Provocations Linger- Chapter 15
Bette tried to fight the growing anxiety in her stomach. Tina hadn’t looked too pleased with her just showing up at Sam’s last night to hang out with Tessa. This was not going to delight her either Bette suspected.
“I’m a grown woman. I’m single. I have as much right to be here as anyone,” Bette tried to assure herself.
“Hell, she’s here with Sam, so what if she thinks I’m here with Helena or Tessa for that matter, there isn’t a thing she can say about it…but why am I doing this again?”
Aloud she addressed the woman still awaiting a reply about lunch.
“Helena, are you trying to piss Tina off?” The paranoid thought entered Bette’s head that Helena wanted the blonde back for herself.
Helena blinked, surprised. “Well… no. Why would you think that?”
The heiress seemed genuinely surprised and confused by Bette’s question.
Bette sighed. Plopping herself down on Helena’s bed, Bette absently played with her suitcase tags.
“I’m Sorry. It’s just the more I think about it… I’m started to doubt the wisdom of this ‘plan.’ Tina is going to be angry if she thinks I’m playing games with her.
“Helena… I haven’t seen her in a long time. Now that we’re finally talking again I want to try and earn her trust back. This seems a bit counter productive, doesn’t it?”
Helena had to admit she hadn’t considered it from that angle. Her thought had been that since Tina wasn’t in love with Sam, perhaps seeing Bette at the Gala looking glamorous and attracting lots of attention would remind her of what she had had with her ex-wife.
“Well now my plan seems kind of shallow,” Helena mumbled.
“I beg your pardon?”
“My plan. It seems kind of shallow when you put it that way. I just thought that if Tina could see you in some killer dress surrounded by…” she trailed off not liking the look on Bette’s face.
Bette chewed at her bottom lip, eyeing the heiress in disbelief.
“Fantastic. That’s excellent Helena. Good plan,’ she nodded. “Let’s try and impress the woman who left me because I cheated on her by making her jealous!”
“Now… that was not exactly the plan.” Helena defended, trying to remember again why this had seemed so brilliant on Saturday.

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 :)
