Bette smiled I’m glad we share the same thoughts about this…

Now, what was all that stuff about you and me having sex Bette? Asked Helena making Bette laugh.

It was nothing, it’s better having sex than talking about it… and I have the feeling than in not much time you’ll have “the look”. Bette didn’t believe in “the look” Alice always talked about, but it was time to start the seduction…

After breaking the ice about the fears they had, the night went in such an easy way that seemed they had been dating long before. They chatted about their kids, about the opera, about painting,… Helena even told Bette some of her teenage secrets at a private boarding school. Bette enjoyed each word that parted from Helena’s lips not being able of imagining Helena as a “rebel posh” as she described herself. In correspondence Bette explained a few things to Helena about her parents and about Kit. She even told Helena some pranks she had done to Kit when she was a kid and a teenager.

While Bette and Helena shared the night and the fabulous meals prepared by Bette’s ex-lover Ana she spent some time observing them from the kitchen. Ana and Bette had lost contact but when times were hard both were there. When Ana’s wife died Bette went to New York as fast as she could, when Melvin died Ana was in a second place trying to gave Bette the support she needed. The had been the other’s rock for a long time maybe because both shared the same problems at expressing their feelings. Ana was building a new relation with a woman that seemed to be perfect for her and Bette was sitting a few steps in front of her smiling as she hadn’t done to any woman in years. She had no idea about what Bette meant when told her about their “complicated past” she didn’t knew that Bette and Helena shared Tina, and that Tina left one another for the other, she had no idea about how much they had hated each other, or how much they had wanted to hurt the other… what Ana knew was that the sexy British had been on Bette’s side when she thought about kidnapping her daughter, she had supported her when Bette was dealing whith Tina leaving her for a man, she had been there when Tina tried to keep Angelica appart from Bette,…What Ana knew was that Bette seemed relax and happy for the first time in years and she hoped that the feeling would last long enough as to make her friend happy. She only wished that Bette could find the love the same as she had done after her wife’s death.

Helena and Bette finished the dinner and though the blonde said that it was on the house Bette paid for the dinner saying that it was impossible to leave without paying and then saying that it was an official date. Helena was happy leaving the decisions to Bette, she liked the feeling of being seduced, of being desired, and allowed Bette to play the game as much as she wanted to. They said their goodbyes to Ana not without promising that they’ll come back in a close future. The car drove them to Helena’s place and once parked they took their time seating there enjoying the silence till Helena broke it off Do you want to come in? It was more an assertion than a question and Bette smiled. She was dying to come in,… but she wasn’t sure about if they were ready to cross that line. Bette, do you want to come in…
