    Wanted (Chapter 17)

     

    Bette retrieved her overnight bag from the bedroom and was soon on her way to Helena’s.

     

    *************

     

    Helena opened the door to greet Bette for the evening. She was still dressed in her robe.

     

    "You look incredible," Helena said after they exchanged a quick kiss. "I just have to put on my dress and I’m ready to go."

     

    "You could leave the dress off and we could stay in?" Bette was only half joking with her suggestion.

     

    Helena ran her arms up around Bette’s neck and they met for a longer, more intense kiss.

     

    "It wouldn’t take much convincing to get me to buy into that idea," Helena said. "But I did make reservations"

     

    They stood together, both debating the relative merits of the choices for the evening.

     

    "I am hungry," Bette admitted. "I had an early lunch this morning and when you suggested dinner, I didn’t have anything for the rest of the day."

     

    "It’s settled then," Helena said. "We’ll go out, have a lovely meal, some wine, and then we’ll come back here and have dessert." She broke into a wide smile and winked before she made her way to the bedroom. Bette sat on the couch awaiting her return.

     

    "Ready," Helena said. "I’ll drive, that way it’ll be a surprise as to where we’re going."

     

    "My God, you look amazing," Bette said as she stood and turned to see Helena walking into the living room. "Is it too late for me to change my mind?"

     

    "Yes it is," Helena chastised gently. "I want to take you out and show you off as my girlfriend. Permit me this one indulgence and I will cater to your every whim for the rest of the night." She leaned in to speak quietly. "And I do mean, all night."

     

    Bette’s mind raced to absorb the implications of what Helena had just said. For the first time in nine years, she found herself beginning a new relationship. And this time, it was with someone who had secretly desired her. Their first official date. Bette couldn’t help but wonder at where this might end up. She picked up her purse and let Helena open the front door for her as they embarked on their evening

    1. I, I dunno. I love to see Bette find her happiness. But I still feel like Bette and Tina was called the real family. Maybe because Tina is more domestic?

    2. Just a tinge of melancholy when Bette called Tina “T”. Now she wonders what went wrong! Too late. But it’s good to see Bette living again. Have fun, we’ll be here on your return.

    3. lovely chapter as always. now, correct me if i’m wrong, but do i detect some regret on tina’s part? i also sense a bette and tina reunion, which my head tells me is waaaayy off base but my intuition (or is it wishful thinking?) says otherwise. i think you’re totally setting us up for tina trying to reconcile with bette. can’t wait to find out either way, pal! talk you later

    4. You’re just an incredible writer. I, too, liked the connection to the convo on the beach w/Tina and Bette. Hmmm, someone who actually ties up loose ends and connects storylines. What a novelty. Enjoy your vacation. It’s these times that we remember and cherish.

    5. JKS..so enjoying this but the conversation between B & T started pulling my heart strings…they will always be a couple in my mind. : ) All though it is nice to see Bette happy again.

    6. JKS,I think that it is the completeness that you capture with your writing that makes it all so enjoyable, readable and believeable. You give all of the characters a mind, heart and soul which they then use. I am a diehard B&T fan however I can accept this story as there is a sense of regret from both Bette and Tina at losing their life together, particularly as they have both realized it was at their own doing. It is wondrous to see the softer and loving side of Helena too. You have made is possible to explain why Bette would have fallen so hard and so quickly for Helena. This new union is marvellous drawn as both these gals playfuly vie for Alpha status however it is fantastic to see how Bette react when she is on the receiving end rather than being the pleasure provider. You have demonstrated the romantic sides of Helena and Bette and shown the slow, sultry slide into sensual and sizzling sexiness. These gals now have to ave the confidence and belief in their new partnership to move forward into the Nirvana that they both so desperately desire. Thank you for creating this refuge from S3. And I do feel a sense that Tina, although moving forward, is beginning to appreciate what she so recklessly abandoned. Thank you so much and I hope that you accept my full and earnest gratitude for this magnificent melodrama. Your Loyal fan.

    7. I´m first!Yep, the wonders of different time zones and been a loyal fan.Even I don´t like Bette and Helena, this history is so well written that it´s become my “guilty pleasure”.I miss your “Happy and Sappy” histories of B&T but I understand that there´s no motivation for that right now, seeing the debacle of season 3. Keep up the good work, maybe this girls will enjoy some chilean wine :). A loyal fan always.

    8. OMG!! I was just thinking: I want a great fanfic cause I just saw episode 11 and I’m a bit sad… AND I clicked at Fanfiction and my favorite story is there :-D THANKS!! I really needed this!! Going to read it now!! BRB

    9. My last comment disappeared? So wonderful to see your story this Monday morning. Believe me I needed a Happy after last night. Somehow I missed your last post, so I had two stories to read. I sound like a broken record, but I love your writing. I love how you are handling this pairing. It is so nice to see Bette happy. Hope you have a wonderful vacation.

    10. “You’re dating Helena, I’m dating a man and Alice is dating a vampire,” Tina said incredulously. “Can life get any more bizarre?” – I’d sure prefer that kind of bizarre instead of the “bizareness” that is nowadays The L Word. Great writing as always, jks.

    11. As much as I’m happy for Bette and Helena for a new beginning, it also pains me to read that Tina had to watch Bette leaving on a date with Helena and when Tina said “It still makes my heart ache when you call me Tee,” and “Makes me wonder where it all went so wrong” even though Tina in this story does deserve it. It’s through your excellent writing that is bringing forth this dilemma in me. It’s still painful nonetheless. B & T both deserve to be happy and looks like B is well on her way while Tina is “still a ways from happy. B & T are both being very adult and civilized about the separation. Awkwardness is inevitable when they’ve both spent 9 years together and they’re still living under the same roof. I’m happy with the direction you’re taking though as long as you justkeepwriting. Thanks for posting, Swimmie and enjoy your little R&R at the resort with your other half.

    12. Due to your brilliant writing and a tv show that makes no sense, I’ve come to accept and enjoy Bette and Helena. This is another great chapter. Thanks for your recommendation of “A Thin Line” by Zheese. It provided a very well written background(which the L Word never provides) of Alice’s relationship with Helena and fine characterizations. I look forward to your next post.

    13. What a great read this story is! I don’t think Helena and Bette would last very long as a couple but they sure will enjoy very great times together! I’m glad Tina is miserable!

    14. thanks for pointing it out but i personally don’t think i can take another helebette story, or another tihenry story, especially knowing that really, not everybody is happy…well, that’s what i get for being addicted to a couple that doesn’t exist anymore but only in my heart

    15. Okay well I have now read this five times (as usual)and it’s wonderful (as usual) and a little melancholy too. Have fun!Agree Zeese’s story is well worth a look!

    16. What a great and amazing chapter, but also soooo sad for B&T. I really love that Tina is handling this so mature and adult and Bette can still be Angie’s mother – wonderful :o)) I also love the way you got the scenes from S2 in your story, you’re an amazing writer….You have a great trip with your GF.

    17. and i say, where IS jks?i’ve just re-read this chapter and i gotta say, it makes me a little nervous..it seems like you’re leading to HeleBette unraveling and deciding this wasnt a good idea after all :( please let them get through this..H/B all the way
