“Helena, I understand you are upset but don’t you think you are being a bit too extreme.”
With a deep sigh, Helena said. “I know I’m being overly sensitive but it’s where I am right now.”
Touching Helena’s hand to reassure her she was okay with it, Bette responded, “No need to explain, I’ll respect your needs.”
Helena pulled her hand away. Bette looked at her startled and worried, “I’m sorry. No physical contact either I suppose.”
Helena smiled a crooked smile looking down at her plate, “Especially no physical contact.”
Bette smiled too. “Then, I’ll keep my hands to myself”
They ate dinner together quietly trying not to look at each other but frequently stealing glances. Helena thought, You looks so tired. Honey please get some sleep. Bette thought, Baby, you look so pale and thin. New York is not agreeing with you.
“This is probably the best meal I’ve had in days.” Bette spoke about the meal but more so indirectly about the company.
“Me too. My poor mother has been so worried about me.”
“So you are feeling better now.”
Looking at Bette with a slight but awkward smile, “I suppose”.
“I’m sorry. I just…I don’t know. I guess how you are feeling is off limits too”
Rolling her eyes and looking away Helena responded, “I guess I’m being ridiculous now”.
Bette looked at Helena with large, warm brown eyes, “I don’t want to make you uncomfortable with my being here. I want you to be okay with me being around”.
Helena found herself getting drawn into the warmth she saw in Bette’s eyes, fighting the urge to melt into Bette’s eyes she said looking away. “Then don’t look at me like that either. Just don’t look at me like that.”
Bette smiled, “So let’s see…I can’t talk about us. I can’t talk about how I feel about you. I can’t touch you. I can’t look at you like I care.”
Helena nodded as she suppressed a slight grin, “Yes. You’ve got it.”
“Okay then.” Bette finished with the dinner then stood up to put away her plate. “I guess I don’t have too much to say right now. Thank you for letting me have dinner with you. I’m going to turn in.”

Squirl, that ending was tastefully done. I am glad that Bette still handed the Christmas gift to Helena, and said what she said. She can be a generous soul that Porter. Something that caught be and stood with me from the time I read it until the end was the distance between forgiving and trusting. You are a wise woman writing that part, for I think there is a definate difference there. I really like how you have written these two women. Those stolen glances….awwwww…loved it! Thanks for the post.
Great update Squirl! That Bette Porter is kinda smooth (evebn when she doesn’t try). Bette is slowly but surely chipping away at the armour Helena has built around her heart. I think Helena can easily forgive Bette for her “transgression” but it’s the forgetting part she’s having some trouble with. If Helena can’t get the image of Bette and Tina out of her mind it will be awfully tough for these to really find their way back to one another. OK Squirl, this was well written and I see the light at the end of the tunnel (my fingers are crossed anyway) so what’s next….PPS!
I think they’re well on their way to being back together if the latter part of the chapter is anything to go by, and as long as Bette is willing to wait, Hels will come around. Good chapter, Squirl, thanks.
WOW bette is fially cleaning up her act and willing to wait for helena… i’m glad they talked, but i think if helena work on forgivng and letting go and learning to trsut bette again, she needs to let bette know soon… that is a very tall order to fill.
back 2gether again…nice one.
that was lovely squirl..i’m glad they’re figuring it out. i had my moments where i was all ‘bette needs to go be by herself and stop being a dawg’ but then i decided i was being a moralistic a**. what she did wasn’t evil, just sh**ty to helena…now helena is keeping her dignity and her distance and bette is being polite about getting back into her space…wonderfully visioned on your part and really nicely written. more please:)
how can anyone resist her…that Porter charm…I’m glad H stood strong…make her wait girl…but not too long…great update!!
I just caught up on this story and I loved it (as always)… At first I thought that Helena should break up with bette, but this chapter was so sweet that now I hope they get back together… PPS!!
This was great. It looks like they are on the road towards getting back together!! Hell Yeah!!!
I’m glad that Helena listened to what Bette had to say and although they still have a long way to go I think Helena will eventually forgive Bette and take her back again. She will get her second chance and she better not f*ck up this time cause once the trust is broken it’s very hard to gain that back in a person, I can tell you that from my own experience. Trust is and will always be one of the most important parts in a relationship, without trust you can better give up on it. Great update as always thanks
Woooossszzzzzzzzz Squirl, I just caught up since the Christmas story that was so warm and make me feel just for a little while like we could all live together in a world in peace, thank you for that. Now, oh boy what can I say these last few chapters have my head spinning. Only you know where this is going but you clearly are a very deep thinker to have touched all the places you have with this story so again thank you for your writing. Md
