Bitter Endings, Sweet Beginnings: Part Three
“This thing is bigger than my apartment,” said Alice, marveling at the
sheer size of the ship. She had been on yachts before during events
like Shane’s party a year or so ago but she had never been near one
like this. A ship clearly made for sailing the ocean and sailing the
ocean well at that. Her eyes drifted to the front of the vessel and
locked on the words Helena had just said, Blues 7, painted out in
beautiful blue cursive lettering. “What does the name mean?” Alice
asked, looking at Helena, her eyes filled with a genuine enthusiasm.
“My father played Rugby at Cambridge University,” said Helena, stepping
closer to stand at Alice’s side. As she spoke she formed a sad but
loving smile and reached out to lightly touch the name of the ship. She
chuckled and looked to Alice, meeting their eyes, “Blues is the name of
their team and 7 was his position.” Seeing the curiosity in brown eyes,
Helena added, “He was a flanker, their job largely consists of tackling
and I’m told he had quite the talent for such activities. At least
that’s what his mates would claim,” she murmured wryly.
“You don’t believe them?” asked Alice curiously.
“Oh, I believe them,” Helena chuckled again, taking Alice’s hand and
leading her around to board the ship. “But you must understand, my
father was what some would call a man’s man. His mates remain
desperately loyal to him and I must admit, I’m of no help when it comes
to accurately portraying him as I worshipped him as a child.” Smiling
at Alice and holding both her hands to help her step up onto the deck,
Helena murmured, “Daddy’s little girl and such.”
“What was his name?” Alice found herself asking, wanting to know more
about the parent that had clearly been the one to give Helena most of
her good experiences in regards to family.
“Nigel,” said Helena in deadpan tones, waiting for the laughter to
begin. Except it didn’t. Instead Alice smiled sweetly at her. Returning the smile, Helena took the
writer’s hand again and led her towards the cabin of the ship. “It’s a
family named passed down through the generations. I believe my father
was the fifty sixth Nigel Peabody in our family. Both he and my
grandfather rather despised having that name which led me to decide not
to follow tradition when it came to the task of naming my son.”

I really have to stop reading all of Helena’s parts in a British accent. I’m annoying myself….dreiser, you rock.
Thanks for such an endearing Helena, its far too easy to get bogged down by the cannon Helena but your tale takes me far away from that and into the realm where I quite like her and the lovely Alice together. Keep up the tension and please never stop giving us loyal and loving fans more!!!
can i say that i love that you use the right terminolgy in the right settings. Seems like such a small thing, but it isn’t. Like a tennis match, not game. Helena’s quarters, not room. You always make the right reference in the right place. And the details do not go unnoticed, thanks – it makes for such great flow and reading.
A human catch and a human reeling it in – wonderful analogy with the fishing and the pending hook-up. loved it dreiser.
Alice and Helena together are so cute!
So much sexual tension!!!!!!!! Its driving me crazy. Both you and Sulky still have not even let Alice and Helena kiss!!! Someone let my girls be happy please! By the way, I love you, you are the greatest writer ever. I wait for like two weeks for this story, its kills me but when it gets here… bliss. Keep it up babe and thanks.
I loke Helena and Alice together. Lets keep then that way.
