“I didn’t do anything to her,” Bette snapped.
“And that’s my point. See you later, boss.”
Bette settled herself and turned on her computer. She glanced at the time and knew she’d come in later than normal. She’d had a bad night last night.
Which was sadly becoming a habit.
Rubbing her forehead she sighed.
She picked up her phone and dialed Tina’s number. She had neglected to call Tina last night. And that too was becoming a habit. She was just…not herself at the moment. She knew that she would have to apologize and she would invite Tina to Alice’s for dinner.
Tina would like that. Tina was a nice woman. Tina was some one she was content with and that was a good thing.
“Hello?”
“Hi, Tina. It’s Bette.”
“Bette, hi. So James told you I called?”
Bette glanced around her office wondering when she was going to call back Peggy. She was going to call her back and keep it short. Make sure Peggy just kept it to business.
“Um…yeah. I’m sorry I didn’t call you yesterday. Time got away from me,” Bette muttered.
She’d taken a handful of aspirin and yet her head still ached. She hated when she got hung over. At least she hadn’t been too nauseous this morning and the headache would ease as time went by.
She really hoped she hadn’t made any phone calls. Specifically to Helena. Who knows what she would have said? It was better if she just put Helena out of her mind for good.
“Well that’s fine. Do you want to do something tonight? Spend the night in bed? Dinner? A movie?” Tina asked with a light laugh.
Bette closed her eyes.
“Er…um…no. I mean–Tina. I’m just going to– Well Alice is having a dinner tonight. W–would you like to come?”
Bette shook her head amazed at the what was coming out of her mouth. She’d forced that out, changed her mind, and now Tina was going to say yes. She was going to have to see her. Deal with her.
She wasn’t ready for that. She had spent the past week avoiding her girlfriend and drinking by herself at night.
She had become pathetic.
“Do you not want me to come?” Tina asked her voice losing some warmth.

What a pleasant surprise. Now I have to go back and read.
Oh Speedy. I was having chest pain through out that painful conversation with Bette and Helena. What the hell is wrong with Bette, why won’t she admit what she is feeling, why is she afraid to give into it. How awful for Helena and now what the hell has happened to Bette Please, please please, please post soon. My chest is heavy :-(
You’ve been hinting that we will find out why our playa Bette is so reluctant to be involved with Helena. I wonder if they are related??? Is Bette the offspring, bastard child of Astor? Does she know this, so knows she cannot even begin to lay hands on Helena? I hope I’m wrong… Please tell me I am wrong. I hope for a happy ending but sometimes it just isn’t what we want. Brillant as stated before. You definately have skills.
Bette is so BULL-HEADED! Hopefully that’ll change.
Squirl, no! No, no, no. That thought never crossed my mind. I wouldn’t be able to write something like that anyway. Rest assured I am not Jerry Springer. There’s no blood relation between Bette and Helena. None. Breath easy. Whew!
I have never been so happy to be wrong. THANKS. Waiting with baited-breath for your next chapter
Damn this is good speedy!!!!! but you know youre wrong for leaving us hanging like that right
Grrr, you suck, leaving us hanging like that. But aside from that, I am very much enjoying this story and can’t wait to read more.
Wow! Now there’s a cliffhanger!! Thanks!
please speed posta again soon.. great chapter.. i love belena stories..
What in the world was the inspiration for Peggy and Astor? Those two are really special. Great description, I felt as though I was there. Ok, what was really the impetus for the current situation that B and H find themselves experiencing? Is H truly tired of pining or did something specific occur? Ummmm…..what’s AU? The two stories almost feel like they fit together, almost! BYMAPS
I’m sure that every reader has heart ache from Helena and Bette’s attitude and conversation. You’re so cruel leaving us on a cliffhanger! lol.
Good work, really. And although I like some of those, it IS nice to read a good story with proper grammar & spelling.Keep up with the excellent work, I’m really looking forward to the next episode.
lwfan_niki AU is alternate universe. Which since this isn’t cannon, it would be AU. The two stories won’t resemble each other too much hopefully. Thanks a lot guys.
Good god :( this chapter made MY heart ache too… you’re cutting us right to the core with this story Speedy… I hope you have happy ending and give us hope. Thanks for this..
See a good reason why you shouldn’t drink so much, speedy, I LOVE this story and especially that it’s not focused on tina. I love how you write these two, pls post soon, I’m hanging on the edge of my seat!!!
OMG! You’re making my heart ache with this chapter! I… shit! I’ve been where Helena is and this chapter just brought it all home to me. dman, you’re good! Despite the heartache and gut-wrenching conversations, this is written superbly. I am so into this story. You’ve got some serious talent there, Speed. I hate to see the end of each chapter. That’s a sure sign of something great! Please, continue. Preferably, real soon..lol! If there was a rating, you’d get 5 stars for all of the chapters so far! Magnificent job you’re doing. Keep it up!
I can’t stop reading this story…I am a Tibetter but this story is so appealing. The tension between the two of them is so powerful. I don’t know what is holding Bette back from admitting to Helena that she means the world to her…you have written this so well I am on the edge of my seat. Will Helena make it back to LA? Keep posting.
i soooooo luv this story, this is a different side of bette, that i think is really sexy!!!!now hurry up and write!!!!!!
