No Good Deed Goes Unpunished Chapter 27
Tina: Bette, I love you. And that means that whatever you’re going through, I’m going through too. I feel every ounce of pain and fear that you do.
Tina allowed her voice to slip into a much more gentle tone.
Bette: I appreciate you saying that T. I really do. But please don’t presume to know how I feel.
At those last few words Tina had had enough. She threw up her arms in defeat and began to walk away.
Bette: Tina!
Tina: There is just no talking to you right now.
Bette starred at Tina’s back as the blonde left the room.
Tina sat on the edge of her bed trying her best to remain calm. She wanted to help Bette. She hated seeing her like this. But she knew her attempts would be pointless until Bette was willing to accept her help. A quiet knock on the door caused Tina to jump slightly.
Tina: Please don’t come in here unless you’ve calmed down.
As the door slowly creaked open Tina kept her eyes on the floor.
Alice: Aren’t I always calm?
Tina breathed a sigh of relief at the sound of her best friends voice.
Tina: Sorry I thought you were
Alice: Bette.
Tina: Yeah.
Alice took her place next to Tina on the bed.
Alice: I heard you two fighting.
Tina: I just don’t know how to comfort her if she won’t let me.
Alice: Just give her time. I know you want to make it all go away, but you can’t. No one can. And Bette just needs to come to grips with all of it.
Tina: I know. You’re right.
Alice: Of course I am. Have you ever known me to be wrong?
Alice flashed Tina a brilliant smile that was contagious.
Tina: Tell me something.
Alice: What do you mean?
Tina: I don’t know. Just tell me something. Anything. Anything that will make me laugh.
Alice: Umm, ok. Let me think. Oh, I know! Ok, so you know how Alex and I are sharing a room right?
Tina nodded.
Alice: Well, it turns out our little boy talks in his sleep.
Tina: No!
Alice: Oh yes!
Tina: And
Alice: Are you ready for this?
Tina: Yes!
Alice: Alex must have been having one ***** of a dream because he was moaning someone’s name.
Tina: Whose?
Alice: Oh god this is so good!
Alice couldn’t even get the answer out. She sat on the bed bouncing up and down like a small child awaiting a new toy.
Tina: Al?
Alice: Oh right. He was moaning Ricky Martin’s name.
Tina: Wait, he was saying Ricky Martin’s name? Like ” Ricky Martin”?
Tina used her fingers to place quotes around the name.
Alice: No, just Ricky, No Martin.
Tina: Then how do you know it was that Ricky?
Alice: Because after he would say the name he would say something about “living la vida loca”.
Tina’s face went bright red before she began laughing.
Tina: No!
Alice: Yes!
Tina: That is priceless.
Alice: Yup, I thought you might enjoy that.
Tina wrapped her arms around Alice’s shoulders, grateful to have here there.
Bette paced nervously around the kitchen trying to plan her next move. Her heart told her to find Tina and apologize, but her brain was telling her to stay put until she could speak rationally. What had happened? Just a few days ago it seemed that everything was going so smoothly. Tina was back in her life, and for the first time in almost 2 years Bette was at peace. She was happy, truly happy. And then in one quick moment everything changed. A rapid downward tailspin had Bette loosing complete control. Enough was enough and she wasn’t sure her mind, body or soul could handle anymore. It was then that she felt the familiar vibration of her cell phone. Hesitantly she looked down at the caller id and even though the number was one she had never seen, she had been expecting to see it.

Badonna i’m so sorry, but we consider you the 1st.. cuz i didn’t really read the story when i posted.. ;) Flair, you had me LMAO with that ricky martin joke.. when i was editing the formatting i was like, what the hell is he doing here.. and now that i read it, i couldn’t stop laughing..
Yes, my dear..you have made my morning..it is only 1:11am but it is morning and you are wonderful! You make us feel so much in this story..pain, love, and laughter. Thank you for this. albeez..are you with me? missed ya tonight.
Fa6Fa6- No worries…you can be first! I get to sleep with her. ;) LOL
I’m 1st yaaaaay.. LOL i didn’t even read it yet, just done fixing the formatting, i’m off to read now.. :P
Am I the first to comment? Holla Holla big and tasties a dolla dolla! Philadelphia misses you baby, I friggin’ miss you. And there will be no fighting to be the first to comment anymore… it should always be me. it better be me now or I’ll be very perturbed. Wonderful chapter as always race, seriously. The drama flows naturally and moves the plot rather than inhibits it. I’m an English major… I know these things.
Fa6, Badonna LOL, i never understood why ppl want to be the first to read, is it some kind of accomplishment? LOL…anyway, flair, welcome home ;) poor bette, she totally doesn’t know how to deal with things that are out of her control but hopefully tina can help her through..and who’s on a phone? melvin? or sara’s sister maybe…great as always…thanks
I love Alice. Always there to break the tension, which of course sets us up to be shattered and blown away with the next bomb you invariably have in store. :)
Poor Bette :(
fegz baby – missed you to. but i am here.flair – hmmmm. dont be doing this honey. ya just barely got back, people dont need anymore drama. heehee. everybody needs to calm down and COMMUNICATE. thanks sweetie
aah.. the sister finally calls. it’s hard times for everyone… good to have company that can lighten the mood.
Good morning. Thanks so much for your kind words.. I love this Alice and Alex they remind me of Tom and Jerry I keep expecting the avil to come out. B&T sure have a lot of talking to do. Thanks
hey flair, I love your Alice. She is so funny. Her and Alex can always be counted on to provide a little levity in this very emotional story. I can’t help but think about how you got me hooked the first time and then proceeded to rip my heart out when these 2 split up! Girl you are good, because I am just as hooked on the sequel. Does that make me a glutton for punishment? hmmm maybe. anywho, keep doing what you do.
keep writing and I’ll be reading, deal? Thanks! :)
an advice for Bette.. throw your cel phone on the the ocean and never look back..lol..amazing cant wait for more thanks :o)
Great update. Yes, that was soon enough. :)
more of this story pls!!!!!
Hmm..now i read this story y-day morning but postponed posting cos i felt sick from baking a really sweet cake(and eating most of it too..lol) and then i read it again this morning but postponed the comment again cos I felt sick from some alcofrolic remnants of the previous nite.LOL So lemme make sure I comment now before I hit the party tonite..;-)You depicted the hurt,crushed Bette real well. Thinking that noone understands or feels what you do and refusing to acknowledges peoples concern/compassion for you. I like how Tina didnt just let Bette treat her whichever way but actually walked off in anger and let her know that her behaviour wasnt appropriate. Just again..ya story is like moving so much when it dont seem to be moving at all. Greatness! Like Bette doesnt understand why everything falls apart in the course of two days…its interesting to think that life either has a way of letting everything fall in place or has a way of letting everything fall apart at once. Bette just hit the back jackpot there for a minute.Oh and I luv Alice bein both sensible and hilarious. She can be a voice of reason and crack you up..thats effective. lolIm happy that you are back to posting more frequently and happy that you are happy. ;-).
ohhhhhh Flair it is great to have u back, and I hope that your posts will be more frequent!!!!!!! I have missed this story sooooooo much!!!!! Hope that u post soon!!!!!!!
Well at least you can bring me comedy. Keep posting and we will keep reading.
This is so funny and Ricky Martin is my favorite singer I just got his new cd call “Life” is awesome. Anyway hope Bette will open up to Tina and they will talk and work thing through togethter and who’s calling. Ok post soon please, thanks!
