Tina – Unfortunately, this happens a lot in this industry. Quite frankly, it is easier to deal with a woman. If she were a man, you’d be traveling with me tomorrow … for safety! (pause) Have you heard of Humphrey Weinstein?
Jen – Yeah …
Tina – Slimeball! You don’t want to meet him alone!
Jen – But I don’t feel that Helena is the type.
Tina – No … not at all! I feel at ease with her. She hasn’t been strictly professional but she is respectful and … nice.
Jen – Are you going to give her a chance?
Tina – If we had met in other circumstances … maybe …
Jen – Why not now?
The producer looks pensive.
Tina – Because the one who makes me cry … stole my heart.

James – Meeting with Daniel Stevenson at 10 am … and lunch with Marion Foster at Spago, at 1 pm.
Bette – And in the afternoon?
James – Umm … you have a meeting at 5 pm with Mrs. Harmon. And you asked me to remind you to visit Giuliana Levett’s studio afterwards.
Bette – OK …
He leaves.

Production cabin, noon: A limousine parks in front of the production cabin. The driver comes out and waits. A minute later, Tina leaves the cabin with Jen by her side.

Jen – Don’t worry! I know what to say!

Movie set, afternoon: The crew is preparing to film a scene. Wendy approaches Jen.
Wendy – Where is Tina?
Jen – She went to Aspen with Helena.
She smirks.
Jen – Meetings … if you know what I mean.
The actress raises her eyebrows.
Wendy – Huh!
She leaves. Jen rolls her eyes.
Jen – Forgive me, Tina …
She mutters.

After last chapter i was pretty sure that i don’t like this chapter and i wasn’t wrong.
Helena played her cards excellent and i was sure she’ll tell Tina about SF bar and Bette. I don’t know if she lied on purpose about Bette’s “date” or she didn’t see that Bette not went with Jule that time – i guess it doesn’t matter because i pretty sure even if she not told about that Tina would still be in her bed.
Tina – i sure she knew what purpose Helena’s offer and she go for it. Even before she heard about Bette and Jule. So no Tina – you don’t have thinking about exuse for herself – you wanted it – you get it.
And Bette – i can’t blame her, she think that Tina wants Helena (and that’s right) and of course she needs a distraction too – and she going to Jule
I really don’t know if i should waiting for the next chapter.
Zhenya, I add this comment as a TLW fan, not as the writer. I’m not judging the characters; just following your logic. You seem to rationalize Bette’s actions (“I can’t blame her – she thinks that Tina wants Helena”) but you don’t seem to apply the same logic to Tina’s actions (“you wanted it – you get it”, instead of “I can’t blame her – she thinks that Bette wants Giuliana”). I saw similar reactions during the TV show. It seems biased to me and, for many fans, it comes from their love for Bette. But it almost feels as if B&T are being given traditional male&female behavioral stereotypes, respectively. Bette can be flawed and forgiven; Tina must be virginal, or else.
Hmm, yes and no. No because basically i love Bette and Tina equally. I’m not have preference in one of them. For example – in the TLW i didn’t have thought that Tina in s3 betrayed Bette more, than Bette her in s1 (i think they are even in this cases)
But in some stories with some storylines – yes, i might have sympathize for Bette or Tina more. But it’s all about how storyline go, who hurt each other more. Even in your story at first i have more sympathy for Tina (remember when i comment how i think Bette slept with bartender in her cabin and you answered that she didn’t. Or when they start dating i criticize Bette and wrote that she needs to give more attention to Tina and not some chicks in the bar or loo). But after Tina wanted the break – yes i felt that she betrayed Bette and now i have much more compassion for Bette.
Well, since you mention that your sympathy depends on the story, let me discuss the facts of this story that I feel your sympathy for Bette may be disregarding.
Bette was told by Kit that Helena is pursuing Tina and she is upset. This is all we know. We could infer that she feels insecure and fears that Tina will fall for Helena, but this chapter does not indicate that “she thinks Tina wants Helena”. You seem to think that Tina wants Helena (you wanted it, you get it) based on her interactions with Helena but Bette does not know any of that.
And regarding Tina’s feelings, the chapter indicates that she thinks Bette stole her heart and that Bette wants Giuliana. So, I feel that “you wanted it, you get it” expresses your feelings about Tina but does not reflect hers.
About Bette – like i said after Tina wanted break with her, and how she did it (gave her ultimaum – break or break up without other variants) and after Tina humiliated her in Wendy trailer – yeah i didn’t blame her even if she go to Jule immediately after that.
About Tina – nobody treated like that (i wrote how she break up with Bette) with person and than tell that this person stole her heart. And i must say – Tina not brainless, right? Than you didn’t think that we can bielive that she didn’t understand what Helena wants from her when she invited her in Aspen? Limo, personal jet – if Tina think that Helena gives that all persons, who want her money – than she really stupid. So, she know what Helena wants from her and still agreed to go to Aspen and gave it to Helena – and that was before she found out about Bette and Jule.
Oh my! What a delimma these two have created. Please post again soon. I am worried for Tibette!
Being a Yale grad Bette is not that smart. She should have listened to Kit and jumped on the next plane back to the ranch. I knew Helena would make a play for Tina. It’s not looking good for now. Am looking forward to next chapter and TX for writing this nice story
When Kit called Bette Tina already been in Aspen.
I knew that but Bette still could have gone back to the ranch. She should be waiting for Tina to return or better yet gone up to Aspen. Bette is acting like a jackass.
Why? First – if Tina attracted to Helena (obviously she is) i don’t see how Bette on the rancho can change that. And what – Bette need to forget about her job and wait in the rancho until Tina tired fucking Helena in Aspen? Tina chose her work over Bette, why Bette needs to choose Tina over her life and job?
And second – even if Bette picked her phone earlier and talked to Tina, even if she forgave Tina how she treated her in Wendy trailer – you do realize that they still on break, right? Remember – it was Tina’s wish. And when couples on break – they allow to see another people.
Delighted to see a new Chapter, enjoyed it but am now really anxious about what I wil read in the next Chapter.
I really do hate cliffhangers and this one has me hating it more than usual.
I have mixed feelings as to whether I want you to post the next Chapter soon!
SG
Oh Tina and Bette, they are driving me crazy!
Helena is a nasty snake, she couldn’t get Bette and now she is doing everything to seduce Tina and Tina falls for it. Ofcourse who wouldn’t be swooned with the wealthy and fake attention.
I know they are on a break, but this breaks my heart.
Please let Tina not fall for that British snake and get our girls back.
Roflmao… ooh you are bad.. did that on purpose.. I was wonder why one in the middle of the week…you are a tease..but I dont think either of our women are going to go through with it. Thank you and will see you soon..lol
you tickle me with that “tease in the middle of the week” comment
Ahh … laughter after my effort to write a painful chapter. :D Maybe I didn’t want to ruin SassyGran’s weekend. One day to recover. I certainly didn’t ruin yours! :D
hmmmm hopefully I’ll be totally wrong, but B&T are both allowing Hellena & Jule to cross the line because there isnt a commitment of hearts.
Tina for SURE KNOWS she’s putting herself in the most precarious situation possible!!! Dipshit Wendy easily put her in vice and Tina still stands to loose t all because the movie is not “a wrap”!!
HEllena knows she gets at least a kiss and will certainly press for more by insisting that Tina isn’t in a relationship
I guess we have crossroad – the story can go in different ways. We might have happy Tibette ending or they go separately roads. I really don’t know after this chapter.
By the way – what problem with Jan? She seems too eagerly trying to convince Tina hook up with Helena. Jen has hosts for Bette too?
Still loving this story! Can’t wait for anothe chapter!
Wow this hurt. Haha I’m hoping for a “No Helena I’m sorry I can’t do this.” from Tina and a “I can’t sleep with you.” from Bette. Why couldn’t you have just been in your hotel room to answer Bette’s call, Tina?!
