Bette had heard enough and was about to tear into him when Helena beat her to the punch. “Listen here you arrogant fuck. You don’t know nothing about what a woman want or need. Because if you did you wouldn’t have time to spew such stupidity. Maybe that work on the women you’ve fuck, but then again maybe you haven’t met the right one. Because Robert I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Most women who are lesbian has nothing to do with some man. You said earlier why bother when you can have the real thing, you’re quite right. But just like you I know what I like. Would you like for me to tell you what I love about a woman. Yes Robert I said love.” as Helena stepped into his personal space, she could hear an audible gulp. “I’ll take that as a yes.” she then began to look him up and down before making eye contact with him. Which in turn made him somewhat nervous. “I love the way her body moves when she’s walks. I love the feel of her skin, so smooth and soft. I love the passion of her laughter and the power of her anger. I love the way she thinks, and yes Robert we do think. I love the way she smells when she’s aroused, can you smell her Robert? Can you feel the way her body trembles and convulse when I taste her again and again? And when the flow erupts from her body, and it will erupt. I’ll be there to drink as she screams my name Robert not yours or any other man. So Robert if that isn’t the real thing then I don’t know what is.” then she stepped back pleased with the look on his face.

“Elizabeth…Hel… Helena” as swallowed hard. “it’s been a real pleasure but I ah, I need to make a phone call, ladies.” walking quickly out the parlor doors.

Turning around she looked at Bette. “I’m Sorry Bette but I didn’t promise to behave and that.” Bette placed her finger across her lips.

“Don’t”

“But”

“Don’t” as she kissed her gently on the lips. “Let’s go” taking her hand they both started to walk toward the door.

“What about Phyllis?”

“What about her? Listen Helena I want to be with you and I would like to think that you feel the same way. I want to go by Kit’s and tell our friends about us. I want to date you, Helena. Dance with you. Hold your hand for all to know this is real. Hell I can’t even wait to have our first fight and have great make up sex. But most of all I can’t wait to be an actual couple.”

“Then let us proceed. But you do know Alice will jump all over us.”

“Yes she will, but I know she will also be happy for us. As well as all our friends.”

“And Tina?

“I guess we are going to find out. But I have no intention of backing down. Are you with me?”

“You know I am.”

“Then let’s do this.”

The ride to the Planet was done in silence. Both wondered what their friends would say or do. But never doubting that they would be supported by them. There would be of course sore feelings and many question would be ask. Namely by Alice but all in all their future look bright. As they walked through the doors they approached the table where their friends were seated. Alice was the first to see them and waved them over.

“Look who’s here two of my favorite brunettes.” Alice said in a some what tipsy voice as they sat down.

Kit notice the serious look on Bette face. “Hey baby sis what’s wrong?

“Well we have some news to tell you guys and we ask that you don’t interrupt until we are finish. Especially you Alice.”

“Bette you hurt me. I can be quiet. I know how to shout up. It’s not like..”

“Alice” was said in unison by all at the table.

“Okay, okay, gee.”

“Well it’s about myself and Helena.”
