“Hi” said Helena softly, silently miffed that she had no one around to brag to, about Bette being her woman. She stepped forward and leaned to greet her lover with a kiss.
“You came” murmured Bette, nuzzling her nose against Helena’s. She slid her gaze down and said “and you are the cutest thing I ever saw, dressed in that… yoga-wear” Bette silently cursed the fact that despite her Yale-educated mind, her vocabulary was now limited because of the author’s ignorance of yoga.
“This old thing?” giggled Helena, glancing down at her million-dollar outfit. “Thank you for saying that, Baby. I wasn’t planning on coming here until after an hour of yoga but…” Helena paused as if considering how to phrase her next words “…but it’s a little crowded at home”
Bette arched an eyebrow “Crowded, Helena? Crowded? In a 12-bedroom house occupied by three people?”
“Yes, well” Helena looked away, not wanting to elaborate
“Dearest” Bette touched Helena on the chin, asking “Look at me” Her eyes were met by deep stormy blue eyes, shimmering with… reluctance? “Is there one occupant in particular, that you want to avoid at your place?”
“Bette…” sighed Helena
“Helena” started Bette gently “You’ve never spoken about your mother. You didn’t even know I knew her…”
“It did surprise me a little but I should have known you two would have already met” Helena squirmed uneasily “Bette, I really don’t want to…”
“But Helena…”
Stop it, stop it, stop it. Helena squeezed her eyes shut “Bette. I don’t want to talk about my mother right now, alright? I came here to avoid her and…”
“Why are you avoiding her?” interjected Bette curiously, not knowing how far she was pushing Helena by continuing this
Helena eyes snapped open “Because she used to avoid me”
“What?” asked Bette, taken aback by the words, the tone, and eyes that suddenly looked pained and vulnerable… like a child’s. “What do you mean? When?”
“A long time ago” Helena pulled away from Bette’s arms and walked a few steps away, pretending to need some water but in truth wanting to put some distance between herself and where unpleasant memories were being dug up. If Bette were listening closely, she would have heard the clangs of doors shutting, cutting off access to Helena’s heart and mind.
