Before I could decline, Bette smiled and jumped in, “Yes, let’s go.”
I stood there stunned but she and Janet were halfway to the elevators. Bette turned and asked with a wry grin, “Are you coming?”
All I could think was. What the hell is happening? I looked at Bette curiously and she simply smiled and winked at me. Janet took us into the first of 4 units that were available. The first was on the 10th floor and required some major remodeling. Despite that, it carried a price tag of close to one million dollars. There were two units on the 21st floor, one fully remodeled in a contemporary, very modern, artistic, glass and stainless steel décor in the main kitchen and living spaces. It was nice but a bit too cold for my tastes. We both were stunned at the two million dollar price tag. The other, on that same floor, was priced lower but at 1.7 million dollars, but still needed a complete remodel. Somehow it didn’t move either of us. She brought us to a penthouse unit that had recently been renovated. It had several “green” features, mixed in with high end features. The hardwood mesquite floors with Brazilian cherry inlays made a striking impression when you first walked in. The kitchen had Vetrazzo countertops, a visual and functional pleasing mixture of recycled glass and concrete. The appliances were top of the line that any gourmet chef would be pround of. The place was breathtaking with two story ceiling to floor windows as a back drop to the living and dining room. I voiced as I looked out at the view, “This place in incredible.”
Janet further described the penthouse to us. “It has two masters, one on this level and another, which is really the main master in the loft upstairs. That one is something special to behold in and of itself. Both masters have private balconies separate from the main balcony off this open living and dining room. There was a third bedroom which was converted to a study. There is a media room with state of the art acoustics and features for you movie viewing pleasure. Helena, why don’t you walk around and check it out. I’m sure you will find this place very pleasing for your tastes and needs.”

S, am I the first to post :-) Just got our of work and come to find your new chapter up, lucky I am. Now I really enjoyed how both women had a gret time and how Bettte ended up looking at the new condo that would most likely be Helena’s and even maybe Bette one day,,,,only time and love will tell for these women huh S? I like this Janet a very good salewoman and knows all the tricks in the book IMO. I too would like to know what Bette is thinking when she hides back within herself…..loved it S!
This story is just amazing. The narrative, the dialogue….all top drawer. Maybe Belena not right away but soon?
Well, Bette is rather more noble than most going into dermatology. She was right about the umbrella, for sure. I once sat outside in shorts to read my Western Civ chapter. Took about an hour and a half. Next morning, while every thing else was fine, my shins and the top of my feet were violet (not a color I’ve ever seen in human skin before or since). When I got out of bed to get ready for French class I screamed and fell back on the bed. Felt like daggers being thrust into my lower legs. Needless to say I do NOT sunbathe. You could not pay me to get on a tanning bed. Good news is people are genuinely surprised to hear my age. Is it going to be the Peabody Penthouse? It WOULD be a good investment. Seems Bette and Helena are getting very close. Send more soon.
OH GOODY, my day is complete now, thank heavens you posted Squirl it just wasn’t Saturday without you. So Ms Bette is hesitating on the marring Rick gig, well ain’t that a beautiful thing. I think that Hels has to meet a few more people in her rotations though. Looking forwarad to the next round. Hope all is well with you. Thank you, Md aka Oma
This is my favorite chapter so far. Excellent writing.
hello my passionate friend… all the way from the beach to say you are completely and utterly amazing… your words have accompanied me on this journey and I cannot think of a more beautiful and passionate story by a more beautiful and passionate soul to be with… love and hugs, always and forever, JC
Indeed that was a good day with excellent company…Bette is revealing more…Janet is relentless and the place sounds beautiful…with bamboo floors, beck and call five star service, and multiple shower heads to boot! Verrrry nice feel! PPS
Hola Squirl…why didn’t H just ask her…”a penny for your thought”? As usual loved the update…their dialogue was really good and genuine… Tres bien!!!
ahh I love this story annd your a kick ass writer :)
I think Hels dont really know her own mind…one minute its all Dylan then Carmen and both at the same time than came along Lara…Tina and Bette have always been a maybe…Jeez Helena slow your roll. I think that she needs to focus on her self more and not unavailable women. And its true for all she knows Bette could be into her man and their future.She needs to stop dreaming, having fantasies and come back to the real world where she needs to be.PPVS. I want to see whether Helena can maintain an actual friendship while theyre in a relationship. I do hold out for her and Bette. But not like this, for things to become simplier and both women free from entanglements. Gr8 work
Great post, Squirl. I wish Bette would be a little more forthcoming with Helena… I guess Helena won’t be asking more pointed questions – she already feels as though she is walking on eggshells around Bette and is fearful of losing her friendship. The salesperson was hysterical – I could so see that happening. I hope Helena gets the money together – maybe from her upcoming trust dispersement. I agree that the Peabody Penthouse has a nice ring to it. Oh, and since Bette already saw the place, she’ll know exactly where to go once things start to heat up…boy, do I hope its soon, too. :)
Helena needs to get attached to the condoa nd the company (“Bette” of course). There has to eb something deeper and Bette and Helena having this growing friendship that if we’re lucky enough will blossom into something more. Didn’t that condo have 2 master suites? I can see Bette and Rick having some major fallout and Bette needing a place to stay for a while… We all know what can happen duirng the late night hours when… I’ll stop now, but pps!
I’ve been lurking here 4ever but this is only my second time commenting. I’m loving the story and I wait with bated breath for each post. It seems Helena is falling for Bette. I’m hoping this is where she can do some learning and through Bette’s non-interest in her see the effect she has had on Carmen. I truly think she loves Carmen but at the moment is far too ill-equipped emotionally to admit it. After her breakup with Dylan, she needs to take time for herself and just be by herself. Definitely, she needs to have some dalliances to appease her libido, just NONE with her co-workers. But after that she needs to re-evaluate things and hopefully she comes to the realization that she is indeed in love with Carmen.
