No Good Deed Goes Unpunished Chapter 12
Bette left the audition walking as quickly as her feet would take her. The fast walk soon turned into a jog, which became a run and then eventually a full on sprint. That’s all she could think to do…run. When she found she had used up all of her energy she dug deeper to find more, running as far and as fast as should could. She stopped at the corner of a street, she had no idea which one. When she looked up all she could do was laugh. This was some evil joke that some one up above was obviously playing on her. She re-read the sign “South Street Sea Port”
Bette: You have got to be kidding me!
She took her time and walked her weary body over to the wooden deck. It was freezing, as usual winter nights in New York would have it, and she regretted not grabbing her scarf when she ran out of the audition. She wrapped her arms tightly around her shivering body and starred up at the sky. It was unusual in New York to ever see stars, but tonight, it was clear and crisp, she could easily spot at least 3.
Looking back on today she felt so stupid, so childish. Did she honestly believe that she would be able to hide the raw emotions that the sight of Tina evoked? There was no way. And on top of everything else, to let Tina hold her again? Bette sighed at the thought. She could still feel Tina’s warm skin pressed against her own. She cursed herself for even re playing the image. That was over with. There was no more Bette and Tina and there never would be. Although to this day Bette still couldn’t figure out what is was about Tina that made her lose control like that. She had never met anyone who had the ability to make her lose herself in them so completely. She found herself lost in thought when the incessant vibrating of her cell phone interrupted her. She knew this phone call was inevitable.
Bette: Hello?
Alex: Well, well, well.
Bette: Please tell me you didn’t call me to yell. I’m really not in the mood.

Bloody freakin’ hell…i can’t believe you did that. I can no longer be called a tease. I pale next to this story. What do we have to do to get more?
poor bette. when u mistake your dreams for reality it’s just not a good sign. i know you’ll probably get around to it but since the beginning of this sequel i’ve been wondering why would tina leave bette in the first place? bette gave her everything and she threw it back. it was dramatic. and painful.
will they get together by doing the play like a moulin rouge thing? it’d be funny if they all started singing. woah! where did that come from?
anyway i still feel worse for bette. why can’t she be happy? WHY??? anywho, plz post again today cause i love this story! better than all but a few of books i’ve read.
how long do u intend for this story to go for? hopefully a really long time, but i was taught that not all things can last forever. i’m a huge flair fan!
OMG that was great, a little teasing though…hmmm please post again really soon
I was so happy to see you’d posted again when I came back in the office. Why is it every time I start reading one of your stories I’m on the edge of my seat. Anticipation, excitement, fear, my god girl. Bette has to take the part, our girls have got to find there way back to each other. I know they will, but I also know the little devil in you will keep us on the edge for as long as you can . Its okay it keeps us wanting more. Just keep it coming.
u tease. u can’t do that!! make it better, please??
i was yelling at my monitor, YOU ARE SO PLAYING US!!! you are killing us a little at a time. you do know that dont you. they cant will without each other and you know it. they cant be happy without the other. this is truly painful to read. please post again, im such a masoichist (sp). i think you get my drift.
I will meet you in some place
Where the light lends itself to soft repose
I will let you undress me
But I warn you, I have thorns like any rose
And you could hurt me with oyur bare hands
You could hurt me using the sharp end of what you say
But I am lost to you now
There’s no amount of reason to save me
So break me
Take me
Just let me fill your arms again
Break me
I’ll le you make me
Just let me feel your love again
Jewel – Break Me

I’ve just finshed reading the previous chapter and was going to… read chap. 18-th of your first story. yup. I’m catching up with it:)or… maybe I’m unhealthily addicted? LOL. and now I’ve had to read this one… but I’m not complaining! :)
Argh! You got me!!! Look lm only 22..lm to young for a heart attack!! Lol! x
LOL, I knew it wasnt that easy, you little shit. Humm, can we please get Bette into some heat, before she freezes to death. Please continue.
Ok thre your just mean! I was in total heaven there for a short bit, ahh i don’t know why this story effects me so much!
OMG..I don’t love you anymore. Shit..I was very excited to get home and have two to read and now you leave us hanging like that. My heart is about to explode…please post before tomorrow.
You’d better sort this flair – don’t let us get tired of your drama!!! ;)
ugh.. i thought it was real. So does she apparently. It’s only a matter of time that they’ll stop lying to themselves and run back to each other’s embrace.
You are the Queen of the “fake out.” By the way I will NEVER get tired of the Drama! That is what I love about your story. It isn’t a clean, everything is rosy, B&T story! It is actually realistic to me, but of course I am a drama queen.LOL
OH MY GOD!!!! You’re killing me here!!! I didn’t know I could curse that much at a computer screen. :X Why?? Why did it have to be a dream?
You are just plain EVIL!! You had me going there for awhile. God I wish it was true. My heart was racing so much. Please give us something an indications that they will be back together plsssss I will love you forever :)
Why are you doing this darling??? Please don´t be so cruel with my heart?! I will not survive from other post like that!!!! Think about ok!!!
Bye Flair…
Amazing. An unbelievable last two chapters. Totally addicted. Hanging on for the ride!!!
BLOODY HELL!! I got so excited and then its a dream :( I’ve had that happen to me so I guess it can be allowed in the story- even if I don’t like it lol I just hope that can be real for them soon!! Can’t wait for more :)
Oh flair my dear,Please beware that if I go to the event I will have to put you in a stanglehold.
I have at least an acres worth of long-stem roses thrown on my computer in your honor, and I will make it a ritual every night after I have read your stories! Mwah-mwah…oh how I love thee flair maiden. I literally can’t wait for the next post, hurry the roses won’t stay fresh for long!
Lights fade to black as Bette exits stage left.
Melancholy music rises
End of Act 1., Scene 3.
Okay, you completely hooked me with “Can’t Help” and then cruelly broke my heart at the end. And now I find myself getting hooked all over again but should I trust you with my heart one more time? Please be gently!!!!!!!!!
Damn you Flair! you should be put away for trying to send me into cardiac arrest! I knew that sh!t was too good to be happening. Keep ’em coming, you big tease….hehe
TEASEEEEEE!
lol for some reason then i had this extra scene in my head revolving around what Alex would have thought about you making that a dream sequence.
I swear I am way too hooked on this story, i dont even make sense anymore :P
great work!
It’s taken me about 15 minutes to compose myself so I could comment…I’ve been flushed and laughing too hard…first at my own foolhardiness for falling prey to your trap…second at all the other comments. You know what you are don’t you?…Cunning…You are cunning personified! This story is just all too grand! Duped again, Flair…Duped again. Encore!!
my words exactly….FUCK! hurry and post soon im addicted
Here’s a very special grateful thanks for you, writer of my heart, for having give us such a delicious parenthesis through this dream – and dreamy – sequence… I know you just made us this gift because we truly needed a bit of romance and a ray of sunshine in our sad hearts for a while. So even knowing it was a dream, for me I enjoyed it like a piece of ideal reality, a touch of magic before to bravely go back to our Flair’s Giant Drama-rollercoaster. That’s was priceless, really, and as I want to comment it as if it was a real scene, well, I’ll do this way…
“As long as you keep enjoying I’ll keep posting”, you said ? Great : now I have a very precise view of you, becoming a charming old lady, dictating to your secretary the 82th chapter of the 32th sequel of this story ! (lol) Because you cannot hope we’ll stop to enjoy it one day ! No way !
South Street Sea Port appearing in front of my eyes once more !!! Oh, god, thanks… You already know what a damn “coup de foudre” (*wink*) I felt for this place. And it’s winter time – and there’s stars in the dark sky ! Awww… what are you doing to me…
“It’s the winter air; it makes things look brighter”: you’re – well, Bette’s – so right. Brighter than reality, like memories are. Winter is the poetic timeless season…
Next time I’ll be lucky enough to pay an other visit to your amazing city, be sure I’ll go directly there – by night, of course… Oh, what a magical place ! Now I close my eyes and I see it again – thanks to you.
And thank you SO MUCH for bringing our two lovers to this place again, wizard… With the come back of your lovely tugboat’s metaphore in the middle of all this sweetness – even bittersweetness – I’m over the moon. God, you’re amazing !
Well, watching our Bette and Tina both lying and hid true emotions all along this really beautiful scene (such a quietness, even with so much melancholy around and inside), I just hear the famous “The world is a stage, the stage is a world of entertainment” here.
(Wait, here’s a private message : Alex, I adore you for the Norma Desmond’s staircase descent’s so funny evocation ! Take this affectuous hug, “Sir” (… I know you love to be called that way, hmmm ?))
And for once, just because your magical chapter made me hum it all the time, I’ll be the one who put some lyrics – for once :
“The night is bitter,
The stars have lost their glitter,
The winds grow colder,
And suddenly you’re older
And all because of
The man that got away”
Thousand thanks for everything. Reading this Seaport’s scene in front of a beautiful night – it’s 5:30 a.m. here ! – will bring me sweet dreams, I’m sure of that.
You. are. wonderful.
… by the way, I forgot to ask : there’s something pretty mysterious in this dream. But yes : how Bette was able to know Tina’s girlfriend’s name ?
I wonder !
Ha! When Tina showed up out of nowhere in the seaport I immediatly thought “DREAM!”. But then for a moment there I thought “no! It’s not a dream, I love you so much flairforthedramatic!!”
And then, the kiss and I was like.. dream?
And BAM! You rule!
I hate the way they keep hurting each other like that… the way they can’t even be in the same room…
Bette’s outburst is – sorry for the word I’m going to use here, but I’ll explain it and it won’t seem all that bad, I promise – ridiculous but in a way that I know that if I were her I would’ve done the same thing and I would’ve felt absolutely ridiculous and pathetic afterwards and I’d just want to die.
It’s like we know it’s pathetic but we do it anyway and then we feel like crap.
Besides, with Bette being an actress and all it seems more… natural, I guess. But not a bit less painful…
OMG You are killing me with the drama dollface!! I have chest pains!! I guess I’ll have to rub them out..lol Keep on Postin!
F***! Please don’t torture us this way. Hope they find their way back to each other.
Darn, what can I say to describe what I feel. I’m happy that these two got together even when it was just in a dream. I knew it right away that it could not be happening, maybe with some other writers, but not with you. That would have been way too simple with no drama at all. =)
I really wish that Bette will accept the part. That would give you an interesting storyline, especially with Bette making out with “Christina” and Tina watching and directing the show.
Flair, you almost had me there! I really thought, that Tina showed up and they started approaching each other…BUT of course, it wouldn´t be you if there isn´t a huge twist! You ARE messing with my head! THANK YOU!!! Keep it up, girl! maximum stars for you again….
Thank you flair, you made my day ;)
Please dont do that to me again lol what a chapter! just great,even if a little crual on us….. more please!
You suck tricking us like that
K
Wonderful as always. COme on Bette, you know you want T back! Let go of the past! Love it!
Fuck I thought it’s real but it’s not. This is driving us crazy and please post soon, thanks!
