“Oh, for bloody Christ’s sake, Tina! You’re blowing this all out of proportion!” I exclaimed.
“Out of proportion! Out of proportion!” Tina wailed. “You fucking came blasting in to California with the largest endowment ever granted by the Peabody Foundation going to the organization that I worked for, that I wrote the grant appeal for, and swept me off my feet. Seduced me. While I was pregnant. And trying to work things out with my girlfriend. Made me think you cared about me. That you were my savior…”
“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!” I cried out.
“No! No Whoa!” Tina continued undauntedly. “You were trying to separate Bette and I further and further from each other. So you could come in when the time was right, drop me, and finagle your way into Bette’s life. And that’s exactly what you’ve done. You’re fucking evil, Helena. Evil!”
Tina slumped back in her chair, her eyes throwing daggers at me.
I remained calm, my posture erect, my hands folded in front of me on my desk.
“I loathe, I rue the day I met you, Helena Peabody,” Tina added with a snarl.
Quietly, I pushed back my chair and stood, then walked around to the front of the desk. Just a foot or so away from Tina, I leaned back against the desk and grabbed the edge with my hands on either side of my hips.
“Tina,” I spoke softly, “I cared about you, whether you believe it or not. I adored your grant proposal, which is why you received the funding and the award. I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to hurt Bette. I’ve apologized to her. And I apologize now to you. I don’t know what all Alice told you, but the perspective you’re regaling me with presently isn’t entirely accurate. And, in addition, I’ll remind you that you ‘dropped’ me, as you refer to your flight back into Bette’s arms. And Bette, by the way, is privy to all of this information.”
“Not ‘entirely accurate’?” Tina asked, calming down, but still with more than a hint of sarcasm in her voice. She wriggled in her seat uncomfortably. “Bette knows about all this?”
“No, not ‘entirely accurate.’ Your viewpoint is entirely jaded by the hurt and anger, the confusion and jealously that you’re feeling right now. I could accurately and articulately argue that you used me to get back at Bette. For revenge. At least initially. And you know it.” I paused before continuing. Tina leaned forward and placed her head in her hands. “And, yes, Bette knows everything. I’ve told her the entire story of my long and intense desire for her,” I confessed. “You can ask her and talk to her about it if you wish. I have nothing to hide.” I took a deep breath and exhaled. Tina looked up at me. “You call me a snake. A ‘fucking snake’, I believe were your words. And ‘evil’. And while I admit to my past sometimes being controlled by that trait, I like to believe I’ve set aside that unsavory aspect of my nature and replaced it with qualities much more redeeming.”

you know zheese…i’ve run out of adjectives to describe your writing…fabulous darling…just fab-U-lous…i sure hope your next story is a b&h…your stuff is better than the show…kid you not…thanks!
Thanks for another great update zheese. I’m sorry to hear that you are thinking about ending this great story, but I huess all good things must come to an end, right? Screw that, what do i need to do to get you to continue writing this great fan fic for the (i don’t know) 2-3 years….LOL (but I’m serious, what will it take? BIG SMILE!)
i looooooooove your story!!! i’m a bette fan. whether she’s with tina or helena, i love it! =) i can’t wait to read more of your story! post again soon!
I love how you worked this in, leaving Tina almost eerily calm in the last chapter only to have her raring to go in this one. Helena was very Helena-esque with her gentle ways of dealing with things and propriety. Awesome chapter. I can’t wait to see what the surprise is on Sunday! I’ll be good, does that count? :D
I am a long time TBette fan as are others, but just maybe it is time for them to move on. And in the capable hands of Zheese, what could be better?
hey Zheese great chapter again. I was glad to see how you handled the Tina situation. Good job girl. Now please don’t let us hang there too long to know what Helena’s surprise for Bette is thx
This is some good writing, even though I can’t see Tina and Helena chuckling over anything right about now. Will Tina let it go? Or will she pursue Bette? I will stay tuned.
Awesome story. One of my favorites. Now bring on the weekend and the surprise.
oh wow whats is the surprise i cant wait either
I am a TiBette fan, but enjoy this story. I do think the chemistry between Bette and Helena is HOT. Tina has no right to be acting angry or hurt. She did leave Bette for Henry and “Pecker”head, so “step off” bitch. Can’t wait to see what the “weekend surprise” is ? Post soon.
I’m a Tibetter, ergo, not too too crazy about Belena. However, I love the way you write then and am a sucker for drama (other people’s, of course), so I’m still here. Great post.
Wow! Tina sure is creative! I’ve never seen such a unique resignation. Wait. She doesn’t actually expect to keep her job after ripping her immensely wealthy and powerful boss a new asshole in the boss’ own office, does she? If I were Helena, I’d fire her for the sheer childishness of it all. Even if it is Hollywood.
Zheese, Gal that was long overdue. Just a pity that Tina’s nastiness came out in spades. I do hope that this has put the past behind them and will now let all parties move forward without further incumberment from their shared history. Good to see that Helena and Bette are open and honest about their days therefore not falling into their old destructive behaviors. I have been here since the beginning and will be here for the end. The only benefit is a new story may ensue. Thank you for this marvelous and magical master piece into what might be… Your Loyal Fan.
Another great chapter, Zheese. Glad to see that the problem with Tina being solved amicably. What’s the surprise going to be .. We really can’t wait!
These ladies are effed up. Iam TiBette fan so I not crazy about a HeleBette pairing however, you write them so well that they are believable. But from hatred to love in five days??? Oh, well, it IS fiction. And they are a beautiful couple. hellahot.
ohhh, I’m so sad you’re going to end this… I love your fic sooo much! I will miss it, but as someone said, all good things must come to an end. I really hope you can bring us a new Belena fic, I need it… But I will follow anything you’ll write :D Thanks a lot for your efforts :)
Another great chap[ter zheese. So sad it’s coming to an end, but also very excited to read what you have for us next. Can’t wait to see what the surprise is, looking forward to the next one. Thank you.
