Prologue –
She had heard the whispers all around school and was curious as to whom everyone was referring to. As far as she knew no one of great interest was coming to the University.
“So who’s everyone talking about?” she asked her classmate and friend Molly Hankton when she arrived at the pub they frequented, Hardagin’s.
“Helena you don’t know?” Molly asked in surprise.
“No. I’ve had my head buried in books all week long.”
“Well you know the arties’ are thrilled. And everyone else just sort of jumped on board once they realized who was coming and what she looked like. Her name is Bette Porter and she’s guest lecturing down at the main campus.”
Helena frowned and sipped her Guinness in silence.
“I’m surprised you didn’t know. Doesn’t she work for your mom, Helena?”
“No. No she doesn’t work for my mother. She’s has worked with my mother, but Bette’s been concentrating on her galleries.”
Molly grinned and leaned towards Helena as if they were sharing secrets.
“You sound like you know her… She’s a lesbian I’ve heard.”
Helena smirked.
“Not all lesbians know each other, Molly. I’ve met her if that’s what you want to know.”
“It’s sad a tree is known by its fruits, and not by its leaves,” Molly said with a snort of laughter.
Helena shook her head. She’d grown up almost exclusively in England and had only spent vacations in America. Which had mostly been in New York and Los Angeles. She was still getting used to Americans’ and their sayings.
She’d been spending a lot more time in America ever since she’d met Bette Porter three years ago.
She’d met Bette when she was seventeen and Bette had come to see her mother Peggy about investing in Bette’s first art gallery and obtaining some pieces to show.
To say she’d been smitten from the start would be an understatement. She was just totally absolutely in love with Bette. Though she hadn’t gone so far as to tell Bette that. Because she knew Bette would just be dismissive about it.
Bette didn’t believe in love. Had never as far as she knew been in love before either. Helena knew that if she had the chance she could convince Bette that being with her would be a wonderful experience.

Fun start. Liked Helena and felt bad for her…didn’t really warm up to Bette much though. She seemed kind of cold and flip in her responses. Thanks!
Interesting start.
Ok, I want to see where this goes. Interesting start, so far. Please, continue and post soon.
i love it already! keep going.
ooo speeds….i am liking this alot……great start……post soon……
This is really great. I can feel the tension between them just reading it. Can’t wait for your next chapter!
I’m surprised that Helena would even go that far considering Bette just called her a child. I hope this portrayal of Bette changes cause her flippant ass is not moving me in the least.
I am feeling Helena’s pain already. I’m surprised she came out with her confession.
Great start, loved the younger Helena out of sorts, and I’m sure Bette isn’t quite the player she is seeming to be…..pls continue!!
well if its a preTina Bette I guess I can tolerate Helena, especially when Bette is such a bossy bitch to her and call Hel a baby!!!!!
Hey Speedy!! Thanks for the Belena/Helebette update. This is interesting! Where are we going with this one? Nice touches with the small screen details. PPS…on both!
I must admit that the sexual tension has got me interested. Did she REALLY scare Bette off? PPS
I had to reread this story since I speed read through it the first time. I think Bette does like Helena but probably can’t reconcile it since she thinks she’s a “child”. I’m looking forward to see how Bette deals with Helena now that she knows how Helena feels and once she’s had time to contemplate the confession
oh wow…brilliant writing but its difficult to read of Helena wanting Bette so much and have Bette be so cold… plus, to be called a child is past the point of no return, unless Helena is willing to forgo anything!
