What is it James?” Bette asked.
“Helena Peabody is here to see you.” James’ voice replied via Bette’s speaker phone.
“Send her in.” Bette’s forehead crinkled as she tried to imagine what could possibly bring Helena to her university.
As her office door opened, Bette remained seated and smiled at her visitor. “How are you, Helena?” Bette asked duly.
“I’m well, thank-you. And you?” Helena replied with a smile that equalled Bette’s and disguised her current disappointment in the Art School Dean.
“I’m fine.” Bette finished off the last of the greeting formalities swiftly given she was keen to understand the nature of Helena’s visit, “I’m a little surprised to see you here though.”
“Yes, well, I had something that I wanted to ask you and I thought it was important that I do it in person.”
“That sounds a little ominous.” Bette said with a nervous smile.
“It pertains to Tina.” Helena offered by way of explanation but really explained very little at all.
“Helena, surely if this is about Tina, she is the one you should be talking to.” Bette replied as she began to become slightly irritated by Helena’s less than direct approach.
“I thought I’d do you the courtesy, I apologise if that seems unnecessary to you.” Helena offered only a crumb more detail and she was sensing Bette’s growing frustration.
“The courtesy of what exactly?” Bette asked as she raised her hands in question.
“Of letting you know that I intend to date Tina.”
Bette laughed assuming that Helena had reached the punch line but her visitor looked a little puzzled and Bette’s stomach flipped as she realised that this apparently wasn’t a joke to Helena.
“I’ve realised that I still have feelings for Tina and I intend on expressing them in the hope that she may feel the same.” Helena said determinedly, “I’m not sure what part of that is amusing in the slightest.”
“You’re actually fucking serious aren’t you?” Bette asked as she stood from her chair and began to pace. Her mind went into overdrive as it tried to digest and respond to such an unexpected situation. “What on earth would make you think that I’d consent to this?”

Well, if Bette was there to pick up Angie after 9, that means she didn’t spend the night with Abby anyway. Everything’s not lost. Thank goodness for Helena, anyway. Great stuff, thanks for the post, HG.
This is getting better and better my friend. As always a really good history. Kind regards from your chilean friend.
Helena rocks.
I really, really hate Bette right about now…
And Helena is my hero!
And you are writing great fic, as usual. Very tight and to the point, while leading us on to the next eagerly awaited chapter! Thanks!
Ahh can’t believe you stop there lol. This is so good and can’t wait to see what Bette gonna do. Please post soon, thanks!
Bette better get off her ass and fix this if she really wants to be with Tina. That is if Tina will even listen to an explaination.
Nothing like a little jealousy to wake Bette up :)
Omfg…at least Helena has brought dense Bette up to speed with where Tina’s at vi-a-vis their reconciliation. Kick Abby to the side quickly Bette. PPS
YUP, LUCYBELLY I’m a bit of a Tina/Helena fan too.
I think you have proven once again that quality will always beat quantity and that all good things come to those who wait. Well done. I still am undecided on wtf is going on with Bette for her to even entertain the idea of Abby in the first place. Nice touch with Helena getting in there and wawing the proverbial red flag – that is almost as good as a quarantee that more drama is just around the corner. I really think you are going to have to bring out the big guns to tie the knots on this story. But I know you can do and I will be following you throughout that journey. Thank you for posting.
Wow, Helena may have given Bette that kick in the gluteus that she needed to quit playing games and go after and stay with Tina. Maybe now the road will be less bumpy.
Great update. Perhaps the answer to the question should be voiced to the one it matters most. Thanks for taking the time to update.
Thanks for the update. I just caught up with this story a few days ago. Bette needs to forget about Abby & talk to Tina……Pronto!
i love Helena!!! i’m so anxious now to find the rest
OMG-I am on the edge of my seat! PPS!
I feel so much better reading this now after this chapter. tks
Wow. early birds and all that…I sooo didn’t see this coming. GREAT turn of events. I love Tibette but good for Helena for sticking it to Bette when Tina hadn’t! Its so on ;-) PPS
This story is driving me crazy… but in a good way… can’t stop from looking forward to the next chapter. Yeah for Helena. I always liked her for Tina. Bette can be so naive and dense!
Better for Helena to give Bette her wake up call, I couldn’t ask for a better birthday present than an update from you. Thank you!
I am hoping that Helena is only giving Bette the wake up call she deserved and not setting out to be an additional obstacle. I am a bit encouraged that Bette didn’t stay with Abby, but still very upset that she did something so utterly STUPID.
i wouldnt want it any other way. i love rough!! thx
oh drama,drama, drama, can’t Bette just but those socks back in her pants and stop acting like a d__, oh never mind. Thank you, Md
Hey H-Gal, Great and poignant chapter. Loved how Helena faced off Bette and told her what for. Bette needs a good shake and I hope that is exactly what Helena has achieved here. Bette has been coasting thinkg that Tina is there and will always be there. Okay so things ain’t been the best between them as misunderstandings cause problems but now Bette has to step up the plate and lay everything on the line if she wants a chance to win back Tina for good. I want Bette to prove to Tina that she is in this for the long haul and not be dissuaded by a pretty face and the easy option. Bette better getr her ass over to Tina and sort things out. Abby can wait but she too needs a talking to. More please of this awesome adventure. Bette is in danger of throwing it all away. Please don’t make it so. Your Loyal Fan.
