*******************
Two floors below, Tina and Sam were unpacking their bags and avoiding the obvious.
“So… you like brunettes,” Sam finally joked.
Tina looked up at her and smiled, hoping she wasn’t blushing.
“I should have expected Helena would be here, particularly when Bette told me she was in New York this weekend.”
“I don’t know why you’d make that leap,” reasoned Sam. She hung the tuxedo trousers she’d be wearing that evening over the back of a chair.
Tina decided to fess up now, not wanting Sam to be upset if it came up later in the evening.
“Helena chaired this dinner last year, I was her date. I should have guessed she’d come this year too, I’m sure she’s still involved in some respect.”
“What? Wait,” Sam stopped her unpacking. She waited for Tina to look at her.
“You’re telling me you came to this party last year with the woman I just met downstairs?” She sounded extremely annoyed.
Tina sighed. She knew Sam would not bat an eyelash about Helena being here under normal circumstances. She was clearly still rattled by the conversation they’d had the night before. Tina had not committed to an exclusive relationship when Sam had sought reassurance about Bette.
“Sam. It’s not a big deal I promise you. Helena and I ended things on a fairly grown up note as those things go. Actually I would love it if we ended up as friends. She’s a sweetheart, which you’ll learn for yourself if you give her a chance tonight.” Cupping Sam’s face, she sought again to assure her. “Sam, there is nothing romantic between us.”
Sam swallowed. Tina’s comments were meant to make her feel better about Helena’s presence there tonight and they did. If Tina said they were just friends, Sam didn’t doubt it. But what was glaringly obvious to her was that Tina hadn’t offered her the same assurances last night about Bette Porter.
Smiling weakly she took Tina’s hand, “Then I look forward to getting to know her. Who knows, maybe I’ll have better luck with Helena than her mother getting to shoot footage on Cherry Lane.”
Tina’s stomach ached, witnessing the hurt look in Sam’s eyes. She lifted the hand holding hers to her lips and kissed it, wishing she could say more.

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 also want to say thank you for your note the other day mentioning me in such esteemed company! I am trying to find time to write and will try not to disappoint! I look forward to reading more of this story–thanks! Lin
