‘Yes Alice, we heard’ drawled Bette before turning her attention to what Helena was saying

‘Don’t be so defeated by Tina’s decision to go back to men, Bette. Its not about you or anything you couldn’t do for her. It hurts but..’

 â€˜I know, but its just..’ Bette sighed ‘I really don’t understand, but I guess its not for me to understand. My old boyfriend certainly didn’t understand it when I told him it was Professor Regina Carly’s face I thought of while he fucked me’

Ohmigod pleeeease get it Helena! Alice couldn’t think of a way to tell Helena

Helena looked at her startled. Alice was waving frantically behind Bette’s back, but this was more important ‘Boyfriend? You’re not a gold star?’

Bette laughed at Helena’s expression ‘Nope, not a gold star. I’ve slept with men, and I used to like it too but now, the thought is just..revolting’

Alice was now almost jumping with frustration. Helenaaaaa come on!!!! Brunette! Artistic! Sexually changeable! AAAAARGH

Sensing the movement behind her, Bette turned around and caught Alice seemingly pulling her hair out ‘What’s wrong with you Alice? I know your hair’s not looking too good but its no reason to pull it out’

Trying to stop jumping mid-air, Alice stumbled but managed to say breathlessly ‘yes I’m pulling it out because I’m not a brunette’

Helena made a face at her friend. I swear, Alice is getting weirder every day..

Alice continued to look at Helena meaningfully, her eyebrows almost disappearing up into her hair ‘and I’m not artistic..’

‘Well, that’s true’ Bette snickered

‘Shut up Bette. I’m talking to Helena. Listen to me. I’m not  sexually chaaangeable’ She enunciated the word before saying ‘No wait, I am. I’m bisexual but whatever. Helena!’ she looked imploringly

Helena, however, was still looking puzzled at this bizarre behaviour from Alice. I can see that Alice is trying to tell me something but what? She quickly wiped her nose in case something was hanging, it was the only thing she could think of. God forbid. What if I’d been flirting with Bette like that?

Alice saw the turn Helena’s  thoughts had taken and screamed ‘Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh Helena what the fuuuck!!’ she stopped, panting, and said resignedly ‘To hell with it. Bette? Please tell Helena what colour your car is’

Bette, enjoying this display immensely, said ‘What, why? Its blue.’

Helena’s eyes widened.

Alice stared at Helena, waiting. I swear to you Helena, if you don’t get this by now, I’m gonna..

Bette turned to Helena What the hell is going on?

Helena continued to stare at Bette, and her heart raced…trying to tell her something

Bette noticed the changes in Helena, and felt her own pulse quicken. Whatever it is, it better be quick.. with the way Helena is looking at me…well, more of this and we’d be needing some privacy

Bette waited, suprisingly serene

Helena’s breath grew uneven

Alice sat, not so impatient now. So this is what it looks like

And there.

Helena’s heart staggered. It’s you…
