Bette was, if possible, more surprised than Helena was. At first being in a date with Helena was not her idea, she just wanted to thank Helena for everything she had made for her and even for Alice during the last months; but once the question made… it didn’t seem a bad idea.

I know perfectly well who you are Helena. As Tina surely told you, you are the bitch, the dragon, the vampire,… I didn’t wanted to ask you a date I have to admit it, but once the idea is in the middle of us, why not? We’re adults, we’re single and we’re having fun spending time together. For me I choose a date, now however, the decision is yours. Do you want to go out on a date with me?

I… That was a difficult choice. Helena wanted the date but what would happened if things were wrong between them? Bette, I want something clear, we are friends, after a very long, long road we’ve become friends, you know how hard it had been for both of us to reach this point of friendship. You know pretty well how hard the learning process has been and I dont want to risk it. Helena saw the deception in Bette’s eyes If we, both, if we both promise to keep the friendship over all I choose the date but we have to be sincere with our friendship,ok? If we see any risk, we stop the date, this date of future ones, do you agree?

Sure, you are not the dragon anymore and I don’t see in you anything that reminds me of the woman once I met. You don’t have to worry about me not being able of distinguish between sex and friendship, I slept with Al and we are still friends, or something like that. Said Bette smiling, maybe Alice was the best example considering how complicated both were sometimes.

Bette, said Helena smiling I would love to going out on a date with you.
