    Provocations Linger- Chapter 12

     “That’s really great about getting the show Bette. You said if all went your way you’d have it booked before the opening and you did it…” Biting her lip, Tina added, “I googled Lauren Trope’s stuff this morning. She’s amazing. I’ll have to come to your opening,” she added shyly.

    Bette gave Tina a surprised look; that was the first time either of them had referred to seeing the other back home. “I would love that, T. I’ll be sure you get an invitation,” she promised.

    The sound of heels clicking down the hallway announced Tessa’s arrival. Pine floors and high ceilings accentuated the sound of fast clipping stilettos.  

    Tessa was dressed for cocktails and more, Tina observed at once. She rolled her eyes and bit her lip again. “Unbelievable,” she thought. Looking at Bette she was annoyed to see her hiding a smile.

    “Hey, Tina, you’re back early! Sam thought you guys would be closer to 8:30p or I’d have called to see if you wanted to grab a drink with Bette and I.”

    “I took a cab,” Tina explained. “Sam is looking at film for Gus and I already saw most of it and put in my two cents earlier so I figured I’d pick up my dry cleaning for the party tomorrow and relax a bit.”

    “Well, it’s only 6:30p or so, care to join Bette and I for a cocktail? We can go to Jimmy’s and call Sam to let her know you’re next door.”

    Tina stole a look at Bette who seemed strangely preoccupied with the photos on Sam’s refrigerator.

    “Oh yeah, she wants me to come,” Tina noted to herself sarcastically. “Well fuck that, I’m not going to sit and watch Tess and Bette flirt all evening.”

    “Um, I’m going to pass. Sam is making me dinner tonight. I think I’ll stay here and freshen up a bit before she gets home.”  

    The blonde was surprised to note the disappointment that flickered in Bette’s eyes before being replaced by a polite smile.

    Tina regretted her comments about freshening up for her dinner with Sam.

    “Have a nice dinner Tina,” Bette said softly, she opened the door not giving Tina a chance to see her out.

    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!
