When Bette called Helena a few days ago to see if she was still alive, Helena informed her she was returning to LA to visit. They hadn’t spoken in a month and Bette decided it was time to grab the bull by the horns and have a conversation. Initially, the downtrodden brunette politely refused Bette’s offer to meet her at the airport, citing afternoon traffic as the reason why she would take a limo home. After tiring of Bette’s relentless persistence, Helena finally granted permission for her roommate to pick her up. After ending the call, a bright smile appeared on Bette’s face as she reveled in her winning persuasive tactics.
Snapping back to the present, Bette reluctantly exited her car and strode over to the seated woman who was perusing the latest fashions.
“Hey.” Bette said softly while standing directly in front of the striking brunette.
“Well, Hello Bette.” Helena smiled in return.
“Have you been waiting long?”
“Not at all. Maybe 15 minutes tops.” Bette raised her eyebrows at this admission. Wow. I can’t believe she’s so calm.
“So” Helena paused. “You look absolutely fabulous.” Helena‘s eyes matched her smile as they traversed Bette’s body from head to toe. An audible sigh escaped her lips as she closed her magazine, sipped her coffee and stood up. “Shall we go?”
Bette knew the cheerful tone was a façade, however the smile was genuine. It was obvious that Helena was happy to see her. Bette on the other hand, remained apprehensive. She had never been good at concealing her feelings. Subsequently, her face displayed everything she feltin full color and massive detail. One look into those dark brown eyes screamed everything about the complicated woman to whom they belonged. This was one thing Tina completely adored about Bette. It didn’t matter if they were arguing or making love. All she had to do was look at Bette’s face to know what she was honestly feeling. Helena was just the opposite. She could be as stoic and unrevealing as the day was long, depending on her audience of course.
Bette finally responded. “Yeah, sure. Let’s go.” The two exchanged chaste kisses on the cheek while purposefully avoiding eye and body contact at all cost.

Ohhh soo sad, but so very true as well. You can’t have a more polar opposite than a powerful connection at the cost of a devestating seperation…the worst and best feelings in the world…pls post that next chp that is sitting in your computer…….PLLLSSSSeee xoxoxoxoxoxox
okay, if i got it right: Helena came to Bette’s life for reason (to help her after bette’s husband left) and now this reason is gone and so is Helena…i haven’t read part 2 yet, but i hope part 3: lifetime is about B&T being right for each other for a lifetime…after the way s3 is going, i really hope that fan fic will remain a happy land for B&T…thanks greenie, you made my evening, after coming home from boring work and seeing 2 chapters from you, knowing how busy you are…btw, guess what i’m drinking? ;)
This is the highlight of my week! You are making season 3 almost bearable for me.
Oh man, props to you again for an excellent chapter. As for my trip to San Fran., you better believe those Sea lions were driving me out of my ever-loving mind at the Pier. And that friggin smell! Strangely enough, all I could do was laugh and my friend was like, “Umm, the noise they’re making isn’t that funny.” Little did she know. Hollaback with part 3 when time allows, greentea.
This is sad, but let see B&T happy!
“Both Helena and Bette missed the friendship they once shared, but neither woman wanted to cause the other stress by trying to revive something they both knew was dying.”… “Lving without you…Is like living in a world of constant fear…Hear my plea (hear my plea)…I’ve got to make you see (gotta make you see)…That our love is dying (our love is dying)…”
Damn! For some strange reason my last comment wasn’t posted :( Well, you can imagine what I wrote: the story is GRRREAT, hot, sexy, interesting, fun, crazy, sensual… I absolutely love how you write. Just one plea: be nice to poor Helena!!! And keep posting! ;) A fan from the Old Continent
Greentea, great chapter as always. I feel how you do about season 3, pls don’t do to Tina what IC has, she has taken the character we all know and love to soemthing dark. At least in FF we can see them how we want/
Wow once again I am feeling sorry for Helena. A friend gave me a theory which as Season 3 goes on I have been giving more and more thought. The theory goes that for some reason Tina and Helena have switched bodies. The Tina you see before us in S3 is really Helena in Tina ‘s body and the Helena in S3 which we are all begining to like is in fact Tina in Helena’s body. It just makes so much sense. And you with today’s addition have added to that theory as I am feeling so sorry for Helena here. Great job.
Wow Greentea, not only one but two post in one night. This is truly an exciting day for me. The computer is recovering at a slow, yet steady pace. It may be intensive care for a week or two depending on how you go with the other two parts of this trilogy. Off to read second part.
is jury back on the third part? i’m jury # 13 and i vote for happy B&T
