“Good Morning, Alice,” Helena said, hugging Bette’s neck. “How are you?”

Bette’s eyes involuntarily closed as she snuggled her cheek against Helena’s.

“Apparently, bereft. Sexless. Unlike my Planetary companions. Who are just about to fuck before my eyes,” Alice lamented.

“Alice!” Bette admonished.

“Well? What are you going to do today?” Alice asked, slumping into her chair, but eyes still wide.

“Well, Alice, if you must know,” Helena explained, “we’re going to go get a new pussy for Bette.”

“What? What the fuck! Did ya wear out her old one last night or what?”

“Would you like to come?” Bette asked thoughtfully, laughing.

“Oh my God! Can I? I love to go pussy shopping!”

Chapter 7

They laughed uproariously as Alice sped quickly away in her Mini Coop.

Helena’s car was parked next to Bette’s in the back lot of the Planet where they had strolled together after seeing Alice off.

As Helena dabbed and wiped at the tears under her bottom lashes, Bette wrapped her hands around Helena’s waist and pulled her close, relaxing her back against her car door. Helena smiled and clasped her hands around the back of Bette’s neck. They smiled at each other. And Helena leaned in to kiss Bette’s lips.

“Mmmm. That’s nice,” Bette smiled, opening her eyes and squinting into Helena’s.

It was a sunny California day and the light was bright.

Helena smiled back and caressed the length of Bette’s hair that was cupped in her hand.

“I wonder where Alice thinks we’re going?” Helena smirked.

“I don’t know, but when we show up with Angelica to pick her up she’s going to know it’s not whatever her idea of pussy shopping is,” Bette grinned.

“Does she think we’re going to the mall to troll for women? Or perhaps sift through the sexy lingerie at Victoria’s Secret?”

Helena’s hand slid down Bette’s arm and she interlaced her fingers with Bette’s.

“Knowing Alice it’s most likely not quite as sophisticated as that. She probably thinks we’re taking her to a sex-toy shop,” Bette said.

Helena chuckled and Bette caressed the curve of her lips with her fingertip.

“So, Helena, what are you doing here? I told you I’d call you today.”

“I wanted to surprise you.”

“Well, you did. Although when you came in while ago, I was staring intently at my cell phone and wishing you’d call me.”

“Why is that, Darling?” Helena asked. “I know you said you’d call me, but I just couldn’t wait to see you again. I didn’t want to wait until tonight. Or tomorrow. So I ditched work.”

“I guess this all seemed to good to be true. You. Last night.” Bette searched Helena’s eyes. “The way I’m feeling.”

“And how is it that you’re feeling, Bette?” Helena said, smoothing her palm against the curve of Bette’s waist.

Bette smiled awkwardly and pulled away from Helena.

“Bette?” Helena said, as her companion turned her back to her and looked uncomfortably around the parking lot. “Talk to me.”

“How soon do you think Alice expects us to pick her up?” Bette asked, avoiding Helena’s question and pivoting around to look her in the eye.

“Well, Darling, we said we’d give her time to shower and change. I don’t know,” Helena shrugged, looking at Bette with perplexity. “Maybe an hour. Why?”

“Because I can’t wait to have you again.”

Helena grinned. “Your place?”
