Drowse - First Season - Finished

Chapter 12 - Envy of Alicia / You must choose, Helena / June-July 1972.

POV Helena.

June 1972.

Time has passed quickly. After Bri and Rog kissed me, I told them both that I was very confused, that I need to think, therefore, I am not in love with them. I do not want to fool them. Actually, I'm attracted to Bri and Rog, but, I do not know who to choose. It's a very difficult decision.

Our friends already knew Bri and Rog were interested in me. Shit. I do not know how the relationship between Bri and Rog is. They say it's normal, but, I do not believe it. I've gone out with our friends before, and I noticed a certain distance between Bri and Rog. This will not be so. I will not stand it. I'm thinking of what to do. I do not want them both upset with each other, because of me. That would be unfair ...

On the eighteenth of June, on Sunday at nine in the morning, Rog and I went to Liverpool. Rog drove the Mini Cooper on the freeway and hurriedly sang the songs they played on the radio. I smiled at him. Rog is so beautiful, my friend has an angel face. I believe he is an angel who fell from the sky. Her beauty is divine. I believe he passed the line of beauty in the sky more than a million times, before coming to earth. Rog looked at me and smiled and stroked my hand and kissed her.

"I'm sure you'll be at least among the three finalists today, I hope you'll win this contest more," he smiled at me.

"Thank you for the support, my angel." I smiled at him. "If I get in at three o'clock it'll be amazing, I'll make some good money, and what interests me the most is the Miss contest at the University of London, the most beautiful student of all campuses, next month."

"You'll do very well in both contests." He smiled at me and kissed my hand again.

We arrived around noon in Liverpool and went to lunch at a restaurant. I ate rice, green salad and grilled fish. Roger ate lasagna. After lunch, we went to the Cavern Club, pub, where The Beatles started the career. Rog and I bought some FAB Four souvenirs, quickly visited The Cavern Club and took photos. I bought the band dolls. Rog and I headed for the car and got into the vehicle.

"Only for yourself to buy The Beatles dolls," Rog said, smiling, starting the car and heading for University.

"The Beatles figures are lovely, Rog," he said, smiling, putting the little figures in the back seat of the car. - In the future, who will have these Lego-style dolls will be the Queen band. Can you imagine a little Freddie, Bri, John, and yours? It will be too cute.

Rog smiled at me.

"Will the boys and I have those little dolls too?" Roger said thoughtfully.

"Of course they will and I'll have your little ones," he said, smiling and stroking Rog's arm as he stared at him. "I really wish the band succeeds. You fight so hard, you deserve so much. You have an indisputable talent. I will always be with you, Rog, always. Count on me for everything, anything. Friends are for this and the boys and you are my second family. I love you.

"Just as I support you, in your paintings, in your beauty parades, I really want you to always support the boys and I with the band, we need a lot of encouragement and support," Rog smiled. "And your support is indispensable to us." I love you too, the boys love you.

I smile back at him and half an hour later we arrive at Liverpool University. We got out of the vehicle and headed for the university entrance. I was taken to the candidates' place. Rog stood in the auditorium, waiting for the parade to begin.

The parade began at five in the afternoon and lasted until seven at night. I was third in the contest and I was happy. I won fifty pounds for being third. That's very good money. After the parade, Rog and I went to a diner in Liverpool and ate hamburgers and fries. We laughed and talked about the parade.
