“Nothing catch your fancy?” Helena asked as she stepped into the living room.
Bette clicked off the television abruptly and turned her head to see Helena come in carrying a tray of food.
“You didn’t have to go to the trouble,” Bette muttered as she straightened up and flashed Helena a smile.
Helena shrugged and settled down next to Bette.
“No worries. Go ahead and eat up. You’ve got some DVD’s and of course a virtual library of books to look through if you want.”
Bette shrugged feeling a good amount of restlessness.
“No thanks. Maybe we could just talk?” she asked gazing at Helena.
It seemed silly but it felt like she hadn’t seen Helena all day and she had missed her. Which she had told herself couldn’t allow to happen. Because she knew that she just was not in the right space for a relationship and all that entailed.
She just had to get the courage up and tell Helena that.
Dr. Adams had told her that if she felt uncomfortable the only way her family and friends would know it was if she said it.
Easier said than done, Bette thought as she watched Helena smile tentatively at her and nod.
“You want to know more about yourself I take it?” Helena asked as she passed Bette the tray.
Bette was sure Helena would be more comfortable at the dinning room table and felt guilty for making her eat on the couch in the living room.
“Nope. Not tonight. I want to know more about you. Seems like all the little things I’ve learned about myself have left me really curious about you and my friends.”
“Well go ahead and ask,” Helena said as she shrugged and looked relaxed.
Except she wasn’t relaxed, Bette could see that. She saw it by the tight set of Helena’s shoulders.
At some point or another it seemed all her friends got really tense at certain times when they spoke to her.
Sadly it was something she was getting used to.
“Where’d you grow up? What are your parents like?”
Bette watched Helena’s side profile admiring the curve of her cheek and how the light caught her hair.
Helena really was beautiful.

The one thing that’s wrong with computers is that they can crash. Darn them… darn them all to heck! This is gonna get hella complicated if Bette tries to break up with Helena even though they’ve never been together. Drama hurts my poor heart but it’s addictive.
Sorry about your computer…thanks for finding a way to post for us. I can imagine how Bette feels…everyone is keeping her in the dark. What will Helena say when Bette tries to breakup?
It’s good. :D Follow your heart. I think maybe Bette knows that Helena isn’t really her girlfriend, but doesn’t want to admit it you know? Like she doesn’t want to know the truth. Well, my theory is that she loves Helena all the while, but is too afraid to admit it. Great job speedy. I know how it feels to have everything lost in computer wreckages BUT, maybe it’s fate, or your characters want you to potray them differently or… The flying sphagetti monster wanting some booze. I loved your writing so much, and would very much hope you would continue! Please Post again! Your’e the best!
Yay, an update! Most excellent. I quite enjoyed it. Sucks about your computer, though. Hope to read more soon.
Great chapter, as always. A little painful though, to see them so uneasy. I hope this gets resolved swiftly, and have them smile :) Thanks, Speedy
Great update. So sorry to see the awkwardness. It seems Bette has some intuition about what Helena was going to tell her but she didn’t want to hear it. But she wants to break up with her. Even with her insomnia she has to be in control. If Bette does break up with her Helena needs to hightail it back to NY and let Bette come for her.
Great to see you found the courage to re-write all this again. I’m sorry you lost everything you had so far but you’re a great writer so don’t let this get you down Speedy. I hope you won’t let them break up but the situation is indeed very akward for bth of them. Maybe give them some psace and let Bette realize she misses Helena and wants her back :)Thanks for posting.
