Peggy looked around the circle, from Helena, to Tina, to Alice, to Candace, to me.
“My, God, what is this?” Peggy exclaimed in astonishment. “Isn’t this an Edouard Pince Gallery Opening? Or have I mistaken it for a chapter meeting of the ‘I-Fucked-Bette Porter’ Club?”
“Mother!” Helena cried out in embarrassment. “Come with me right now! Excuse us,” Helena said turning and taking her mother by the hand to lead her away.
“I think I’ll be going now. It was nice to see you all again. Good-bye, Bette,” Candace bade her departure.
“Oh, there’s Mr. Pince alone,” Alice remarked promptly. “I wanna talk to him about his top ten exhibitors,” she said, turning quickly on her heels to make her exit.
That left Tina and I staring at one another.
“So, what’s new, Bette?” Tina asked.
Chapter 26
I narrowed my eyes and looked intently at Tina. When I answered, I ignored the real and implied question she was asking.
“Things are quite good lately. My job at CU is challenging, but fun and rewarding. Financially, I’m back on my feet. Kit’s making me an aunt and Angelica a cousin…”
“And you’re fucking Helena Peabody,” Tina interjected nonchalantly.
I tilted my head and gritted my teeth. “Not that it’s any of your business, but, yes, Helena and I are seeing one another.”
“You’re sleeping with the ‘dragon’?” Tina asked sarcastically.
I smiled uncomfortably, remembering the conversation to which she alluded. “Tina,” I said in a cautioning tone. “Please don’t go…”
“Why? Why are you fucking her?” Tina disregarded my warning and pressed forward. It was obvious she was eagerly committed to a verbal altercation. “Is this some kind of twisted way of trying to hurt me?”
I noticed in my peripheral vision that people were starting to stare at us.
“Tina, will you keep your voice down, please?” I directed, placing my hand on her shoulder for effect.
She shrugged my hand away. “Don’t touch me, Bette. And don’t tell me what to do.”
I took a deep breath and exhaled audibly, then said softly, “Tina, this is neither the time nor the place to engage in this conversation. I’m going to turn and go now. Have a good evening.”

Groowwll!! Nice ending!!! I liked how you handled the Tina situation as well, carry on!!
Well, Tina took it pretty well, even if she was kind of a jerk. I wonder if Helena was able to teach Peggy something about discretion, old dog, new trick. There is some hope because it sounded like Peggy took a page out of Alice’s book. So, Peggy’s a salty dog and and her daughter’s a feline sort. No wonder they fight.
that’s hot! =) waiting for more!
I missed the chance to comment last chapter. 1st, I have to agree with Susanah. I am so sick of Alice acting like it was she and Bette who’d been together 8 years. Hell, it was just a few weeks and she keeps holding on to that the same way Tina is holding on to her anger. Loved how pleasant you made the Tina encounter; although I don’t think she deserved such gentleness.
Ahh, nice! Tina did take that decently enough though she still held that air of Tina-ness so it was very believable! sexy ending and another good chapter. :)
cool chapter…maybe tina will finally, finally – i say – grow up! the chemistry between b&h is soooo palpable. thanks!
I’d like to become a member of the I fucked Bette Porter Club, but for now I’ll settle for honorary status….LOL. I almost caught myself feeling bad for Tina but then i realized that she screwed everything up by going back to Bette after Jely was born but not being completely committed to fixing that relationship. Tina needs to realize that sometimes love isn’t enough and it’s not a reason to stay in an unhappy relationship. I believe that Bette does still love Tina, but like she said she’s in love w/ Helena. Post soon zheese (pretty please)
I just hope Tina stay away and not make trouble…Post soon!
Good chapter Zheese. You handled the Tina situation very well. I myself don’tlike confrontations either so I understand your reasons to write it this way very well. Keep up the good work girl
Nice writing… Bette is the confrontional type though, and I can’t see Tina so calm too… But please continue!
yeah, I agree with skycaptain, Tina so calmly is a little unbelievable… but nice as well :D I’m glad she can understand that B&H really love each other and that she cannot ruin that. And as much as I don’t like confrontations, I think they are always due to the ex partner and Bette was totally doing the right thing letting Tina talk to her. Those two tigresses are sooo fucking hot :D
hi..haven’t left a comment here in a while but thought i might this time because i was very impressed with the way you handled the Tina confrontation. well done! thank you
This is good writing, I can’t picture Tina being THAT calm though…they’re sitting around like they are having tea talking about feelings…lol…there HAS to be some more drama coming. please post soon.
Great update, zheese. Thanks! You handled the Tina & Bette situation well.
it was good to see tina act in a civilized way upon hearing about helena and bette. I cant wait for the next chapter of love making : )
Zheese, Brilliant. I adored Tina’s reaction to Bette and Helena’s love affair. Then topped with Bette’s stance over her new realtionship. Really awesome and astounding writing. I do agree that Tina threw away the best thing in her life when she cheated on Bette. Now that ship has truly sailed as Bette and Helena continue on the “Love Boat” cruise of lust, longing and love. More please real soon as I can’t get enough of your wondrous words. The conversations just ring true. Thank you. Your Loyal Fan.
Very well done Zheese, the Tina situation was handled very weel, LOVE Peggy and her outbursts, now i too would love to become a member of the ‘i fucked Bette Porter club’. Bette and Helena, sexy as ever. Can’t wait for the next one!
