Do I know you? Part 3
Finally checking in to the meeting and putting her phone on silence she meekly smiled. “Hello, I and so sorry to be late. I have been having a day from hell.”
“Well I think we have just about everything covered Bette. We were debating whether we should have the sales event be a silent auction or just set the price. What do you think?”
“I’m sorry, Phyllis what will the layout for the art? What will be the flow for the event?”
“Well, I was thinking we would have a very informal event with the art displayed throughout the home and in the gardens. I thought I would have each student or Center participant be stationed near their work. That way they would be able to talk about their pieces. “
“I think in that event setting a modest price for each piece should be done”
Helena interjected,” I think perhaps we could take a representative sample of the best works and put them near your bar set up. These could be an area for a silent auction. As the students described their pieces in their designated areas, they might also direct the attendees to the additional pieces in the auction. With the silent auction the guests might be able to see a variety of works in one place. Hopefully, also in this format we might create a bidding war.”
The ladies at the table nodded in agreement with this concept.
Bette shook her head. “I think you maybe creating competition with the artists pieces that are in the auction from those that are not”
Helena’s pupils dilated slightly, “Well a little competition is always good. I think it stirs the fires”
Bette tried to respond but her thoughts were lost in the clarity of Helena’s aquamarine eyes and the cocky smile. She had to look away thinking, “Shit, why does she do that to me”. Looking back up. She nodded and responded I see your point. “Yes, competition is good”
Helena looked at Bette’s crooked smile then into these deep brown eyes, then back to Bette’s lips. Those so fucking excruciatingly kissable lips. Helena felt a warm sensation cover her body. She reminded herself to shake it off. "Just say no"

Bette threatening castration? The incompetent carpenter better head for the hills. Helena’s calming effect on Bette is just what the doctor ordered.
Squirl, that was so great. The brown-sugar comment was very sweet. I think this story is going very well. Do I see a B&H hookup comming soon. Thanks PPVS
brown sugar is right…i ain’t mad atcha’ helena…i so love this story…PPS
hmmmm….i’m not sure about helena’s meaning on that one. is this going to be an issue later on? helena’s issues around race haven’t been explored on the show, and it’d be a good thing–specially given her daughter’s background. interesting. i love the building tension between the two women…chapter 4 tonite you say???? bring it!!! :) thankx for the rapid posting, it’s making my day(s)!
I actually thought the brown sugar reference was cute…angie is the color of brown sugar (or coffee with milk…so cute)….squirl, how is that you denied us a fic until now…ur an excellent writer, and ur on the Belena ship, so you rock by default…lol…pps
That may be true, but I found Helena’s use of “brown sugar” to refer to Angelica not so good. She is neither part of Angie’s family, nor is she black, and it sounds patronizing at the very least, even though she was expressing affection. Probably is patronizing in regard to Bette too but at least she is an adult..and I want them to share some sugar…brown and white! Hot that would be!
Ah, the building tension between these friends! Yeah, the “brown sugar” comment can be taken a number of ways. It obviously has sentimental value for Bette, and at least for now, Bette isn’t reading more into it. But maybe she will later… Anyway, I like how you’re crafting this story!
nice… to me “brown sugar” is no more patronizing as “mocha”, it represents a color (and something nice to eat), and I don’t feel Helena has an issue with races :-) — I also laughed at the “hot new lesbian writer of vampire fictions” : now, who can this be : Helebette ? Ashtuck ?, somebody else ? ;-)
