Bette pulled onto her street just after three o’clock Sunday afternoon. She didn’t know if Tina would be home or not, and realized she only cared because if Tina wasn’t there, Angelica wouldn’t be either. Tina’s car was not visible in the driveway as she approached. Maybe they had just stepped out for a short while.
She walked in the front door to see Kit and Angelica playing on the living room floor.
"Where’ve you been?" Kit asked as she looked up. "All Tina would say was that you didn’t stay at home last night."
"I’ve found it hard to spend time here over the past few days," Bette replied. "But I’m glad to see you Kit. It’s been too long."
She slipped off her shoes and walked into the living room to sit with the two of them on the floor.
"Bette this is your sister speaking," Kit said. "Where have you been? I know you and Tina are calling yourselves separated now, but you can’t just disappear and not have people wonder where you’re at."
Bette didn’t expect to be confronted by anyone or she might have had a chance to fabricate a believable tale. She knew Tina wouldn’t press too hard for details, but she hadn’t counted on having to deal with her sister.
Even what little deceit she had been forced to take part in over the last few days was getting tiresome. And she knew it would be next to impossible to lie to Kit anyway.
"I’ve been seeing someone," Bette admitted. "It started after Tina told me about her affair, but it’s been pretty intense."
"And intense is what you need to deal with right now?" Kit asked. "Because I’m thinking a few days of calm would do you a world of good."
Bette sighed.
"When has my life ever been calm Kit?"
"So who’s been pulled into service as your rebound date?" Kit asked.
"I’m not sure it’s someone you know," Bette wasn’t ready to give it all up yet.
"Try me baby sis. You’d be surprised how many people I’ve gotten to know since I started running the Planet."

Have i mentioned that i love this story JKS ? Its brilliant but then so is everything you do – i love this – and i am looking forward to Tina being gobsmacked !!
Your writing just leaves me wanting more, more, more! Hope Helena won’t be gone a few days in “real time”, but that does leave open the possibility of torrid phone sex! Thanks for the chapter.
This has always been an interesting story, and this time I found your writing just down right funny sometimes. What a nice surprise! Looking forward to the next chapter :-)
Always glad to see another chapter. It’s one thing to sneak around, it’s another thing to spy. Tina should be ashamed for that. Can’t wait for the reunion sex between B & H, nor can I wait for their revelation to Tina. Make it soon.
Really enjoying the story. Like the way you write about the blossoming relationship. Love this story
“Only pursued work to the detriment of your woman?” Boo-yah, grandma! Favourite line. Nice chapter, pal, excellent pace.
May I say yay? The time has finally come and I only hope that you’ve decided to give us drama in the next chapter…jks, I must admit that I was secretly hoping that Bette WAS talking to Helena, with Tina walking in as she did. Ahhh, what a girl must wait for….keep us your fantastic writing and clobber us over the head with the next chapter!! I’m anxiously awaiting this one…………..
JKS….I feel it coming. post soon
Thanks for posting, I’m really digging the story and can’t wait for more.
Thank you another wonderful chapter…Now I’m wondering if Tina is having some second thoughts?? Which would be normal even considering she is the one who started this all…it’s quite a different feeling when the one you expect to hang around and wait suddenly starts to drift away…I’d be getting very nervous if I were Tina… but then again if I were Tina we wouldn’t be in this situation, now would we!!! Tks JKS
I think Bette and Helena are a good match. They’re both growing up without worrying about money and other trival stuff. So they could be rather romantic even now. Will Tee regret she let Bette go? I hope she will….
It’s genius! I love this story so much!
“I’ll miss you too’ FINALLY somebody says that to Bette :D Loving it JKS!!! Can’t wait till they tell Tina!! Funny about the Alice-call haha LMAO
Good God JKS, you have me so addicted to this story I feel as though I am lying in wait for your next chapter to arrive…only to pounce on it immediately when it does! “…she also felt as though a chapter of her life was ending and the ability to turn back the pages was ebbing away, try as she might to grasp at the parchment.” Does this mean thatTina wants to turn back the pages? And this, “rather than worrying that Bette still seemed to vacillate between admitting she had feelings and denying their union could sustain itself beyond the short-term.” I didn’t get the feeling that Bette was thinking about this as a short term relationship, so I was surprised that Helena felt that. But, maybe I am not reading closely enough. I think she worries that others might think this is a rebound affair, but I feel that Bette thinks of this as more than that…and, knowing that Bette does have feelings for Helena, I would have thought she would have called Kit on her statement, “So who’s been pulled into service as your rebound date?” It makes it sound so cheap. God…like I said, addicted!! Thanks!! Hey, it’s the weekend, maybe we can get one more before a crazy week starts on Monday???? :)
Well, what a masterful piece of writing this chapter is a joy to read from start to finish. Gotta love the way you get Kit so right on. :) The phone conversation was a beautiful set up for 1) making us think it was Helena and 2) for making Tina start to think about what the hell is going on around her. I know we aren’t supposed to see much of Tina in this story but what you’re giving us in this one chapter explains so much about where she really is emotionally. She really appears to have moved on without giving much thought to the consequences of her actions beyond it meaning she’s not “with” Bette anymore. She is cutting herself off from her friends. Bette and Helena are dealing with things in such a mature manner; it is a lesson for us all. But at the same time you allow everyone to have moments of weakness and strength in this chapter … makes them all so much more believable as really women. I love the humor in this chapter as well; it’s kind of like the sunshine before the storm. Thanks JKS.
You’ve got me hooked. Either Bette or Tina could move on if they are honest with each other. I am ready for anything on the show. Your story makes it seem ok. Thanks.
Love this story and your writing. Looking forward to the next chapter!
Great chapter JKS. Really enjoyable and suspense is building. Tina’s going to fall apart it seems or reach a breaking point. Await the next one!
LOVING THIS…BRING ON THE DRAMA!!!!AHH Tina is starting to feel something at last and as with another story on this site i wonder if Tina will handle Bette moving on even though she herself seems to have!!! Like i said its one thing to move on, its a different thing to see your Ex doing it….So i cant wait oh and feel free to drag it out…lol…
I have been a fan of your work for a very long time and I must say that this story has me completely hooked. You write Bette and Helena in such an erotic and passionate way that I am totally captivated. In less capable hands it would read as lewd and completely unbelievable but with your carefully chosen words there is a richness that it feels so romantic and heartfelt. I truly feel how connected these two are and I totally believe they are headed down a long path together. Like Helena, I too was enjoying the clandestine nature of their affair but I look forward to seeing how the complexities of the outside world will impact their relationship. If Kit is any indication, I really feel for Bette and Helena. Also, as hot as these two have been, I couldn’t help but read some sort of melancholy in Bette that I am not sure you were putting there. Maybe it was just their impending disclosure, the fact that saying it aloud makes it seem more real. For Bette the unexpected closeness with Helena must be so electrifying and terrifying all at the same time. Like one of those crazy amusement park rides. And while Bette seems to be in an accepting place around where she is with Tina, it is an ending non the less, and with that comes some level of loss and those pesky little questions like “How did we end up here and how do I keep that from happening again?” Although, in the end, I think it will be Tina kicking herself for the choices she has made.
Bravo. Wonderful. I am rooting for them 100% – and personally think they’ll make it past the short term, if allowed… and I don’t mean just by you – I mean by their friends too. And Kit? Back off, big sister — Tina has this coming, whatever “this” is. Has Kit been oblivious to Bette’s pain? I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt and assuming it’s her concern for Angelica and not a condemnation of Bette. Has no one noticed that Bette cannot make it work on her own, despite her very best efforts? Where’s the Greek chorus reigning hail and scorn on Tina — the same ones who so roundly dumped on Bette for her transgressions with Candace?! Surely Bette must engender some sympathy from them, including her own sister? Ok, enough, I’ll stop. Your writing is without equal – I love these two, love the story and personally hope Tina gets left with lots of time to play with her boyfriend.
I still feel sorry for Tina,Bette did try and Poor Tina really though that she could treat Bette like a door mat and she would be around forever. Like Helena and Bette together. I just hope that this last for ever thanks
Absolutely amazing. Hope you can post soon, Maybe another one before the end of the weekend? :)
I am jonesing for your writing. Every day I look for this story when I enter this site. I actually say'”YEah!” when I see “Wanted”—jks. Do your friends find you addictive?
You write beautifully and thoughtfully but, I can still only see one woman with Bette and that is Tina. Helena just does not do much for me with Bette. Thanks for the post.
I know this is fiction, but I still wouldn’t want to be around when that bomb is dropped. The tension is palpable. All ‘L’ is going to break loose! (Isn’t that a tired twist on an old cliche????. It’s not mine, don’t blame me.) You’ve got the power, JKS, use it wisely! Thanks!
Love it! I can’t wait for the drama to unfold.
I think Tina will be very very jealous and mad at Helena most of all.
This story is absolutely wonderful. Very down-to-earth and realistic, yet so entertaining! The talk with Tina should be interesting, as well as the (inevitable?) flirting that might occur at the gallery/fundraiser opening.
Holding my breath until I see what happens when they tell Tina. Wow, what a tangled web you’re weaving here. Wonder if Tina won’t change her mind and catch Bette in a weak moment while the cat’s away. Thanks for writing – love it as always.
God… I don’t want to love this story… but I do. I do.
Its ONLY a matter of time! I too was happy that Bette would be missed! LOL! Thanks for incorporating Kit,because she is definitly a dynamic to work it to it! Wonder why Tina pressed redial…does she care? Hmmm! Looking forward to the next chapter. Thank you again.
So glad to read another chapter of this story.
I LOVE THIS STORY! It’s my favorite one on the site now and that’s saying alot! Finally, someone will miss Bette. I thought kit was alittle judgemental on Bette but then, I think that on the show too (as well as Bette is too hard on Kit sometimes). I guess though, that’s what sisters are for. My sister and I are quite blunt with each other just as the Porter sisters. Anyway, I can’t wait for Tina’s reaction to the news. Will Helena tell Tina about her long-standing crush on Bette? And if so, will tina feel angry, jealous, relieved, used, or all of the above? Just wondering because one of the main things I thought Tina got from her relationship with Helena was a newfound self-confidence. Will that confidence be shaken when she learns Helena wanted Bette all along? If she’s still angry that so much of her life revolved around Bette for so long, then news that Helena always secretly coveted Bette will be even more difficult on Tina… talk about ego-bruising – ouch.
As always, brilliant. Can’t wait for more!!
How deliciously intriguing. The bit on Tina has my attention. I can’t wait to see how exposure of their relationship withstands external impressions and reality postulated in other people’s eyes. The mutual physical want is obvious in the two characters of focus. Yet I feel one is more in tune with emotional need at this time. Will this liaison – currently sheltered in secrecy – flourish post announcement? Again…I can’t wait. Thanks!
I can’t wait for the next chapter. Tina is going to get the biggest suprise of her life from B&H. Hope all the rest of the gang supports Bette’s choice.
Hi Fins, this continues to be a favorite story! Just two thoughts…since Bette is not working, why can’t she go to NY with Helena??? She could easily say that it is work related. Here’s the other thing, Bette and Tina have been together for many years and I think that Bette owes it to Tina to tell her privately about Helena. Now I know that Helena and Tina has a very short term fling in the whole sceme of things, but I don’t think that she should be there. I have a feeling that it is going to be a very emotional conversation for both Bette and Tina, where they are really cementing the fact that they are through as a couple and I think after all the years and times they have been through, Tina deserves the respect of doing this privately.
I’ve succumbed to spoilers and to this fabulous story. Okay, I’ve been secretly reading it all along, but I dared not comment until now. This has got to be one of the best stories on this site right now, and I love every bit of it. You have Helena’s voice down pat, and I even feel Bette’s interest in her is moving beyond the physical realm. Definitely looking forward to Tina’s discovery of these two. I Totally agree with what pulsar03 suggested…Tina’s ego/self-confidence will indeed be bruised by Helena’s coveted feelings for Bette. Delicious, simply delicious!
Wow! Have I told you lately how much I am enjoying this story? Your writing is as phenomenal as the story you have created. And just in case you forgot…I don’t give a damn about Tina. It’s karma baby…
JKS, I am begging you with all that I am to post the epic battle between Bette and Tina VERY soon. I’m guessing Tina may want to turn over 10 tables when Bette and Helena go public. Furtermore, when Tina walked into the house in this chapter, Bette should have said, “that was the woman who I’ve been fantastically screwing my brains out with from sunrise to sunset on the phone…how’s your autonomy working for you now, Tina?” JKS, your writing is amazing and I am looking forward to the next chapter. Oh, and can you make Tina REALLY beg Bette to take her back? Sorry, that was me just getting out some anger before the train wreck that will undoubtably be tomorrow’s episode.
This is so excited and let see how they talk to Tina and what’s gonna happen!
Damn! That was close, really thought Helena was on the other end of that re-dial Tina made. Seems like Tina is having regrets – Too Bad, So Sad – Her loss. Bette & Helena are great together.
I have to admit that I wasn’t orignally on the whole HellBette relationship train but reading this story changed my mind. I will always be a Tibetter to the heart but Tina has been acting a little Sh!tty this season. She only deserves what is coming to her. I just hope that it won’t be so devestaing that she pulls a Marina.
That was an interesting chapter, a few thoughts I would like to toss in, will we be getting any chapters on what is going through Tina’s mind the phone conversation with Alice sets it up for a chapter or two reading the many comments that have been left there seems to be no love for Tina but I think it is only fair that we have some insight into what she is going through it cant be easy for her. On another note I feel Bette should be telling Tina about her relationship with Helena by herself, they had a relationship going on what 8 years they have a child together, I just feel that Tina is being ambushed so to speak and the wind is going to be knocked out of her, any colour that Tina had in the moment of being told by Bette that she is seeing Helena will turn to gray. I look forward to reading more, as others have said your story is very well written it is up their with Skipton’s story, the only two that have my stomach in knots.
So great….
i wonder why tina still cares about who is bette seeing if she’s sleeping with another person herself? is there some feelings between them left? interesting to see how tina will take the news
