‘I hope so, he’s crazy if he doesn’t hire her.  She’s so smart Alice, and she’s given up so much to move here with me.  I just want her to be happy in her career.’

They heard a knock on the door and Alexa walked in wearing a sexy grey tailored suit, her hair pulled back in a chignon, both Alice and Helena looked her up and down with appreciative glances at her business attire.  ‘Hey Alice,’ said Alexa and kissed her cheek as she stepped up to greet her.  ‘How’s my girl?’ she asked, still loving the way that rolled off her tongue.

She leaned downed to quickly kiss Helena, who chased her lips as she pulled away to linger a little longer.  ‘How did it go?’ Helena asked.

‘Well I was so nervous at the start but then we got talking and I relaxed and the work there sounded so fascinating and at the end I thought he’d arrange to call me or whatever but he just offered me a position on the team.’

‘Oh my god that is so great!’ said Helena and held her arms out to hug her girlfriend.  ‘I knew you could do it darling, when do you start?’

‘Well that’s the best thing.  I start in six weeks so I still get to be around all the time and take care of you.’

‘Huh? I don’t need taking care of.  I feel so much better, I was just telling Alice that wasn’t I?’

Alice rolled her eyes.  ‘She wants to skip out of here today.’

‘Will you settle for rolling out of here?’

‘What?’ asked Helena.

Alexa slipped out of the door and rolled in a wheel chair.  ‘I’m going to take you for a roll around the gardens m’lady.’

Helena wanted desperately to get out but being pushed around in a wheel chair by Alexa would make her feel like an invalid.

‘Lex I can walk a little way now, I don’t want to go out in that.’

Alexa sat on Helena’s bed.  ‘Babe I know how great you’re doing and how frustrated you must feel but you have to take it slow ok?  It’s not like you’re in this thing for life it’s just a stroll around the grounds to get some air.’
