Estelle clenched her jaw “Don’t answ…”
“I have to” Helena cut her off curtly “I need to see them” She made a move to get up from Bette’s lap.
Bette loosened her arms around Helena’s waist. She was looking supremely confused about the ‘her’s and the ‘them’s floating around.
Helena glanced at Bette but directed her question to her sister “Would you?”
“Sure” nodded Estelle, understanding at once.
“But Estelle…” hesitated Helena, hovering by the door.
“I won’t. Don’t worry. Go take the call” assured Estelle as she waited to see Helena leave.
Bette sat there, watching their half-articulated conversation in amazement. What would it be like, to understand someone else so completely? “So” she invited simply.
“So” echoed Estelle as she settled herself on the couch across Bette’s seat. She watched Bette’s face closely but before she could begin, Bette began herself.
“By ‘her’ she meant?”
“Winnie”
“Ah”
“Ex-wife”
“I know”
“Do you?” Estelle stared. She didn’t think Bette was aware of Helena’s ex.
“Yes. She came to see me” replied Bette before quickly recounting how Winnie had come to see her about testifying against ‘Helena’ for their custody battle. She could see Estelle’s mounting fury and said silent thanks for having made the right decision in refusing Winnie. “So I’m guessing you’re not a big fan of Winnie?”
“I’m not” seethed Estelle as she sat back in her chair.
Bette said thoughtfully “I have to say, your restraint is amazing. You obviously hate Winnie but… let’s just say I expected a lot more swearing and for you to at least get out of your chair”
Estelle cracked a smile “I used to… but it upsets Helena. I think it reminds her of the poor choice she made in who she took as a partner to raise her children with”
“Then why did she?” asked Bette, genuinely wanting to know.
Estelle’s expression turned sad “She fell in love. That’s what Helena is like. She falls in love so completely and wants to please so much…”
Bette remained silent. She could tell it was difficult for Estelle to tell it, because it had been difficult for her beloved twin.

Vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv! Opps, gotta go read!
So, it’s been about 25 days, huh? *going to check* Yeah, I’m right! Well, I loved it, as always. Al is a bag of mixed nuts!! Maybe they can distract her to allow Helena to step in!! Or are you attempting to ramp up the drama? I understand how you feel V. Well, know that you are not alone. Thank you so much for sharing.
Uh-oh! What would be priceless right now is if Helena walks in to see Alice watching Estelle kissing Bette. Haha! Great chapter, vvitch. :)
Touche…
ouch Master V is back in town LOL Well babe it was worth the wait, you did pretty good. Now please don’t wait another 25 days ok??? PPS thx
Damn Alice is crazy and let see Estelle kissing Bette!!!!!!!!!!
I liked the way Alice ordered Bette and Estelle to kiss. I mean, how are they going to deal with that? HURMPH. Well, the tan could be explained away with a tanning bed, but an extra sister taking a phonecall wouldn’t! Good chapter. God knows you can write. :D
Ok, why does it have to be that short Vvitch ? Just why ? You do know we love your story, don’t you ? Anyway, You have no idea how much I’ve been missing this Double vision. And once again you just cracked me up with this new chapter, only this time it was Alice that made me LMAO ! The great thing about your story is that one can never tell where you’re are going to take this. I was so flabbergasted by Estelle’s confession… Alright, so I just can’t wait for your next chappie, please just throw us a bone as soon as you can ( lol ! ), this is getting really hilarious… Oh, and the whole chapter was great, Vvitch, comme toujours… Thank you !
oh alice…I love how you use that mouth of yours to produce that loud voice, especially when it’s full of chip shards.
Ok the next chapter needs to be like 10 pages!!!!! Is that a bit much? LOL I really am wondering if tey are going to kiss
hahahhahahahahahah COL!!! That was funny, I could actually picture Bette turning to look for Helena and having to swievelback with that wide eye expression. Ya know…the funny thing is..to get Alice off their case I can see Estelle doingit before Bette could react, BUT I can see someone else other than Helena seeing it and having a reaction…but I won’t do anymore guessing on your stories…you’ve yelled at me enough about that…where’s my eyeroll button?
oh no, what happenes if estelle might like it.then we’d have twins fighting over bette, lmao great chap
Too, too funny. Alice has got them by the ying yangs now…Now how is Helena going to sneek in for the kiss.
Touche because bit of this hit home in one wy or another I guess. Again, you bring us a brilliant piece of writing…if there was an option to give it 10 stars then it’d still get 11 :)
