Bitter Endings, Sweet Beginnings: Part Six
“I liked their outfits,” said Alice, her cheeks turning bright red.
When Helena stared at her blankly, she figured the other woman had no
idea what a lumberjack would wear. “They were always wearing plaid
shirts, jeans, and big ***** boots. I thought it was cool looking as a
kid for some reason.”
“I know what lumberjacks wear, darling,” replied Helena. “Wilson had a
fondness for Paul Bunyan when he was four. I’m merely trying to
comprehend why you would desire to dress in such a manner.” After she
said this, Helena’s eyes sparkled with good humor and it was her turn
to squeal and squirm as Alice tickled her in retaliation. “Don’t get
upset! I was unaware of your strong butch leanings. How was I to know
when you behave as such a very girly girl?”
“I’m not a girly girl,” protested Alice huffily, scowling at Helena.
“And anyway, I’m so much butcher than you so lets not even go there.”
She stared at Helena for a long moment then said, “I want to know what
you wanted to be as a kid.”
“A chef,” Helena said simply, smiling at Alice and sighing in quiet
pleasure as the blonde rubbed her back in a sweeping circular pattern.
“When I was small, I would often go to visit my grandmother and
whenever I did, she cooked for me much like I cooked for you tonight.
Just lovely and wonderful meals, far too extravagant for the few people
eating them but she loved cooking them all the same. It’s because of
her that I can’t seem to help becoming happy whenever I’m in the
kitchen.” Averting her eyes from Alice’s to stare at a painting on the
far side of the room, she murmured, “I think it would be grand to feel
that way all the time.”
“You could still do it, you know,” said Alice. When Helena looked to
her, she continued on excitedly, “You could take classes. It’s not like
you’re really that old and you’ve got the money, so why not do it if
that’s what you like?”
“I have The Foundation to consider,” murmured Helena, looking at Alice
with affectionate and lidded eyes. “I cannot leave my work there to
pursue a whim. The work I do there is far too important to ever think
of doing such a thing.”
“So don’t quit The Foundation,” Alice said, shaking her head and
scooting back in the couch. “Just take some cooking classes then. To
learn new stuff and to have that feeling more often. Come on, Helena,”
she drawled with a smile, her hands tapping a light pattern against the
British woman’s sides. “Don’t you want to feel that way more often? I
know you do.”
Gazing into Alice’s brown eyes, warm and filled with a true and honest
care, Helena smiled slowly and said, “I think that you have already
accomplished that for me.”
“Oh,” Alice breathed, looking and feeling totally flummoxed to hear
this. Then a feeling of pure joy spread through her as she recognized
the significance of Helena’s words and reaching out to cup the other
woman’s cheek, she said, “Good.”
“Yes,” echoed Helena just as quietly, leaning into Alice’s touch. “It is.”

Great job on the portrayal of Veronica..I could soo see and hear her…it was kinda eerie..lol, but none the less great. You and sulkygeek have some kind of helacious conspiracy…you write them soo well and it just makes me like them a little more every time. Like how you put Dana into play, checking up on Alice and it’s obvious she still loves her. Ohh…i’m soo torn…the danish or helacious in this story is soo hard to choose
This was my favourite chapter of this story so far – perhaps because we got close to Helacious. But it might also have been that I can’t think of much better than going to an Augusten Burroughs reading at Book Soup with Gabby!
Wow i love this chapter, and the story overall so far, hope you post soon!!!
Dreiser – choppin broccoli!! I’m telling you I sat in history class my junior yr of high school the monday morning after that episode of sat night live singing it with my friends!!! God im old.
Veronica was so dead on, i could actually actually cameron manheims voice.
alice and helena? unbelievable cuteness. “Thank you for being what everyone else is not.” I actaully swooned!!!
great update – loved it. it was so good, i couldnt come up with a philosophical reference good enough!
OMG..’Im Luvin it’ I JUS..I LUV YOU 4 WRITING THIS STRY..the way u write – 2 cute..I like that you wrote Dana out 2 b a stocker as Alice had once been an obsessive stocker of Dana&Lara fiasco..GREAT chapter..Alice&Helena’z relationship seemz 2 be progressing niceli – closer&closer 2gether..’Young Luv’..I always look forward 2 reading your wrk..thnx 4 writing, dun stop..PLEASE mst Post so0N..
*melts* Full credit to your writing abilities!!!! I love the cuteness and dorkiness of Alice and Helena. It’s beautiful
Dana is by no means a stalker in this story. She’s simply still in love with Alice and wants to make sure she’s happy.
I have to say that the danish fan in me it’s hurt when I read the Dana’s part but you made unbelievable loving the helacious part too, so I can’t stop reading your work. Thanks. oh and I love Veronica too :P
I like Helene in this, Alice bring out the true person. she and Helene are very dorlie and very loveablem also. Wish she could show this side to others. thanks for a remarlablr chspter.
Oh dreiser, thank you for this latest chapter. The choppin’ broccoli song in the supermarket had me laughing my ass off. I love how close they continue to get and just hate knowing that it will be at least another two weeks before you pick up where you left off with your evilly planned ‘to be continued’. Your such a tease!
Though i am not a big shane or carmen fan, they were both very cute as you said they would be (i think i can handle things like that in small doses). But the best bit about that whole scene was Gabby fucking Deveaux! I can’t express how much i love Gabby. She’s a complete bitch, she’s got a wicked/sarcastic sense of humor, she’s fiercly intelligent, she uses words to cut people down in just nano-seconds… and she does it all with her ‘whatev’ blase attitude. Call me sick, but there’s just something about all that that makes her so damn hot. And its just so adorable that little ol’jenny gets her all embarrassed with her smiling pixie ways. I do hope that you intend to have more Gabby/Jenny flirting going on.
I like dana more in your story than in sulky’s… which is not to say that i think one of you is a better writer than the other, i enjoy you equally ;). But as i was saying, i do like dana better in this because she isn’t all stalkerish and super clingy… and she acknowleges helena being good for alice, and even sees that she is not what one would automatically assume she is.
Those are my comments for now, love your work.
woot that was really good… Hope you’ll come around and write some more of that…;)
