Bette and I looked at each other, both amused and bewildered at Mummy’s sudden and surprising reminiscence. Bette sought to bring her back to earth.
“Peggy? How’s the wine? Does it complement your lamb?” Bette asked.
“What? Oh, yes. Marvelous selection, my dear,” Mummy affirmed, her thoughts almost reluctantly returning to the present. Then she interjected, alluding to her brief cerebral excursion into the past, “You know, I always say ‘people in love should see the sea.’”
“Yes, you do, Peggy. Do you remember you told me that on the very evening we met in your Penthouse at the Los Alamendros?” Bette inquired.
“Did I?” Mummy said curiously, trying to recall the conversation.
“Yes, you had mistaken me for the seller of the Kandinsky you wanted for your collection. And you called out for José to make a drink for us. Roadkill, I believe was the name of it. Anyway, you had given José the evening off to take his girlfriend to the sea,” Bette reminded her.
“Ah, yes. I remember. The night you swooned at the sight of the Carla Marie Freed,” Mummy recollected. “Helena, I told you about that night!”
“Indeed, you did, Mummy,” I smiled, rubbing Bette’s thigh under the table.
“I had a startling reaction to some extraordinary works of art last night, as well,” Bette said excitedly, smiling brightly.
“Oh?” Mummy replied, her interest piqued.
“Bette!” I cautioned her.
My warning went unheeded, although Bette looked at me before continuing and stroked my face with her hand.
“It seems Helena had been keeping a secret from me. That she is a talented and skillful artist,” Bette told Mummy.
“Do you think so?” Mummy remarked, with more than a hint of interest in Bette’s opinion. “You recognized her talent too?”
“Without a doubt. She’s very gifted. I can’t believe she never pursued her art further,” Bette continued.
“I suppose that’s my fault,” Mummy confessed. “I thought the same as you, that the she was extremely talented. But I determined my opinion must be biased because she was my daughter. I didn’t encourage her properly, even though I was delighted and moved by her work.”
“Indeed, I should think you would have been ‘delighted and moved.’ I know I was. And I plan to continue to encourage her to return to painting,” I said enthusiastically and growing increasingly animated.

Something good will come out of this yet/ a budding artist. and a Mother and daughter that will reunite. thanks
That was touching…like I said before there is so much love here it seems like they have been together for longer than a week. It is nice that Peggy is showing Helena how much she cares for her and admires her. Please post soon.
Peggy is awesome. You write her so well!!!! She’s a little crazy with the sexual questions, but I guess that’s Peggy. Wow, you can really feel the love between Bette and Helena. The emotions in your story are just great!
any chapter with Peggy is golden to me. i think the heart to heart b/w Peggy and Heena will be good for their relationship. and how cute is Peggy patting ette’s butt at the end of this chapter….aww that Peabody, what a dame! Post soon!
I suppose all that love flowing around can be a potent thing. Strange that healing can be traumatic, at least in it’s initial stages. You know, it occurs to me that in some ways Peggy is sort of like an upper case, upper class, upper crust version of Alice. The both of them are forever curious about others’ sex lives and likely to say just about anything. Peggy should give Alice some pointers.
Very sweet indeed
A dearth of comments and a lack of readership confirm to me that this should be the 2nd to last chapter. Next time, I will try to wrap it up neatly for you who have been faithful. Thank you to those few of you who have continued to read and who seem to understand me!
they’ve only been together for a week…but dang-it if it doesn’t feel like months…peggy is hysterical, but her sensitivity this chapter was awesome..love the way you reveal those soft spots…THANKS!
Zheese, I first want you to consider that you posted on a Saturday at the end of summer (at least for those of us in the northern hemisphere). These things will impact readership. Secondy, I firmly believe authors should tell their own story according to their own muses. You didn’t get the award for nothing.
I agree with funnyone–please tell this story at your own pace and in your own way. I myself have been gone for a few days and am just now catching up, so please consider continuing.
Oh here we go AGAIN! Reading zheese’s comment made me forget what the hell I was going to say regarding this chapter. I am wondering how many comments is needed for an author to continue. Either we aren’t reading enough, or commenting enough….or something. Shit!!! There always seems to be SOMETHING that we are NOT doing enough of. In case you missed this, I read your STORIES because you are a hell of a writer and you keep me glued. It is comments like the one you posted that bug the hell out of me because the faithful followers managed to get penalized because there just isn’t ENOUGH of whatever the hell enough is supposed to be. And one other thing, I’d still be reading your stories whether you won a damn award or not!!
Yours is the only HeleBette story that I actually enjoy reading. I am a huge TiBetter but this couple seems so much in love and it is genuine. You are pitch perfect when it comes to Peggy’s dialogue. Excellent writing.
I love you for your sentiment. Keep up the good work.
Zheese baby I really like your stor. You write them with so much love and so much passion it moves me. The moment betwee B & H in the kitchen was touching and it makes me happy to see Peggy will finally take the time to get to know her daughter nd to make up for the lost time. Thanks again for sharing your story and your feelings with us.
Zheese I am a known Tibetter so my reading and commenting on your Belena story & all the other Belena stories are a tribute to your writing skills. I think alot of people enjoy reading these stories but for some reason they just don’t comment…I mean I JUST started commenting on stories I was a silent reader for a long time…dosen’t mean I don’t adore the story or that I am not in awe of the writer. Please keep the story going if that is what you want to do…I know that is what I want you to do.
zheese…i’m a loyal reader, in fact – i only read belena stories – and your my dear has to be one of the best – if not the best. the quality and fluidity of your writing is excellent…hell, i thought bette and helena had been together for years based on your writing. please don’t let it be the end, but if it has to be..PLEASE write another B&H story. Thank you for the time and creativity that it requires to put together such a comprehensive story. CC
aww this is sweet!!!!! i felt bad for helana but i know this talk will be good for helena and peggy
I’m a long-time lurker on the fanfiction area and I just wanted to say how fantastic your story is. Everything seems so natural and the love seems so true between the two of them. Please carry on (if you want to that is). I bet there are loads more lurkers who love your writing.
