    Author Notes:

    Alice’s POV on Helebette

    “Well, you’re here now. That‘s all that matters.”

    Helena rose to welcome her. “It’s so good to see you, Bette.” And she reached to brush her lips across her cheek.

    “Helena,” Bette said, acknowledging her, but with an icy detachment.

    That was like déja-vu for me. It reminded me of the very same way Helena had kissed her when she accompanied Tina to Dana and Tonya’s party last year.

     

    Helena chose to ignore Bette’s somewhat chilly reception and smiled graciously while patting the seat next to her. “Here, sit next to me.”

    I watched Bette’s reaction as she slightly grimaced at the idea but acquiesced for the sake of civility. “Well, alright. Thank you, Helena.” Bette looked across the table at me and smiled as she asked, “Where’s Shane?”

    “Oh, she just called a while ago. Something about helping Carmen…with something. The music was kinda loud. I couldn’t quite make out what she said. She’ll try to make it later though,” I explained. “Hey, how is that cutey pie Angelica?”

    Bette beamed and briefly related her daughter’s latest accomplishment. We appropriately laughed, and ooh-ed and ahh-ed, before an uncomfortable silence washed over us.

    “So, how long have you two been here?” Bette asked.

    “Long enough that you have some catching up to do. Helena ordered you a drink just before you walked in. A double Absolut on the rocks. It should be here any minute,” I answered.

    “A single shot would have been sufficient,” Bette contended, raising her voice to be heard over the music that just started back up. She seemed offended. “I’m not planning on over-indulging this evening.”

    Helena shot me a questioning glance, eyebrows raised.

    “She was just trying to be considerate, Bette. We thought you’d like a nice stiff drink to relax with. I know you‘ve been kind of wound up lately, I mean, more than usual.”

    Standing, Helena volunteered, “If you’d like, I can try to catch the bartender before he mixes your drink, Bette. I’m heading that way toward the ladies’ room anyway.”

    “Don’t bother. I’ll just sip slowly,” Bette replied impatiently.

    “As you wish.”

    From the tone of Helen’s voice I could tell Bette’s attitude was beginning to perturb her.

    And as I sat back and watched this exchange, I was growing increasingly annoyed with Bette myself.

    4. Yes! Finally, another Helebette story! God, these two are hot together, and I’m glad that this fandom pairing is picking up pace, because these two really should find each other on the show. Wonderfully written, post more soon!

    11. I have been waiting to see if you were going to update, but since you haven’t yet, I’ll comment. I really like the way this is beginning and would love to see you continue. It’s good to see a different side of Helena and actually have some detailed explanation for the change. It would also be great to have a chance to see how Bette recovers from the breakup with Tina and moves on with her life. Thanks! Please don’t keep us waiting too long.

    14. I have seen very few pull off Alice’s point of view, but you do it flawlessly…and your characterizations are lovely. I’m glad there’s more to read! Excellent work!
