Provocations Linger- Chapter 17
*********************
The lanky brunette turned away from the crowd and looked out at the Ocean. It was much easier than trying to avoid looking at Bette and Helena.
“Fuck me, do all of Tina’s ex’s look like Charlie’s Angels?” Sam wondered. Watching them standing together drawing pretty much all the female attention, Sam had wondered what ever made Tina look her way.
*********************
Tina climbed the stairs to the roof deck with more than a little trepidation. She had no idea how to negotiate this evening or these women.
“Fuck. Just…fuck,” she groaned, immediately confronted with the vision of Sam leaning on the railing to her left and Bette and Helena standing by the railing to her right.
Tessa gulped as well. “Jesus, I’m nervous. Poor Tina,” she thought. Then taking in her best friend slouched over the railing looking out at the Ocean, she added, “Poor Sam.”
Tina had been in quandary ever since she left Bette on the elevator, thinking about how to best get thru this night. She couldn’t decide if it would be more awkward to ignore Bette and Helena, or embrace them. She really didn’t see how either would work.
******************
Bette saw Tina before the producer had reached the top step to the roof. She looked away, offering Tina a chance to catch her breath and figure out how she was going to handle this situation.
“They’re here. Look at me like we’re having a conversation,” Bette hissed.
Helena smothered a smile.
“Alright.”
Bette paused, at a loss for a topic.
Helena laughed, “Why don’t you tell me more about the lovely Tessa?” she suggested, stealing another glance at the beauty walking toward Sam with Tina.
She took in the blonde’s exquisite features, finding her breathtaking in her emerald dress.
“Don’t stare at them!” Bette squeaked, clearly agitated.
“I do not stare,” Helena glared at Bette. “And I wasn’t looking at them, I was appreciating Tessa’s dress.”
Bette calmed down a bit, looking at Helena speculatively. “Tessa’s dress? You know, I was planning to introduce you two.
“I think you’ll hit it off. She’s smart, very funny and as you can see, attractive.”
“Yes.” Helena agreed.
“Yes, what?”
“She’s attractive.” Helena repeated, staring again.

Sam is such a weeny. Bette forget your make believe phone call and get your ass back to the event and start working on getting Tina back. MUST WE DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! Great update. PPS
I agree with brwnsuga – at least partially. I mean, Tina did ask for a bit of discretion – she is there with Sam but Bette does neet to catch Tina’s eye everyonce in a while. She shouldn’t stay away completely.
Loved that Tessa noticed a smudge in Tina’s lipstick…
You’re killing me here Zuzu – Sam and Tina jukebox dancing at a dive bar sounds just so awesome and fun. Sam sounds like a cool person and she and Tina seem to have such fun together :-) You quoted the right song in your A/N, haha! The Helena Tessa silent convo was hilarious – so was Bette and Helena talking about Doogie Howser. Great chapter PPS!
wonderful update…i’m really on edge for some reason, can’t wait to see what happens…i’m rooting for Tibette of course
Genius.Agonizing genius.Am sending gifts.
Oh I so wish that Tina would end up with Bette. Some one please get Bette and Tina back on the same page.
I love how stunned Tessa and Helena are….speechless….so funny. I can’t wait to see what the next installment brings.
ok now I can comment on Tibette now that I am done cracking up over Shy Helena and Tessa…I know Tina is feeling it…torn
It seems to me that Sam has a choice to make here. Tina has all but told her that she loves Sam but is not in love with her and will not commit to her. Sam should know that if she decides to stay with Tina under those circumstances then if she is hurt it is largely due to her own decision. Tina is definitely interested in Bette, so Bette needs to keep the pressure on. Magnificent Zuzu…need more please as soon as possible.
This is wonderful. I think Bette should have stayed at the reception to get Tina’s eye every now and then but, I also think she has put more pressure on Tina not being there because she will be watching for Bette’s return, which Sam won’t like at all. Sam knows she does not and can not have Tina’s heart, it belongs to Bette and always shall. No one else measures up and no one can fill that void left by the gorgeous brunette and the same for Bette with Tina. Bette is trying to honor what Tina asked of her to let her be with Sam this evening and they will talk later. We know what that talk will be and what will probably happen, they can not keep their hands off one another. Sam has probably run her course with Tina and should just bid her adieu. I think Helena and Tessa are funny beyond words, and Helena is never speechless, always the ladykiller. Can hardly wait for the next chapter to see what happens. Thanks for posting this awesome chapter.
I love this story. I can’t wait to see how the rest of the party unfolds. I feel kind of bad for Sam, but oh well. I don’t like Helena and Tessa… I don’t like sharing Helena :p Great update as usual!
it seems to me that Sam is acting very much like a martyr….for gods sakes tina told same she was not in love with her and was not ready to commit, Sam sees the real deal…..tina is only feeling sorry for her…..so…Sammy walk and Tina you walk right to Bette to much time has been waisted already
ooohhh I like the lipstick comment Tessa made to tina too…..YES
i hope bette grows a set and soon… WTF ..why is she hiding… get out there and get tina back..
The Brit shy? I don’t believe it!Love this story.
Great update. Looking forward to more.
You know, since both Bette and Tina live on the left coast, they could just belay their meet and greet and hook up when they get back to L.A. But, where’s the drama in that? Love the intrigue (and the extended pages)! Thanks!
Great upate and I totally agree with brwnsuga. Bette, go get Tina. Brilliant update. Thank you :)
Am I the only one wondering where Bette will sit during dinner? I’m thinking that Helena will want to dine with Tessa which leaves Bette sitting with Sam and Tina. Here’s hoping that’s what happens and of course, Bette WILL cater to every need Tina has because she knows her so well! :)
Tina’s being kind to Sam, which is good of her, but I think this is going to end in tears, at least for Sam and her hopes of bi-coastal exclusivity. And I can’t believe Sam didn’t notice Tina’s smudged lipstick, but Tessa did. On a brighter note, Helena and Tessa seem to be dumbstruck… but “okay”. Those two are going to be fun, I can tell. I can’t wait to see how the rest of the evening unfolds. Thanks, Zuzu. :)
tina, why are you still with sam? there’s no spark between you, you live thousands of miles apart, bette and you are so obviously still in love and bette was being forthright with her intentions re you. i love you tina, but poor sam, please break her heart now rather than later. ugh. must we get carried away? okay, it just hit me that this story has been happening for only a few days as yet, not counting the backstory. so okay, maybe in the next two installments we may expect the breakup? not at all demanding, no?thanks zuzu for this story. please post soon.
Zuzu – just finished reading up to this point, and its a great story. I’m hoping you’ll add onto it. Thanks for all your hard work so far!
Good story,maybe you’ll continue it someday,thank you for writing it:)
POOR SAM-BUT WHY IS SHE PROLONGING HER OWN AGONY? she knows the score!!!
Sam just go ahead give it up.
I think the only thing to say is dun-dun-dunnnnnnn!
oh boy, can’t wait to see what happens at the dinner, if the elevator was the appetizer!!
Just caught up in this wonderful story. It’s been a joy to read. Love the extended characters and love this Helena. Can’t wait to see what else you have in store for these women.
I think that Tina and Bette need to take another ride in the elevator. lol lol lolpps
any chance this story will be continued?
This is so good and loving it!
