“No … Alice … wait …” Bette half-heartedly tried to stop her, her own legs glued to the bench,
Alice started to walk, continuing her impression of Helena as she stumbled about, pretending to pace up and down, manically dragging on her cigarette as they’d seen Helena do before.
She stopped the second she saw Helena standing quietly in the doorway, her sudden silence the thing which cause the others to turn and look, mouths agape and uncomfortable as they watched Helena watching Alice as she halted her impression of the woman who stared back at her,
“Helena …”
Alice said it, but wished after that she hadn’t, as Helena wasted no time in shutting the door.

The morning after Bette lay in bed way longer than she meant to, listening for the familiar splash from Helena as she lowered herself into the pool, as if that simple act would make it all alright again and she wouldn’t have to feel so bad for their actions and Alice’s innate ability to screw things up.
She left the house in a daze, not even thinking about presents on the doorstep or limousines parked outside until she opened the front door to find Helena sitting there.
“Hi …”
Helena turned and smiled, “Hey you,”
She shuffled aside, making room for Bette to sit and join her since it didn’t look as if Helena planned on getting up.
“Thanks for the joint,” Bette said dryly, short of anything better to say, “we smoked it last night … in case you didn’t notice,”
Helena smiled serenely and laughed, “Your friends are funny,”
“Helena …” Bette started to apologise but Helena’s hand on her arm, softly touching her, stopped her,
“Don’t … Bette, please?” she turned away and picked up a small yellow tube from the floor beside her, handing it to Bette,
Bette read the side aloud, “Sherbet Fountain … what’s this?”
Helena smirked, “Awful candy, but it’s your present from yesterday,”
Bette chuckled, “Fountain, I get it,” she stared at the side of Helena’s face, noticing all of a sudden how terribly beautiful she seemed, her dark soulful eyes not hidden by a pair of shades for once.
“Sorry I couldn’t give it to you yesterday,” Helena explained, “my mother wanted me to go somewhere with her,”
Bette turned the gift over in her hands, intrigued by the strange looking candy, “That’s okay,”
“Hopefully today’s gift will make up for it,” Helena hinted, grinning cheekily at Bette,
Bette turned, surprised, “What’s today’s gift?”
Helena grinned, “Me …”

you know, i haven’t kissed a brit today, and i really should…anyway, this story is faaanfukckingtastic and i want more of it…it’s like a really good bar of organic chuklit with almonds, and i’m trying to gorge myself, but you’re not making it easy. the suspense is part of the package, you brilliant one, i get that, i do…i’m just soooo impatient, as you well know;) keep up the good work sweety xoxoxo
Damn, I’m counting the hours til my birthday. Hope I get a present as nice.
You have no idea what you’re doing to me with this story, couch! Heheh…Absolutely none! I am totally … entranced … enamored … enthralled with it! Heheh…like your girl said, it’s “faaanfukckingtastic” (nice word, hb). I know and appreciate that you’re writing as quickly as you can…but when something is this good and enjoyable…it is truly hard to wait for the unfolding. Thank you so much for taking the time to write…My assessment is: I perceive it as truly brilliant and awe-inspiring! Quite! Keeps me thinking and wondering… :)
So Helena doesn’t feel “real”? I started to doubt it myself, for a minute, with her disappearance, until Helena reappeared and Alice nearly managed to mess it all up. Have I mentioned how good this story is? I’m sure I have, but I’ll reiterate. It’s really good, sofa. Thanks
This story is great. Helena is so offbeat it’s cute. Unlike Jenny she’s intriguing, maybe it has to do with her childlike innocence. pps
Hmmm presents…. :)
Sofa! Bring on today’s package!!!!! Pleeeeeeaaase!! Nice chapter. Can’t wait for more, and the cheesecake, GOOD choice. Thanks for posting.
Aghhhh…only more questions! You’re killing me here. I’m trying to figure out how everyone fits in, but it’s impossible. I’ll just wait for your next update.
Did we stop to think that Peggy is Helena worse emeny. Love Peggy but///// This will be a long day for Bette,Maybe she will take off early. thanks
The cliffhangers, the slow burn is absolutely killing me. You have to keep going with this one b/c Helena is perplexing me. Alice, Dana, Shane and Bette smoking pot is too funny. What the heck is up with Marina? PPS!
