9 to 5 For Service and Devotion Chapter 5
Bette had spent the remainder of the evening locked in her office. If she was going to make it to poker she would need to finish with the piles of papers stacked on her desk. The impromptu meeting with the captain set her back an hour and now she determined more than ever. It was a chance at another night with Tina, even if her friends would be there too. It was a great chance to get to know the blonde better and that was all Bette wanted. Access to the mysteries that hid behind Tina’s eyes. She glanced down at her watch once more. 1 hour.
Tina sat across from Helena in a private booth at a sushi restaurant on the ship. A restaurant that Tina didn’t even know existed.
Helena: I heard the food here is quite good.
Tina nodded.
Helena: Do you know what you will be having?
Tina looked at the menu for only a moment and then back to the leggy brunette across from her.
Tina: I’m not a big sushi eater…
Helena was caught off guard.
Helena: Oh, I’m sorry. Perhaps we shouldn’t’ have come here then.
Tina: Oh no. I didn’t mean I don’t like sushi. I just meant I don’t have it often so I don’t know what to get.
Helena breathed a little more easily.
Helena: Oh…well, in that case, why don’t I order for the both of us.
Tina: That would be great.
Helena: Excellent.
In one quick motion she gestured for the waiter who hustled over.
Helena: We will have…
Tina looked down at her watch. 10PM. Shit. She was supposed to be back at the room by 11. There was no way she was going to make it in time.
Helena: Tina?
Tina looked up from her thought.
Tina: Yes?
Helena: DO you like Sake?
Tina: Sure. Yes.
Helena: Excellent…
She continued ordering, unaware that the blonde had mentally checked out.
Tina sighed to herself. When she spoke with Helena they had decided on dinner at 8 but very last minute she received a phone call from Bridget informing her that Helena had been a bit occupied and needed to reschedule for 10. She desperately wanted to cancel but she knew how much this meant to everyone, especially Bette.

Holy SH**, Bette is mighty pissed. How will Bette treat Tina on the tour tomorrow and will Helena be among the guests?? Bette has feelings for our blonde friend. Great update. I cannot wait to see what happens. PPS
this was quiet funny (poker) except Tina. What she is thinking? Hate Helena right now
Great story. Where is Bette headed? Hopefully to see Tina.
I’m not gonna hate on Tina. Nope. Not gonna. No way. Anyway, shouldn’t Bette’s first thought be that Tina was out with a guest? Yeah, I thought so. Bette, that girl done got under your skin!
I can’t wait until Bette runs into Helena or is that over Helena, ah but Bette has a pesky job to keep, such difficulties! Love the d.r.a.m.a.
Please let Bette be on her way to Tina’s room! PPS
I am enjoying the story but I can’t believe that Tina would be so naive to think that she’s helping Bette by going out w/Helena. Kind of juvenile thinking on her part. But that’s just me. I do like the interaction w/the friends.
Ohoh, angry Bette – definitely not good. So, she´s gonna knock on Tinas door in five, remind her of the “no go” with the passengers, storm off and spent the rest of the night regretting everything she said . .wait till Alice finds out-that´s gonna cost Bette a few grey hairs. Great update.
drama-rama…i just hope that Tina’s dating Helena will really help Bette but i think it won’t and now Bette’s angry..uh-oh
why us tina acting like she likes helena? she wants bette. but i will say that an angry bette is such a turn on!
love the drama. people are so dense sometimes. thx
Great story… i had a bad feeling about this when I started reading and I’m so right. I hope Bette’s headed to see Tina and everything will be explained! But then there’s not going to be the drama right.:) No No make it better! Thank you!
got a feeling Bette’s going to find someone tonight… :-PPPS!
Hmmmm…what has Tina got herself into? She is WAY over her head with Helena. I guess we are in for a bumpy voyage.
again mis-communication between the two…Tina thinking good deed and Bette will be on the war path…so good…Thanks for the update.
As was the case last time… of course I am jealous ;) As if you didn’t know I would be! I’m not sure how much longer our relationship can subsist like this before it turns completely unhealthy for me… as I fail to have ‘dates’ of my own LOL! Perhaps I have completely passed that point (don’t tell me if I have ;) ) ANYWAY – LOVED this update. I love the strip poker scene! You write all of the characters so perfectly… everyone has such a distinct personality and I swear if you didn’t label who was speaking the lines, I would still be able to tell you who was saying what. You get us every time… reeling us in and then cutting us loose only to lure us right back. You’re SUCH a tease ;) I wish I could convince you I was annoyed by it, but I’ve told you that I like the foreplay in the plot development (get your mind out of the gutter or I will tell your date!!). I LOVE an angry Bette. Is your temper one of your Bette qualities or is that something you find attractive? ;) I can’t wait for the next update. You have created a very UNIQUE and vivid world here, I almost feel like I know these people and am reading a true story about my friend’s relationships. Creates a very strange deja vu effect ;) If they do another author dinner, will you promise to go and save an autograph for me??
me thinks Bette Porter gets VERY jealous!!! and of course tina needs reminding of the fact that staff do not date passengers! Lovin’ your work flair pps…oh and very soon!
Okay, so Capt. Crabbycakes is going to go off on Tina tomorrow during the tour. I guess I’ll be standing in line with Tina to see the shrink. So they’re not going to talk, but go straight into fighting. Will Bette date Brigette?
Arrgh! Bring on Bette in her element..wonder if she will confront Tina immediately…please? PPS!!!
Where has Tina gotten this completely daft idea that seeing Helena is a help to Bette? So naïve! I suppose she’s never experienced jealousy in all its forms… I guess Tina and Ms H. Peabody are in for a massive dose of Bette’s “anger”. Great post, flair, thanks!
an angry bette porter is a hot bette porter, can’t wait to feel the wrath!!!
Well, I suppose Tina wont be able to explain Bette WHY did she go on a date with Helena. I mean.. she can explain, but I dont think that Bette would understand.. but who knows? PPS, I like your story very much)
