Before the Fall – Two
“Regardless of that, Bette is determined to ignore it. She doesn’t see you in that way. I would think her running from you would tell you that. I don’t want to see you humiliated by Bette Porter. In fact I won’t see you humiliated. She does not love you. You must see reason and leave her be.”
“She feels something for me. I didn’t make that up. I know she does. I can see it when she looks at me sometimes.”
“Lust and love are not the same things, dear.”
“I know that!”
“Do you?” Peggy questioned gently. “I don’t believe that you do. You’re young. You need to be out having fun not hiding under your covers like this Helena. If… and that’s a big if…you feel the same way about Bette when you’re older then you can do something about it. Now is not the right time. And life, darling, is all about timing.”
“I’ll never fall out of love with, Bette,” Helena declared fervently.
Peggy smiled slightly and shook her head.
“Then darling you must wait patiently until Bette realizes you’re not the child she seems keen on thinking you are.”
“But I don’t have patience, Mummy!”
“Patience is the name of the game, dear. You’re a Peabody. It’s in your genes. Ask your father. The man might be fickle, but he has a vast amount of patience. After all it took him quite awhile to win me over.”
“But what if she never loves me?” Helena despaired at the very thought. What if Bette never returned her feelings? Would she be cursed to be in love with Bette for the rest of her life? Loving someone in vain?
God that would be horrible!
“Then you make her love you.”
Her mother’s words startled her.
“I can’t force her to love me. I want her to love me voluntarily. Forcing her would be wrong.”
“When I say make her love you, I don’t mean force her. I mean show her the things about yourself that you want her to love. Make her see you, and if she’s the woman I think she is, she’ll love you.”
“You make it sound so simple…”
“Love is hardly simple, Helena,” Peggy said drolly.
“I guess I can wait her out,” Helena muttered. “Patience. I can work on getting patience. I just have to wait for the right time…”

This has got to be my new favorite Peggy Peabody line!!…….”Don’t make me pull you out of bed, Helena. You know how I detest physical labor. Sit up. Now.”…….Fabulous! Thanks!
my my Ms Porter all of 26 thinks she’s a grown up??? maybe at 52 she will be!!! and is Helena 19 or 20 and what is the legal age in the USA for sex??? is it 16 or 18?…..besides my queries…this is shaping up to be a good story…
Amazing… I GET this story on so many levels… now let’s see if I can learn something from Helena :) Do post soon, really loving this and your writing. Thank you
Somehow I missed chapter one! This is great, and I hope you continue this journey soon.
Love that Peggy. I’m with Seahurst on Peggy quote. Betty just see Helena as the child she first met. Thanks
I still Bette likes Helena but she is not ready for Helena and really Helena is probably not ready for Bette but your story is very intruiging
Rau age of consent in the UK is 16 yrs old. And I meant to post that Helena is 19 yrs old, but she’s known Bette since she was 17 she was legal then too. Thanks for the reviews.
Rau I didn’t answer your question, lol! U.S. consent is 16 yrs old I believe. Thanks for the review everyone!
Oh man! Come on, Bette! Hell, you’re breaking MY heart. I can SO feel what Helena is going through right now. This story just started, but I already know that it is going to be really good. These first couple of chapters just grab your attention and doesn’t let go until you run out of words to read… because the chapter has ended. LOL! I was so disappointed to see the end of this chapter. Take that a compliment, because it is one. Please, post again when you can. I am very anxious to travel on this journey with Bette and Helena. And, I LOVE Peggy. My goodness, that woman has to be the coolest person to have as a friend. I could definitely hang around with Peggy… if only to hear her talk. She is very direct and I love that!
Amazing how some people can blind themselves to their own feelings… and how far they can get to prevent themselves from seeing the truth… Bette sure has feelings… and sure does not WANT to have… a long long way to go…Keep it up…
Come on, Bette! To quote Peggy, “Don’t be such a pussy!” Lol. Great chapter, I’m hanging on my seat here.
Im really like this story….Please continue it’s like reading a book. PPS
*rolling my eyes at Bette* Git a grip woman!! So afraid…to love and be loved! I am thoroughly enjoying this and am anxiously awaiting the next installment of both stories.
wonderful, wonderful story…I love the play between these two…pls continue and soon
Oh! You’re so good in your writing! Why didn’t I notice your fics earlier! Way to go! :) Please continue!
