Bette sat on the front steps of her house thinking about the events of the morning. She had taken a reprieve from Tina’s haven long enough to check her mail and pick up a few things before going to work. She didn’t have a client until this afternoon and would rather have taken the day off. Tina had tap-danced on her nerves and the pissed-off beauty was so not in the mood for people. In addition, the murals that she had hoped to paint for the community center were a no-go.
As Bette continued to sit on the porch absorbing the newness of the morning, her mind traveled back to her earlier interactions with her girlfriend
Oscar, the center’s director, had called this morning informing Bette that the board had already contracted the work to someone else. After slamming the clamshell of her cell and flinging the apparatus across the room, Bette went on a tirade that may well have earned her an Oscar nomination. She ranted and raved about how good of an artist she was and how the center didn’t know what they were missing because they didn’t have a clue what talent was. Tina had never seen her sweetie act like this and watched this performance in sheer amazement. She knew Bette was passionate but this was passion gone wild. The sun kissed blonde’s mouth gaped open as she witnessed Bette’s hands chopping the air before settling on her hips and shifting her weight to one leg for emphasis. These actions all transpired while Bette spoke non-stop about how qualified she was to paint anything. She whipped her pack of cigarettes out of her backpack and put one in her mouth.
The anti-smoking sun goddess looked at Bette quizzically.
“Bette, where are you going with that?”
“Outside Tina. Damn.” The cigarette flipped up and down as Bette’s lips moved. She hurriedly walked past Tina and opened the door to the backyard. Tina skedaddled behind her.
“Baby, could you please not smoke around my flowers. It’s not good for them. If you need to smoke, why don’t you go on the front porch?”
“If I recall correctly, there are flowers out there too Tina.”

DAMN!!Thats my first thought..so much stuff happening in that chapter. Tina and Bette’s argument turned from bad to really nasty in the end..pretty much on both sides. They both need to be wacked over their heads once and no i dont condonce violence in practice but this is theory..so here I can say it. lol
They dont give&take much these too.They definitely both know when to unleash their catty, spiteful sides but i keep bein amazed on how Tina runs her arguments and especially on how she ends em..in this case, all of a sudden bein rather sweet with bette, kissing her hands, then walking away and banging the doors. *LMAO* She rules!haha
For some reason she switches gears between calm and self-assured and acting so effortlessly its amazing and irritating me at the same time…
For now just one more thing…this whole paragraph made me grin big.
” Tina knew the places on Bette’s body that she dreamed about touching and tasting. Places where Bette was ticklish or had a beauty mark or mole, further defining the woman she would give anything to love. She wondered if Bette talked dirty. If she enjoyed being fucked once in a while. If she screamed Tina’s name loudly or muffled the sound in an effort to maintain her dignity. She wondered if Tina made her come repeatedly, unwillingly even until she couldn’t move anymore and lost comprehension of everything with the exception of pleasure.”—Mwushahahahhahaha!How she must hate it just not bein the first/on the front-seat. See unfortunately Helena doesnt has the privilege to read this fanfic or else she would well know how” Tina made Bette come repeatedly, unwillingly even until she couldn’t move anymore and lost comprehension of everything…”.Poor Helena..scratch that, not really. *lol*
The comment that has me cracked up is”I need to ventilate my office now”..insinuating that its now dirty and unclean after Helena’s presence..*hehehehe*
Okay..enuff for now. I be back with more later..as you know it ;-)!
angel. i have many errands right now. but will be back later to comment. didnt want you to think i hadnt read it. still waiting ;)
Well, this chapter was definitely an emotional rollercoaster. I’m still not sure why Tina is storming away –particularly after telling Helena she cannot have Bette. After Helena’s visit I’m sure Tina is aware that at this point she is the only one for Bette. Tina always comes across as secure about herself ,maybe too secure at times, so why is she upset?
Helena, Helena, Helena. I want hope she can stop torturing herself with thoughts of Bette. I felt bad for her and her jealous thoughts. Perhaps she can hook up with Carmen. heh.
Bette didn’t come across as sexy with that cigarette in her mouth. Ack. Cigarette breath. It seems like she is adopting some of Tina’s traits with her attempt to be in a good place before meeting a client. Both of those ladies would piss me off with that comment. Funny thing is I’ll walk away to escape an argument, but I HATE when someone does that to me. I expected more of a reaction from Helena. I can’t believe she did not expect Bette to find out that she went to Tina’s office.
Post soon, post sooooooon. I want to know what happens next. I like this Tina so much more because of her contradictory nature. It makes it impossible to see her as an angel. I almost want her heart to be broken as a payback for the people that she has left in her wake. I felt bad for Carmen this chapter because even if Tina never loved her, I think it’s important for her to recognize that Carmen’s feeling were at least real. Love doesn’t have to be reciprocated to exist.
Anywho, I’m looking forward to the next chapter. You should have a marathon of posting.
SEE!?!? DRAMA!!!! So very un-calm…but so damn good.
And I like that Bette is using Tina’s diplomatic methods to refrain from exploding into a tirade.
Hahaha Totally love how Bette parroted Tina’s words right to Helena. Helena’s not going to be able to deny the connection between these two for much longer. Poor Bette, what a day. Can’t wait to see how this all pans out. Thanks, greentea!
What happened to you this week Greentea? Did you feel like venting some anger or frustration?
Your story is still my haven because all the feelings you describe, and I must say with such delicious perfection and precision, are all part of our lives and we must deal with them.
But at the end of the day, I’ll just quote Sophocles: “One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.”
Thank you for all the love you’re sharing with us.
I think all three of them, Bette, Tina and Helena needs to get together and meditate! Come to a peaceful, calm place together. Great Update.
damn Tina’s control is unbelievable. Maybe we all need to take some of those anger management classes! I was so glad to see that she didn’t make a scene when she saw B and H talking.
Helena does know what hit her. and Bette smartly left Helena to take care of business. I think Bette is learning. Way to go Greenie. another great chapter. so how far away is the trip to ny? or will there be a trip……hmmmm. I guess only time will tell. keep giving me that warm and fuzzy feeling inside baby, you’re the best!
my angel, tis me. hoping you were looking for my comment ;)
glad for your warning. i really would have found you and it wouldnt have been what i would have hoped for. *blushing*
this chappy. hmmmmm.
“great, this is just great. ” wow – tina was screwed from the get go today.
“fuck.” hellno will have that affect on you.
“baby, could you please not smoke around my flowers.” baby, why is bette a smoker? i so hate smoking. the whole taste thingy while kissing, yucky.
“i want them to see my work tina.” “i want them to see what theyre missing.” lets tone down the ego level bette. tinas adoration must be working.
“both of you are arrogant and egotistical.” gawd what was she thinking. *head slap*
“…eeesh!”
“thats what you do isnt it. you fuck people into oblivion right.” are they missing there filters. i cant imagine saying stuff like that to the people i love.
and it just keeps getting better. now carmen.
then the pic. what are you doing to my calm, sweetie. having so much to deal with, is totally unsettleing. and i dont like it. *wicked grin*
*was privy to all the things that kept her up at night.” what you do to me angel, sends me into fucking orbit. ;)
am still with you honey. im not breathing well. very unsettled. but you knew that going in. what can i do to get you to a settled place where we can have the good feelings and wonderful sounds that weve become accustomed to from you??
cant wait for more, angel.
The sun goddess was so not in the mood to teach or for that matter, be bothered…..Flashing her trademark warm smile, the peeved instructor assumed her place in front of the room and just as she did every session, welcomed the group and sincerely thanked them for coming.
Funny how FAKE can come out when you need it too.
Helena Peabody quickly strode to the front wearing a light gray business suit, a faint smile or was it a smirk,…..
I’ll go for a smirk; Helena doesnt smile.
Tina mumbled under her breath and flashed her phoniest of phony smiles at Helena.
(repeat) Funny how FAKE can come out when you need it too.
Tina wanted nothing more than to smack Helena across the bright red smirk
See, I told you it was a smirk!
She knew Bette was passionate but this was passion gone wild.
Would this be anything like “Girls Gone Wild?” LOL
Bette popped out of her chair & was pacing back & forth like she was in a boardroom trying to make a multi-million dollar deal with an uninterested artist.
Visions of Bette @ the CAC dance through my head.
The yogi would just have to perform a cleansing ritual for her office later because it would definitely need it.
Visions of Tina & a bottle of Holy Water dance through my head.
“Hi Helena.” Carmen smiled. “Fuck you Tina.” she spat on her way out…..Helena smirked, raised her eyebrows and slowly looked around the room before focusing both eyes on Tina…..“Well, that was quite a departure wouldn’t you say?” Helena smirked.
3rd & 4th time in this chapter….we have yet to hit a smile.
That’s it. Helena’s lips formed a thin smile reflecting the small glimmer of satisfaction from her recollection.
Ahhhhhhhhhh….There we have it; although the smile probably wont last long.
Helena’s smile grew so wide that it became blinding.
I stand corrected.
Tina: I’m not sure how we ended up here but I am very upset right now. “I have a class starting in less than an hour and I need to be in a good place before I can teach it. So, I’m going to leave in order to accomplish that okay? We need to finish this discussion when we get home or earlier if possible.” A few seconds later, the front door slammed so powerfully that it startled Bette beyond belief.
Bette: I don’t have all the facts here but from what I do know, I’m very upset with you. “I have a client appointment in less than an hour and I need to be in a good place before I can properly train her. So, I’m going to leave in order to accomplish that okay? We need to discuss this when I get home from work or earlier if possible.” A few seconds later, Bette revved the engine of her performance sports car, startling Helena beyond belief.
How many times they have copied each other so naturally & effortlessly!! Bravo GT!! I love how you pulled this one off. You make these 2 women 1 within & outside of each other! Bravo
lets bow to snQQpy. love the color commentary.

Comments:
I am enjoying this story, although I have to admit, it has taken me a while to really warm up to Tina. Don’t get me wrong…there are moments when I can’t help but adore her, and love how she is with Bette. But, then there are times when I just really don’t like her. It’s odd. There is such puzzling confusion when it comes to how she lives her life, compared to how she treats other women. She is always working to maintain calm and peace in her life…I mean, she spends so much of her time working to achieve that perfect balance, yet is arrogant, and spits out such negativity when it comes to addressing others who don’t feel the same as she…or more accurately, feel more for her, than she for them. She spits this negativity out, knowing that it will create an imbalance…like I said, sometimes it’s confusing, and I go from adoring her, to just wanting to tell her to get over herself.
I am so delighted that I am not the only one who feels this way regarding Tina. IMO, she does too much flip flopping in terms of harmony and peace; she expects others to bring it while she talks about it. That little stunt that she pulled in the driveway, was that about peace and harmony or just ebing spiteful…..Yep…..S-P-I-T-E-F-U-L
Tina has Bette, but I guess I have a problem with all her insecurities; this coming from a woman that wants everything “settling!”
Somehow you make turmoil, rather enjoyable…..now now don’t go overboard and give it all to us…I was just commenting that your so fun to read..the back and forth is great…Thanks for updating, and if possible post soon….
tks
Hello Miss Sassy..your sense of justice with Tina having the upper hand with every enemy makes me feel warm..inside..and out…and what is all this training for, there’s a big maraton in my city this Sunday, you wouldn’t happen to live in My city would you? hmmmm??? I’m feeling much better and settled now thank you, it makes me happy that you want to please me, and do you know..that you do :) Take care of yourself and please stay hydrated beautiful…you don’t want to lose all your fluids from running…when your done walking the puppy we’ll have our own marathon tonight..kisses
” Both of you are arrogant and egotistical.” Tina said plainly.”
Blatant honesty. I don’t know if that’s the best love strategy, Tina.
…back to the story…
“Did you get in this morning? Are you just coming from the airport?”
“Well yes Bette. I am and I’m quite exhausted actually.”
“Hi Bette.” Tina smiled.
“Helena, you left this in my office this morning.” she stated as a matter of fact while handing the designer sunglass case to the obviously unsettled woman.”
Caught.In. A. Lie.
Not a very effective love strategy, Helena.
SnQQpy gives new meaning to the term “color commentary.”
LOL.
Girl, not out here with my flowers!
Whoa Nellie! Y’all are killing me with such wonderful passion here. Love it. Okay…how bout this? Let’s just stick a fork in it and get B&H together in the next chapter…
uh- wow. you’ve got me guessin’ and that’s for sure…guessin’ as to what could happen next that is.
Now girls where is all that peace and harmony. HAHA, I swear I’m crackin up. You guys are like all ranting, and going nuts. See Ms. Greentea do you have our attention or what. Love this story but it makes me want to scream. Enough with the peace and harmony and being in a calm and tranquil place, bite me. Carmen, Helena , bite me, latter gotta go, bye bye. Tina and Bette get over yoursevles and just be happy with each other. Should be interesting that everyone seems to be getting together later that evening to discuss things. Man, theirs is no later, should have settled it then, how the heck do you start all over latter discussing, awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww makes me crazy.
have caught up on all the chapters and can’t wait for more
I started reading this a couple of nights ago yesterday and I’m now caught up. Wow. wow.
Does anyone know where I can get a waterproof laptop so I can read through a chappy in its entirety without being interrupted by a need to take a cold shower? Geeez…the hotness!
Opps my bad..I am certain you are not my wife..so I guess you are my mistress, does that mean I need to keep you in a condo downtown or something??? Buy you extravagant gifts but not charge them on my Amex..oh beautiful, who are you…But I must make a rule you are not allowed to love me but you may write your heart out for me and I promise to read and read and read…and of course comment ;] I promise to give you that…You’re a total hot babe I met on the internet(N.Dynamite) But your beautiful words are reminicient of my hot babe at home..kisses..Did I tell you I had the best Iced Green Tee ever! It had hints of wild berries and It was sooo goooood!
ITA w/Seahurst. Tina is a beeoytch. Totally arrogant and self centered most of the time. Kind when it suits her.
Wow that was pretty intense. It wasn’t the shell shocker that knocked me off of my seat. But I am pretty sure that will be around the corner real soon. Keep up the good work.
what the hell!?!?!?! Ok I must say when these two are happy and in love its pretty damn intense and when there are not its just as intense!!! If they ever break up its going to be awfully dramatic.
ps whats up with all the headaches? Hint for something empending or not?
O bravo ! You handle the angst admirably, and the love with great delicacy. Tina has a superb balance, I adore her calm and intelligence.
There is a great wisdom in letting others burn their anger out, and only once the conflagration has extinguished its self, allow yourself to get involved intimately. One of my wonderful Instructors has told me many times, when sparring, “think of butterflies”, a) because only when you relax and think “lightly”, can you move with efficient speed and focus and connect with your unconscious conciseness, and b) Because your expression of serenity and happiness in such a setting, will freak the Y fronts off the opposition ! I am of course deeply in love with this genius of a man, my honourable Sensei.
I make you dreamy …. That’s put a smile of my face … a posting from yourself and a compliment .. wow, today’s is a good day, I shall add your gift to my local ones ….. Thank you. O, and you know that all British are not so up tight … right ?? lol.
We are back to this argument again … you must let me have my way some days …. Thank you babe……
**Warning**This might be long…:
Of course u are not responsible for my unsettledness (I dunno whether that’s a word either but it is now..;-) ). I didn’t mean to hold u resposible I was just stating a fact. It does unsettle me..occasionally but at this point of time..a lotta things have that effect so ‘Sun Salutations’ is not that special..in that respect at least. ;-)
Noooo…Bette CAN bake a cake..even if she cant cook. LoL. I mean a few months back I baked a cake for a woman at my old job (and no it wasnt romantic interest and i was neither trying to poison her) for her birthday and it was the first cake I had baked since like 12 years (honestly) and I swear I OWNED the damn place with it..people were swooning over my cake likle bees over honey. Which brings us to the conclusion that baking has nothing to do with cooking skills..lol That said..I will stop talking about food until you have finished your training..so don’t encourage me either. ;-) I cant even believe im so nice to do this…can u see how much u mean to for me to take this sacrifice?? *lol* ;-) So no more food stuff from me..*zips mouth heavy-hearted*. Once u have completely ur marathon..I treat you to somethin sweet or fun..and im talkin about nutrition here *Hehehe*
“Settling in my existing unsettlement”—I don’t even know in what reference I said that but it does sound like an oxymoron to me if an oxymoron is what I think it is…damn look at the stylistics of my language..lol doin things without intending to..;-). But yea..my unsettlement will have guest-appearances I believe but for now..it has sunken into the depths of its existence until your writing brings it back up…Im still not blaming you btw..lol Oh please please never take the details and as you call it zany stuff out of your story. That’s what adds just the extra bit of humour or sometimes intensity or sometimes levity or sometimes image or sometime just extra bit of reading comfort/pleasure to the reader..spoken for myself, me…and I catch quite a few of your extra lil tidbits on the way and they catch my attention most times…sometimes I don’t get why they are there…lol
Anyways…I totally dug the quote on top of the story. This particularly much…maybe for the reason that I am exactly NOT like it is said in the quote and bein that am always angry at wrong times, to wrong people in wrong intensity..maybe I should take that to heart *shrugs*
“Tina’s nose turned up in response to the strong scent as she walked over to meet the poised woman.”
“Tina wanted nothing more than to smack Helena across the bright red smirk which was occupying a space normally reserved for lips.”
“Both of you are arrogant and egotistical.” Tina said plainly.”—Holy shit! I mean in that very momenr and considerin that very reaction of Bette she might be right but hotdayum Tina is definitely as blunt as they come huh? And so plain random..lol
Everything about her..especially how she reacted just seconds after that with her sweetlyvoiced but cattily meant reply to Bette is such a contradiction…its funny but unnerving lol. I swear she has this twist in her head (don’t ask for more precise descriptions now) Equalling Hel’s call with contamination—classic stuff. LOL
And Bette obviously couldn’t handle this way of Tina at all…hence her reaction soo below the waist..low punch…but admittedly effective..tho we have to wait and see i guess.
“I hope she drops you on your ass so hard that your head spins.”—Tho it came from Carmen and don’t want it to happen..that is quite hilarious…LMAO.
“Oh, I was wondering where my other purple racerback tank was. Um Carmen, you may want to get some anger management classes under your belt. They work wonders.”—that’s what im talkin about. Tina is positively twisted. I mean now either u are pissed or you don’t care but she manages to be somewhat snidey in her non-chalance still…no wonder people wanna throttle her…As I said before..” I need to ventilate my office”—that cracked me up big.time. Aside of that it humours me that in her way of dealing with Helena and obviously not liking it..she still has it in her to excuse herself most politely to pick the phone..LOL. I luv details like that…great.
“Helena stood alone in the driveway…wondering.”- and I bet she is still wondering what just hppened. Your Tina kicks major ass..and there is only one other tina aside of yours I like…. But she sooo strolled in, took over, knocked Helena out without even knocking and went along her ways then..fuckin awesome..lol
Okay..for the sake of your eyes and the comments side..this shall suffice by far. Sorry…once I really start, I don’t stop easily..and yes, im long-winded..*lol* but you knew that already ;-)
Thanks for the chappy tho…always make me squeal seeing a new one is posted :-D Wahoo!
<> mmm mmm mmm. > Well Well Well. > So this is where we have come to, huh? Are you proud of yourself, Green? Do you enjoy this place? I am very disturbed. Was that your goal? So, tell me what do you have to say for yourself? > Is this my reward for my loyalty? Being pelted with stones of malcontent, disharmony. Green, how could you? The anger and angst level in this chapter is well…..a CHALLENGE to digest. I am not sure what to say.
<
<
<
Again, Green I reminded you at the last installment that I saw the One, Two punch coming my way. I begged for your mercy, as I let you know that I have not mastered bobbing and weaving. And still, you do this to me.
Needless to say, I am still processing my thoughts here. In the meantime, here are some of the things I do enjoy about these characters in this chapter.
– They are full and whole. It makes perfect sense that people will adore Tina at times and be irritated by her at others. Isn’t that real-life? It’s rather one dimensional to believe that someone will be an angel or pariah ALL of the time.
– Bette, using Tina’s approach to conflict in her life. She worked at not jumping to a conclusion and stepped away from Helena when it got to be too much. I was proud of her. Balance and quiet in one’s mind and maturity and control in one’s actions is a journey, not a destination. Bette, did the right thing by giving herself a chance to process before dealing with Helena the Headache. Is Helena going to be able to squirm her way out of this one with Bette? Their relationship is already a bit strained. To then lie to Bette, is well ….unacceptable.
– I personally enjoy Tina’s very direct and uncensored method of communicating her thoughts. When she said that Bette was egotistical and arrogant, I thought that was cool. I am a believer in uncensored communication with my partner. My girlfriend gets to hear my thoughts (as long as I think it’s still valid) just as I heard them in my mind before they came out of my mouth. I think that in relationships, you have to be able to speak your mind freely.
Anyway, Green I am not sure how I feel right now. I will sign off and wait for the next installment. Hopefully, it will bring some clarity to this world.
I hope Bette and Helena never hook up I don’t think Tina could survive it. I realy enjoy reading your fanfic and love the drama just as much as the loving. Hope Tina and Bette talk it out, But I have a feeling Helena is going to get Bette the art job and Bette will be realy greatful, hope I am wrong. Please post real soon.
I have to agree with a comment that Temerity made there, No us British are not all uptight! Some of us have an inhaler to ease the tightness, but then thats another subkect on its own.
Thankfully I didn’t need it for this chapter, although the angst of B&T also doesn’t allow for even regular breathing!! Great job to see all sides of their relationship – the ups, very ups, not so ups, some downs and Helena! I really do fucking hate that woman!
What a great way to start my Saturday. My pulse rate increased when I saw that you had posted. Thank you for continuing this beautiful story.
I am enjoying this story, although I have to admit, it has taken me a while to really warm up to Tina. Don’t get me wrong…there are moments when I can’t help but adore her, and love how she is with Bette. But, then there are times when I just really don’t like her. It’s odd.

She spits this negativity out, knowing that it will create an imbalance…like I said, sometimes it’s confusing, and I go from adoring her, to just wanting to tell her to get over herself.I like your writing style very much, and will continue to read, and work to enjoy your Tina all the time, not just part of the time. Thanks.
Hey Greenie….nice to see an update from you when I find the time to get on the site…wonderful update and I do like the way Tina handled Helena in her office. Way to go girl…this really made my day..so keep going with them chapters…post soon
welcome back! well 4 now anyway…
i luved this chapter. so much drama :D
“Tina wanted nothing more than to smack Helena across the bright red smirk which was occupying a space normally reserved for lips.” ROTFLMAO!!!
teehee. gtg.
Hey Green! Another great chapter poor tina is having a bad day! I knew helena would be back to stir the pot at some time. Always makes me happy when i see you have posted keep up the excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rutro. . .Please post again soon. . .I hate it when B&T are pissed with eachother.
Great chapter – I loved it. And, to follow-up with your request: my reading experience is enhanced anytime Tina is in control both in the bedroom and otherwise. Please post soon!
These comments are a book in itself…anyway..liked this chapter was I the only one that found this funny..
(must have)
“Baby, could you please not smoke around my flowers. It’s not good for them. If you need to smoke, why don’t you go on the front porch?”
“If I recall correctly, there are flowers out there too Tina.”
“Right babe, but they aren’t as delicate as these. Those are my strong guys on the porch. They can take the abuse. These precious babies can’t.” Tina smiled longingly, feeling a soft purple petal between her thumb and forefinger.
Just as well I was not drinking Tea, who’s to say where it would have ended,
LMAO…I must have a weird sense of humour…lol.
I hope there is going to be plenty of drama to come Greentea, can’t have it all sugary sweet and apple pie all the time. It’s going to be interesting, glad you have brought Helena back.
Thanks for the chapter as always it was a pleasure to read.
Damn this is bad and drama coming!!!
