“Great.” Sarcasm dripped off the tastefully papered walls.
Bette was ready to explode. Nadia was pushing every boundary of decency, but had yet to actually step over the line or pull any of her shenanigans in the company of others. She also was an excellent TA, much to Dean Porter’s dismay.
“I think you do have some choices,” Tina said over dinner, “but I know you don’t like them.”
“I’m trying to live with it because firing her is still not an option.” Bette took her frustration out on an unsuspecting baby carrot. “She hasn’t given me anything concrete.”
”I’ll bet if you give her enough rope, she’ll hang herself,” Tina offered.
“Probably, but wouldn’t that make me just as manipulative as she is?” Bette knew how to manage relationships, but the thought of this made her oddly uncomfortable.
“It’s not like you’re going to create opportunities for her to mess up.” Tina knew that Bette had to come to this on her own, but that girl was starting to work her last nerve.
“True, but if I go down this road, I will be making conscious choices to find weakness and take advantage of it.” In that moment, Bette wondered why it took her so long to realize that she really had no choice but to do exactly that.
“The only thing you’ll be taking advantage of is Nadia’s narcissism.” Tina heard herself and stopped talking.
“As flattering as Ms. Karella’s crush may be,” Bette said with a reassuring smile, “I hope you know that the only woman who I have ever loved, could ever truly love, is you.”
“I do know that babe,” Tina returned Bette’s smile and leaned in for a kiss, her hand resting softly on Bette’s cheek, “but it’s nice to hear you say it.”
Lara left her bag in the car. Instead of taking the picnic lunch to Helena, she’d made her travel arrangements and taken care of work details so that it would be business as usual at The Planet during her absence. She stopped by Whole Foods for a few more things and drove out to Malibu in time to accompany Kathleen to pick up the children from school. They were playing a killer game of Sorry! while the meat sauce bubbled on the stove, homemade pasta waiting for its turn in the already boiling water. Helena’s emotional guard was already in overdrive when she saw the suitcase. She tried not to jump to conclusions, but her mind was reeling with possibilities by the time she walked through the door.

OK first off this was the best chapter so far Sammy!!!! I Loved it,u write so freaking awesome and alls I can say Is Awww. Im pissed at Laras Family for being such Assholes! GAWD! And im proud at Shane for going to see Someone for her problems! Im VERY proud of Alice for going through that place and reliving that nightmare,And then Dana being so loving and careing (God u rock Sammy) The sex was Fucking AWEsome,u say i rock,not by a long shot,U ROCK~ Thanks and PPS
Where oh where to begin. Helena’s insecurity is palpable and I am glad that Lara caught on. I feel so terrible for Lara having to deal with her family. I hope Helena takes care of her. The Alice and Dana was amazingly written pain, terror, reconciliation, and finally LOVE! Living with some who is clinically depressed let’s you see things in people and I wondered if that may be a route you were taking with Shane. It is mind numbingly terrifying and for friends and family it is confusing and painful. I hope with the groups continued love and support Shane will find her way through.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I am so proud of Alice and Dana to make it through going to that hotel. The support they show each other is really touching. Lora and Helena are killing me. I hope they don’t end up throwing what they have away. I am a bit concerned about Bette. I know Tina has faith in her (and so do I) but she does need to be carefully that she doesn’t impact her job in any way. I’m glad Shane has been diagnosed. I hope she will follow doctor’s orders — and tell her friends about it so they can help support her. Alice’s explosion of anger and tears was so real. She never really did have a chance to process those feelings. Could Dana have been any sweeter or supportive? And the NC-17 at the end? Excellent! I think Alice needed that after the day she had to reaffirm life. I simply love your writing. Every sentence is a thing of beauty. Thank you so much for this amazing story!!
After a chapter like that, the only one doing any bar-setting here is you! You proved my point again, this installment is better than all the previous. Alice’s breakdown and the support Dana gave her during and afterwards were brilliant. Shane’s diagnosis wasn’t entirely surprising, and I’m glad she has such good friends to help her through. Lara’s family sounds a lot like mine. I feel so bad for her, but just as bad for Helena being so insecure. I hope Bette and Tina are able to overcome the slutty TA’s plans. And don’t worry, there won’t be any scrolling from me…unless of course I absolutely have to in order to keep reading.
always excited 2 see this story…
Great update and great to have you back again. Damish forever!!!
What can I say I Love this story…Cute “Game Set & Match!”
Fantastic!!!!! love this story so much go danish!! :)
hiya,I’m kind of very late into this, since I was out of town for a while, but being able to read this with all the updates made it that more better! Fantastic story, great quality as always. Great to see Danish becoming parents soon. I also love the storyline about Lara and Helena. Hope Lara’s family is not going to be too bad to her. Can’t wait for the next update! :)
Its always a pleasure reading your stories mama b. You know, its even better when I’m not doing a horrible job proofing for you. But you always have my back, even when I’m trying to have yours you had mine…its safe to say that when backs are being had you’ll always have the final back in the back having process. Also I must give kudos on you portrayal of Alice’s feelings at the hotel it really pulled me in and kept me. I’ve read it three times and it still really grips me. Also the sex was hot hot hot very smooth transitions on that ankle move, Dana’s no slouch in the sack apparently. I can’t wait for the next chapter and for the AlShaDane conversation. PPS Luv Lil’Cubz
