A Thin Line – Chpt 19
“Oh, Alice, fuck! Didn’t she get the message I left? To call me?” I inquired impatiently.
“Hmm. Maybe not. She didn’t mention it,” Alice replied.
“Look, Alice, does Helena think you’re on your way out to the beach house?” I asked.
“Yeah, she wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. I was just grabbing my keys when you called,” Alice said.
“Well, don’t go. I’m in my car. I’ve left work for the evening. I can take things from here,” I asserted.
“You’re going to surprise her!” I could hear the huge grin form on Alice’s face.
“Apparently, in more ways than one,” I replied.
*****************
The security system notified me of an arrival at the entry gate. I wasn’t near a viewing monitor, so I assumed it was Alice, and pressed the nearest intercom button to greet her.
“That was quick, Alice,” I said.
“It’s not Alice, Helena. It’s Bette.”
My heart leapt, as my body released a shot of adrenaline.
“Bette?”
“Yes, Helena. Will you let me in, please?”
“Have you come to tell me good-bye?” I inquired fearfully, plaintively.
“Helena! Please! I’m not going to sit out here and talk to you through this damn contraption, when you’re just yards away. Please let me in,” Bette pled.
Before releasing the button to open the gate and to allow Bette access, I hesitated. Then I realized, whether she was here to tell me ‘good-bye’ or not, it really didn’t matter. I only knew I desperately wanted to see her, to smell her, to touch her.
While Bette made her way onto the grounds, I walked into the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, I attempted to make myself presentable and wiped the smeared mascara from under my eyes.
When I returned to the casual living area, I took a long sip of wine from the glass I’d been nursing. Then I set the stemware back down on the table, and slowly made my way towards the front door where I knew Bette would be ringing the bell momentarily.
As I reached the foyer, the chimes rang out announcing her arrival. Placing my hand on the knob, I took a deep breath, smoothed the front of my dressing gown, and opened the door.

So, is Bette telling the true? Is she going to break Helena’s heart? Is Tina really out of Bette’s life? her heart? Their love is too deep for it to be truly over.
Awww!! That was cute! I’m happy Tina can’t do any more damage to anyone but herself, by making being the idiot she always is
I’m happy for Bette. And Yes, I did hear something about fucking…LMAO!
I hope Bette is telling the truth….8yrs is a long time to walk away from….Please continue!
I hope they really can work it out together. They both deserve to be happy, finally.
That’s so sweet. I can totally see Helena become more beta when she’s with Bette. They make a great couple, hoho.
Eight years is a lone time Tina has done enough hurt to last Bette a life time. Let Bette be happy. I know she was happy with Tina for years,but all good thing comes to an end. They both have done enough to each other. thanks
That was too sweet!! It was just one big ‘Awwwwwwwwwww’.Now… Bette as a knight in shining armour?? Hey damsel in distress over here!! Love this story so much, really looking forward to the next one! Thank you!
i cant help but wonder if tina is going to pop back up she does have this weird obsession with Bette
What an unfortunate time to have your hearing affected, just when the subject turned to fucking. You know, at times like that, I’ve found it’s more my ability to speak rather than my ability to hear that’s most profoundly affected.
8 yrs is a long time; especially when its hasn’t always been happy times; and they have been unhappy for a very long time. I do believe Bette is telling the truth.
I’m so glad Bette did the right thing and went to helena’s to ease her fears. I have no doubt that Bette is over Tina and telling Helena the truth when she says she wants to be with her. But i do worry about the trouble Tina can cause now that it seems that she may want Bette back. I don’t think Bette would ever cheat on Helena but Tina could cause enough trouble for the two that they decide it’s just too hard to be together. I’m pulling for Bette and Helena all the way. Post soon.

So glad Bette comforted Helena. They have a great thing going and I hope Tina doesn’t interfer just to be nasty.
zheese – It’s always a pleasure to read your interpretation of events as they might transpire in such a circumstance. You compose your words with such thought, I can’t help but be transported to your world. You do a fine job of translating the images from your imagination for your readers to appreciate. Thanks for taking the time.
