‘You should try eating with Peggy Peabody checking you out to see if you’re suitable for her daughter.  Her first impression of me was that I looked like Helena’s father’s nineteen year old mistresses and things went down hill from there………’

Helena laughed and put a hand on Alexa’s shoulder.  ‘I told you before I think she loved you.  Remember the gala?’

‘I think maybe she’s hoping to torture me at the gala!’

Alice laughed and almost spilt her wine. ‘Stop trying to compete with me for the shittiest evening Alexa because I still win.’

‘No you don’t because we already talked it through and Dana is so going to be back and you two can spend all tomorrow making up but Peggy is still going to hate me.’

They all laughed, the wine having significantly lightened the mood of the evening.

‘What does it matter if she hates you? You’re dating Hel not her mother,’

‘Are you thinking of dating my mother Lexi?’ asked Helena playfully, looping an arm around her shoulders.

‘Nah, I think I’ll stick to the younger, sexier version right here,’ she said and let a hand play across Helena’s thigh.  Helena swooped down to kiss her, catching her off guard but Alexa returned it warmly, opening her mouth at the insistent feel of Helena’s tongue against her lips.

They both felt the hit of the cushion against their arms.  ‘Eww…hello broken hearted friend still in the room.’

‘Sorry,’ said Alexa guilty and slouched forwards to rest on her elbows, laying her legs out behind her.  Helena hungrily took a look at the swell of her breasts as her robe loosened.  She tore her eyes away and caught Alice doing the same who smirked and then winked at Helena guiltily.

‘You know what let’s call Dana!’ suggested Alexa.

‘No, we can’t let her know I care where she is.’

‘You’re right.  Helena you could call her.’

Two pairs of eager eyes focused on Helena.  ‘Oh no, I can’t get into this guys.’

‘Oh please Hel, you can just act all casual like hey Dana, how are you?’ suggested Alice.

‘Al, it’s midnight, how can I act all casual?’

‘You could pretend to be at a club,’ suggested Dana.

‘And why would I be calling her from a club?’

‘To invite her of course,’ chipped in Alexa.

‘What if she says yes, I’m not at a club.’

‘Details, details Helena, will you call her?’

‘No way, Alice you should just call her or wait until morning, this is ridiculous.’

‘Helena!’ pouted Alice.

‘Alice no!’ said Helena and threw a cushion at her.

‘Alexa make her do it,’ commanded Alice.

Helena looked amused by the suggestion and Alexa was tipsy from the red wine so she made her way over to Helena and sat across her lap.  ‘Please call her sweetie,’ she purred in Helena’s ear, licking a path across the tip.

‘Alexa!’ she said trying not to get turned on and failing.

‘What if after this when Alice leaves I let you…with that…like you suggested before we were interrupted……’

Helena pulled her tighter to her and whispered in her ear.  ‘Are you serious, you’ll try it if I just call Dana?’

‘Uh huh,’ nodded Alexa sultrily a thrill passing through her at the thought.

‘What are you guys talking about?’

‘Pass me the phone Alice, I’m calling Dana!’

Alice’s eyes grew wide as she handed Helena the phone, her little miss independent was finally whipped.

‘Dana hey,’ said Helena trying to sound casual.

‘Helena,’ said Dana.  ‘Have you seen Alice at all? We had a fight and she’s not home.’

‘She’s here,’ said Helena rolling her eyes.  ‘Want me to send her home?’

‘Yeah.’

Helena shut down the phone.  ‘She’s home idiot so I suggest you get back there and patch it up.’

‘She’s not with Lara,’

‘Nope she’s home now get out of here.’

‘I’m so gone,’ said Alice happily.  ‘But first what did you promise her?’ asked Alice to Alexa.

Alexa laughed.  ‘Get out Alice,’ said Helena.  ‘I love you but my girlfriend has a promise to fulfil.’
