Alexa wasn’t sure how to respond. She knew the script, she would tell Helena that this was the nature of her career, that she was an independent woman and she refused to live off her money but her strength had gone out of that reply lately. Her career had been her raison d’etre in the past, her substitute for other passions which were now so much more in the forefront of her mind. It had represented her ticket to freedom, but here she was free and now it could become the shackles that bound her. Still Alexa wasn’t a quitter and she knew she needed to make her degree worthwhile, at least give it a very good trial period before even considering the thought of giving up medicine.
‘Helena I….’
‘Don’t Lex, you don’t need to say anything, I just want you to know that if there was ever a time when you didn’t want to give up work for a while or try something else then it doesn’t matter. We have the money.’
‘You have the money Helena,’ Alexa reminded her.
Helena shook her head. Alexa had been living here for two months now and she’d rapidly become more than her friend and lover. She was so much more than her other girlfriends, everything about them felt permanent, they were a family, partners.
‘Lex things have changed don’t you think? You’re not just my girlfriend anymore, we’re living together. We share our whole lives, that should include some money. In fact I actually want you to have this.’
Helena reached into the drawer unsure how this was going to go down with Alexa. Alexa did allow her to pay for everything when they went out together but kept promising when she started work everything would be on her. Helena was irritated by it. She admired her will to contribute but felt that money simply wasn’t an issue that Alexa needed to be concerned with in this relationship.
She handed the card to Alexa and Alexa took a look at the platinum card with her name printed in her hand. ‘A credit card?’
‘Yes, I don’t want you to feel like you have to ask me for money, this way you can just get what you want whenever.’

A wedding is coming soon too ummmm fantastic. I love the fact that Bette came to apologise. she shown again how big she is. Please fantasyworld, don’t stay way too long. PPVS
Great update. I’m enjoying so much this story! And Alice is so funny. Is great that Alice and Alexa are good friends now.
ah, who is Emma on the previous page? Is this Alice’s girl? I’m happy for Helena and Alexa. Nice story.
Good spot Rau= typing error I meant Tina not Rachel, have now been back and changed it
uh how does Rachel get into the first page sounding like she and Bette had it off? I’m confused sometimes. Last time u had a Chloe???? Thx for the ages and now I’ll go back to read.
Emma is the sort of error that creeps into the story when I write a chapter late at night after enjoying a few glasses of mine with my friend Emma and she has now been corrected to Alice…x
Gosh these women are so connected deeper than friends or accquaintances instead theyre like one big family, who enjoy each others company. Great update I think this is my fave chap so far…but hey theres many more to come right? Their relationship is a like the most beautiful diamond when the sunlight hits it…a rare moment and it forever. Alice always cracks me up with her humour so you have done a great job at portraying her I might add. Keep it up…PPVS
