    Author Notes:

    Tina and Bette flew to NY on the same flight four years after the night of Provocations. Hilarity ensues.

    Friday night- 10pm
    Sam’s Condo

    Tina was exhausted. She’d spent all afternoon in pre-production meetings for a film set to shoot locally, followed up by a working dinner with the director.

    Despite a rigorous schedule it was hard not to be distracted envisioning Bette and Helena getting acquainted.

    Tina regretted underplaying her relationship with Helena to Bette earlier, she’d just been overwhelmed with everything else going on with Sam and Bette and hadn’t wanted to make things even more awkward.

    Helena of course, knew who Bette was, she knew of her through her mother even before she and Tina got together but it was Tina’s history with Bette that would interest the Brit.

    Tina knew that Helena had rightly or wrongly attributed some of their problems to Tina’s history with Bette.

     Tina glanced at her phone again, and frowned. She wondered why Bette hadn’t called to tell her how her lunch had gone with Judith Trope, or what had happened at the exhibit this evening. She knew it had to be over by now.

    At the same time she was annoyed with herself that she was so anxious to hear from her. Why would Bette call? Tina is after all staying in New York with another woman. Bette had made a point when saying goodbye of asking Tina if she had Bette’s cell number when they both knew she did… perhaps she’s uncomfortable calling while I’m staying at Sam’s? Tina briefly considered calling Bette but wasn’t sure what to say beyond asking about the lunch meeting.

    She checked her watch. Bette was scheduled to take the 8am flight back to Los Angeles in the morning. Tina had to assume she planned to leave NY without calling. She poured herself a glass of wine and picked up a book she’d brought with her. She really hoped Sam wouldn’t want to go out when she got home.

    Deciding to vote with her clothes, Tina slipped on a pair of flannel shorts and a soft, old Pep Boys t-shirt. Curled up on the couch, sipping her wine, she found herself unable to focus on the Kingsolver novel she would usually devour.

    She gave up and instead ran through the weekend schedule in her head. It would be a tight fit. Normally they’d simply head to Fire Island for the whole weekend but they had the fashion show in town tomorrow afternoon and Tina had promised Ely she’d attend.

    3. I’m really liking the Bette/Helena interactions. It’ll be interesting if Bette invites herself out to Fire Island over the weekend… Thanks for posting!

    4. I have absolutely no problem believing the biggest of coincidences if they come written in a story peppered with sentences like “Oh please. Revolting enough I have to admit the woman loved you, not me. Don’t think for a minute I’m going to cheer you up about it too.” This was great, I’m glad you decided to continue with it

    5. Implausible, plausible… doesn’t matter when the story is so well written. Love the open and honest Bette/Helena dialogue and just hope it continues as Bette decides to stay the weekend. Would hate for Bette to miss Tina in the fashion show dress!

    8. I say Helena invites Bette to Fire Island as friends but Helena decides she is going to help Bette get Tina back by making Tina jealous of the fact that Bette is now her date this year. Of course Bette won’t know what Helena is up to. Sam has to know she is NEVER going to get forever with Tina.

    9. I’m thoroughly enjoying this story… so glad you’re continuing it. I hope Tina and Bette makes plans to get together when they get back to LA so they can continue to work out their issues. Neither one of them has moved on….they still belong together.

    10. Hahahaha…I loved that line…”Oh please, I seem to be running into Tina’s ex-lovers and girlfriends all over the place.” Zuzu…I also like the concept of Helena teaming up with Bette to try and get Tina and Bette back together again. I always thought that Bette and Helena could be a real force to be reckoned with if they ever stuck together on something. Great update!

    12. I am so pleased to see this story continue – I liked it when you started and had accepted the fact that you might not continue after so much time elapsed – so when I saw the title come up recently I was elated. Such a good story. I hope the computer and life cooperate for this summer so you can write on . . .

    13. Sweet, Zuzu! Great pace and you can feel the drama building. Let the games begin for Ms. Bette and Ms. Peabody. 2 Alpha females playing cupid with Tina, this will definitely be good. You’re doing a great job! PPS!

    15. What a great update and thank you I have so missed this. Will Bette go with Helena and go get Tina back – I hope so hope so :) Thank you again!

    16. Just catching up and enjoying this story very much – thank you! Do I see a Tina-Sam-Helena-Bette encounter in the near future? Should be very interesting!
