My mums best friend

The guest bedroom

After the funeral hellie had offered to drive me and my mum home and of course my mum accepted, she had definitely missed her best friend.
We pulled up in our driveway and my mum didn't hesitate to invite hellie inside. And all I could think about was how I was going to get through this without making my gay panic obvious.
I recited tips in my head because I'm weird like that okay...
Tip 1~ just breathe
Tip 2 ~ absolutely ignore you feelings
TIP 3~ Avoid eye contact
I knew for a fact these were going to go down the drain as soon as I looked in her direction.

By now we had made our way into the house and helena was sat cuddling my mum, I didn't want to disturb them so I made my way to the bathroom joined to my bedroom, I looked in the mirror and decided to take my makeup off and put comfier clothes on.
I was finally free from makeup and was deciding what clothes to wear, I was quite warm so I decided to throw a tank top and some booty shorts on and put my hair in a bun with some strands loose, I looked pretty cute actually. I made my way downstairs and could still hear little sniffles from the living room, I thought it was my mum but it turns out it was hellie and my mum had fallen asleep on her lap.
"Hellie, are you okay?"
"Oh sorry nellie I didn't see you there, everythings fine" she gave me a small smile but I wasn't assured.
"Okay would you like something to drink?" I gave her the options of tea, diet coke, water or wine, I was certain she would go for the diet coke because she loves it, it was a big part of my childhood because she would always let me drink it at her house. But she didn't
"I'll have some wine please doll, its been quite a stressful day"
I nod my head and offer my hand out for her to take, she removed my mum from her lap and came to the kitchen and sat at the table while I poured her and myself a glass of red wine.
"So hellie where are you staying tonight?"
"Oh I was just going to stay in a hotel until I find myself a place" she smiles at me, I couldn't let her stay in a hotel she's way too cute for that
"You can stay in our guest room my mum won't mind" i smile to reassure her that she should stay here, honestly I just missed her so much and I don't wanna loose her again.
"Oh no thank you nellie I don't want to be a bother"
"Hellie I wasn't asking, you are never a bother, I love having you around"
She smiled at me so lovingly and I couldn't help but look into her deep brown eyes they were filled to the brim with kindness, wisdom and compassion and I saw I slight twinkle and then I realised I'd been staring and averted my eyes
"I'll go ready the guest room for you"

I quickly made my was the the guest bedroom. It had been cleaned and dusted yesterday so the only thing I really needed to do was change the sheets and put a clean towel in the bathroom that was joined, I decide to put the rose pink silk sheets on because they were the most comfortable.

Hellies POV

Nellie had gone upstairs to get the guest room ready and I couldn't help but think what an amazing girl she had grown into. She's so beautiful and caring and I felt so guilty when I had to leave her all those years ago, I never truly forgave myself. I want to be there for her and for her mum thats why I'm moving back, i started to hear Melissa tossing and turning on the sofa so I helped guide her to her bedroom. I was very familiar with this house I barely left it, her bedroom was downstairs and the other 2 were upstairs. After I cuddled her back to sleep I made my way upstairs to the guest room and saw nellie just finishing making the bed
She hadn't seen me yet so I snuck up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist, this alcohol was definitely giving me some confidence.

Eleanor's POV

I felt arms wrap around my waist and it made me jump, I turned to see hellie
"Oh hey hellie you scared me" I giggled nervously because the butterfly's in my stomach were going wild. I fully turned around so I was facing her and pulled her into my body for a hug, I was a bit taller than her and I kissed her head, I don't know why I did it just felt right at the moment.
"Is something wrong hellie?" I was worried about her because I still hadn't forgotten that she was crying earlier
"No I'm fine, I just missed you" she looked up at me and smiled
"I missed you too" I inhaled deeply and and tried to embrace this moment for as long as I could. Soon after she pulled away,
"Okay ill leave you to get ready for bed now there are clean towels in the bathroom if you would like to shower"
"Thank you nellie for everything" I gave her a small smile and left the room to go tidy the kitchen.
I came to move the empty wine glasses when I realised that they were done, hellie probably did them.

I decided to sit on the couch and watch TV I was binge watching friends again and my eyes started to close as I was watching it. I decided it was time to go to bed. I knocked gently on hellies door and waited until I heard a soft "come in" 
"Hey I just wanted to say goodnight" I smiled brightly at her and and couldn't help but look at her she was sat the dressing table looking in the mirror and she just looked absolutely gorgeous
"Goodnight nellie, ill see you in the morning "
I closed the door behind me I trailed to my bedroom. I flopped on my bed and sighed.

How am I ever going to get over this woman when her gorgeous self is right next door.
