“That’s the next morning, grandma.” Alice said. “Yeah, but I still want to be home at 2AM.”

“I understand.” Helena said. They looked at each other and smiled.    

They all resumed eating, talking about work and kids.

11PM – ‘Hit’

Tina and Brenda were already bumping and grinding on the dance floor when Bette entered. Alice and Shane were making their way over to them while Helena sat at a table sipping a beer, looking around. She walked over and smiled at the raven-haired beauty.

“Hi, Helena, why are you sitting on your own?” Bette said while sitting down next to her. “I’m not anymore.” She smiled. Bette looked around and leaned closer to Helena. “I missed you today.” She whispered. Helena grinned and whispered back. “I missed you to, babe.”

For about four months, Helena and Bette had been dating. They didn’t want to tell anyone because they didn’t want The Gang to be all over their business. Bette was the first one to tell Helena about her feelings. When she and Tina divorced, Bette was crushed and Helena had helped her to get back on track. They had become very close and Bette began having feelings for the Brit. Helena had feelings of her own for Bette. When the curly haired brunette told her she wanted to date her, she almost screamed of happiness. They knew that this could get complicated. They were both an ex of Tina, they were ex-enemies and they both had young kids but still they wanted to be together. They hadn’t gone further than kissing because there was always something interrupting: Alice, one of the kids, the telephone, the doorbell… It was quite frustrating.

“You wanna dance?” Helena asked. Bette smiled. “I would love to.”

Helena took Bette’s hand and led her to the dance floor, just then a slow song started. Bette laid her arms around her girlfriend’s waist while Helena laid her arms around Bette’s neck. They held a safe distant because there were people who could see them.

“This one of the things I hate about our friends not knowing.” Helena said. “Me to.” Bette answered and then brought her lips to Helena’s ear. “I would love to kiss you right now…” She whispered. Helena bit her lip to prevent a moan spilling out of her mouth. Bette grinned. She loved the effect she had on Helena.

A few meters away were Tina and Breda dancing. Brenda took a deep breath and then asked: “Tina, would you want to move in with me?” Tina’s eyes flew wide open. “Uh, I don’t know… I…” She stuttered. Brenda smiled a little smile. “You don’t have to answer right away.” Tina closed her eyes and opened them again, and then she smiled. “You know what? I would love to move in with you.” She said and kissed the other blonde.

The song ended and a faster one stared. Bette and Helena walked of the dance floor to their friends while Tina and Brenda kept making out.

“Hey, you two! Why were you guys dancing?” Alice asked. “Because we wanted to.” Helena replayed. Shane smiled before sipping her beer. She knew Helena and Bette had something going on…
