Lately: Part 6
"Look, I would love to be with you again, but more importantly I care enough about you to not want to see you live your life in some terrible dream world that only exists for Tina’s benefit." Bette’s eyes left Helena’s green windows once again, "Look at me, Bette. Please." Bette refused, looking at every place on Helena’s face other than her eyes, "In my eyes, Bette. Please."
Bette’s eyes met with hers. They were glazing over now with the salty liquid that was daring to spill over those delicate eyelids and drip from her long and luxurious eyelashes. Helena felt the same thing as her tears were now rolling down her cheeks. It needn’t be spoken. They knew it already by looking into each others eyes. They had hurt each other so much in the past, but if they didn’t make the right decision right now, they’d only continue to feel this pain.
"I’m so sorry, Bette. I’m so sorry for hurting you. I love you. I’m in love with you and I don’t want to lose out on this chance to have you in my life. I love you." Helena moved closer to Bette, watching how she didn’t move away from her as she approached. Helena moved in closer and closer. She leaned in, tilting her head slightly. She placed her lips over Bette’s.
Their lips danced against each other. Their lips played against each other. The electricity was still there. Their skin was on fire. They stood there, their lips still against each others, for the longest five minutes of either of their lives. Bette was the first to take her lips away.
"I can’t do this. I can’t do this right now." Bette walked away to the parking lot and to her car, cursing herself and her luck all the way and leaving Helena in the dust.
Helena had let the woman she loved walk away again.
***
Bette turned the key in the lock and opened the door. She stepped past the threshhold and watched Tina rummage through the freezer. She had her back to her, so she never saw her watching. Her sweet, sweet Tina. Tina, who had taken care of her when she needed someone to love her. She was a great girl and it hurt her to do this to her. If there was one thing in the world that Bette was not, it was a heartbreaker. She hated hurting anybody and she was about to. It wasn’t about Helena or Tina, it was about her. She took a seat dropping her keys on the table.

I’m thinking it Helena but how would she know where Bette was unless she went to the house and Tina told her.
Damn you, ash! I actually smiled when reading the line “to claim what’s mine”.. Damn you for making me smile over the woman who called Tina manipulative! Loved Bette’s break up though. She does love Tina. Tina’s amazing.. Helena’s alright.. Sometimes. Love the story though, babe. Shame to hear about Village being on hold.. I like that one. But whatever works for you. You could work on a rotation, it’s what I generally do although I tend to stray from it occasionally. Thanks for the update! ADx
TINA IS CLAIMING WHAT IS HERS???
It has to be Helena. Who else would Bette belong to? PPS
oh nice ending. I think it’s Helena because in this story Tina is not the ‘one’. I love it. I was really getting in to ITAV….but this one just heated up so carry on. I’ll take what you give. thanks for sharing your talent with us.
I kinda feel sorry for Tina being used like that and throw away like nothing. It better be Tina claiming what is rightfully hers and not Helena.
It’s Helena right, please say it’s Helena…my girl is “claiming” what’s hers…you go girl…great update, but i can’t believe you did it again…damn, damn, damn….i know you’ll post soon, cause that’s what you do, but one small request, could you not leave us hanging like this…really good cliff hanger…Thanks!!
What can I say. I loved it! You my dear have out done yourself on this one. And I like many others fans of your writing can’t wait for more. All in all Bette did the right thing but now it’s time to see who’s claiming who or who’s to be claimed. Excellent update!
Hey Ash you better make sure that helena at the door or you will have one mad BeLener coming after you LOL.Good job girl
Very good! Hopefully Helena decided crying was getting her no where and decided to claim her love! But I mean… Bette realizing it was ‘mutual’ and ‘unwillingly’ walking away done by both of them..
that better be helena saying i’m here to claim what’s mine. i’m praying that’s helena. i want it to be helena! PPS!
Oh ash, this chapter was soooo awesome to read now that I just got back from my vacation. I loved the fact that Bette was finally honest with herself and told Tina the trth that she didnt want a child with her, and that she loved her,but was not IN love with her. cant wait to see what happens next.
Now that’s what I call a cliff-hanger. Don’t keep us in suspense for long!
I’ve never been able to grasp Bette and Helena together. Sorry. Love your writing though.
Should be Helena but how would she know where to find her. Is Tina so big to tell Helena they broke up and where she was? Hmmmm
