Now things were better, they were building a friendship that seemed true; they shared more things in common they both knew. Helena was lost into her own thoughts when the phone rang, she woke up from her daydream, looked the id and saw it was Bette calling.

            Hi Bette, how are you feeling?

            Not bad, I just called you to ask you to let the car right where it is at least for a few hours more.

            There’s no problem Bette, feel free to do it. I just hope everything is ok said Helena, worried about why Bette was not going for her car.

            Everything is better than ok. Tina called me few minutes ago to ask me if I can take care of Angelica, my baby girl is going to stay all the weekend here with her mama. Hellry’s Henry’s father is ill and they are going to travel to New York in a few hours. Bette felt bad for calling Henry Hellry… at last she was having sex with her daughters mother.

            Hahahaha, Alice didn’t knew how successful was going to be the nickname she gave him… said Helena trying to make Bette feeling less uncomfortable. Bette, if you want, as you may end the weekend needing the car I can drive to you house with it and leave it at the door.

            Bette liked the idea, or at least she liked the part of Helena driving to her car, but no the idea of Helena leaving without say hello.

            Thanks, but I don’t think it would be a good idea you driving and here and then leaving so I you what… Bette didn’t have any idea about what was the better way to ask Helena to stay.

            Don’t worry Bette, it’s ok. I can understand you want to spend the weekend alone with your child. Leave your car here until Monday or take a cab and drive yourself home, or Bette felt Helena feeling out of place and didn’t allow her to continue the sentence. 

            I want you to stay Helena. Both women remain in silence the sentence was so full of meanings,… What I want is,… ahm… Helena I… Helena, would you like to spend the evening with us? You can drive here and we’ll invite you for dinner,… If it’s ok.

            Helena was really surprised, nicely surprised. Helena had no words, she didn’t understood why Bette was asking her to stay. She thought it would be better to decline the invitation, first because she knew Bette needed her own space and her own time to spend her daughter, and second because she was not sure about Tina’s reaction if she discovered the new friendship she was building with Helena. Thanks Bette. I’ll be there. I’m dying to see Angelica, she would have grown up a lot. Helena was astonished, her mind though no and her lips pronounced a yes!…

            Ok, then, see you later,… I have to leave, Tina’s at the door. Bye. Said Bette, Angelica and Tina were waiting at the door, Bette was dying to have her baby in her arms.

            Bye then.

 

            Both were surprised for the invitation. After their last conversation it seemed that between Bette and Helena was developing something more than just simple friendship.
