I hesitated to answer, and not wanting to give out my secret just yet. I answered truthfully, “I did but she is not giving me any money to buy it.”
“Really, you can’t convince her to help you get it. That place is incredible.”
I pretended to be disappointed, “Yeah, it’s really nice. But I will not be seeing any money from my mother to get it.”
“That’s too bad.” Then she teased me about it. “Well maybe can pass a hat around amongst the residents and see if we can collect up enough money to make a dent in your down payment.”
I just laughed at her about the idea. That was one of the things I came to appreciated about her, her surprising and sometime dry sense of humor. Actually, the interactions between her and Papi that month, were what was really too funny. Bette’s competitive side began to show as the month progressed and they took to calling each other pet names. Papi’s name for Bette was “Brown Barbie” and Bette called Papi “Carmelita Tropicana”. Papi insisted on calling me as she flirted endlessly, her “Little English Muffin”. This always agitated Bette and made her roll her eyes and say, “She’s not English, she’s American, catch a clue Carmelita Tropicana.” It was quite fun to watch the interaction between the two. Papi really brought out interesting side of Bette, the competitive, impatient, petulant side. But I got to know a sweeter, softer yet more troubled side.
Papi was on call for us the first night and got about six admissions. She was all over the place with her presentations in rounds the following morning. I thought Tina was tough on us during my month but Dr Williams totally took her to task that morning. I actually felt kind of bad for her but she took the criticism well. By the time we got to rounds with our attending Dr Harper, who we were told had the nickname “Hammer”, Papi had pulled it together and was just nearly brilliant. She was concise in her presentations, knew the subtleties of each case and was quick to quote from recent medical texts. I don’t know how she did, it but Papi pulled it together and Dr “Hammer” Harper was very impressed with her. I could see Bette was still a bit intimidated by her experience with Dr Harper and I gently bumped her when I noticed she nervously was biting her nails during our attending rounds. She smiled at me and bumped back as her way of letting me know thanks.

I agree with Eastmorn! More please! Oh one more thing can you get Rick transfered or something, please. PPS!
S sorry I am commenting this late, but I read it early in the morning before I went to work. And now I have been answering the questions over at the FanFicReaders…I see that Helena was looking forward to her birthday and made sure that all would be clean if Dana would make it to her party. But for her she wanted Bette and it seems that Bette was falling for Helena but IMO scared. But does Helena want Bette cause she is hard to get or cause she has fallen for Bette Porter. I do hope cause she has fallen for her and not just want her and then throw her away like many of the women that have passed thru her life. Great chapter S!
I’ve been waiting for another post of this story! Thank you once again for a great chapter. Damn Rick for interrupting my girls, wtf mate! Love this story, look forward the upcoming chapters.
How could you tell the Belena fans not to drool and then dangle a bone wrapped in a promise of more to come like that? lol! For shame! lol! Great update! Oui vey and now there’s Papi. By any chance, will Shane be getting a little competition in her pursuit of Carmen? PPS
Bad phone lol – You are whats commonly known as a tease lol – cant wait to read more x
Simply awesome, need I say more…okay well more please!!!!
Helena might be setting herself up for a fall. Is Bette really into her or is she just getting caught up in the attention and kindness Helena is giving her. Rick seems to be kinda anal and maybe Bette is findig solace in Helena. IMO Helena needs to not go there with Bette because she’s in a relationship. I’m getting the impression that Helena has no respect for relationships and other peoples space. She seems to think she’s entitled to what ever she wants and not thinking about others involved.
Hey Squirl, So sorry Ive missed out on a few chapters but Im back now…How sweet of Bette with those cupcakes, I cant wait for more of Bette. I think that her fella overreacted you know what I cant even remember his name? LOL. As for Helena I knew she would pursue Bette I mean who wouldnt but will Bette fall for her charms it seems she already is though… Great work Squirl can’t wait for more PPVS
Hello My Passionate Friend… I have so missed commenting on your story… I completely love the subtleties that you bring out within each and everyone scene you illustrate with your masterful palliate of words… they are never wasted they only bring out the rawness of the emotions… it seems that our Miss Bette Porter might be finding herself playing tug a war with her feelings coming from a family environment like she did she never really had a lot of female companionships that would allow her to properly understand that nuances of how ‘their’ minds worked… she was raised by a very hard and driven ‘father’ and a lot of those characteristics tend to rub off but her she is in an environment that ‘he’ has no control over and in a way she has found her freedom at last… she still has the morals to understand her ‘choices’ but now she in in a place where it is hers to choose… her tenderness towards Helena is so very cute and so very fitting of her character… baking cakes and such is something she would have missed out on in her childhood so its like she is developing those childhood bonds within the context of her adult relationships… up to and unto the possibilities of ‘falling’ in love with her ‘best’ friend… I cannot wait to see just how far you take us… and I stand by my 60-80 plus chapter thingie… oh and I have a story to tell you about my vacation… its rather surreal in the sense that you were there with me on paper if not in flesh lol… love and hugs my passionate friend, your loyal subject and recipient of the honors of Squirlology PhD :D… JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels, Cuzzie to the ever inspiring Eunichick, Cuzzie to the ever amazing Patty, Proud Cuzzie to my Muse TCuz and personal fanner to the ever incredible Deean)
Well, well, well…Squirl you tease you! Damn that cell phone for ringing…ugh. Bette and Helena were so close. bette’s going to be so suprised when she finds out that Helena did gget that great condo. Do I see Helena making Bette a special dinner in her new digs to say thank you for the cupcakes and sorry that it got Bette in trouble with Rick? Yes, yes the Belena fans are salivating, but it’s all your fault you know (LOL). PPS!
Helena and Bette are driving me nuts. That was so sweet of Bette. And it looks like she ahs fallen for Ms. Peabody already.
Great story and great writing. If Bette is not with Tina, then she just HAS to be with Helena.
Wow, well worth the extra days wait, I just hate it when my favorite authors have a real life and can’t post for me, LOL. Can someone send Dr. Porter a memo saying: Tell Rick to clean the kitchen up and Bette will be home latter, see then she could have stayed and “chatted” for a while longer. Yea, Yea, Hels is going to have to make up for that condo story because Bette felt bad for her, geeze how big of a hat do you think it will take to collect millions of $$? Loved the spin off of the basketball sceen, to funny. What’d ya say in those A/N’s, you’ll be back early in the week? Yippie. Oh and the restaurant comment came right out of the chapter, sorry, sometimes I don’t compleat a whole thought. One more thing, the song mentioned an the begining of your A/N’s, oh never mind. Thank you, Md aka Oma
Great chapter. I can’t wait for them to get together. At least, I hope they do.
Ahem! Well. We didn’t get Bette’s point of view, but it sounds like she may have a few things of her own to think about. So I finally snagged a scanning job! Echos AND vascular. Have to move to Dayton, which makes me sad for my mother’s sake, but c’est la vie. Paychecks, here I come!
I missed this story soooooo much. GOD I love this Belena, hope they will be together. bye Rick,thank you for keeping company to Bette for Helena hehehe. PPVS
I cannot control myself… ::DROOL:: ::DROOL:: ::DROOL:: Ahhhhhh… It was my precious Belena… if only for a moment; and then that blasted phone had to ring. ::CURSES:: Bestill my heart. The marvelous kiss that almost was. From now on Squirl all Belena moments must include no pagers, no cell phones, locked doors, and no overhead pages. Geezzz… talk about the ultimate tease. I was virtually on the edge of my seat waiting for their precious lips to meet. Bette certainly became rattled when she found out she had disappointed Rick. I wonder if Helena suspects what I do about the old Rickster??? I loved that Helena hid her penthouse purchase from Bette – I hope that means you intend to tantalize us with a personal housewarming party for two (I’m starting the begging process now). The cupcakes were perfect – particularly given that they were from Bette’s personal kitchen. I wonder what next month’s rotations will bring? Dare I plead for more Belena???
