Chapter 27
Helena hopped out of the carriage and turned licking her lips slightly at Bette who was a bit slower to move being in her post-coitus state. Bette shook a finger at Helena and struggled to exit. The driver asked, “Are you okay? You didn’t get hurt did you?”
Bette responded as she tried to catch her breath. “No, no pain. Just a little spasm, so to speak. Just give me a second and I will be fine.” She then leered at Helena and continued, “Fuck! No, I will be just fine.”
Once Bette was able to stand on her legs, she exited the carriage and leaned into Helena. Intertwining their fingers she whispered, “Payback is a bitch”.
Helena kissed Bette on the cheek and answered back, “I look forward to my payback and all the penalties attached.”
The restaurant was Aureole, one of the most romantic and prestigious restaurant in Manhattan. Peggy was a frequent diner and with Maria’s using her name Bette was able to secure the most romantically secluded seat in the place. The hostess confirmed their reservation and led them through the elegantly renovated brownstone to their seat.
Bette followed behind Helena watching her subtle and sexy stride. As they sat in their booth she asked, “Have you eaten here before?”
“No I have not but I have heard nothing but rave reviews from my mother and a few friends. I have wanted to come but I am in and out so fast that I never make it. So thank you in advance for making these arrangements. I anticipate a wonderful dinner.”
“You should anticipate a wonderful evening.”
Cuddling closer to Bette in the booth Helena smiled and nodded a single nod indicating she did.
The table had a beautiful floral arrangement highlighted with another long stem red rose. The restaurant was indeed as billed. The décor was elegant, sophisticated and inspiring. The service was unsurpassed. The music was soft and romantic. The lights were dimmed but allowed enough for lovers to get lost in each other in the mood set by their environment.
The food was a perfect culinary delight. They ordered a bottle of German wine that was matched to their meal. Helena enjoyed the poached lobster tail while Bette delighted in the grilled red snapper. They took turns feeding each other and gently licking or wiping any drips that went astray. They shared the bittersweet chocolate torte which came designed as a piece of art work.

I finally caught up with your wonderful tale, Squirl and am so glad you decided to continue it! Some things you can always count on: Peggy’s blunt and borderline crude comments, Bette’s hot temper and her apparently insatiable sexual appetite, Helena’s continued struggle over what she should do, and hot, hot sex! I’m glad Helena stood up to Peggy and voiced her own desires, and I hope that Peggy found a way to accommodate that. I’m still concerned that, even though there is obviously a powerful emotional connection between Bette and Helena, the sexual part is blurring the overall view. Even Peggy recognizes that Helena is easily distracted by her libido. Bette, in the meantime, seems to have a one-track mind and was being a bit passive-aggressive in working to make Helena late while saying she wanted to fully support Helena. And not wanting to hear the outcome of the meeting–that also concerned me. The sex continues to be sizzling–no wonder they want it all the time! lol And Pam…it seems there is potential for some drama there. I hope she and Tina are able to stay together. Folks have crushes all the time–they’re not dead! It becomes problematic when one feels compelled to act on the crush or “love the one they’re with”. I just hope B & H keep the lines of communication open between them and avoid having those overreactive outbursts like the one about the bill. I do think that Peggy crossed a line there! But if someone says something, on some level, they believe it is true. Once it’s out, that will be nagging in the back of the other person’s head. Tuna omelet–that just didn’t sound right, btw! Great story, and I should be able to stay current from now on!
Hello Squirl, Aureole what a name for a restaurant especially with Bette trying to act the role :P… I must say Helena’s sexual desire is a little disconcerting as this is the kind of behavior that at one time caused this couple to come crashing down. I think this is her testing Bette… this is her coming to one final conclusion if Bette can indeed control her sexual desires in the heat of the moment so to speak. This is the moment of truth for trust and ultimate forgiveness and it is bound to hit a few bumps in the road. You can totally see Peggy coming out in Helena in this scene and that is refreshing that a woman that she barely could stand… her own mother could have such a dramatic effect on her during these few months of being lost and confused. Bette’s reaction is such a perfect reaction for this moment… she wanted to create this one unforgettable moment to show Helena how truly “In Love” with her she is and at every turn she is being thwarted… whether it is Helena and her little Carriage incident or this situation with Peggy and the restaurant… Bette feels that all of her efforts are being thwarted… she is looking back to how both Tina and Jodi were never able to truly appreciate her efforts and she is going to start to feel so rightfully lost and insecure. Words are the harshest of weapons as they reach the very soul and can be manipulated by those that hear them in whatever way they want. Here this conversation is going to be in the back of Helena’s mind for the remainder of this “Date” and it can very well ruin it. If they don’t actually talk this out… talk about their emotions and their pain… their confusion they will end up splintering in ways that are almost impossible to heal from. When you take someone’s words in your own context and start to process them with out actually talking it out completely… which they didn’t do here… at least not completely… this isn’t a conversation that you can truly have in a public place… you need to be allowed the freedom to express your fears and emotions to only one person the one you are aiming them towards… without spectators… I think that Helena should have realized right away… at Bette’s desperation at the whole procedure of this date how important it was for Bette to be able to do this for her… but they are both strong wills and unable to give up control completely. Helena needs to look back upon their conversation before the date even started… Bette has given her forever in exchange for one night and in the end she was unwilling to even give Bette one night… she let her own pride to win her over and took this into a completely different realm. She is assuming that Bette doesn’t care about her decision… that Bette doesn’t care about her choices and yet all Bette asked for was one night… for them… and then they would move towards the future. I think Bette realizes and has taken steps to assure the Helena gives this whole situation with her new found choices her complete attention. I do think that Bette might intend to leave upon talking to Helena about her choice. I think Bette needs some space to be with her daughter and to process everything that has gone on with Helena. She has to process how she will move on if Helena does indeed decide to stay in New York. I don’t think that either of these two no mater how much they are “In Love” with each other would be able to handle a long distance relationship for long… they are both sexual creatures and they will unfortunately gravitate towards their desires. I think this is another example of how Bette has evolved… she looks back upon what she has said and how it could be taken and is taking responsibility for her actions… I do not think that she needs to necessarily apologize to Peggy rather then thank her for her hospitality… to refrain from doing something like this again without discussing it with her and if she intends to stay in New York a little while longer… find her own place. I think that this ending with Bette reciprocating Helena’s desires is a turn about is fair play and that can be an unhealthy thing… this isn’t the same “In Love” desire that they were sharing before… this is primal… and it can be a good thing… but it can also be a hindrance… if these little sexual rendezvous are what Bette had in mind for this little romantic escape it will be all good… but if she was intending for it to be more intimate on an emotional level… with the style of romance that she set it off with then this might create more tensions and mental anguish later on when they start to question whether theirs is a relationship that can develop beyond the completely sexual and enter a realm of completely emotional… they are expressing themselves with levels of emotional sexual energy… but for the most part it is still primal… As you said they still have many layers to dig through before they reach their ultimate destinations… whether that is together or not is dependant on if they can move forward and communicate through their fears and desires… their passions and pain. Well once again this was completely brilliant… I love how you have use the power of words to create such vivid emotions. Sincerely, JC (PS – I have more thoughts running through my mind and will be back soon :P)
DHD-What a discertation. I am going to give you a degree in Squirlology. ;-)
I don’t blame Bette for her reaction… actually I loved it… I really love Bette’s hot temper! great update!!! can’t wait to see what happens next!
Hey Squirl – where’s the next update??? Your fans (more importantly me) are growing impatient (LOL). It’s like I’m addicted to this story or something :) Don’t make me go through withdrawl……..PLEASE.
I promise before the end of the week…I had it written but decided to go another route so need to rewrite part of next phase of date…Hate to keep the fans waiting, especially you BFT
Hmmm…Bette had an awfully strong reaction to not being able to pay for dinner. Methinks that the check was a mere symbol of a larger concern that is not being discussed (in typical Bette fashion). I’m so relieved that the pair soothed hurt feelings so we can share in the rest of the date. I wonder where the next stop will be… Great work, Squirl! Lovin’ the story!
words r like feathers to the wind; you can’t take them back…they fester in the mind and damage the spirit; however peggy should have let bette pay for the meal…imo they both over-reacted…more plz
Great update by the way. Now a little time to rant. I think Bette over reacted. But being that it’s Bette, she still has this need to be in control. Instead of going with the flow. And like some of the comments said words can hurt. Because once it is said you can’t take it back, it will always be there. Maybe Peggy should not have paid for their meal, but maybe they should’ve went to a place where Peggy has been known to go. In other words Bette needs to calm down and stop thinking about what Helena decision is and just enjoy the moment. She needs to trust her partner for a change to do what is right for the both of them. Thanks again for the update! PPS!
Great update Squirl!!! For now I’m going to leave the score where it is. Helena is right that Bette is quick tempered but at least hels recognizes this and actively talks to Bette about whatever pushed her buttons and upset her at any moment in time. I agree that these two sexy ladies seem to have uber-HOT sex after an arguement. maybe Helena taking the Peabody Foundation will the best thing ever for their sex life. I see lots of fights and arguements over work which can only lead to more nights like this one and Bette taking care of Helena when she most needs it. PPS! I’m dying to know Helena’s decision and read about Bette’s reaction :)
I can perfectly understand Bette’s reaction I wouldn’t likeit either if I had planned a romantic night with my partner and her motherof all people took care of the bill and everything. But I do agree on the words hurt more than a fist thing cause i’ve already experienced that more than once. I stil do hope they can work out their differences and move on from there. thanks for posting squirl, can’t wait for the next one.
when alphas collide a new solar system is made! :)
Yes, words can hurt much more than being punched
agree with eastmorn…can’t wait to see what happens on the date, but really interested in h’s final decision…the tension builds, then release, then tension…ah, the drama…PPS
