No Good Deed Goes Unpunished (Sequel to Can’t Help Falling In Love) Chapter 6
Bette was frozen in shock. She couldn’t believe the woman standing in front her.
Alice: Can I have a “hello” or maybe a hug, even a “***** you” would be fine.
Bette shocked expression gradually changed into a huge smile.
Bette: Well ***** you!
Alice smiled back.
Alice: ***** you.
The look on poor Sara’s face was absolutely priceless.
Bette grabbed Alice for a huge hug!
Bette: I thought maybe you fell off the face of the earth!
Alice: I didn’t fall. I dove!
Alex: Maybe you should introduce your girlfriend to Alice.
Bette: Oh right, sorry.
Bette blushed with embarrassment.
Bette: Sara this is my Alice.
Sara shook Alice’s hand.
Sara: I wasn’t aware that you had an Alice.
Alice: Either was I.
The two women smiled at each other and fell into easy laughter.
Bette: Why didn’t you tell me were going to bring Alice?
Alex: I tried to but you cut me off.
Bette: Oh, right…sorry.
Alex gave his friend a hug.
Bette watched carefully as Alice and Sara became fast friends. Something about the sight of them put her heart at ease, even if only for a moment.
Alex: Do you mind that I brought Alice?
Bette: Mind? I’m grateful. I was hoping it would be her and not you know who
Alex: Tina?
Alice and Sara turned their heads toward Bette and Alex.
Alice: What were you saying about Tina?
Alex: Nothing.
Sara: Yeah Bette. What were you saying?
Bette: Jesus, would everyone calm down. I just said I was glad Alex brought you. I was afraid he might bring Tina.
Alice: Oh.
Sara: Oh.
Bette: Damn right “oh”.
Alice: Sorry, it’s just she is still my best friend.
Bette: I know that. And no matter how angry I might have been, I have never said a bad thing about her.
Sara: It’s true, trust me. I’ve begged her to say awful things and she just won’t do it.
Alice gave Bette an apologetic smile.
Alex: Ok, well this has been fun and all, but I need a little drinky!

Lol, I’m starting to know you better and better. I knew it was Alice, I told you so. If Bette would have seen Tina she probablly would have passed out. LOL. HUMMM, did you turn my poor dear Tina crazy???? You know Tina is my gurl in this fic, so you better take care or her ~wink~. Ok, nice double post in one day, thanx for this fic, but not for the heart attacks.
Let me say that there is one thing I love more than this story and that is the title.
“No act of charity goes unresented”
*wink*
Best musical I have ever, EVER seen.
Hey Flair CONGRATULATIONS WHOA! Did I tell you that your gonna have and Award I think so WOW! I’m so really happy for you Flair you deserve it Thanks for the Amazing Story I Love it I’m still catch up Please post soon.
hey flair! congrats on the award! you deserve it! your story is one of the best! Okay now back to the story…I think Sara seems like a nice person and I am grateful that she was there to help Bette out, but please get her back with Tina soon…you are ripping our hearts out!
Come on, come on–post another PLEASE! Pretty please with cherries on top.
Joining Alice’s choir: BETTE, GROW UP!!
I mean, not that she doesn’t have her reasons to avoid Tina, but… let’s face it, Bette knows it and Tina knows it and so do Alice, Alex and even Sara and Laura and whoever… and you know what, if the “they belong together” is too much of a cliche, let’s put it another way: Bette is only going to ruin Sara’s life if this goes on much longer.
I wouldn’t mind Alice dating Sara though =P And Tina being insanely jealous over it ~.^ *lol*
Great work and congratulations!
Parfait ! Une fois de plus… J’attends avec impatience la suite.
Once more – and never too much : all my most sincere congratulations for your SO deserved award – and all my admiration and gratefulness for your story !!
By the way, you’ll have to correct your “author’s bio” now, my Flair lady : “awards : NADA” isn’t true anymore !!
And what a delirious reaction of all your addicted readers at the end of chapter 5 !! That’s GREAT and makes me feel so happy for you ! Well, that’s an other award for you, I guess. SO deserved too.
Now, return to comment…
And because I wasn’t there in time to comment chapter 5, I’ll do it too with the current chapter 6.
Really, you gave us a poem here… I close my eyes and quotes from it come back from my heart to my mind, with the lightness of a tender music :
“Every time my heart beats”… “Every second of every day”… “You said you think about me every time your heart beats, well my heart beats ONLY when I think of you”…
God, I’m more than melting…
What a devastating letter from Tina… You so totally got me here – for a lot of reasons… Heartbreaking, really.
My goodness, to suddely realize years passed only to bring endless regrets and remorses is one of the worst things ever… Life is so short for such mess…
Now, “struggling through one painful heart beat at a time” : that’s a quote for us, poor mishandled readers ! (lol) Yes, that could me our motto here !
Sorry for all these quotes I copy, but these two chapters brang so much thoughts and emotional stuff to me… For exemple, this so right statement about Bette’s vain attempts to control memory and past emotions : she “tried so hard to build this fortress around herself (…) it was a losing battle.” Something that brings me far beyond the simple story level, really. Because I’m an expert about fortresses and lost battles.
What Jackie said about Bette past and current relationships is the language of sense, but one never truly listen this voice… Heart’s language always speaks louder, it’s a fact. For the best and the worst, of course. Just too powerful to be fight… Well, to be fight a long time at least.
You know, Bette jumping on Sara right after having read the letter made me think about the show – S2 – when Tina tried to do the same thing with Helena, just to “erase” the too devastating emotional effects of her brief encounter with Bette ! That’s really like jumping on a chocolates’ box to forget worries… A so human bittersweet reaction !
Thanks to your talent, Sara is a problem here ! It’s obvious she’s really a nice girl and she brang our Bette out of the dark tunnel of despair… right… So of course she doesn’t deserve any hurt… right once more… So you make us feel really bad and guilty wishing Tina’s final victory ! You are pretty dangerous, you know that ? And please stop to laugh now, cruel girl !
Seriously, nothing is hard like feeling we’ll fatally hurt such a good person… It would be SO easier to find any possible reproach to get an alibi ! Pretty unfair…
(… hmmmm… unless finally, one day, your two unlucky-in-love girls, Alice and Sara, together… well, no no, I don’t say anything !! (*wink*))
Chapter 6, now…
I like the way you reunite all the witnesses of the past here (well, almost), in a so significant place (a theater for life’s comedy) without any bitterness but a sweet nostalgy and endying friendship… It’s so hard to be in-betweens, like Alex and Alice, without loosing affection of the two ex-lovers.
Now, from what our priceless Alice said about Laura (“She’s with her for all the wrong reasons. Of course Tina would never tell you that.”) is so similar to Bette’s situation with her own consoler… It’s so easy to (dangerously) mix feelings when you become deeply grateful with someone who’s truly caring, devoted and helpful with you. But even the biggest affection, tenderness and gratefullness reunited never could match the tiny four-letters word that contains a world…
Finally, the pinacle. Your today’s masterpiece : the cell phone picture scene. God, what an idea of genius !! This secret Alice’s mission, how magical yet heartbreaking…
That’s exactly how intense moments can be filled with beauty and cruelty together… Drama, drama, heavenly drama !
I had a confession to make to you here, dear talented Award-winner author and drama master : this last scene totally broke my heart and… yes… made me cry rivers, silently, from the very bottom of my heart… Because, well, in a particularly personal way, I can so fully relate with it. Unforgettable scene, thank you for these so moving but beautiful tears…
Thanks a lot for everything.
Faithfully yours.
DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! Good chapter Flair. Please post another tonight. congrats on the award. it is well deserved. This is my favorite story about TiBette.
After reading and commenting on your first post today I had to run into the city for an appointment…On the way home I stopped and splurged on a bottle of my favorite fine wine. I’d like to savor another glass this evening while pouring very slowly over every word of your 3rd post today. Think you can handle that? Cheers…And congrats on your well-deserved award. Awesome.
AWWWWWWWWW, It`s so sad
camon please let it be happy
GRRRRREATTTT! That was great!!! Hurry, hurry, write more. Post quickly. The suspense is killing me. I can’t wait to see how you finally get them back together for a face to face meeting. Please put me out of my misery soon.
hey, one of the lurkers comeing out from the shaddows :) this is my first post but I read from the start. awesome story!! damn, I so wish I read the first part. I know I’ll catch up with this someday but now I can’t resist reading the sequel! and tonight I’ve got 2 chapters all at once, thanks! but… I definitely want more! :) so I think it’s my turn to please and beg for another chapter- can I have it on breakfast?? pretty please;)
I’m so glad it wasn’t Tina — she wouldn’t just pop up like that, especially after promising in her note to honor Bette’s request to stay away. And, besides, it’s too soon. And yet the waiting is torture … sweet torture, though. Thank you for another amazing chapter — I second all of Therese believeit’s comments.
Brilliant.
Yep, brilliant.
I love Tina. But, I am so ticked off with her. I don’t blame Bette for not wanting to see her. I don’t want Bette to see her. She’s got a heck of a lot of explaining to do. However, I am sure our Best Drama Award Winning Author will come up with wonderful tidbits, insights and heartbreaking lines to draw us back to rooting for Tina.
That was totally breathless…sucked the air out of my lungs, I didn’t realize I was holding my breath…Beautiful…pls more….
sigh. i love this story so much i hate you.
I am still not over the fact that Tina wrote the screenplay in the first place. That saying “don’t shit where you eat,” comes to mind! Congratulations on this wonderful story, as well as the award! Looking forward to meeting you in New York.
It’s amazing how something as simple as a camera phone can warm hearts like that. Alice made it even clearer that Tina isn’t happy with her life now and that she truly is still in love with Bette. Now it’s time for Bette to realize the same thing. Sara + Alice can get together and then everyone will be happy! Can’t wait for more!
Ahhh you’re killing me, flair, and I LOVE you for it!! This is getting soo exciting!! I really look forward to reading your story daily. :) Thanks for the twofer!
Who knew a cell phone could break your heart! Let’s go for three.
