No Good Deed Goes Unpunished Chapter 15
Bette found herself sitting in Peggy Peabody’s office early Monday morning. The cold was still lingering and her head was pounding. This meeting, however, could not be avoided.
Bette: Peggy, thank you for taking the time to meet with me.
Peggy: It’s no trouble darling.
Bette: Peggy, I’m just going to skip right to the reason I’m here. I have to give you my notice.
Peggy: Ok.
Bette:. I do want to thank you for all that you’ve done.
Peggy gave Bette a sly smile.
Peggy: Truth is, I knew you were leaving.
Bette: What? How?
Peggy: How many times do I have to tell you that I know everything.
Bette gave her a disapproving look.
Peggy caved.
Peggy: There is this website that people in the industry rely on. Some of the stuff on there is pure rumor, but most is true. I think it’s TalkingBroadway.com or something like that.
Bette: Oh, All That Chat?
Peggy: That’s the one.
Bette: So you read on there that I was leaving?
Peggy: I did.
Bette: When?
Peggy: Last Thursday.
Bette: I didn’t even audition until Friday.
Peggy: What can I tell you?
Bette shrugged.
Bette: Are you disappointed?
Peggy: Darling, I couldn’t expect you to stay in this role for the rest of your life. I’m happy for you, taking on such a risky project.
Bette face contorted in confusion.
Bette: You’ve read the script.
Peggy: My dear Bette…I’m the secondary producer.
Bette jumped to her feet. How could she not have known about this?
Bette: What?
Peggy: Miss Kennard sent me the script to read. I thought it was inspired and so I agreed to back it. Easy as that.
Bette: And you knew who Tina was?
Peggy: After that day you spent crying on my couch over her, how could I forget her?
Bette: How long ago did you find out about this script?
Peggy tapped her chin deep in thought.
Peggy: About 6 months ago.
Bette: And you never told me?
Peggy: At that time, what was there to tell?
Bette: I guess nothing. I just feel like everyone has been in on this behind my back.
Peggy: They were.
Bette: What?
Peggy stood to face Bette eye to eye.
Peggy: You had just started to feel better. None of us wanted to ruin that.

Flair, are you trying to tell me you can’t hold your drinks in?? LMAO
Damm a trust retreat, aww hell NO!!
just kidding this is going to be fun for the gang. Can’t wait to see what you getting us into. Have a good sunday don’t play to hard. LOL
I love it darling!!!! Have a nice Sunday… get some rest ok?
Great job!!!
flair, thanks so much for the 2nd update today! i wasnt expecting to read another chapter till monday! god, i need to get a life.. planting myself in front of the computer on such a lovely weekend! ah well….:)
Hmm maybe they’ll get there and there’ll be a problem just like Chicago. That way Bette + Tina will be forced to share! Sounds veryy interesting! Can’t wait! Enjoy your rest day, you need it :)
Lovely story really. Feel so good to read your 2 posts this morning. Good start of the day. Good weekend and post soon, thank you so much!!!
Now your talking LOL! Hey flair I Love it if you make it to funny I know you always give us some funny Story I still Love it flair yes Alice and Alex their really funny too and I can’t wait flair to read more of this Amazing Story and Thank you for posted again Have a great day and Have a great night.
YAY! On to the next chapter…comedy courtesy of Alice and Alex and bonding with Bette and Tina….Daphne and Melanie can’t possibly cause that much havok, huh? Although, why do I get the feeling that Melanie wants Bette and Daphne is for Tina?
I totally and utterly trust you with my heart, and appreciate this addictive rollercoaster ride you’ve taken us on. A retreat, let’s see, Bette and Tina will have sex, and it will be great, but Bette will regret it? Or will Tina exercise so much control as to not come on to Bette or resist Bettes advances no matter what? Wait, I’m supposed to trust you, sorry! Can’t wait, and thank you for posting twice! How I love thee Flair Maiden, still throwing long stem roses over my computer in your honor! LOL
Wow… that last line just… *shivers*
I mean, they are making so much progress it’s going to be so hard to watch Bette go back to that time in her life, you know, the highest high and the lowest low…
Anyway, I guess all the worry about it coming out a bit cliché got thrown out the window? You definitely have a gift there =D I know I’ll read your fic and get surprised, sad, maybe even angry, but never bored.
I really like Bette and Tina’s relationship at this point. The way they hang on to that strong feeling they have, but don’t allow themselves to give in to that.
Just one more thing: Al and Al rule!
Awww…lm so excited about the upcoming chapters..This is gonna get interresting!! Enjoy your day off Flair..U deserve it!! x
A trust retreat….now THIS is going to be “amazing!” LOL I cant imagine what it is going to be like, but with Alex & Alice, its definitely going to be funny as hell.
Thank you Flair for another awesome chapter and may you rest well on Sunday.
I’m hoping that during actual production, Melanie turns out to be a bomb and Tina has to step in as….herself!! (hint hint)
Oh wait….I’m getting waaaaaaaay ahead of the story.
i am with JBlover4life maybe they could share BUT i´m start to know your evil mind..lol..please dont let Tina share a room with Daphne and make more trouble..i wanna see happyness love and sex..not trouble..stop been mean with all of us …lol..i´m so glad Tina is waiting for Bettes time she knows what she did and now the only thing she can do is wait for Bette trust and have faith in her again..great chapter thanks Flair :oP
Excellent chapter Flair.
The retreat, sounds like some loving to me. Hey! a girl can hope.
Excellent chapter Flair.

wow 2 posts in one day! Thanks Flair. I can’t wait to see what you have planned for the trust activities. oh the possiblities! post as soon as you can, and thanks again for your great story.
Well girl , gotta tell you since I wasn’t able to check in over the weekned I just got caught up. You never cease to amaze me, nor am I ever disappointed. The last three chapter were truly beautiful. Taking it nice and easy, they’ll get there I know, and I also know your going to entertain us as only you can along the way. And with the other two goof balls, well, I just can’t wait. As always, keep it comin.
Wow cant wait for this retreat to happen. locked up in a cabin in the woods sounds fun and exciting. maybe some B&T loving!!
Where is the cabin? Can I go there and wait for them???
Cannt wait for the retreat!
UHoh, look at Peggy all hott for Alex. And the playful script throwing was cute, I think Tina is pushing it a bit with this retreat. Man, you know I’m praying for Bette, I hope they can at least be haooy, but some shit is unfirgivable.
A Trust Retreat With Alex and Alive got to be fun. Now Daphan and Melaine Hope they are smart enough to leave Bette and Tina along Not to make passes. I believe that Bette and Tina will come away with a good friendship this time. They need to be friends before lovers.Thanks for a two for one Get some rest and come back fresh Monday
Your Tina is a wussy wench..hehheeeBut I love Bette :P
oh pray bette, cause ur a puppet and the master is controlling u. so what happens in tomorrow’s chapter? oh wait i forgot there is no chapter tomorrow. NOOOOOOO! god may take breaks on sunday but u could be like higher than god. u could be god’s god and take over on sunday when he’s not there! okay now i’m just babbling.
i loved this chapter. it was getting back in the comedy groove which i never tire of. a trust weekend? makes me picture people in a circle chanting koom-by-ya or something. which is a really funny image if ur in my mind (plz take a note u never wanna go there)
also the great peggy peabody gets her information not from CIA spies as i suspected but from a website. I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING! so of course i loved it.
now as tough as it is i’m gonna carry on tomorrow without reading the next chapter in your story. i hope u realize the strength i have to call on to do this. please come back on monday, same time as god and give the little people below what they want. u must be scared now, well i’m gonna stop talking or typing and leave u with your a fantastic writer. i tip my cap to u
This cabin outing sounds fun! I can’t wait to see the Dynamic Duo out in the wilderness lol Thanks for being considerate and posting twice for us, flair!
A trust retreat? Drama always happens in the woods! I know from personal experience. This shall be FUN!!
Above all, a BIG package of thanks for having post a second update SO quickly ! I wish you the most delightful Sunday’s break ever !!
Then… let me blush now : a “mwah” just for me ?? Wow, I’ll make people jealous here !! (lol)
Finally… Well, I WAS sleeping but my alarm clock awaked me for a “collector” duty (I think you know what I mean…) and just before to rrrrun back to my bed, I was crazy enough to check the updates list… Now call that Fate or… Flair ! (lol)
So yes, you’re right : I’m a silly girl indeed ! And proud to be ! (*wink*) … and more than you thought, as you can see, since I’m staying awake just for your story and my comment now ! Am I not a quite admirable and soooo deserving reader ? Well, I pretty think the silly girl would deserve an other “mwah” for such an acurate sense of duty – or frightening addictive behaviour, your choice !
*********
This Peggy Peabody is such a great character… I always liked a lot her special and precious relationship with Bette. Thanks for bringing her back !
“Once she passed through these doors, there would be no going back.” Now that would be a perfect ad for your story, my Flair lady !! But yes : just change “she” with “you” and it would marvelously depict your readers’ endless tortures’ road… As written on Dante’s Inferno’s gate : “lasciate ogni speranza, voi che entrate” ! (no, no, my name isn’t Marina, why do you ask that ?)
Tina, the new soup chef ! How I love these winked allusions to the show… so funny ! (By the way, I’m still waiting my chicken soup, Miss ! Did you book plane’s ticket ?? Hurry !)
Now, tell me why I got the strange feeling that Alex, Alice, Daphne and Melanie will be chaperons and perfect alibi for an unofficial “trust weekend” for two ? I wonder why I thought that… (lol)
This Melanie is something ! I love Bette’s funny reaction between her and Tina. Well, well, I really cannnot wait for this Jersey trust weekend now…
Once more – and I guess you guessed I’ll say that ! – I adore the way you depict Bette and Tina’s interraction with such a subtle touch… It really transform every “innocent” details into so meaningful ones. Powerful.
And the way you began this rehearsal with Tina’s restrainted want for a hug to end it with the sweet release of it ! That simple “event” gave me such a thrill…
With you, the inevitable unconfessed, shy, long-lasting courtship will be quite a journey ! A true torment of Tantalus, no doubt about that… And yes, it will be just the most exciting, erotic way to bring our scared but withdraw-symptomed lovers together ! God, I’ll be more addicted than ever, I’m afraid… (…afraid ? Well… of course not really ! It’s such a delicious feeling…)
… now, the totally unreasonable sleepyhead will ENDLY go back to bed ! Sweet dreams, please come back to me too… (They will, no doubt, now you brang so much tenderness in my sensitive little heart !)
P.S.: Too bad for you, I’m reading your other answers too : soooo, torturer of my heart, you confessed to be a “B&T fan” ? Yes, you said it ! Awwww, now that’s a good and relieving thing to know ! This way, I can reasonably hope a happy end for my dearest lovebirds, hmmm ?? Great !! I got you, I think ! (*big amused wink and smile*)
Ohhhh!!! I like this whole trust retreat. Hopefully Bette can come to trust Tina again. Very interesting!!!! Can’t wait!!! Hope you have a nice Sunday off, but make sure you give us a great one for Monday.
So, could you hurry please & write another chapter? If they “broke up” in the mountains, maybe they could “make up” in the mountains. Post soon.
Ahh!! Lucky Me I come home from another crazy night of DJing (alas no one w/me) LoL and lo and behold a new chapter !! Yea!! Can’t wait for the next one, and FYI I give anyone who can act much respect as I can’t remember lines or put on an act for everyone all I do is spin music and watch people get freaky with it!!! :) Hope to see another chappy tomorrow!!
THank you so much for these last two posts! Can’t wait for the retreat!
I love this story so much! I hope you have a couple posts for tomorrow as well!! Alice and Alex are too much, and i hope that tina and Bette find there way back to each other. My heart skips a beat with every interaction they have with each other!
OK, Flair, I can definitely settle with a “B&T loving not yet” BUT I can´t handle a “not at all”!! Hey, am ignoring your comment and hope for the best, hu, how about that? By the way, am loving Alex and Alice together! They are simply hilarious!!!They make the perfect counterpart! Grrrreat!5 stars!
So you’re pullin’ over to a rest stop? Good. ‘Cause I’m really tired. Between the drama you dish out (which I adore) and that other that is real life, I’m worn out.(There’s something trite about the ride/sports car/Hummer metaphor I want to give up, but as of now I’ve decided it’s really just too engaging…But I’m actually not sure you even let me back in the car.) As per the story, the future looks delicious! I’m eatin’ up every word of it. Proceed!
cant wait to see tinas reaction to bette and melaine together when they start the rehearsal
i’ve been catchin up with this sequel and can’t help fallin in love chapters over the weekend. ha…you’re amazing!your story juz kept me reading non stop!do post soon..!
Flair, I just really really really love this story, the pace, the twists, Alex and Alice (that soup whore comment cracked me up!).. its so bittersweet it aches my heart at times. Can’t wait to start up my laptop and see if there’s a post each morning (we’ve got some time difference, I live in Holland). Even when I came back (half)drunk last night from Dance Valley (Europe’s largest and best dance festival!) I had to check if there was a new post. So I guess I just want to say THANK YOU! And please go and do something with your writing skills, bring out a novel or something!
You my dear Flair are a genious with this trust weekend stuff.I was LMAO the whole chapters through.I like that you use locations like the hospital it brings a sense of familarity to me. I woork right by the hospital.Enjoy your Sunday.
I’m through with playing by the rules of someone else’s game,
Too late for second-guessing,
Too late to go back to sleep,
It’s time to trust my instincts,
Close my eyes
And leap…
good lord flair i hope they survive this should b rather hilarious!! excellent chapter..cant wait to c what awaits!
K
Excellent two chapters. I like the friendship but would LOVE a real relationship, you know love and sex lol. Can’t wait for more.
oh this shoud be interesting. lets hope alex/alice can controll themselves, im sure they cant. but truly this could be good for b/t. i really do wonder where you come up with this stuff. a trust retreat. these walls need to be broken down.
you have a good day tomorrow. you deserve it after all the hell and then some happy stuff you put us thru this week. well be ready for monday.
Yay! I caught up! Now…GET WRITING lol.
Hmmm, the best kinda sex is in reclusive cabins in the middle of nowhere… hint hint! :)
A retreat – $500.00. Clothes for said retreat $1000.00. Drama for our girls and Tomfoolery with A&A-PRICELESS. Can’t wait.
Wow, this was actually nice for a change….B&T getting reacquinted and becoming friends again. It’s ok that you take it slow with these two, but in the end they will be together, right? I’m not sure what to believe with you in helm. =)
Ah Bette, you’ll come out in one piece, I promise. In the hands of FFD, you’ll be fine.
Is there going to be a zip cord run and that trust-fall stuff?
I think I’m going to gag.
Outward Bound, here we come!!!!
Hey FFD:) As you can guess, I’ve caught up with all your story by now. What can I say? Wow! It’s really amazing… touching, amusing and full of drama of course. I’m really sorry my English isn’t better and I can’t describe you how much I do enjoy it, but please believe me, you had me smiling, and with tears in my eyes, and laughing out loud, esp because of Alice. She’s precious! :) …and that they all cherish their friendship,it’s cute! That’s definitely one of my very fav. stories! If you are as good actress as a writer you are… damn, I’m impressed! BTW, like the others, I would really like to know the face behind the words. What you say? Anyway, have a nice Sunday, but don’t forget to post tomorrow!LOL. I don’t have any outstanding chapters to read, so I can’t wait for your next post!
Damn this is interesting and excited, and can’t wait to see what’s next. Alice and Alex is crazy and still so fucking funny and love it. Post soon please, thanks!
This will be fun!!!!!!!
