for an update ~.^)
Anyway, with this last chapter, at least I think we can all breathe a little, huh? =P
Oops, my time is almost up here, so let me just say this one thing: you have this amazing – sometimes rather disturbing – talent to.. uh.. hit your reader in the gut, you know, get a strong reaction, which I think is great so congratulations for that.
And oh, what a cruel joke this “Candance” thing…
DAMN GIRL!!!! everytime her hearts beats. You are killing me and I love every minute of it.
i love this fic! the push, the pull.. its gutwrenching but so worth it when you come up with lines like, “everytime my heart beats” wow! can’t wait to find out how this will unfold..but no doubt, i’m sure there’s lots of drama to come for these two..especially when, as you say flair, “no good deed goes unpunished!”
I concur “everytime my heart beats” that’s a killer line.
I recently started reading Fan Fiction and have become addicted. It is really helping to fill in the long wait for next season.
I am especially taken with your story Flair. I have to say that I was heartbroken at the end of part one of the story, and pray (along with many other fans) that you will bring our girls back together in the end. It seems that it is going to be a long road. I am certainly enjoying the journey. Please post again SOON!
DAmn! I felt a pang in my chest when I read “Apologies”..You had me laughing so hard with the ice cream & lifetime then the Golden Girls and now I’m holding back tears! You are Fantastic Fanfic Girl!!
The last comment was the truth for both of them!!!!!!!!!!!!
K
Great chapter, come on get them together already lol. I had to say that. Like this, but would LOVE it if they got together lol.
wow!!!AMAZING!!!and very Beautiful…
Flair, I miss your story and you “Every time my heart beats.” Please pleaseeeeee
“Every time my heart beats.”
I know everyone else quoted it too, but damn girl, you’re good! I hope Bette doesn’t make Tina wait too long. *Crosses fingers*
As per your Author’s Note…let’s get one thing straight…there is no “maybe” to it…Please?
“Every time my heart beats”…Where, how do you come up with these knock-your-socks-off type moments?…Your talent is excruciatingly pleasurable…Thank you for sharing your gifts.
WOW FAIR! I love the golden girls stuff, hilarious! I’m so happy that Bette and Alex are good friends, he’s such a fun character. And my heart just broke again when Bette said “every time my heart beats. . .”(sigh) Please post again soon. . .
Bette wanted her name to be candance LMFAO!!
OMG…what CR00 said..this does not bode well…Bette’s not gonna do Tina’s girlfriend…is she?
Damn “everytime my heart beats” that was amazing and awesome chapter. Please post soon, thanks!
OMG..I hope someone says that to me one day!! Flair..Can you say it to me??!! Pretty please! x
I can’t wait for the next chapter – “everytime my heart beats” now that’s a quote to go down in history
Another great chapter.I am all hooked up with your pic. Here I am 12- 16 hours ahead of you and first thing every morning is to check for the new chapter. God, just can’t wait for another one!!!

apologies.wow.that’s excellent…
Well well, we know that FFD will get tina and bette together (wink) so… the anguish, the pain, the sorrow will eventually wilt away in a few chapters. Am in! thanks for the update, luvin it…
OK Flair, now I have to go out and find someone to fall in love with whom I can use your lines and sexcapes on….(laughing but serious)
“Every time my heart beats”… GOD !!!
Is it really fair to make us melt this way, fulling our Sunday with such an insane sweetness in our hearts ? How do you want to begin an other week after that… Your story is such a trap for fragile romantic readers like me ! A tender trap, of course, but a trap all the same. O la la…
How I loved this “battle between Bette’s heart and her brain” ! We all know these sorts of battles and, well, they’re certainly the ones that need a fast surrender ! Heart being the so expected winner, of course…
Now, I got a pretty clear feeling about your state of mind right now, teasing author of my heart : you KNOW so well how both thrilled and heartbroken we all are travelling through your dizzily rollercoaster… and you enjoy that a LOT, don’t you ? Yeessss, I can see your amused smile ! Ah, machiavellian girl… we love you and we hate you now !! (lol)
However… I must confess my endless pleasure following your story’s heartbreaking lows and highs – even if it’s a pretty unbearable low currently ! – simply because it’s a SO wonderful drama story !!
Well, because of you, naughty girl, I’m no more a wise and patient reader but an awful junkie, burning in advance for any revelation you’ll be kind enough to let escape, now we begin to see the perspective behind Tina’s action…
God, no doubt you’re an actress ! Now, are you satisfied with your begging and addicted audience, dangerous charmer ???
Few last words before I drop the curtain down : Alex, you are more than ever wonderful ! What our two lost lovebirds would ever do without you ??
And you and I have something in common here : I always adored the Golden Girls ! Good bye, dear Alex ! (*wink*)
Can’t wait until they meet face to face……oh the chemistry, the sexual tension, love, and the ultimate undying attraction to each other. They can’t ignore that can they?
You are incredible.
You do such a great job w/these characters. Still loving the story.
I have a feeling “everytime my heart beats” will take on the same popularity as the “OMFG” line from the show!!!
Wonderful as ever flair….and as much as we try and rush you towards their reconciliation, don’t!
The agony along the way will make it all the more worthwhile!
This story is just too wonderful — the pacing, the character development, the turn of phrases…..thanks
Flair, you know you are killing me softly, what a line:-
Every time my heart beats, pure and simple and straight to the point.
Each chapter keeps getting better and better.
Looking forward to next post.
Thank you.
I love this story…please keep it going
I guess techgal is not the only one who’s left speechless after the lasy line..
WOW..
Bette:Everytime my heart beats. God your killing me and i love it. You are amazing and I wish you could post evry minute, so start writting.lol
Candace Joke: Hysterical
Bette’s confession: adorable
Bette and Tina apart: agony (in a good way. . .a very good way)
Title: LOVE it (read the book wicked and meeting Kristen Chenowith was the highlight of my life)
Having you make a sequal to your first fanfic: Priceless.
And an idle question – Could Tina be dating Alice?
My favorite GG moment: The girls are planning a party – I don’t remember the event – they’ve hired a planner who’s just effusive and over the top. Blanche says something like, “You’re just about to take off and fly, aren’t you?”
You said, “As we say in the industry…Break A Leg! :)”
FFTD – In fanficland, maybe the relevant expression would be, “Break an index finger!”
P.S.: The makeup sex (if it occurs) should be tremendous!
Bette’s last line left me speechless.
You’re such a tease. You give us hope and then you seem to take it away. But maybe this time things will be different….that B&T will meet and live happily ever after. I can only dream and continue reading your excellent story.
Congrates on your award it is so well deserved. Wow my heart is breaking for Bette as she really hasn’t worked out Tina yet and it looks like Tina hasn’t either. Why oh why Tina I still don’t get her cutting Bette off. But I hope Tina is more mature now.thanks
OMG!!! That was absolutely the most romantic/heart-breaking thing ever!!! I’m just saying!!! I love you for writing this story–it’s fantastic! And I loved the reference to Candace, hysterical! Please post again really soon–thanks.
beautiful.
and, congrats on the award. well-deserved :)
