Before the Fall – Two
“Difficult? What hell, Bette?”
“Yes, difficult, Alice! It’s like I’m different with her. She does something to me and I just hate it. Helena’s!” Bette stopped because she wasn’t going to go on.
There were a lot of things she could say but she wouldn’t mean them.
“Attractive?” Alice said leadingly.
“Yes. She is. She’s fucking gorgeous and she knows it. I mean that’s why I didn’t tell her I was coming, you know?”
“No Bette I don’t know. Because she’s gorgeous? Are her looks affecting you or something?”
“Listen to me Alice. I couldn’t tell her I was coming; she would have thought I was coming to just see her.”
“And you weren’t? Because what you told us was that you—“
“I know what I said! I didn’t come to just see her. I didn’t. I mean why would I do that? Why?”
She really hadn’t come just to see Helena. She hadn’t scheduled a trip to England in the off chance that she would be able to spend time with a teenager. She just hadn’t.
Okay so maybe she had planned the trip, and maybe she’d called the art history department and told them she’d be in town. Maybe she had done that, but it wasn’t all to just see Helena.
If it had been she wouldn’t have invited Megan!
“Bette you’re confusing me. Let me think for a minute.”
Bette paced around the length of the sitting room impatiently. She really wanted Alice to be able to help her out here. She’d fucked things up too much to fix on her own.
“Hey Bette you ready?” Megan asked startling Bette, as she walked into their suite.
Bette turned to face Megan with a frown. She ‘d completely forgotten about her dinner plans with Megan.
“No. Megan I need to finish this phone call, you can go ahead downstairs and order. I’ll be down as soon as I finish,” she told Megan somewhat curtly.
“Are you sure? Because I can wait you know,” Megan hovered there unsure.
Bette shook her head. She wanted Megan out of here. As far away from her as she could be.
“Go ahead,” she said firmly and even managed a smile.
“Okay. What should I order for you?”
“A Scotch on the rocks,” Bette muttered turning away.

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!
