A Thin Line – Chpt 2
I had to hurry if I didn’t want to miss anything. Make haste, but avoid detection. That was my mission. It wasn’t impossible, but it was risky.
As I watched Bette and Helena make their way down the hall, I suspected they were heading towards Kit’s office. How fortunate for me. It just so happens that, as I was still prone to spontaneous crying jags because of Dana, Kit had given me the key to the private bathroom off the back of her office.
She’d provided me a personal place to weep and sob, and then to regain my composure when necessary. This allowed me to avoid embarrassing myself with uncontrollable displays of grief in the public dining, or restroom, areas if Kit was using her office. Bette’s big sis was big-hearted, but she didn’t fool me. She also wanted to keep the ‘crazy lady with the pile of snot rags’ out of view of her customers. Can’t say as I blame her. Food and phlegm don’t mix.
Anyway, there were two entrances to Kit’s bathroom. One was off the hallway, which is the one I had the key to. The other was a well-oiled pocket door that opened into Kit’s den-like haven.
With great stealth I followed Bette and Helena, trailing them from a guarded distance.
When they reached the entrance to Kit’s office, Bette asked Helena to open the door. Both her hands were occupied with the drinks she’d brought for them.
Helena opened the door and stepped aside, allowing Bette to pass. As soon as they closed the door, I scurried past just a few yards down the hall to the bathroom entryway. Time was of the essence. My left hand grasped the keys in my left pants’ pocket. But afraid to take the chance I’d miss any imminent words or scratch the lock too loudly with the key, I quickly tried the knob with my right. It turned. So far Lady Luck was my companion, and, as long as that sliding door inside was shut, she’d just purchased me front row tickets, on cue, for my pick of the season.
Steadying my hand, I inched the door open and peered through the crack. Perfect! The view from the grandstand to center stage was suitably veiled by the paper-thin wood-veneer door. Safe and secluded, I quietly took my seat on the porcelain throne.

I took a shot in checking the website for the second time this morning, just in the off chance you had updated this story, and to my pleasant surprise, you had! I can’t wait to read what Kit has happened upon. A smile among new friends, a hug, or better yet, a gentle kiss? Eep! Post soon, before I burst with anticipation!
You have a winner here. Let them be happy. Take it slow and let Bette get to know Helena. Helena is the one already in love. Let Bette do it slow and easy.Helena is way ahead of Bette thanks

I’m so glad to see you posted again ~ I love this story! We could all use a friend like Alice, couldn’t we? You’ve written the conversation between Bette and Helena like I think it would really occur on the show, so true to character. Both of them so strong on the outside but vulnerable on the inside. I love the way you’ve written all three of these characters. Please continue.
Loved the chapter…Helena and Bette are a hell-of-a couple…keep it coming!!!
This is me totally in awe of your work. You’re quite the writer, and wow, I just love this. :) I hope you decide to continue (and soon) because I’d really love to see where you take definitely.
Another fantastic chapter Z. I really do like your Alice, she’s perfectly written. And Bette & Helena, I love the way your taking this slow, letting Bette get over her prejuices aginst Helena, and seeing her under a new light. A wonderfull Helebette tale, pal. Keep Up the good work. :)
OMG, I love this story. Bette and Helena definitely need to hook up together on the show.
