Helena sat up in bed and watched Bette sleep peacefully. She pushed her hair out of her face and smiled softly at her lover. She took her index finger and traced Bette’s jaw line and ran her finger down her neck. Bette sighed softly and smiled. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Helena. Helena leaned down and kissed her softly.

“Morning.”

Bette moved around a bit. “Morning, how long was you up?”

“I just woke up.” She smiled and rested her hand between the two of them. “I feel like everyday with us feels like our honeymoon, even though we’re not married.” Bette smiled and rested her hand on Helena’s.

“I love that feeling. I love to have that everyday and not be bored too death by the same thing over and over.” Bette sighed. “I’m glad to have the feeling back.” She picked up Helena’s hand and kissed it. They continued to look into each other eyes and smiled. Helena leaned forward and kissed Bette once more. Bette rested her hand on Helena’s cheek. Helena pulled away and wrapped her arms around Bette’s warm body. She sighed and kissed her skin.

“I love the feeling of your body next to mine.” Bette closed her eyes and buried her head into Helena’s shoulder. They laid there in each other arms, nothing can touch them. They’re in love and couldn’t be anymore happier.

            Carmen woke up to a cold bed and room. She ran her hand over her face and got out of bed slowly. She walked over to the bathroom and turned on the water. She took off her clothes and pulled her hair out of the band. She stepped around the faucet and let the hot water hit her body. She rested her head under the faucet and let the water run over her face. The water stung her body, but it took the pain she had away. She felt herself crying again as last night replayed in her mind. She slid down the wall and brought her knees up to her chest. She put her head on her knees and cried dreadfully.

            Alice woke up and heard the phone ring. She groaned heavily and reached over to pick it up.
