Provocations Linger- Chapter 15
Tina laughed, twisting around in the brunette’s arms, a little surprised to find Sam naked. “Are you trying to make us late for the dinner?”
Sam continued to nuzzle the nape of Tina’s neck, “Not late for dinner necessarily, but we could be late for that ‘mingle with the stars’ thing earlier,” she offered hopefully.
Prior to the dinner there was a private cocktail party for larger donors and the various celebrities there to support HRC that year. Tina knew that some of the guests included Neil Patrick Harris and Rachel Maddow.
Extracting herself gently, but firmly, Tina gave Sam a regretful smile. “Sorry sweetie, Tessa is already out of the shower and I don’t want to leave her waiting in her room for what you know would be more than a few minutes.” Winking at her lover, she gave her a quick kiss on the lips before heading for the shower.

Helena and Bette’s Penthouse Suite
Sunday evening, 5:30p
Showered and refreshed after their lunch in town and subsequent walk on the beach, Bette decided to indulge for 15 minutes in the luxuriously soft bathrobe the Hotel provided before squeezing into her strapless dress for the evening.
Lounging out on the balcony, she was almost asleep when the click of the door announced Helena’s return. “I just saw Doogie Howser in the lobby,” Helena called, sounding amused. She was returning from the gift shop.
“Doogie Who?” Bette wondered, joining her in the living room.
Helena shook her head at the curator. “Neil Patrick Harris? These are the times I miss Tina,” she noted mournfully.
“Because she knows who Doogie Whoser is? That’s what you miss about Tina? No wonder she dumped you.” Bette chuckled.
Helena fixed Bette with a gaze eerily like her mother.
“One might think you weren’t completely counting on my assistance this evening…” she intoned.
Bette laughed, “Well they’d be very much mistaken. Forgive me, madam, I don’t know what I was thinking.”
“You have it bad, I don’t care what you say.”
A knock on the door interrupted their banter.
Bette raised her eyebrows at Helena.
The heiress shrugged back, she hadn’t requested anything.
Bette approached the door, tightening the sash on her robe as she opened it. Staring, she stood motionless. After a bit Helena was concerned by the silence that ensued.
Tina’s smile had vanished as recognition set in, she also stood staring expressionless back at Bette, taking in the bathrobe, and her clear state of undress underneath.
“Bette?” she uttered finally.
“T. I wanted to…” Bette stopped, momentarily stricken dumb.
Helena peered over her shoulder.
“Oh dear… so much for the ‘Their eyes met across the room’ moment,” she sighed.

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 :)
