They say that time can play tricks on a memory
Make people forget things they knew
But it’s easy to see
it’s happening to me
I’ve already forgotten
every woman but you…
There was something about seeing her girlfriend on all fours, swearing and digging in the dirt, that set Bette’s heart racing. Then again, maybe her heart was bursting, not racing. The clichés were coming fast and furious as she gazed adoringly at the long back of the toiling woman.
“What on earth are you wearing? Whose clothes are those?” Bette’s voice sounded squeaky to her ears. She wanted Helena. Now. And maybe again later. And she wanted her for a long time after that. But first, she wanted to take off her dirty clothes and roll around naked with her. Her mind was flooded with images.
Helena stopped her digging, turned to her girlfriend and gave her an exasperated look. “you’re criticizing my clothes? We’re in a garden…” She emphasized this last point by waving furiously about her with her shovel.
“yeah but…” Bette squirmed uncomfortably, then looked around to make sure no one could overhear. “you look really hot.” She whispered at last.
Helena glanced down, noting the sweat and dust that covered her. Her muscles may have shone, and her torn tshirt may have left little to the imagination, but as tired and hungry and dirty as she was, she could not see Bette’s point.
“Honestly darling,” She muttered, turning back to her work. “you’re worse than I am…You have such a one track mind.”
“let me help.” Bette smirked, getting down on her knees in the dirt. She poked half heartedly at a few green things, wondering if they might be weeds. Deciding that they were, she yanked on a few.
“Hey!” Helena sat back defeated looking. “I just planted those! Sweetheart, my back is killing me, and..you’re tearing up my work…and..oh don’t look so sad.” She burst out laughing at Bette’s expression.
“I was trying to help.” Bette said with a sigh. “look at what I did to my jeans. These cost me hundreds of dollars.” She carefully helped to replant the plants in her hand, then decided that she had had enough work.

oh, well that was confusing, what i said to rufus: rufus, i didn’t mean that this story was about amelia, just that the one about amelia is coming along. c’est all:)
hb, hb, now you are making me sound picky or something!! MOI? Let’s see..well I don’t see Bette and Helena as infected, they got cured, sort of, remember? They haven’t snacked on anyone’s armbones or anything, that I recall. Then there is bloodthirsty undead creatures..I am trying to like thinking of my Bette like that…and then there is any action with Tina..NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…but except for the Tina stuff, I read, hb, I read!! I LOVED this, but when did they move to wherever they are?? Methinks Ligea has been absent for a while? I absolutely LOVED how Bette gardens..that is sooo me..Is this a weed? Looks like it to me..YANK..Not a weed? oh well!! im done! I loved all of this, the good stuff as well as what is in their hearts and minds. By the way, if you have ANY influence with Ash, PLEASE have her write more with Bette and Ashleigh really soon?? I don’t believe the Bee Geses ever stole any horses…slander against the Bee Gees, write that down…love ya hb!!!
that would be the Bee Gees, not the bejesus, and Jesus never stole any horses either, probably.
No worries about Amelia. I’m not about to complain about a kick-ass chapter filled with so much Belena goodness (and a thought-provoking dose of ecopolitics to boot). Such a painful contrast with the show (which is most certainly NOT destined for the history books), where Bette and Helena might as well occupy separate planets for all the time they spend together.
no susannah, they haven’t moved. they’re just visiting this project that helena was interested in as a way of distracting bette from her stressy job. bette’s job is an annoyance on the show as far as im concerned. and yes, the bee gees AND jesus were horse thieves. but they did it in a socialist kinda way, so it’s not a bad thing. hehe;)
Yes, I read it all. I’ll even read it when Jenny comes floating back. But whose arm is she chewing on when she’s all alone in that raft? I’m glad you’re back with this one. I’m also glad you addressed one of those dirty little secrets that we’re supposed to pretend we don’t notice: that being there’s many a liberal who are incredibly close-minded, small-minded, dogmatic, and just down right shrill should their version of THE TRUTH be contradicted. Stupid me, child of the 60s, I had thought being liberal was about being open minded, understanding, and inclusive, but for some it’s an excuse to indulge in name-calling and feeling superior all at the same time. I don’t think my point of view has changed radically (hehe,radical, liberal, get it?), but that is a title I no longer take for myself. I prefer to think of myself as something of an iconoclast. Now, where are they going to live? Where ever it is I think they need both a double wide shower and a spa tub fit for two. It just doesn’t have to be all marble and gold plate.
susannah, just don’t start accusing me of being related to those semi-simian Bee Gees. It’s a small place they and my antecedents come, so I suppose they could be distant cousins, I just don’t want to know about it. I mean it’s not like they ever shared any of their royalties with me.
Uh…come FROM. See how agitated I get at the mere thought?
hb. I don’t know how you and folks keep up with all you stories but nice update. I think this is my favorite of your stories.
Hey there Hel, just read your latest chapter here and loved how you had both Bette and Helena talk about a soulmates and liked it very much
VEry satifying read. I like these two together–at least your version. It’s so nice that they harmonize so well energetically. (Both Alphas) You make Helena so fun and charming. I don’t know that the Lword writers were able to do THAT
i liked the soul mate conversation too…and i especially like that helena isn’t feeling threatened by tina…she essentially said ‘i got that’. i like this confident helena…yeah…okay, no more hippo or other primal references…loved the update and your writing…PPS…merci.
well funny I don’t blame you, I wouldn’t want to hear about it either, but if it is two hot women coming, like Bette and Helena, BRING IT ON!!! I want to know what you’ve got against being related to the Bee Gees, as opposed to tailless cats. At least they can sing. Can Jesus sing? Can tailless cats sing? Hb…I heard in some class or other that the US is like 2% of the world’s population and uses like 80% or more of the world’s resources. Just a little fun fact.
Hello again, I really must say that I think “Ligeia” is Bette, I haven’t read the whole text for this story in a long time, but I believe the essence of “Ligeia” is that she is the one you let get away and that is what Tina did she let Bette get away. This always could become a repeated cycle if Helena decides to follow that route and join Tina, but for me I don’t think Bette could let Helena get away, cause she didn’t let Tina get away… it was beyond her control… in other words it was fate. Sincerely, JC (PS – And now slowly opened the eyes of the figure which stood before me. “Here then, at least,” I shrieked aloud, “can I never –can I never be mistaken –these are the full, and the black, and the wild eyes –of my lost love –of the lady –of the LADY LIGEIA.”)
Hello HB, I must restate for the whole world to see, you absolutely rock, as far as I know everything about you rocks. I have missed this story so very much, it is the one in which we can see the realities of these two beautiful souls collide in a tapestry of life. Your passionate words bring about the namesake of this story, for “Ligeia” herself was a passionate person: “That she loved me I should not have doubted; and I might have been easily aware that, in a bosom such as hers, love would have reigned no ordinary passion.” – EAP. Once again you rock, Sincerely, JC
I’m so glad to see this story back! I don’t know how you keep up with all your stories but i’m so happy you do. Great update!
I absolutely loved this chapter, it was so sweet, they are so freakin’ cute together! I’m trying to catch up on your other fics, It might take me awhile, but I’ll get there soon enough =D
Hey babe … Great Update … and to echo just what everyone else has already said, you write them so beautifully in this story and others, but the particular love I have for this one is that everything is stripped away, and you have two people who are just being themselves, in a way that works for them, all the passion and the romance seems fueled by the fact they’re both as in awe about it as we are ;) … more pls??
hmmm this is one of the few times I’ve ever found politics sexy… BELENA ’08! (Advertising paid for by The Ship-Straddlers FTW Committee.)
Damn girl I could completely break the record for the longest comment with this chapter, but I won’t. The reason being, is you covered SO much that just moved me to the point of wanting to share my opinion. So, I’ll choose a few and go with that. The massage…wow, I’m surprised it didn’t turn into something more. Most that I have received (from the wife of course), or given, just seem to transcend the initial purpose and becomes a passionate lovefest. Bette’s feelings on soulmates I agree with completely. There was a time I completely adopted the idea that there is just ONE single person that you make this incredibly unique connection that you sometimes cannot explain, define, or have seemed to have found with anyone else. However, in time I found that in this vast world, there are people that “fit” with you, in such unique and profound ways that cannot be explained away. These ‘relationships’ go outside of the traditional assumption that a soulmate is that ONE and only lover and partner for you, for it can be found in some absolutely incredible friendships. I also do believe, that even as lovers, there is more than one person who can complete you. Just my two cents, but I was very VERY happy to see that belief brought into Bette’s character. Great stuff HB. Bring on more, I’m really liking this one too.
that was great…it was exactly like the comment you left on one of my stories…where u said that bette was looking for a soul-mate type and it’s more than likely, Helena…i think you hit the nail on the head, honey and this post proves that well…pps
