    Author Notes:

    It’s years after Provocations and Tina and Bette are in NY after running into each other on the red eye from LA. Hilarity ensues.

    Tessa’s smile conflicted with the look of concern she was giving Tina. She wondered if she’d underestimated these two’s current status. The tension between the ex-couple was palpable. While she was relieved to be leaving, she hoped she hadn’t fucked things up with Tina.
     
    “Tina, if you change your mind we’ll just be next door at Jimmy’s. You know how Sam can lose track of time…. um… well alright then, have fun…” Tessa trailed off awkwardly on her way out the door.

    Tina rubbed her neck and retreated to living room. She wondered how this weekend could get any stranger.

     Jimmy’s Café

    Bette and Tessa were seated at a table on the patio outdoors. It didn’t escape Tessa that Bette took the chair facing the sidewalk and the entrance to Sam’s brownstone.

    Once they’d had a chance to order their drinks Tessa decided to cut to the chase. Settling back in her chair she gazed at Bette. “Well that was much more awkward than I expected.”   

    Bette gave her a startled look, surprised at Tessa’s bluntness. “Jesus, first Helena now Tessa? Doesn’t anyone beat around the bush here?” she wondered.
    “Did you think so?” she asked aloud.

    Tessa laughed. “Hell yes, I thought so. When did you guys go out? I thought it was years ago.”

    “It was,” Bette agreed quietly.

    Tessa studied Bette. “Oh. I see.”

    “What do you see?” Bette asked mostly to keep the conversation moving.

    “I see that I should have worn more comfortable shoes and a sweater.”

    Bette laughed, relieved by the frankness and humor of her ‘date’.

    “Are you cold? We could move inside,” she offered.

    Tessa smiled good naturedly, “Nah, I’m fine. I was teasing about the sweater. The shoes… not so much.”

    They both laughed.

    By unspoken agreement they went no further with any discussion of Tina. Tessa suspected her friend Sam may have trouble ahead but she knew it wasn’t her place to sort this all out.

    For her part, Bette didn’t want to use Tessa to probe for information about Tina’s relationship. Instead they amused each other making snide comments about the people passing by the Cafe and what tragedy must have led to the outfit they were wearing.

    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

    8. 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.

    10. 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….

    12. 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.

    14. 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

    15. 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

    16. 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!

    17. 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.

    21. 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.

    23. 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!
