Alexa giggled and eased back partially out of the embrace, lingering on Helena’s ocean eyes as usual.  ‘You’re always going to wonder how good it could have been,’ said Helena’s voice in the back of her mind and she pressed Helena’s lips into the sweetest and gentlest of kisses. 

Helena was stunned and then disappointed as Alexa pulled away quickly to gauge her reaction.  ‘What was that for?’ she asked shakily.

‘Following your advice, taking a chance,’ she said and started to pull away, feeling foolish already.

Helena stopped her, clasping her waist and forcing Alexa’s body to align with hers.  She reached out a hand to tuck a stray piece of hair behind Alexa’s ear and let it linger on her cheek.  She leant down to softly kiss her lips.  When Helena felt Alexa’s mouth open in response to hers their passion for each other became electric, Alexa wrapped her arms around Helena’s neck and Helena pressed Alexa in closer with a hand on her ass and the other laced in her hair.

Helena let her tongue dance into Alexa’s mouth and they both moaned, tongues engaging in a fiery dual that swept straight to Alexa’s core.  Helena felt the fire in Alexa’s kiss and it drew her in.  Somehow she knew they would be dynamite in bed together.  Alexa tasted like cotton candy and spice all rolled into one and Helena backed her up against the door and grinding their hips together, never letting up the assault on her lips.  As if on cue, Alexa’s phone interrupted the moment.

 ‘Shit’ said Alexa recognising her phone and feeling Helena move back from her, she unflipped her phone and mouthed sorry at Helena who stood, still trying to catch her breath.

‘Hey’ said Alexa. 

‘Ten minutes?  Can we make it fifteen.’

‘Yes I’ll be there, see ya, bye.’

‘Work friend,’ she explained.  ‘I wish I didn’t have to go,’ she added and approached Helena tentatively, standing between her legs.  Helena took her hands and encouraged her to sit down on her lap.  ‘I don’t want to hurt you Alexa,’ she told her honestly.  ‘Maybe we shouldn’t be doing this.’

Alexa saw the regret in Helena’s eyes, she should have known it was too good to be true.  Helena didn’t want her.  She had only one thing left as the pain closed in around her heart, the one thing that always stood by her, her pride.
