So, i am your girlfriend and I have no say whatsoever in your life?, what I am Bette? A pretty toy you can ***** when you please? She was now yelling even louder than Bette.
Jesus Helena, you know thats not what I meant, youre just twisting everything Bette held her arms up as to surrender, she couldnt belive Helena could twist what she had said to make herself the victim in all this.
Well, Bette, tell me what is that you meant ? Said helena sarcastically, staring at bette with anger in her eyes.
You cant try to control my life, you cant try to do things for me that I have to do myself, you just cant do it Helena Bette sighed, she knew Helena wasnt going to take this too well.
Oh, I see bette, so its ok that you tried to convice my mother to give me a more important place in the foundation, but its not ok for me to try to help you out with the CAC?
Bette couldnt belive that Helena was bringing that up. It had been months ago, and in completely different circumstances.
Oh my god Helena, thats low, you know its not the same!
Oh no Bette, I think it is. And you know what? You may think I did this to control you, but I did it because I wanted to Helena said this no longer annoyed, no longer yelling, but almost sounding a bit defeated, and sad.
Bette was not used to see her like this. She didnt like the idea of causing Helena pain. As mad as she was with Helena in that moment, she still cared for her. She didnt want to hurt her.
I thought i was doing something nice for the person I love
Bette decided to give it a break, theyll get trough the party, and then, then they will talk.
Ok, Im sorry baby, I know, its just, I…I dont want them to think I need my girlfriend to talk to people for me, I really want this job. It means a lot to me she said softly, looking into Helenas pale blue eyes as she wrapped her arms around her waist.
But helena wasnt going to let it go, she wasnt going to let bette have the last word on this. She broke Bettes embrace and said coldly:
And after all I have done for you and your Little gallery I think I deserve that you to, at least, appreciate what I do for you
Bette couldnt belive her senses, had Helena just said that? Who the ***** did she thought she was? Her little gallery? What the *****? Was that what Helena thought of her hard work? A little gallery she had to help, because, without the help of the migthy Helena peabody, professional millonaire, everything would fall apart??
My little gallery? , ***** Helena, what is that supposed to mean?
This time helena understood inmediately that she had been way out of line with her last comment.
Oh B., baby, you know I didnt mean it that way… she said trying to kiss Bette, but bette quickily stopped What exactly did you meant then? Because, you know my little gallery didnt need your help
Im sorry baby, youre rigth Im sorry….I love you…I really do As she said this, she covered Bettes mouth with her, with a deep, hungry kiss. Bette let out a little moan, has she let helenas tongue enter her mouth.
Helena started to unbutton bette pants, her hand trying to reach past Bette thong.
*What am I doing? I can let her do this, this is not the way to solve things, this is not a ***** apology* Thought Bette as she decided that she had to stop right in that very second, or maybe she wouldnt be able to later…
*****! Stop Helena, is this the only way you know to solve things? She said as she buttoned her pants, and walked away from helena.
Wait, stop baby, dont go, lets talk Helena didnt know what to do, she didnt wanted Bette to go, not like this. Why did she had to be such and idiot? She loved this woman. She really did.
I Think Ive heard more than enough for one night, I have to work you know, For my, little gallery Said bette as she walked out of the office and slammed the door shut.
Helena just stood there, powerless.
*****.
—————————————————————————————–

* Damn it, does she have to be like this? ***** her* Thougth bette as she looked her reflection in the bathroom mirror. She washed her face, hoping that the water would wipe away her frustation. As you may imagine, maybe due to common sense, or maybe due to your own experience, the water didnt help at all.

*****! She yelled as she leaned against the bathroom wall.
Hey, are you all right? Said a sweet, and a little, just a little sad voice.

Bette looked up.It was Tina. She felt the strangest way when she looked at her. The exact same way that she had felt about half an hour ago, whe she had seen Tina for the first time.
She felt a jolt of electricity running trought her body, she was atrtacted to tina yes, but it was more than that. She was, at ease.
Everything was so confusing with her and helena, and the show, and the guest to entretain. She was so, defeated, so sad. She wouldnt let anyone know, she would keep it to herself, as she always did. But this woman…she was something, something else. Bette felt she could have told her anything, and Tina would have understood. She felt this, Tina could have made it all better.
Uhm, hey…no Im not really ok, but Ill be fine Bette said with a smile that tina thought was the most beautiful, and the most sad smile she had ever seen.
Ok, uh..do you want me to get anything for you? Tina wanted so desperately to make Bette fell better, she didnt even know why, she wanted to see her happy.
Bette looked at Tina sadly for what felt like an eternity. And then soflty, almost in a whisper said :Can you….stay here with me, just for,,,um, a little while?
Yes…of course Tina smiled sweetly, and sat next to bette in the cold bathroom floor.
The nigth was just starting, and both women knew it was going to be a long, crazy, intense one. But for now, it was only the two of them, in a cold bathroom floor, that felt like the perfect place to be.
