Just Helen (Gypsy Road) [The End]

"Hey Helen..." I called over at the woman still toying with the fireplace poker.

"Yah?"

"I need to sleep, and you're the only gal here I can trust to keep her hands to herself tonight."

A general laugh sounded through the room as I staggered to my feet, and pulled at the corner of my eye. I realized that at some point I must have actually dozed off for a moment or two.

"I thought that about you too.' Helen flipped the poker onto its stand with a clatter.

"Hey, Kaila's not coming... "

"No I meant... oh wow, you are tired... c'mon bud... we gotta get you into a rack." Helen slapped her hand along my back and guided me towards the door.

"Well where are we going..." Began the voice of Maria from behind us as Helen guided me towards the door. She practically shoved me towards the bed while leaning out of the door frame and pointing towards her bag which lay in the corner.

"You gals can grab our bags. Should be enough for everybody." She called before pointing at her girlfriend with a solitary finger. "See you in the... oh hell with it, just don't take off without telling me again, ok?"

Charlotte's acknowledgement in return was nearly inaudible to me, as I had already collapsed on the bed, still clothed. I kicked off my shoes as Helen snapped off the light and sat heavily on the other side of the bed.

"Don't tell me I need to take your clothes off. Because I remember the last few times you and I got into this bed." Helen joked, and I heard the sound of what sounded like her shorts hitting the floor.

"I'll claim nothing happened if you want me to." I offered while yanking the last of the sandy socks off. It was an easy matter to get the last of sand off with one of the socks. When I finally managed to get everything off, I fount that Helen had already taken up most of the available covers, and I yanked a bit of it back and turned to my left to get what coverage I could.

"Ugh... you are such a blanket thief." Helen grumbled, and I felt the feel of her breasts against my back as she tugged on a bit of the cloth.

"Well, if you're cold..." I suggested turning so that she could easily snuggle into my arm. She did so eagerly, and her warm hand on my shoulder as she planted a soft kiss on the opposite was comforting.

"Just stay on our side." Helen mumbled against my chest, before adjusting the blankets again, resulting in my foot coming free.

"Huh?" I asked.

"Nothing..." She smiled again. "Just thinking, Brent... what happens tomorrow?"

"With us?"

"Yeah. With us."

"I think I drive you two home? Maybe drop Nikki off wherever she's going. I think Maria's got her own ride home."

"That's not what I meant and you know it." Helen objected to my casual dismissal of the question, and punctuated it with a playful nip at my skin with her teeth..

"OW... ok... I don't know. What do you want to happen?"

"I asked you first."

"Ok... I love you, Helen. I like your wife... girlfriend, whatever."

"That's kinda how we describe it."

"Huh?"

"Whatever suits the moment. I love her. And I love you, and I like your wife... or wife's sister. I don't know which one of them I really like, or if I actually really like either of em. But If I threw everybody out in my life who made some dumb mistakes... well, I wouldn't be with Charlotte, now, would I?"

"So..."

"So... I wasn't sure I wanted... more than this. More than just this trip. But somehow, I do."

"And you're not mad about Nikki and Maria?"

"Depends."

"On?"

"If you're going to try to get them into a tiny apartment. Kaila told us what you live in."
