    Provocations Linger- Chapter 12

    The camerawoman watched Bette almost as intently as Bette watched Tina. Beyond Bette obvious desire Sam also concluded Tina’s ex had no intention of coming forward. Sam had no objections.

    Saturday, Sam’s Condo 6:30p


    Juggling dry cleaning, her purse and a small bag of groceries Tina deftly negotiated the front door lock. Entering Sam’s condo, she set the grocery bag on the counter along with her keys and purse before hanging the garments off a door in the front hall.

    Bette observed her ex’s familiarity and comfort level with the apartment. “You look right at home here,” Bette surmised.

    Tina took in a sharp breath, registering Bette’s presence in the living room. She stared at the brunette startled.

    “Bette!”

     
    Tina approached her ex who had risen to greet her from the couch. She hesitated a moment before kissing Bette on the corner of her mouth.

    “Bette. What are you…?  I wish you’d called, I’d have picked up more salmon.” Tina began hesitantly. Pausing she rubbed her forehead. “You’re still here,” she blurted.

    Bette offered a half smile, shrugging.

    “I took Tessa up on her invitation earlier. We’re going out for a drink, she’s getting changed.”

    “You missed your flight to have drinks with Tessa?” Tina’s voice remained neutral but her eyes grew impossibly wide.

    Bette said nothing for a moment, trying to decipher the blonde’s reaction.

    Finally she clarified, “No. Actually I had already cancelled my flight. My meeting yesterday went really well, we’ve got an agreement to do the first exhibit of the tour, which is amazing for my gallery but there’s still a lot to talk over and paperwork to get done.”

    Bette took a breath, avoiding Tina’s scrutiny.

    “I thought I might as well do the legwork here since I’m in New York anyway. It’ll only add a few more days to my stay. Helena was completely fine with it,” she added.

    Bette lifted her gaze back to Tina, trying again to read her reaction. She guessed the blonde wasn’t thrilled about Bette and Helena becoming acquainted and she also sensed Tina was not real excited about Tessa and Bette hanging out either.

     Tina, realizing she had no say in either situation, had to swallow her opinions and muster some enthusiasm.

    1. This is such a good story. I always look for the updates. Thanks for posting as you can – I am always pleased to see a new post when you have time to write.

    2. How to answer that? And is Tina ready for that kind of exclusivity with Sam? I don’t think she is… The party at Fire Island is going to be interesting, isn’t it? Post soon, Zuzu. Thanks

    3. Great chapter! I love your Helena, she’s such fun and a good friend. Nudging Bette to see Tina in her work element and in a different light was perfect. I like Sam, here and in the series. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

    4. Thanks for continuing with your story, I had to re-read the previous chapters just now to remind me how wonderful your story is. I hope you continue….

    5. WOW!Complex, intense, poignant, funny, sad, etcetc. Beautifully paced. As a diehard TiBetter u know where I stand. I will be looking 4ward to the next chapter. I understand about 3 a.mers!!! Mine is a Youtube music addiction. Thank u. This is good.

    6. first of all, good to see you bacl…second: why is Sam so annoying? and i’m also wondering, why everyone else sees what B&T don’t? time for them to talk maybe LOL

    7. thats it sam… you better be worried… bette is back and tine will be going with her… nice try sam… your only worried now because bette is in town, if she wasn’t this never would of came up and please tina is not stupid.. she knows this as well.. love this… pps

    8. Ahhhh Zuzu…I’ve been waiting for an update to this story. This is sooo good. Don’t be too long posting the next one…I’m dying to know what happens next!

    9. It seems everyone is playing matchmaker and Sam is beginning to feel the uncertain ground. Hopefully Fire Island will bring some clarity to the “blind” women and get them talking.

    10. Glad that you are back. Maybe this is a good time for Tina to move onto another person like Bette. I have a feeling that some feathers are going to be ruffled by the end of the night.

    11. Thank you for updating. I have so missed this story. Great update – don’t take to long please to post again :) Can’t wait to read what happens next!
