Alice looked at the other guys before she shrugged and said resignedly, "Okay. You asked for it."
———————————————————————————–
Helena ducked into the bathroom inside the art college to check her makeup with a dramatic sigh at the Yankee weather. The trek from the other side of the campus had proven more time consuming than she had planned and by God if it wasn’t ninety degrees out.
Sometimes the California heat was too much for the Brit. What she wouldn’t give for a foggy London night. Catching her train of thought, the brunette gave an incredulous laugh and asked her reflection, "Did I just say that?"
Her reflection did not answer.
She coolly surveyed her appearance for a moment; resplendent white collar folded over a light blue corded sweater with sleeves rolled up to the elbow; pearls barely visible at the hollow of her neck. Her long hair was pulled back loosely into a messy, windswept bun.
Giving herself a satisfied smile, Helena decided that she looked relatively attractive in a weekend-in- Hyannisport sort of way. The Kennedys would be proud.
She left the bathroom and took two flights of stairs until she reached a door at the end of a long hallway. The woodgrain surface was flaking away toward the frame and a strip of masking tape in the center of the door declared it to be the domain of one B. Potter.
Smirking lightly at the gaffe, Helena began to chuckle. She was amused that she hadn’t noticed it last time she was at Bette’s office. And even more surprised that the always precise Bette hadn’t corrected the mistake.
Still, Helena thought smugly, she had been somewhat preoccupied the last time she had been here.
She raised her hand to knock and after a short silence, the muffled voice of Bette called, "Yes? Come in."
Helena opened the door and poked her head inside of the small quarters. Just enough room for a desk and a threadbare couch and one lovely graduate student.
Helena arched her brows and asked, "Miss Potter, I presume?"
Bette rolled her eyes and dropped her head into her hands dramatically, saying wearily, "Alice."
Helena’s eyes betrayed her confusion as she said helpfully, "No, it’s Helena."

First Frip just take care of yourself and be safe with them hurricanes,,,,,,now I so missed your story, but was w/o my laptop cause it was with the TECH who can’t seem to still find what is wrong with it,,,LOL…anyway loved this story!!
This was yummy, lol…pps
Hey, Fripster!! Loved the chapter. Again I am struck by the detail you put in (the masking tape name on Bette’s door). You really have a talent for providing detail to set the environment without going into too much detail (if that make sense). Parent’s weekend is shaping up to be quite an event, eh? ;-D With Dana’s parents and also a possible Bette/Helena/Tina confrontation… As for 6 days: My heart is Danish. I love to see them fight through their problems and get back together stronger. If anyone can figure out a reasonable way to get the girls back together in 6 days (and 4 parts) I know you can do it. But I am with you for the journey no matter how it ends up. Thanks again for the wonderful stories!
Awesome, it’s good to know someone else knows what the hell I’m talking about when I mention EItS. Haha up here they’re pretty unknown, but I totally agree with the titles being poetry. I absolutely adore them, just like I adore this story as well as 6 Days. Glad to hear you’re okay! And please don’t feel pressured or like you need to explain your absence or anything. Like you, I was hooked on the World Cup and devastated when they lost so badly. I swear I want to punch that Marta in the face. And Solo should DEFINITELY have been keeper that game!! Gah. But anyway, yeah, I heart this and I heart you for writing it.
yay! hopefully no more hurricanes and no more absent dana. this was great. so glad youre back.
I thought I’d never see the day hahaha:D glad ur back frip! so everythings a-okay?where’s Dana though?bringsexyback in the next chap? hihihithanks again frip!;D
:)
Cross our fingers, this is it for the hurricane season. I hope fixing your roof is not a major repair. It can be such a drag. Glad to hear that you spent some time away from the keyboard to watch the women’s world cup. You really do not owe us any explanation for the lack of postage. I am simply happy to know that you are safe and I think I can speak for everyone that we love your stories so much that we don’t mind the wait. Your falling asleep with the soup reminded me of my 4 degree burn on the side of my leg with a heating pad. I remember waking up with a really bad hangover and a large blister on my leg. I hope you did not get hurt from the cup of soup. Seeing what you wrote to MaGoose, I think it could be either way. You have one sweet story going here. That will make up for “6 days” if A & D wouldn’t reunite in this 4 parts (chapters) story. There might not be enough time to work things out. Just my opinion. Back to this one, I felt kind of bad for A for worrying about the song. If someone write a song about me, I think I would be flattered and happy. But in D’s case, there would be repercussion. I could see how hard A was trying to protect D. Would this lead to a “D coming out” chapter? Now this is really getting interesting, T going to interview H. Wow, I can’t wait to see the triangle. Would it be B & T or T & H? I guess I just have to wait. Thanks fripster again for this fascinating story.
Great your back as love your story – but where’s Dana?
