“Why are you really here?” Bette asked glancing at Helena.
Helena fanned her fingers against Bette’s cheek.
“Because I wanted to see what you were up to. And I hoped that you would be alone.”
“You came to see me? Just to see me?” Bette asked her tone slightly incredulous.
“That surprises you?”
“Yes. Yes it does,” Bette admitted.
“Why?”
Bette turned fully to face Helena and Helena dropped her hand back to her side.
“Because I don’t know if you’ve noticed but you’re Helena Peabody. And we’ve never actually gotten along well enough for surprise visits.”
“True. But that’s changing. Wouldn’t you say?”
“I suppose,” Bette agreed reluctantly.
“Have you eaten?” Helena asked abruptly as she got to her feet.
“No. When Angie wakes up we’ll eat.”
“I’d like it very much if you two would join me for lunch,” Helena hurriedly said unable to look at Bette as she said this.
Bette frowned and then scowled and then realized what she was doing and then grimaced.
Once she got control of her face Bette ran an agitated hand through her hair.
“Okay,” she agreed.
Helena met her eyes with a slightly relieved look on her face.
“Okay?” Helena echoed.
Bette nodded smiling slightly.
“Okay,” Bette repeated.
There was a long moment of almost awkward silence where they merely stared at one another.
“I’m going to go,” Bette finally muttered pointing vaguely in the direction behind her.
“Okay,” Helena said readily.
“Okay.”
Helena watched as Bette backed up still facing her.
“Careful,” Helena warned as Bette almost tripped over an end table.
Bette looked nonplused and ducked her head before turning around and striding down the hallway.
Helena blew out a breath and bit her bottom lip worriedly.
“What are you doing?” she wondered aloud.
She hadn’t actually meant to see Bette today. Sure the woman had been on her mind but she hadn’t thought to make a visit.
Except somehow she’d been driving and had ended up on Bette’s street and after sitting outside the house for a good fifteen minutes she’d gotten out of her car. And after another five minutes she’d rung the bell and hoped that Bette wouldn’t send her away.
When Bette hadn’t she’d been happy to leave well enough alone. That is until she’d gotten a look at what Bette had been watching and then she hadn’t been able to stay quiet.

you seem to like this pairing huh? You write them very well. there is nothing like 2 alphas playing cat and mouse, or maybe that’s cat and cat..anywho…pps
Fantastic!!
Its unfair! You ended it like this! Leaving me wanting for more! Speedy! URGH! Great writing! Fabulous! Btw I do think curling is rather interesting to watch. Have you seen a curler (is that what you call them?)? They’re butts are really firm. hehe.
Why oh why does this have to be only one chapter?? You do write them very well. And, I too admit to enjoying curling. What can I say, I grew up with a Canadian mother and there was this big athetic center two blocks from my grandparents house where I could watch them curl to my hearts content!!! Thanks!
I see your Belena juices are on a roll, and it’s looking good. Great story by the way, and I hope you continue it as well.
Wow, what a FANTASTIC start for a new story, Speedy. I truly love this ! This was both hilarious ( I wholeheartedly agree with Helena : curling must be THE dullest sport ever invented… On the other hand, it’s soooo ridiculous it’s funny … At least, for the first few minutes ) and absolutely charming.So this is a sequel to ” Compatible “, right ? I mean, I assume the previous kiss they were referring to was the one they shared in “Compatible”, right ?Anyway, I love the fact that Helena can make Bette so nervous ( she was definitely rambling there to try and hide her ” embarrassment ” ) and soooo bold the minute after.I find this Bette to be very cute, not to mention very engaging.Miss Porter and Helena Fu**ing Peabody are definitely compatible, I’m telling you. LOL !Besides, their witty banter and playfulness remains one of the most enjoyable reading experiences I’ve ever had in fanfictionland ( especially when YOU are the author, Speedy ). Hats off to you ! I’m really looking forward to your next chapter.
I’m a Canadian who concurs with Helena on the curling, although Bette is right that it’s a calming sport: it puts most people to sleep! And stand-alone or not, please just continue the Belena stories in whatever form you want because, in your hands, this pairing is a delight.
Ah, the teasing! Don’t think I could have managed Helena’s restraint!
okay,so i’m a fews days late, but speeeeed, that was sooooo good, and the last line with Angelica, that was sooooo sweet. i am so smiling right now…loved it.
Hey S_R, Am loving this fresh take on Bette and Helena. There is a real sense of desire between them. Both gals are trying to deny it and just be playful around it. This passion is slow to ignite but will burn brightly. I can’t wait to see how the gals hold onto their delusions before surcoming to the inevitable. Bring it on and let them loose. This will be a passion explosion. Many thanks for this slow build up. Your Loyal Fan.
Loved it! You write these two so very well. And I’m glad to see others enjoy curling too.
please go on!!!
fantastic! but along with the last wonderful contribution, it seeeeems to make a sort of continuous story. i say continue:) pps!
Hello Speed_Racer,I must say after reading both “Compatible” and “Invite” I have found my own creative Muse reawaken after a long slumber. Both stories are excellent, your ability to capture the complex nature of these two characters. I really do hope that you will continue to explore this relationship as you seem to have a good grasp on how to move them into an engaging couple.Plus I love Helena with Angelica it just seems really cozy.Sincerely,JC
oh please keep going, please!!!!!!!!!
This is so much fun and you write their potential relationship so well. Really enjoying it.
this was a terrific chapter. i, too, enjoy curling. it’s very peaceful and relaxing somehow, watching them glide gracefully (or not so gracefully, across the ice). i had a canadian father …
I don’t want to sound repetitive, but it was amazing!!!! Personally, I don’t like curling, but I would love to watch it with Bette.. =P
Speedy, Speedster, Speedorama, Speedmeister. You cannot just leave us hanging like that. PLEEAAASSEEE more more more.
Aw.. this was really sweet. I don’t know why it took me so long to find this!
