A Thin Line – Chpt 7
I wanted everything to be perfect this evening. Knowing that Bette would be arriving within the next hour or so, I dressed and made sure the CD changer was loaded with appropriate music. Nothing raucous. Everything soft. And perhaps just a little romantic in nature.
As I finished my preparation of the fruit and cheese plate, I heard my cell phone ring on the deck by the pool. I hurried out to answer it, and my heart leapt when I glanced at the Caller ID and recognized Bette’s number. ‘Please don’t tell me you’ve had second thoughts, and you’re calling to cancel on me,’ was the dread that ran through my mind.
“Hello, Bette,†I answered apprehensively, not even waiting for her to identify herself.
“Helena, hi. I was just calling to tell you I’m running a little late, but I’m on my way. I’m just leaving Tina’s. That is, if you‘d still like me to come?†Bette asked, her voice sounding strained.
“Of course, I want you to come, Bette. Is everything alright? You sound a bit agitated,†I answered.
“Everything is fine.†She hesitated. But I knew well enough that all was not harmonious. Bette continued, “No, let me be honest. Everything is not fine. And I’m not sure I’ll be the most pleasant dinner companion this evening.â€
“Bette, just a few hours ago you sounded as if you were looking forward to coming out to the beach house. What’s happened to upset you?†I asked.
“You mean besides having to say good-bye to Angelica?†she replied in the most forlorn of voices. I could tell she was fighting to hold back tears.
“Oh, Bette, I’m so sorry. I should have anticipated that returning your Angelica would present a difficulty for you this afternoon,†I apologized, my heart feeling the weight of her pain.
“It’s not just that, Helena.†Bette paused. There was an awkward silence. “It’s Tina too,†she snapped.
This announcement presented a decided discomfort. It was obvious now that Bette was angry as well as despondent. I was uncertain as to how, or even if, to respond. I didn’t have to.
“FUCK!†she shouted.
I treaded carefully, “Do you want to tell me what has put you in this state, Bette?â€

OMFG, Don’t you dare stop now.Loving your story. Between you and Swimmy, I will survive all things L.
Great chapter as always. But now I really feel like Bette’s being with Helena because she want to be listened and wanted and Helena could give her this. Of course there’s physical attraction as well. But is it true love? I don’t know. But it’s always good to have someone when you’re in need or very vulnerable.
That was enough to make your readers pant! I love this story!

Well, now that I’ve picked my jaw off the floor I can properly review this. It’s funny because tonight I had a bit of free time and in that free time I found that I should reply to your message. So, I wrote that up in Notepad, because I have to reference your message to answer it and then I went on the site to post the reply. Lo and Behold, this lovely story was up. From a semi-rookie writing point of view, you are teaching me a lot. I am learning so much from your exquisite story…and oh my the way you write those two just makes me knees get weak. If only we could all go to our own little beach houses. I like how you worked that Bette had seen the house before, and the believability about having the custody battle with Angelica. I also like how you work the rogue curse into Bette’s point of views because often time she is a bit dirty-mouthed. I am so glad this finally happened to HelBette, Belena, Betelena…whatever, and I really can’t wait for more. :D
Well, zheese, you left ’em wanting more. True for your characters, true for your readers. I have to go now and sharpen my sommelier skills, cause I want to land an heiress. Decant me, baby!

FANTASTIC! Any more words, and it would just sound understated. But completely fantastic, I assure you!
Zheese, Finally some love action between Bette and Helena. And all it took was a moonlit stroll along the beach. Beautifully written, capturing all of the anticipation and longing that both Bette and Helena have tried to deny and dissuade. You can’t stop there and leave me waiting for the comsummation of this potentially powerful partnership. Your story is based on equals meeting and reacting to each others needs and demands. Brilliant and most entertaining. Thank you for this gift, Your Loyal Fan.
wow..sexy hot stuff here!! I love all the details and I see them up on the screen!
Great stuff Z. Plz do post soon.
