Chapter 13- or, Loft-y Aspirations. Or, Alice reveals that she is a stud. (which we and Dana knew)
Bette lifted her head from the outrageously cool, soft surface of the fantastically plush pillow. She marveled for a moment at it’s plump, heavenly fullness and then grinned. She had thought she was discerning when it came to bedding but clearly Helena was in a class by herself.
Pushing herself up on her forearms, she craned her neck until she could see Helena. The Brit was asleep flat on her back with a thick satin sleeping mask covering her eyes. Her limbs were stretched out beside her and she looked almost criminally relaxed.
The Brit had insisted Bette come to the loft after it was clear that everyone else intended to the same. Shane had opted to nap on one of the couches and Lenore had parked herself on one of the chaise lounges on the balcony.
Bette didn’t hear any noise from beyond Helena’s door and she took that to mean that everyone else was similarly engaged with recuperating from the long, mostly sleepless night at the hospital.
Bette surveyed Helena’s bedroom quietly. It was painted a pale, subtle green color. There was almost no other decoration on the walls. The ubiquitous posters and art prints that adorned the walls of college students everywhere were nowhere to be found. There was a framed work that Bette recognized. Squinting at it in growing amazement, she realized with a shock that it was an original. Helena certainly had wonderful taste. Expensive. But wonderful.
There was a large desk situated against one of the walls and Bette could make out a few framed photographs. A smaller version of the piano in the main room of the loft sat against another wall and Bette could see piles of paper teetering dangerously over the top of it. Surprisingly, for all it’s tasteful minimalism, Helena’s room seemed quite messy.
Turning onto her side and propping her head on her hand, Bette watched Helena interestedly. She was intrigued by the girl more than anything else. She had occasionally heard Alice or Shane mention her and they always spoke in glowing terms. Bette knew basically that Helena was filthy rich and a brilliant musician. She had also heard Alice and Shane talking about her strained, often combative relationship with her mother.

i love this story so much great work!!!!
Thank you for posting earlier. I think there will be a hard cure for my raccoon eyes. I’ll use any excuse not to go to bed. I love staying up late and refuse to sleep until the sun comes up. Talking about bed, “The bed isn’t as fun as it usually is.” I just don’t know how you come up with lines like. I could not stop chuckling. I personally detest people lecturing me while I eat. And there you were, allowing D to reprimand A while A was enjoying her soup. I am sorry and yet I couldn’t stop laughing, “I can’t really remember. The head injury.” A could be such a smart aleck and “karma will get me.” Now they really acted like an old couple with the wife yelling at the husband. It was great though how A quickly turned the situation around. LMAO. So f*cking cute. B & H were very hot. A had to open her big mouth. Now the one week without sex could become 2 or 3. This is another great chapter. btw, I finished Goldrun15’s “Crossroad” today. I totally agree with you about “a natural progression.” Now I understand and sympathize more with Lara. While I was reading it, I could feel her pain. Goldrun15, like you said, did an amazing job. I’ll get to tiff_duke later. Thank you again for telling me about them. Good night.
OOOHHH!!!Who was the movie star??? Anyways, Bette and Helena are steaming things up..I didn’t think that they would be together, but I’m glad that you put the two Alpha ladies together!!! Dana really made Alice feel a little sad after snapping on her just a little, but it was for her own good and she needed to know that she should listen to her body for now on. Anyways, I can’t wait to see what you have in store next, and I’m glad that you continue on to enjoy my lovely story =) Thanks and PPS!!!!!!
Alice the stud, that must be one pretty hot, pretty good kisser of a movie star. hhhmm wonder who though… And it would be nice to think that it was “the” best writers in the city but the people in there were people in college like me or people slightly older than us. Our bowling “coach” used to be a high school english teacher, she’s teaching journalism, history and economics now. She’s pretty smart having to do all that and sometimes she coaches bowling part time just for the fun of it. She got me another group of teammates for the writing stuff. One of whom turned out to be a competitor of mine in bowling we didn’t like each other much before. In fact we sort of hated each other but she ended up holding my hand before we did the broadcasting hihihihi. Nuff about me, LOL I’m also very into the hellcat picasso lovin, and jealous Dana is so cute btw. thanks again for posting :)
Okay, so who is the “her” that Studly Alice made out with? Or did I just miss that entirely? Also, the whole “concussed” thing made me go aww. I heart this and I heart you for posting so damn often, even though you make me look like a damn slacker. And thanks for the (sort of) shoutout!
Hi there!! Well, I’ve been a silent reader of your story until now (sorry!). I usually read anything regarding Danish… but I’ve jonesed for just a few stories; and yours is definitely one of them! Thanks so much for this daily dose (I wouldn’t mind to OD on it!!).
Please realize that I read and savor every chapter — even if I don’t get comments written before you post the next one. Great job with Belena! I know you were concerned about how to handle it and I think you hit it just right. I hope Dana isn’t too upset about the movie star. They weren’t dating at that time. Although I do find Jealous!Dana to be quite hot. Hmmmm… Maybe Dana needs some groupies. ;-D I’m glad Alice is OK but I think Dana let her off too lightly. Can’t wait to see what happens when Dana sees Frank again. BTW: Harking back to an earlier author’s note… None of your chapters have been threadbare. I love the dialog. It advances both the characters and the plot. Thanks again for the great story!
