Bette stared back at her. She clenched her jaw before speaking.
“Are you fucking kidding me?”
Helena shrugged.
“They’re staying here, at this hotel?” Bette clarified.
Helena gave her a patient smile.
“I don’t know why you’re so surprised, Bette. It makes perfect sense. They’re staying here for the same reason we are. It’s much easier than trying to make ones way back to another hotel at some late hour, no doubt a bit worse for the ware.”
Bette sat down in a heap on a chaise. Tina was staying in this hotel tonight. Of course she was.
Helena decided to ignore her, giving her a moment to catch up. She returned to her bedroom to finish unpacking.
“Helena?” Bette was standing in her doorway a few minutes later.
The Brit looked back at her inquiringly.
“How do you know Tina’s staying here?” Bette sounded almost nervous.
Helena straightened up, beaming.
“I saw her! My God Bette, she looks amazing. That woman is absolutely gorgeous.” She shook her head.
“Helena! Do you mind?” Bette whined.
“What? She is,” Helena shrugged, purposefully teasing the woman.
“Did you tell her I was here?” Bette asked, again the nervous tone evident in her voice.
Helena looked at her like she was out of her mind.
“You don’t read a lot of romance novels do you?”
Bette gave her a confused stare.
“No.” she confirmed. “I don’t.”
Helena nodded. “I thought not. Otherwise you’d know the last thing you do is tell the protagonist that her object of affection will be there.”
Bette’s eyebrows knit together in confusion.
“Bette. How can you have the big moment, the big
‘Their eyes met across the room’ moment, if she’s watching for you?” She waited for the brunette to understand her meaning.
“Are you sure you reminded Tina of me?” Bette wondered finally.
Helena laughed. “Go ahead and joke, but trust me- it’s better that she be surprised.”
“Helena,” Bette groaned, “We don’t even know if I AM the ‘object of her affection’. I told you I don’t think she’s in love with Sam. That does not translate to her wanting me.”
Closing her last drawer Helena turned back to Bette. “Pish. Come on, we’ve got hours before we even have to think about getting ready. Let’s go explore a bit, maybe find some lunch?” she suggested.

How naughty of you to keep us hanging here…I am thinking Sam and tina are done and also Now tina is going to be very jealous thinking Bette and helena are a duo having fun…….PPS
Speechless. PPS
i bet helena called tina to the room… loving this… oh and sam… take care… you will be alone soon… bette is in the house… bring it on…
Loving the story. Your dialogue is pot on and so are the transitions in between. The dialogue is so nuanced w/their individual style and speech patterns. Please keep up this pace of frequent posts.
Oh…love it! And Helena’s comment – I’ms sure she planned this too. Can’t wait for more.
Whoops! Well maybe seeing Bette with Helena might do the trick! *wicked cool!* Thanks for the story loving it so far. I like Helena in this story too ;)
This just keeps getting better and better! Hmm..I wonder what Sam will have to say about Bette being there. Tina is going to be flanked by her exes. Sam should be glad that Tina stays friends with her exes..after all, it’s highly likely that she’s going to be one (ex) and sooner rather than later. LOL! Love your story Zuzu!
hahaha, Helena’s last line was hilarious. I look forward to this tory every time I check the site.
such a tease…is there going to be more misunderstanding, more drama or with B&T talk and find another way to get romantic? post soon
doing an awesome job with the updating..I absolutely adore Helena in this story..
Perfect last line. I love your Helena! Three posts and I’m still craving more… maybe your excited state will translate into additional posts… Can’t wait for the dinner!
Well, they could just cut to the chase and skip the formalities, the formal dress and the formal dinner. Poor Sam, I don’t think she has a chance.
Sooo good! What a treat to have three posts on this so very good story. I look forward to the unfolding of the evening on Fire Island. Thanks for writing.
Love Helena, love Sam, but really really love Bette and Tina!
hahahaha Tina will think that Bette and Helena had a good time just beforeher arrival lol. Very funny. PPVS
Oh, this doesn’t bode well for Bette earning Tina’s trust, does it? Or… does it? Truth is stranger than fiction, as it’s been said. Tina couldn’t believe that Bette’s taken up with her host (and Tina’s ex) so gauchely, could she? I love the ins and outs this story takes. Thanks, Zuzu. :)
Uh oh, Bette has some explaining to do…..I don’t think Tina is going to stick around long enough to hear it though.
Briliant update. Oh dear! Is Tina going to think that Helena and Bette have something going on? This is getting absolutely interesting :). Thank you!
I take it Helena’s plan went a little haywire. Now what is going to happen? All I would like to see is Bette and Tina making progress and just not in the friendship sense.
AW SHUCKS…bETTE ALL NAKED UNDER THE ROBE AND IN HELENA’S ROOM; SO MUCH FOR NOT MAKING T JEALOUS. LOL. MIND U THE WAY SHE IS TREATING SAM-she needs a wake up call! PLZ CONTINUE…
Hahahaha….I love this Helena…in cahoots with Bette to get Tina back. I can’t guess which way that you’ll go with this…there are more than a couple of possible outcomes. I can’t wait for your next installment to see which one you chose.
loved the update. i hope the past frequent updates will not stop you from updating again very soon. love your story!!!
OK!God, or rather, Zuzu, this is delicious!
That was awesome. Great update as usual. Tina’s gonna freak out thinking there’s something going on with Bette & Helena. Btw, I adore Helena in this story, i want her for myself :)
First, an apology: I’ve been meaning to comment on this story and have no excuse as to why I haven’t. I’ve been enjoying it all along and was happy to see that you came back to it.

I look forward to reading more of this story–thanks! Lin
