Chapter 18
After a few hours contemplating what Bette had to say, Helena left her room foraging the kitchen for food. She found the leftovers of the dinner Maria made and began to warm it up in the microwave. She heard movement behind, thinking it was her mother she turned to smile, “I am starving. My stomach is growling so loud it wouldn’t let me sleep.”
“It’s good to see a smile on your face. I couldn’t eat earlier either.”
Startled to see Bette was still there she responded, “I didn’t expect to see you still here!”
“Your mother was kind enough to offer me a place to stay. I didn’t think much about where I would stay when I made my plane reservations. I just wanted to see you. Hotel rooms in the city are incredibly expensive, especially at this time of year. I hope that is not a problem for you.”
“No problem. You are my mother’s guest.”
“Does it have to be that way?”
“Bette, I wasn’t expecting to see you at all much less to even see you still here.”
“Well, I hope that doesn’t put you out too much. I don’t want to be a bother.”
“You are not putting me out and you are not a bother. I’m just thrown off by seeing you here. ”
Helena took her dinner from the microwave as Bette got hers together. She sat at one of the stools at the kitchen’s island.
“Do you mind if I join you?” asked Bette with furrowed brows afraid of the response.
“That’s fine” responded Helena as she began to play with her food anxious about Bette’s proximity.
“Thanks”, smiled Bette relieved she was not thrown out.
Bette looked around, admiring Peggy’s home and said, “This place is amazing. This kitchen should be featured in an episode of Home and Garden show.”
“It was featured in Architect Digest”. Laughing she added “The kitchen is larger that my enter condo in LA.”
Bette smiled remembering Helena’s beach home, “You Peabody women certainly enjoy your exquisite homes." Turning she attention to Helena, she added, ‘It’s good to see you smile again. I’ve missed those sparkling eyes”
Sullenly Helena responded, “Don’t get started Bette. I’m okay with talking about this townhouse, the city, and anything that is neutral. I don’t want to talk about anything related to us, your feelings about us, your thoughts about my eyes or my smile or anything else about me.”

Squirl, that ending was tastefully done. I am glad that Bette still handed the Christmas gift to Helena, and said what she said. She can be a generous soul that Porter. Something that caught be and stood with me from the time I read it until the end was the distance between forgiving and trusting. You are a wise woman writing that part, for I think there is a definate difference there. I really like how you have written these two women. Those stolen glances….awwwww…loved it! Thanks for the post.
Great update Squirl! That Bette Porter is kinda smooth (evebn when she doesn’t try). Bette is slowly but surely chipping away at the armour Helena has built around her heart. I think Helena can easily forgive Bette for her “transgression” but it’s the forgetting part she’s having some trouble with. If Helena can’t get the image of Bette and Tina out of her mind it will be awfully tough for these to really find their way back to one another. OK Squirl, this was well written and I see the light at the end of the tunnel (my fingers are crossed anyway) so what’s next….PPS!
I think they’re well on their way to being back together if the latter part of the chapter is anything to go by, and as long as Bette is willing to wait, Hels will come around. Good chapter, Squirl, thanks.
WOW bette is fially cleaning up her act and willing to wait for helena… i’m glad they talked, but i think if helena work on forgivng and letting go and learning to trsut bette again, she needs to let bette know soon… that is a very tall order to fill.
back 2gether again…nice one.
that was lovely squirl..i’m glad they’re figuring it out. i had my moments where i was all ‘bette needs to go be by herself and stop being a dawg’ but then i decided i was being a moralistic a**. what she did wasn’t evil, just sh**ty to helena…now helena is keeping her dignity and her distance and bette is being polite about getting back into her space…wonderfully visioned on your part and really nicely written. more please:)
how can anyone resist her…that Porter charm…I’m glad H stood strong…make her wait girl…but not too long…great update!!
I just caught up on this story and I loved it (as always)… At first I thought that Helena should break up with bette, but this chapter was so sweet that now I hope they get back together… PPS!!
This was great. It looks like they are on the road towards getting back together!! Hell Yeah!!!
I’m glad that Helena listened to what Bette had to say and although they still have a long way to go I think Helena will eventually forgive Bette and take her back again. She will get her second chance and she better not f*ck up this time cause once the trust is broken it’s very hard to gain that back in a person, I can tell you that from my own experience. Trust is and will always be one of the most important parts in a relationship, without trust you can better give up on it. Great update as always thanks
Woooossszzzzzzzzz Squirl, I just caught up since the Christmas story that was so warm and make me feel just for a little while like we could all live together in a world in peace, thank you for that. Now, oh boy what can I say these last few chapters have my head spinning. Only you know where this is going but you clearly are a very deep thinker to have touched all the places you have with this story so again thank you for your writing. Md
