Nodding again, opening the eyes Alice mumbled in a sleepy voice.

“How long have you been awake?”

Placing the coffee mug on Alices hand, Helena smiled before walking to open the window.

“An hourI wanted to call the kids in NY”

“Right, right” Alice mumbled again sipping the hot beverage.

Letting the coffee play its magic she looked at Helena as she was tidying the room. She marvelled at how good she looked, wondering how was that possible after the night they had. Seeing her folding her jacket, Alice smiled. She was happy to realize how wrong she once was judging her, how good a friend she had been and most surprising, how wrong people were about her. Nodding, she admitted that Helena could be a cold bitch if wanted, but after all these months she knew that it was just a mask to protect herself, to hide her insecurities, a mask to help her face the world, a world that expected her to be the perfect bitch that her money, her looks and her positions meant to almost everybody. Sipping the coffee, Alice was glad to realize that she looked besides that, that she gave her a chance.

You very quietyou ok?” asked Helena looking at Alice.

“Yeahyeahsurejust a bit hangover”

“No wonder after the pot you smoked”smiling, with a teasing tone, she added “anywaylet’s go then “Helena added.

Go?…where? ” Alice asked, confused.

“The Planet, we are meeting the girls there (noticing Alice‘s clothes) we can go to your house first if you want you can borrow some of my clothes if you like” Helena said opening the closet for her.

Letting a giggle escaped her mouth, Alice added,

Yeah rightIm sure those could fit

Nodding, with a smile on her face, Helena took a beige Prada blouse from the closet and handing it to Alice said,

This could go perfect with your jeans.”

Taking the blouse, Alice nodded. Smiling, Helena nodded too.

“Ok thenIll go check some things on line cmon you dont wanna bet late, right?

Seeing Helena walking out of the room, Alice shook her head again. Placing the mug on the night stand she laid on the bed again, stretching. Closing her eyes, she rolled over. Noticing the Lavender scent coming from the sheets she sighed. God I love this house! she thought with a smile on her face..
