According To Her

Chapter 1

Arlene's POV
"What's My Line?" Has been the best show that I have ever been on, especially being around the Panel with Bennett Cerf, Steve Allen, and of course John Charles Daley. But most of all being with Dorothy Kilgallen, my God that girl is really something. Her and I get along very well, she's such a beautiful creature. She had beautiful brown eyes that you can stare at for hours, a beautiful personality, and the most adorable giggle you can ever hear, when I hear it it's music to my ears. And there's a little secret that nobody knows, not even Bennett, Fred or John. But Dorothy and I have been seeing each other for a couple of months, and what I mean by that is, her and I are together. I love her dearly, and she loves me. I'm so happy I have her even though, I know people are going to judge and hate when our fans and panel find out but we can't keep this a secret forever right?. I know people think I'm into men, but actually even though, I am into men but I'm also into women. I like both.

After the show, Arlene was on her way to Dorothy's dressing room which, was her dressing as well. Until she bumped into Bennett, she softly smiled at him. She loved Bennett as a person, he's a very kind loving person and adores Bennett as a friend. "Hello Arlene" Bennett greeted with a soft smile, "hello Bennett" Arlene replied as she was heading to Dorothy's dressing room, "where are you going?" Bennett asked as he followed the woman, "to Miss Kilgallen's dressing Room" Arlene answered as she was walking towards the dressing room, "she forgot something" Arlene said to Bennett as he was confused for a second, "Arlene, you have been in Dorothy's dressing room for a couple of months now, what really are you guys up to?" Bennett asked with his arms crossed, he knew Arlene better, he knew when Arlene was hiding something.

Arlene knew she couldn't keep this secret anymore, she had to tell someone, and that someone is Bennett. "Bennett, you might as well know" Arlene spoke as she heard her heart beating out of her chest, she looked at Bennett in the eyes and took a deep breath. "Bennett, Dorothy and I have been seeing each other" Arlene spilled the cat out of the bag, "seeing each other?" Bennett questioned Arlene with confusion, "well what I mean by that is, Dorothy and I are in love with each other" Arlene explained it better to Bennett. As Bennett put the pieces together, his eyes widen. He was shocked by the news but tried not to show it. He loved Arlene no matter what, and will always be his friend. "Well Arlene" Bennett spoke as he rubbed his forehead. "Bennett? Are you okay?" Arlene asked concerned.

Bennett looked at Arlene with disbelief at first and then smiled at her "Arlene, I love you no matter what, I'm glad that you and Dorothy are together, that's special" Bennett replied as he smiled at Arlene. Arlene was relieved that Bennett was fine with her and Dorothy's relationship. "Thank you very much Bennett" Arlene said as she kissed Bennett's cheek as a thank you, Bennett smiled "your welcome Arlene, I might as well go, I don't want you to keep Dorothy waiting" Bennett replied with his same old sense of humor that he's always had.

As Bennett left, Arlene went to her and Dorothy's dressing room, opened the door and saw her beautiful partner as she was doing her make up. Arlene smiled and went up to Dorothy, she kissed Dorothy's shoulder, Dorothy smiled at Arlene. "Hello Francis" Dorothy greeted Arlene by her nickname and greeted Arlene with a kiss on her lips, "Hello My dear girl" Arlene greeted back as she kissed Dorothy again, God she missed Dorothy's lips. "I missed you today" Arlene said as clung to Dorothy, "darling I was on the Panel" Dorothy laughed, snuggling into Arlene's embrace, "I know but you know what I mean" Arlene said as she kissed Dorothy again and again.

Dorothy's POV
Francis (Arlene) and I went back to my home, my husband, who I am now divorced to, has my children for the weekend. My oldest son is Richard Jr, my lovely daughter Jill, and my youngest son Kerry. I love my children very much, they don't know about Arlene and I's relationship. But I'm going to tell them soon just I can't right now. Arlene and I were in bed, Arlene held me close to her and I snuggled my head against her chest. I love her so much, and she's very supportive of me and my children, even though, again they don't know about Arlene and I's relationship but My children know who Arlene is.

"Dorothy" Arlene spoke as she held Dorothy close to her, "yes Francis" Dorothy replied as she looked up at Arlene's dark brown eyes. "Dorothy, I told Bennett about us" Arlene said. "Francis? Did he take it well?" Dorothy questioned her partner with much concerned. "Yes he took it very well actually, I'm still very surprised that he did" Arlene replied as she looked up at the ceiling and hugging Dorothy close, "well that's good" Dorothy said as she pecked Arlene's cheek. "I love you Dorothy you know that?" Arlene said as she was peppered kisses to Dorothy face which, made Dorothy giggle "Francis darling, knock it off please" Dorothy replied as she couldn't stop giggling from Arlene's kisses. "You are so adorable" Arlene murmurs in Dorothy's neck as she gives more kisses on to Dorothy's neck, "no you are" Dorothy replied to her as she pecks Arlene's lips.

Dorothy and Arlene looked through each other's eyes half the night. Kisses, tickling, cuddling, spooning and just loving each other in general. Dorothy was a sensitive woman, she loved being protected and held into someone's arms. And that was Arlene's arms, she loved Arlene so much, she never wanted to let her go. Dorothy was an very smart and independent woman but she hates being shy and being all cutesy all the time, she always felt she needed to change for people to like her. But when she's with Arlene, she doesn't have to change for anyone, not even her and she loves that. Arlene was fast asleep but Dorothy was still wide awake. Thoughts running through her head like Fast Cars going through the finish line, Dorothy had a lot of insecurities that Arlene doesn't even know about. But the most insecurity she has is her bubbly personality, her cuteness, and her innocents, she just wanted to get rid of all of it.

Dorothy needed rest, so she closed her eyes and snuggled with the woman beside her in her bed. Dorothy snuggled into Arlene embrace, before Dorothy was nearly asleep, she heard a soft voice. "Go to sleep, my dear girl" Arlene softly spoke in her sleep as she held Dorothy closer to her, "you have nothing to worry about, you are beautiful no matter what" Arlene said as she kissed Dorothy's sweet head. Dorothy smiled but shocked at the same time, how did Arlene know what she was thinking?. "I guess she knows me when I worry" Dorothy thought in her head as she falls asleep in Arlene's arms.
