Chapter 17
“I’m not letting sex cloud my judgment.” Even before the words were out Tina knew she was deceiving herself. She knew very well that the prospect of sex with Helena was very much the driving factor in her actions. It wasn’t that long ago that sex clouded her judgment when she went after Josh Becker. Tina thought about that and knew that Bette was thinking the same thing when Bette wouldn’t relent.
“Tina please…”
“We haven’t done anything.”
“But you want to.”
“Yes… Does that bother you?”
“Does what bother me? That you want to sleep with Helena or that you’re back with women?”
“Does it bother you that I’m back with women?”
“I don’t know.”
”You don’t know?”
“I guess I haven’t really given it a lot of thought Tina. I admit you caught me off guard with your declaration at the party. I thought you were still involved with ‘scrupulous Henry’. You hadn’t mentioned breaking up.”
“I told you not to call him that, besides Henry and I haven’t broken up. We’re still very much involved.”
“What about Helena?”
“He knows about Helena. We have an arrangement.”
“That’s very progressive. You’ve certainly evolved since our breakup. I would never have expected that you would agree to share yourself like that. I know you said you were sexually fluid but poly-amorous?”
“Well you said it yourself we’re ever changing and evolving. I don’t expect you to understand but Henry really cares for me. He’s willing to do this for us to stay together.”
“Honestly Tina. I’m not judging. You’re both consenting adults. If you and Henry have an agreement to practice polyamory and it works for you then maybe you’ve found your answer. I can’t imagine too many men that would agree to their girlfriend having a girlfriend.”
“It’s not like I’ve done this before Bette. Henry could see that I was still interested in women. He’s accepted that I want to have intimate relationships with them. Helena is the first and I haven’t even slept with her yet.”
“Then it’s not too late. Of all the eligible women in West Hollywood why Helena Peabody?
“Why not Helena Peabody? Why you are so against my being with her?”
“I’m just trying to protect you Tee. I care about what happens to you. Getting involved with Helena Peabody is not in your best interest. This attraction of yours can turn out to be fatal. I wouldn’t want to see you ruined by it.”

Love the quick update. Tina is such a fool. Thanks
OMG!!!!! If only Tina would listen to common sense. She will live to regret being so impetuous, maybe. I knew she would not listen to Bette.Tina acts as though she has lost her ability to discern negative actions . Poor fool. Thanks for posting.
Hi Bat, thanks for the update. The bad news is that Tina is still sinking the good news is that she is back into women, well indeed it seems that Tina has to keep falling more and more, I am surprised that she didn’t get any professional psychological help (she was the one looking for it in the show, well, I know this is not the show) and she really need it, Tina should stop the placebos as Henry the situation here is that Tina doesn’t have a real friend and Henry is just a friend with benefits, but the one that get the more benefits is Henry and not Tina, as we read, after several months Tina is still subsiding. I think Bette must have talked to Tina before Helena arrived to LA, because now is too late everything looks too awkward. As sad as the story is, I love it, please don’t hesitate and keep posting and I will be waiting for tomorrow’s chapter. Thanks again pps.
proteonomics – I agree that Tina continues to sink and her relationships with both Henry and Helena is disturbing. She should get some professional psychological help but if you recall on the show she didn’t. She went to Foxworthy when they were trying to have the baby and after she miscarried but once she got pregnant with Angelica she dismissed therapy and it was Bette that sought out Foxworthy on her own. It was also Bette that suggested they see the sex therapist after the baby was born and they were having problems. That’s the main reason why I had Bette in therapy even though it was also to introduce her love interest (Emma) because I think Bette really wanted to be a better person while Tina just acted on her impulses with total disregard for how it hurt other people. Even in the way she used Henry was heartless.
As for Bette talking to Tina before Helena arrived in Los Angeles – I don’t think she anticipated Helena using Tina or putting her in danger.
Getting ‘back to life’ and ‘back to reality’ after my break and happy to see your regular postings continue.
I love and will read all your stories regardless of my aching Tibette heart at them not being together simply because of the talented way you write both the stories and the characters. I find myself wanting to ‘smack’ Tina in this post but you will know that! Wkm is right she is ‘a fool’ and your Author’s Note was not quite correct in that she certainly did not ‘hear’ Bette.
Thank you and look forward to your continuing posts.
Hi SassyGran – it is hard to get back to life and reality but glad you were able to take a break. Sorry this story is so heartbreaking. I hesitated to re-post it but I appreciate that people are still reading and commenting. You are correct Tina didn’t ‘hear’ anything Bette said, but she will come to her senses in time.
TINA is another forecast:cloudy with a slight chance of thunderstorms.How in GOD’s name does she not see the control HELENA is exerting over her life.BETTE did warn her but the storm is fast approaching and TINA will get caught up in the downpour all because she is letting a cunt do her thinking instead of using her head.I PITY THIS FOOL .THANKS,ps.
dunnthat – I love your analogy. I would increase the slight chance of thunderstorms to tornado warnings!! Tina is going to sink pretty low, but all is not lost. She will come to her senses eventually. Thank you for reading and commenting
