    Before the Fall – Eight

    She really needed some sort of pep talk but she couldn’t think of anyone to call. At least not anyone who would be a little sympathetic. And at the moment she needed a little sympathy.

    Presently she was brooding in the kitchen making tea when Bette hobbled out.

    “Morning,” Helena murmured with a slight duck of her head.

    What in the bloody world was she going to say?

    Bette merely nodded as she leaned back against one of the counters.

    “Coffee?” Bette asked a slight whine at the end of the word. This new Bette wasn’t so different from the old one. They both craved their morning coffee fix, Helena mused.

    Helena smiled to herself and reached for a cup and headed for the coffee pot and poured a cup. She added the correct mixture of cream and sugar and then handed it to Bette.

    “Thank you,” Bette said with a deep sigh as she took her first sip.

    “You’re welcome.”

    Helena couldn’t help but glance at Bette out of the corner of her eye as she went about making a quick breakfast.

    Uncomfortably aware of what she was going to tell Bette.

    “Bette–“

    “So I was thinking–“

    Helena blew out a breath and gestured for Bette to go ahead.

    “You first.”

    “Can we sit down?”

    Helena let Bette lead the way into the livingroom and Helena took a seat in one of the arm chairs while Bette took the couch.

    “Your bags are by the door,” Bette stated before Helena found the words to speak.

    Helena felt compelled to glance at the door where Bette had gestured.

    Yes, her Luis Vuitton bags were by the door where she had placed them so that she would not dodge out on what she’d planned to do.

    “Yes.”

    Bette regarded her a moment with a slightly concerned look before she sighed and ran her hand through her hair.

    “You’re leaving? Going back to New York?”

    Helena nodded.

    “Why? Did I do something? I mean–nevermind. I know you have a job and you’ve been great staying here with me these past few weeks. I guess I just expected a few more days.”

    “Bette I’m sorry but…um…”

    “I’m just going to say it, okay? This vibe I’m getting from you, from everyone really, is starting to bug me. I really get the feeling that well…you and I aren’t really together in the way it’s been implied. Is that right? Because that’s what I feel.”

    1. whoa Bette is really not into Tina…I’ve missed a few chappies so I’ll go back BUT even then I remember Bette wasn’t so much into Tina..intriguing…more soon???

    2. Brilliant update. Jenny is the best! Where has she been all this time?! :D Can’t wait for more, Speedy. Will Bette listen to the rest of the voice messages? Presumably, they’re from her, and I think that lil fact about Helena saving those messages is very telling. Loving this Helena, do post soon and make her happy! Thanks

    3. Even though it’s really complicated, Helena should have told her the truth: that she loves Bette but Bette’s old self was too stubborn to return her feelings. Oh, the drama! My poor heart!

    4. Ok I’m sane now. It has been a LONG while. Did I mention that it was LONG time ago? :D I don’t know how Bette will ever find out that she’s in love wtih Helena, although she’s evidently so. I’m anticipating… Really hoping that she’ll realise soon.
