“Helena, just make sure you stand your ground and tell her you are taking what belongs to you and when you get back we will unpack your stuff again.”

It eased Helena’s heart to have such a good friend care about her. The friends embraced one last time before Helena left with a smile. She was ready to confront Catherine.

Helena arrived at the planet and out of the corner of her eye she spotted her; Catherine, sitting at a table, with a smug look on her face. This battle was not going to be easy, Helena could tell.

            Cautiously, Helena approached her and sat down. Again, she was going to play actress and she smiled.

            “Hello, Catherine! What can I do for you?” Helena said, cheerfully.

            “Helena, I went to my safe and found my money was gone!” Before Catherine could continue, Helena interrupts.

“Don’t you mean our money? I am the one that played to win this money. This money is a much mine then yours,” She snarled.

“Really?!” The conversation was starting to get heated and Helena just wanted to remove herself. She stood up from the table and walked out, but she did not know she was being followed. Slam! Helena was stunned. Catherine had pinned her up against the wall outside The Planet.

Catherine leans up close to Helena and whispers into her ear, her lips dancing across her skin as she spoke.

“Helena, we are good together,” Catherine then stared at her intensely and stunned her again with a passionate kiss on the lips. At one point Helena seems to be getting off on it from the thrill of it all, but she wouldn’t fall for the same trick all over again. She pushed Catherine off of her.

            “Catherine, I want to make it on my own and to be honest with you, I don’t think I need you!” Helena said, boldly. Catherine just smirked and laughed under her breath.

“Admit it, you need me. But, do you want to make a little wager on this?” Catherine held a true love for gambling, but she only gambled when she felt she could win.

“You want to bet on this?” Helena asked in disbelief.

If you’re so sure that you don’t need me,” Catherine started to move in close to Helena again, but she moved away; not trusting again, “and you can win at poker on your own then why not bet me?”
