    Author Notes:

    Bette and Helena question their feelings and come to…no resolution…yet.

    Chapter 3.

     

     

    Six weeks after nearly kissing Bette, Helena found herself in Tina’s new apartment, discussing things she really did not want to discuss.

     

    Actually, Tina was doing most of the talking. She was on some new medication, something Helena remembered Alice taking, while in the throes of depression over her breakup with Dana. Tina was chattering quickly about her life plans, giving Helena a fair amount of déjà vu and a bit of a headache.

     

    “Bette and I are going to try again.” Tina delivered the real kicker after informing Helena that her meds were really working out, that her daughter’s new babysitter was really hot but not worth dating, and that she was now working 15 hours a day.

     

    Helena had been in the process of asking Tina about the possibilities of visiting a naturopath or getting some other kind of help, but then she felt her heart catch in her throat.

     

    Helena and Bette had not spoken a great deal since nearly kissing. Alice kept prodding Helena to get the words out there—that she did indeed have feelings for Bette—but Helena stayed quiet. She had promised Bette that they would go to Chicago together, and the trip was only a week away, but now Helena really didn’t want to go.

     

    Later, in the hotel room Helena had chosen for her stay in New York after Tina’s manic phone call and invitation drew her there, she sipped a cup of tea and ran over the words she would use to back out of her trip. Helena knew that she couldn’t go with Bette and sit through days of endless back and forth about Tina. She reached for her phone.

     

    Bette sounded weirdly cheerful. “I’m so glad you called.” She also sounded relieved. “I worried…that maybe I messed things up.”

     

    “You didn’t mess anything up.” Helena’s voice seemed to come from far away. She swallowed heavily and let her eyes flit to the hotel bar, where she knew she’d find something to spike her tea with. “I’m in New York, by the way. Tina asked me to come. I also have business I may attend to, in the morning.” Helena breathed shallow and tapped her fingers on her knee. Her heart hurt.

    1. Damn! Fast wriing and within no real belena action. Feeling symapthy towards Bette, Helena, Tina… Towards them all! It’s actually quite realistic, slow settling ing daily routine but do hope you’ll fix dream couple soon;)

    2. Its interesting that Bette made the decision to let TIna go. It had to be hard to know that Tina would never trust her again. Wake up Tina! You can’t play push me-pull you with someone’s heart for such a long time. I know I experienced that and it was very painful. It’s best just to sever the cord and move on. I can’t imagine how hard it is for both Bette and Helena to be in such close proximity to one another without consequences. Hopefully, Tina will find clarity in her life and be able to be friends with both women. Great writing. Thanks for the update.

    4. Helena should have taken Shane’s advice. And I live Bette’s confidence, but also her willingness to respect Helena’s wishes and pretend (I mean try) to be friends. So did Helena tell Peggy about her feelings for Bette? What are Peggy’s thoughts? She is a Memeber of the Bette Porter fan club after all. Great update…. And so timely (lol)
