Wanted – Chapter 5
She took Helena’s silence and questioning glance as permission to continue.
"If you’ve wanted me for so long, whywhy did you end up with Tina?"
"I had an inkling this topic would come up at some point," Helena sighed. "I just didn’t think it would be so soon."
"I’m sorry, we can just enjoy the afternoon," Bette said apologetically. "Last night was great, it’s just that your revelation was such a shock to me."
"Don’t think I haven’t tried to figure out the answer for myself Bette," Helena said. "This has been the very topic of conversation at therapy on several occasions in the last year."
"Always fascinating to hear I’m inspiring the need for therapy," Bette said trying to lighten the darkening mood between them.
"What I told you was true," Helena began. "The direction of the Foundation was changing. Funding decisions aren’t entirely mine you know. I have a board to answer to."
"I recall you were trying to make this argument work for me once before," Bette replied. "But why fund the project of my ex and leave the arts completely out if you were interested in winning me over?"
"I didn’t know she was your ex at that time Bette," Helena said. "The decisions were already made by the time you arrived to meet with me in New York. I had pushed for Tina’s grant to be accepted because I thought that was what little I could do to appease you for the denial of your own proposal."
"And when you showed up at the center for your publicity tour?" Bette asked.
"It was the first I learned that you two weren’t together any longer," Helena replied. "And also my first personal interaction with you. Didn’t go very well, did it?"
"If looks could kill, the world would have mourned your loss that day," Bette replied truthfully.
"But the passion that you spoke with was exactly what I saw in you previouslywhat had attracted me to you," Helena said. "It didn’t make me want you less to know you were so full of venom because of something I did."

tina has lost her goddam n mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i like both stories but i miss b&T
I have to say that I continue to be surprised at how plausible, sensible and sexy you make this pairing. I really look forward to these postings, swimmer. Tough on Tina, she’s the big loser.
I will never tire of reading this story JKS! I look for it every time I come to this website, and I really only come to read this story! Can’t wait for the next post, and I’m hopeing it will be a considerably longer post. Or a less wait time for the proceeding chapters. Whatever works!
Is it possible to have a tibette and helebette heart??? Loving this story!! Can you write a scene where Bette tells Tina to go kiss her ass!!!
I look forward to this fanfic more than I do the show now, FYI. Keep writing! And hey, don’t stop with the B & T stories either!
OMG! I sooo agree with Smiley. Is it possible? I just love this story…..please continue.
Tina is lost her mind and so cold to Bette and I don’t like this Tina. I love Bette and Helena in this and they so sexy and hot together, can’t wait to see some hot stuff coming. And I agree with Smiley and can’t wait to see what’s next, thanks!
i hate that i hate tina now, she’s too cold, and i hope she won’t really cheat on a show, just have feelings and then will go back to bette…but the way you write her here makes me hate her and i can’t help myself but wish for bette happiness even if it’s not with tina…but my Tibette heart is breaking
Great story. Luv how you’ve written B & H. couldn’t Tina wait one night & not hook up w/ her boytoy. To ask Bette if she could bring someone over into their home is so foul. Post soon.
Ok, Tina’s actions are REALLY PISSING ME OFF, and I like the Bette and Helena you’re writing here . . .so please continue!
I think that Helena needs to return to theorphy because she is still trying to have what Bette once had in an attempt to perhaps imbody her. First Tina, then Alice and now the creme de le creme Bette. Bette needs to step back and reaccess this situation. Sometimes in attempt to flee a situation or get back at someone, we become that that we hate or are running away from. We allow ourselves to so thiungs that we would not normally do. I am not really convinced that this is a new and improved Helena and I don’t think that Helena really believes it either. JKS, the bottom line is that I am down with B&T and B&H do not really enter my mind as logical especially after S1. Your writting is supreb, but I am not buying what Helena is selling.
I love this story, please continue.
I was going to agree that you betrayed Tina until that phone call about inviting him over.. WTF was that about? Oh god, I think IC did her job in ruining the Tina character so well that even the diehard Tibetters are writing her as the biggest cold bitch ever.. (anyway I still love Tina, she’s just lost her mind like Bette did by the end of S1, she’ll come around… hopefully) Helena and Bette are H.O.T but I have a lil question, is Bette having too much sex with Helena cuz it’s a way to escape the fact that Tina doesn’t desire her or lets say didn’t desire her for the last 8 months and that she’s trying to get an ego boost or something??
If you are going to cheat on your partner,Do it in some hotel. Dont bring your trash into your home. I believ that Bette should move.the reason is the baby,Be easy for Bettwe to go than Tina and the baby. If Bette stays, that is not going to stop Tina,Bette will see her going and coming. Tina left the door open for Bette to do as she wants.That would be one Ms.Helena Peabody. thanks
I love the direction you are taking this…Tina has no comprehension of what she is doing. Although I am a huge B&T fan it’s nice to have B&H get past their awkwardness. Tina….what are you thinking??? Keep on keeping on with this story. Excellent!
I’ve had the hots for Bette and Helena from the moment i saw both of them, but this pairing never crossed my mind because they are both just too type A. But I like what you are doing here. nono, I love what you are doing here.
I don’t usually comment – but I feel the need to! This story is outstanding – I echo Seahursts comments on that its totally about the writing – there are authors who have tried this pairing and I don’t believe (without being negative about their writing) they have achieved the believability as you have achieved. Also, although none of us are aware how the personality transition happened in the last 6 months for Helena, what I really like in what you have done is that although Helena wants Bette like nothing she has ever wanted before, she is waiting, giving her space and time and more importantly she is listening to her and communicating with her. Just great.
I WANT TO BE THERE WHEN MS. TINA-A** KENNARD FINDS OUT! Oh, please let me be there, front and center, on the couch with a drink in my hand!… Bringing a man to the house that they share? What is this (b-word) on? Bette let her get too far down the road with her sh*t!… I AM LICKING MY CHOPS RIGHT NOW! Praise the lord and pass the popcorn!!! This drama is just what we need. …THERE IS A GOD AND SHE IS PISSED AND WORKING THROUGH THE PEN OF JKS! HALLELUJAH! Keep on Swimmin’, baby! I love your stroke!!!!!!
Oh. Yum. More. Please.
Here’s what this story says to me: it speaks to me about the peril of infidelity in relationships. Live your best life, Bette, as I am, and let me know when you write your book about this AMAZING chapter in your life!
I agree with Seahurst. You’ve taken a nearly impossible couple and through your writing made them very possible and oh yes sexy. And WTF is up with Tina inviting “someone” over? Hell, at least when Bette cheated on her with Candyass it was never in their home.
I LOVE IT!!!!! It´s amazing… it´s hot!!! And Tina deserves that for sure…. please let Bette and Helena have a hot sex scene on your next chapter!? GIRL… please continue this!!!!!
i am really loving this story…hellena is so caring with bette and tina is AWOLplease post soon
I really did WANT to hate this pairing…but with Tina being such a jerk, and the way you write B&H together…I just can’t help but want more of this story. I love it!
I bet your never thought that your “little” story would have such traction with your readers, did you? I agree with Seahurst and others, it’s all in the writing. Your writing is so on point, your version of B & H are totally likable and believable that even true die-hard TiBetters such as myself are thoroughly enjoying this story. Tina is an a**hole is this story. To have the cujones to bring a new lover to the home that you share with your partner is incredible and makes me despise her. Great job, jks.
What the hell kind of cheap drugs is Tina is smoking? To think she would have the audacity to ask Bette where she’s staying when she’s getting ready to freak her freak with this man. More power to Helena! Damn, it’s about time that Bette gets sex on a regular basis. Break Bette off, Helena! Hook a sista up! All of your stories are amazing so I definitely look forward to the next chapter of Wanted or anything else. Finally, Techgal’s comment had me dying of laughter and like her, I CANNOT wait for Tina to find out about Bette and Helena…if there’s any time for her to turn a table over, it’ll be that moment.
True…very sexy!!!
Well JKS if you can’t believe you’re writing it, let me tell you I can’t believe I’m reading it! I think I may need that TiBette tale soon from you. I feel extrememly guilty for liking this story.
You know, it’s so hard to read. Looking forward to your other story.
***** Five stars have to go here seeing as you won’t let us rate this. Just caught up on the first 3 eps of season 3…Bette and Tina are clearly on a one way trip to relationship hell. I’m glad you’re at least showing us that one of them can have a little respite from the passive agressive behaviour. Love this…not a surprise really, everything you write is a pleasure to read. Thanks.
H’s explanation seem very plausible. If she can’t have Bette, then she would have what Bette wants. And her explanation that she’s trying to be a better person certainly explains her about face change in S3, and of course, that’s due to your talent, your ability to tell a great story. Seahurst said it best. How dare Tina ask Bette if she can bring a man over to their home…their home of 8 years!! Don’t get me wrong, I love Tina but what she’s doing in this story just have me all riled up.
LMAO @ Techie & agree wholeheartedly. Why is Tina so *bleep bleep* stupid? Damn…she just doesn’t get it. Okay, let me refocus and remember what I was trying to say. Oh yeah…got it. To echo Sea…it is indeed all about the writing and you my friend do it so well. Thank you.
Sexy, soft and romantive…the perfect combination of what a partnership is supposed to be. The give and take between these two comes off as so real and heartfelt. You have brought this pair together in a time of termoil and somehow have managed to find a balance between chaos and insanity…they seem to have found a peace in one another’s arms.Please post soon.
great chapter! they are indeed a sexy couple.
What a wonderfully sexy chapter. Tina has lost her mind, although at least she is being honest and upfront about it. I wonder what she is going to say when she finds out about Bette and Helena…hmmmm… Poor Bette, she needs to catch a break somewhere, I hope she finds happiness with Helena, because Tina is showing no relief in the near future.
I like the way you write B&H..they are sexy toguether. I hope you continue :)
Somehow you’ve managed to blend oil and vinegar into a perfect concoction of surprises. Please continue!
hey there jks, i fucking love this story!!! i wasn’t sure if i would ever love reading about b and h, but u have me wanting more. Tina is a fucking bitch and i am glad that b is getting her swe-rve on with helena! even on the show T is just so mean, so as long as you are writing i will be reading
i really am enjoying your story, its a nice change of pace….and you have to admit they are sexy together!!!!!!!!!!!
Believe it! You are writing this and it’s great. Please continue.
My B&T heart don’t like the way Bette and Tina are to each other, but strangely enough I like very much Bette/Helena together – they are so hot and sexy…..and I’m actually looking forward to the couch-thing wink wink :o))
There’s so much I wanna say, but I don’t know where to start. Bette’s right though…Tina, it isn’t any of your business where Bette’s staying tonight! (I was actually clapping and laughing at that line.) I really don’t like being upset with Tina…but Helebette is just sooo sexy! They are sumthin’sumthin’! And I thought my heart had leapt outta my chest when Bette took that wine glass outta Helena’s hand. Your writing is miraculous. I look at it. I read it. I ponder it. Study it. And I can’t figure out how you do it. It just mesmerizes me. I really think this story works on so many levels. And it all makes sense to me. Just please don’t feel like you’re cheating on Tina, Swim. I don’t know what I’d do without Helebette right now. Thanks…and please deliver more soon. ‘Kay?
Well what a perfect way to start my day with a new chapter from you! This Helena would be very hard to turn away. She’s so open and honest with Bette and I think Bette finds that very attractive. Keep writing…
Hey, I’m glad your next post will be a Tibette tale! I miss them. But please continue with this story also, it’s really great! It’s something different than we are used to, but change can be good. Also, I really love your writing about these two woman. So keep posting and I’ll keep reading
Wow, I really can’t believe Tina not even 24hrs and she’s enviting him to the house. This was obviously a bit more of a flirtation with her at this point. And the nerve to call Bette…I don’t think Bette will be able to come back from this I really don’t. But in the meantime It’s good to see her enjoying herself and considering her needs as well..doormat days are over…pls continue, I want to hear more of their conversations…great insight!!!Thankyou!!!1
Damn, this Tina is so cold! As much as I have always been on Bette and Tina’s side, I’m rooting for Bette and Helena in this story! Thanks for giving us something else to think about besides the downward spiral of Bette and Tina in Season 3.
Wonderful chapter! This is really progressing nicely. I’m starting to wonder how what’s going to happen when everyone finds out, especially Tina. Can’t wait for more and I hope you post soon. Also looking forward to the new Tina/Bette fic.
Hey JKS is definitely helps that Tina is being a complete moron in this story. Unlike many I really can’t say she’s all together wrong in the show. I think they both deserve to be smacked upside their heads as far as their roles in that relationship go. But as for this story Tiná deserves all the shit that she gets. I was kind of losing my loving feeling for HeleBette cause I too felt bad for Tina. So if it’s at all possible don’t let me forget that she’s slowly breaking Bette’s heart. Thanks
I really don’t like Tina in this story.She has some nerve calling Bette and telling her that she will invite him to the house.At this point i think They should break up and then Bette can go on with Helena.Post soon
JKS, your work just might become our next Book Club selection, providing you didn’t go to jail for 3 hours and then pass it off as 86 days… And you don’t jump on couches, do you? Swim – can I call you Swim? Have your people call my people.
i thought i would HATE this but i love it — its just brilliant and i do hope evil-Tina is gonna find out about this and make her regret being so cruel to Bette
I know Bettes is doing the “do” with Helena …BUT Tina didnt exactly waste any time there did she??? You really make these 2 work in this story,its great, a totally different side to Helena!!!even down to her cooking!lol lovin it!
This story proves that it is all about the writing. With great writing anything is possible. Don’t think you are betraying Tina. She has clearly made her choices…and the fact that she would even invite someone else into their home, just so she can perpetuate the cheating…to me says that all bets are off. Honestly…how cold of a heart she has to invite this person, male or female into Bette’s home. If she wants to keep cheating on Bette, that is her choice, but have the decency to do it somewhere else…not in the home you have spent eight years in with your partner. Sorry…that is beyond cold to me. I am such a Bette and Tina advocate, yet you prove with every chapter that it truly is all in the writing, because with your magical writing in this story, I am rooting for Bette and Helena all the way. I can’t wait to see how these two alphas can conbine their powerful personalities and be a true force to be reckoned with!! I think this is a wonderful (and because of your writing) and very realistic storyline. Thanks!!
