Across town, Helena was on her way into her apartment building. It was a decent place to live, but it wasn’t what she was used to. She didn’t mind though. She’d rather live here than on the streets and she learned that her money wouldn’t get her everywhere. She had friends now—a family stronger than any other she had known—who loved her regardless of status.
Her cell phone began buzzing against her thigh. She jumped, in fear, “Christ! Bloody phone.” She retrieved it and answered, “Hello, Mother.”
“Helena, darling, I’ve been calling you all night. Are you not home?”
“I just walked in.” Helena locked the door behind her and tossed her bag on the couch.
“Where were you?”
“With a friend.”
“Well, certainly, it wasn’t Alice because I called her and she said she hadn’t spoken to you at all tonight.”
“No, I wasn’t with Alice.”
“Well…”
“Mother! I told you I was with a friend.”
“Is this a friend of the ‘I’ve-fucked-you-and-now-I-will-sue-you-for-all-you’re-worth’ variety?”
“Mummy, I said a friend, not a girlfriend or lover. She’s just a friend.” Hearing silence, Helena knew that her mother wanted to know who it was, “It was Bette.”
“Porter?”
“No, Mother, Bette Midler. Who else!?”
“Well, I’m just shocked is all. I thought she wasn’t exactly fond of you.”
“Mummy, that was three years ago…”
“You fucked her girlfriend, darling. Some things take forever to get over.”
“I’m not saying she’s over it, but I’m saying she and I have worked past some of the issues we have with one another because we have more in common than just Tina. We have children with women who can’t stand our guts. We have you.”
“Well, that’s just delightful. This is the best news I’ve received all day. Maybe Miss Porter can get you back on track.”
“Mother, is there anything in particular you wanted to talk about?” She wanted to change this subject. If she left it up to her mother, she and Bette would be married by the end of the week and they weren’t even dating yet.
“I just wanted to check on you, but Alice told me that everyone was coming to New York for New Year’s. How come you didn’t call me?”
“We just decided it today.”
“I’ve offered the use of my jet to get you and your friends here. Hope you don’t mind?”
Of course she minded, but she wasn’t going to stop her mother now, “It’s fine, Mother.”
“Okay. Well, have a good night, my darling child.”
“Goodnight, Mother.”
Helena hung up with her mother and sighed. She wasn’t sure how she was able to handle her as a child, but she must’ve been so used to it now that it only bothered her marginally. She was surprised she hadn’t ripped out her hair. She was happy though that her mother seemed to be happy that she had been hanging out with Bette all night.
Bette.
Just the thought of her made Helena giddy. She could smell Bette still on her clothes and skin. It made her not want to shower tonight so she could keep the scent on her as she slept.
Back at Spaulding Square, Bette settled in for the night. Unable to shake images of Helena from her thoughts, she never got a wink of sleep.

More. Please. Soon. I’m lovin’ this! Thanks, ash
Peggy has a way with words, doesn’t she? I wonder if she’ll do anything to encourage Bette and Helena to take their relationship to the next level.
ash this fic is balm to my soul after all the drama and pain of squirl’s fic, don’t ask me why I put myself through that!! I love this, and I was hoping that Bette and Helena would share a wee kiss..just one..they just need to take that first step!! Peggy, encourage!!!! MORE. please. SOON.
susannah you make me feel so terrible. I hate that you need balm for the “drama and pain” of my fic. Now back to this story, why would Bette not feel Helena would like her. they are holdign hands, practically cuddling. They already seem like a nice family unit. Angelica will be the match maker here. Kids are so honest.
Hey Ash! Happy to see a new post! The very thing to read before I go to bed. the whole secret part…heheh…really funny…and Peggy – naturally. Again: love the way you write!!! So I join zhee and susannah: MORE. PLEASE. SOON. ;)
squirl, I hope I didn’t offend you with the comment about the “drama and pain” but girl you know it’s true!! One mark of a good author is to evoke emotion and I think it’s safe to say there is alot of emotion over there!! So you are doing a good job. I also think that Angelica is going to be the matchmaker, and how cute is that. I wanted her to run and whisper in her mama’s ear that Lena wanted to be her girlfriend! If she can keep a secret, she is the first 4 year old I have ever heard of that can!
I have one word for this story, Excellent! Can’t wait for your update…PPS!
ASh this was cool, loved how helena gave Angie a secret saying she wanted to be Bettes GF,,,,
oh ash…so cool..Angelica is adorable, and yeah, can she really keep a secret..so is this P’s way of restoring H’s wealth…anyway, enjoying the slow and thoughtful progression of H and B’s relationship…PPS
No offense Susannah. I’m diggin’ on this feel good story too.
Hello Ash, that was so freakin sweet, the way you have Angelica is just so darling… children are just so special. Hehe… Pinky Swear… the way you have their scent follow both of them is just so real… so very animalistic… it is the most powerful of the senses… I just love this very much; this is so romantic and so very tender. You are absolutely Brilliant, Sincerely, JC (
Hey Ash this was so beautiful and sweet. I hope Boo runs to her mommie in the morning and tell Helena’s lil’ secret.
