This story is my version of what happened after Nikki left Larkhall. She ran out and Helen wasn't there which understandably upset her, yet when Nikki sees Helen with a beautiful young lady from America, the green eyed monster really "comes out" so to speak.

Now, in this story I decided to use a US Character named Bonnie McKechnie from the US Soap Opera As The World Turns. Her father is Scottish Businessman Duncan McKechnie who was married to Bonnie's mother Jessica a Lawyer, who is also a distant cousin of Helen's, except that Nikki doesn't know any of this.

I don't own the rights to Shed, BG, or ATWT or it's production Company Procter & Gamble.

It was another Saturday Night and Nikki decided to go to Dinner before heading to Chix with her former partner Trisha although they still ran Chix the popular Lesbian Nightclub in London's Soho District.

Upon arriving at the Italian Restaurant, they saw how crowded it was but since they did make "Reservations" in advance, they didn't have to wait at all.

Once they arrived at their table, Nikki & Trisha had a drink which for Nikki was Red Wine while Trisha had Ginger Ale since they both agreed that she would drive.

They ate their dinner which consisted of Veal Parmesan while Nikki had Linguine & Clams with Tomato & Basil Sauce. As they were enjoying themselves, Nikki heard the sexy giggles of a familiar voice.

As she turned around, she stared dumbfounded. It was Helen Stewart, the reason for her freedom from Larkhall in the first place with whom she had a nearly three year off again/on again relationship. She was wearing a beautiful dark dress with her hair up and a just a wisp falling on her forehead.

Her makeup was beautifully made and she looked breathtaking, and at the table with her was a woman who looked to be in her late 20's, with dark hair and eyes and who was black.

This surprised Nikki not that she was prejudiced but knowing that Helen was seeing someone else was kind of "hard", so she got up and decided to say hello.

When Helen saw Nikki, she was dumbfounded and a bit embarassed as though she was "cheating" on Nikki although she wasn't but still had these "strange" feelings.

"Oh Nikki, hello." replied Helen.

"Hello yourself." replied Nikki with an amused look on her face.

"Are you enjoying yourself tonight with "Trisha." asked Helen.

"Yes, and you look like you're enjoying yourself too, whose your friend?" asked Nikki.

"Oh, Bonnie McKechnie, this is Nikki Wade, Nikki Wade this is Bonnie McKechnie." replied Helen.

"Pleased to meet you." smiled Bonnie as she streched out her well-manicured hand.

As Nikki shook it, she noticed how soft her hands were.

"So, Bonnie from your accent, I gather you're not European?" asked Nikki.

"Well, I wasn't born in Europe but I have strong "ties" to the country." she replied as she looked fondly at Helen. "I'm here for awhile, and I'm staying with Helen, isn't she sweet." smiled Bonnie broadly.

"Oh, well that's great, so you have a wonderful time, and nice to meet you once again." replied Nikki.

"Likewise." replied Bonnie.

As she left Bonnie looked at Helen dumbfounded.

"Well, what's with with the Diva Dyke attitude?" asked Bonnie.

"I have "ties" to Nikki that are alot more complicated than you realize." explained Helen softly.

"Why didn't you tell her I was family, are you ashamed of me or something?" asked Bonnie.

"No, no, no, and besides she doesn't care who I spend time with, it's over." replied Helen sadly.

"Over, you mean you were "involved" with her?" asked Bonnie dumbfounded.

"Yeah, and it's a very long story." replied Helen.

"Hmm, I can imagine." replied Bonnie. "I can tell how upset she was with me being with you."

"It doesn't matter now." replied Helen.

So after eating their dinner, they went to a all night cafe and had some delicious Cappucinos & Lattes and then went back to Helen's flat. They had some tea and Helen told Bonnie the whole story.

About meeting Nikki in Larkhall, the attraction, her resignation at Larkhall, the night they made love and so many other things, and then when Helen told Bonnie about how she had to leave after being blackmailed, that really surpised her.

"So you sacrificed your career to guarantee her freedom?" asked Bonnie.

"Yeah, you can say that." sighed Helen. "Nevertheless, it's over for me and her and it's better that way."

"That's what you think." thought Bonnie with a mischevious look in here eye.

So while Helen would go out on Job Interviews, Bonnie decided to get to know the City better, and since she was good with Directions, getting around was as simple as Apple Pie.

She eventually built up enough nerve to go and locate Chix and went in making sure that Nikki & Trisha weren't in. She talked to the Bartender and asked when they would be in, she even talked to one of the Patrons named Wendy who was more than happy to show her around The Village and Bonnie reciprocated with a late lunch.

She quickly returned to Helen's Flat and prepared Dinner to cheer her up which Helen needed since another Job Interview fell through. They had a quiet night in, watching the Telly.

So the weeks went on and Helen finally got the Job Offer of a Lifetime, it seemed that after hearing about Frances Myers doing such a superb job at Larkhall and was given the Position of running Whitehouse Women's Prison, she got the offer to run Crow's Hall an "Open Prison" where less offenders do their time.

She got established and did a good job but she felt bad that she couldn't spend more time with Bonnie but she was so understanding. Since Bonnie was a Lawyer in her own right, she used her free time to watch and observe how the British Law System works.

It was funny to see the Lawyers wearing gowns and wigs but it was part of the legal process and noticed that women got harder sentences then men.

She drank Coffee, took notes, and really enjoyed watching the process, and one day as she was walking down the hall, she saw Nikki Wade. It seemed that Nikki had decided to deliver a check to Marion McLaughlin her lawyer to settle any Legal Fees.

When Nikki saw Bonnie, she looked upset and angry but Bonnie ran after her, pleading with her to talk to her.

They went to a Food Court nearby where Nikki had a Salad & Tea where Bonnie had some Fish & Chips.

"So how's Helen doing?" asked Nikki with an edge to her voice.

"She's doing great, got a new Job and everything, I don't see her that much because she's so busy but you know what they say, idleness is the Devil's Playwork." smiled Bonnie.

"Oh, that's nice, it must be kind of lonely for you, not knowing anyone except Helen." replied Nikki.

"Now, I don't depend on Helen for everything you know, she's great but I'm not like a Ball & Chain or something." replied Bonnie.

"You could have fooled me with the looks you gave each other at Dinner, the other night." replied Nikki.

"Hmm, well for what it's worth I think that Helen has something else or someone else on her mind, and it isn't me." replied Bonnie. "For what it's worth, I think she still likes you."

The minute Nikki heard that, she was happy but she decided to be on her defensive side.

"What makes you think that?" asked Nikki.

"Well, I saw the "looks" you had given each other at the Restaurant, it didn't look like two acquaintances to me." replied Bonnie.

"You don't know everything Bonnie so don't assume you do!" retorted Nikki. "So if you don't mind, I'll see you around."

As Nikki stomped off, Bonnie smiled because she knew come hell or high water these two were going to get back together.

The next couple of days Nikki was very cranky, she gave short stern answers, got angry at a poor bank teller for being too slow doing her transaction.

Yet nothing could have prepared her for the "conspiracy" that was going on behind her back.

Trisha and Bonnie met in private and decided to have the two "meet". Bonnie insisted that she take Helen to dinner as a way of saying thanks for showing her a good time, while Trish insisted to Nikki that she had to meet for their liquor license.

Nikki arrived first and got a smile from the waiter who showed to a table in a private room and had a Screwdriver while waiting for the client. A couple of minutes later Helen arrives while Bonnie is taking care of the Parking.

As the two look at each other they are horrified.

"What are you doing here?" they each shouted at each other.

"I was told to come here to talk about renewing a Liquor License." replied Nikki.

"Bonnie was telling me that she wanted to treat me to dinner." repled Helen helplessly.

As they added two and two together, they realized that they had been "had", and although they tried to be angry, they couldn't.

"Well, since we're here, we might as well make the most of it." replied Helen.

"Yeah, you're right." replied Nikki.

A couple of minutes later, Helen receives a note from Bonnie that says one word: Sorry

Nikki gets a message on her mobile that says: "Well somebody had to do something about you two and it was Bonnie and I."

So they enjoyed some Wine, ate a delicious meal and just enjoyed each other's company as though the past couple of months never took place.

They ate Dessert which for Nikki was Cheesecake and for Helen Jello which was her favorite snack from her childhood.

It was also during that time that Nikki admitted how jealous she was of seeing Helen with Bonnie.

"I just wanted to scream at Bonnie to tell her to go away." sighed Nikki sadly.

"You really don't know much about Bonnie do you?" asked Helen.

"No, I don't." replied Nikki honestly.

"Well, here are some facts about her, she's a Lawyer who lives in a place called Oakdale in Illinois, which is next door to Chicago and another place co-incidentally called Springfield."

"Hmm, that must get alot of teasing." laughed Nikki.

"Yeah, but she works closely with her mother named Jessica and believe or not, Bonnie's my cousin." explained Helen.

When Nikki heard that, she almost spat out her tea, she couldn't believe it.

"How, I mean what? asked Nikki.

"Her father Duncan is my cousin through my Mother's side, she had alot of distant relatives and Duncan is one of them." Helen explained.

"Well, why didn't you tell me before?" replied Nikki.

"I didn't think you cared, and since you were so angry about me spending time with Bonnie, I didn't want to upset you more." replied Helen sheepishly.

"Very interesting." replied Nikki with a laugh.

Nikki excused herself to go to the loo, and while she did, she decided to contact Bonnie at home.

The phone rang and they started to talk.

"Hello, Bonnie, it's me Helen....Yes, I'm having a nice time with Nikki....No, I'm not mad at you... Just a bit mortified but I'm over it....Yes, Dinner was nice....I enjoyed dessert too, Jello never goes out of style...I'm not sure if what time i'll be home tonight but I have a spare key...Yes, I'll be careful.... Talk to you soon....Goodbye.

As Helen hung up, she just shook her head and laughed.

Nikki returned and they decided since the night was young, they may as well make the most of it.

They went back to Chix and had the time of their lives. Trisha even gave them the thumbs up and the two danced the night away.

Later on, they went upstairs to the third floor where some of Helen's things were packed away by Bonnie that consisted of Jeans, A Sweater and her personal Toiletries.

They went into Nikki's bedroom and Nikki put on some romantic Jazz music and they slow danced some more. Their lips come into contact with one another and they hold on to each other as if their lives depended on it.

They find their way to the edge of the bed, and Helen breaks away from Nikki. She takes her index finger and places it on Nikki's lips and gently and seductively removes her clothes one by one as Nikki watches.

Helen then removes Nikki's clothes and as the two stand before each other, naked and unashmed Helen reaches out and kisses Nikki with a passionate abandon.

She falls on the bed pulling Nikki on top of her and their lips continue to caress one another. Nikki's hips gently thrust themselves against Helen while Helen's hands move towards Nikki's backside encouraging her to go harder and faster.

Their heavy breathing, moans and kisses reverberate around the room and before they know it, they each reach an orgasm.

A couple of minutes later Nikki's lips move down to flick each of Helen's breasts which become hard to the touch, her hands move down to the edges of Helen's mound, and as she touches it, she sees how wet with desire Helen is.

Her lips and tongue move down to her center and as her tongue comes into contact with Helen's clit she screams with passionate abandon moving her hands towards the back of Nikki's neck encouraging her to go harder as her hips move faster.

A fountain of lust reverberates from Helen and Nikki laps it up, she moves back on top of Helen and tastes herself on both of them. Helen moves on top of Nikki and straddles her moving her hips back and forth as Nikki's lips come into contact with Helen's neck.

She moves her head back feeling hotter and more sexual than she could ever feel. Nikki's hands move to Helen's breasts touching them, caressing them, feeling them, touching them.

"Oh Nikki, please don't stop you feel so good touching me." moaned Helen as she continues to move back and forth.

"I won't darling, I promise" declares Nikki.

A mixture of sweat, passion, and sex come to the surface and before Helen knows it, she's coming.

"I love you! I love you! I love you!" cries Helen as she climaxes.

As Nikki hears these words, she's in heaven because she wants to say the same words too but somehow she can't. Instead she places Helen on the bed next to her and takes her fingers and starts caressing Helen as though she were a rare sculpture.

She touches Helen's breasts, her stomach and the wetness of her mound, she buries her head in Helen's neck while her fingers insert themselves into Helen and move them back and forth.

The feeling feels so good, she moves her hips up and down, moaning words of lust and sexual desire that even Nikki isn't prepared to hear.

"Fuck this pussy baby."
"Get me all hot."
"You're making me so goddamned wet."
"You're hands feel so fucking good inside me."

This got Nikki more turned on and within minutes they each climax.

Helen rolled Nikki on her back and then took her mound and placed it in contact with Nikki's mound and started moving her hips against Nikki and leads Nikki's hands to her ass begging her to rub it, caress it and even give it a hard slap which really turns Helen on.

They move harder and harder and as Helen climaxes, she leads Nikki's hands to see how "wet" she's become. Helen eventuall gets off of the bed and moves to the edge and asks Nikki to sit down on the edge.

She takes Nikki's hand and just asks her to just caress it touch it, and tease her but don't allow her to climax, even encouraging Nikki to talk dirty to "her".

"Does it feel good baby." asks Nikki as she strokes Helen.

"Oh, god you know it does." moaned Helen as she's moving her hips around.

"Do you like what I'm doing to you?" asks Nikki.

"Oh yes, it feels so good." moans Helen. "You're stroking me is getting me so horny."

So for fun, Nikki removes her hand.

"What are you doing?" asks Helen surprised.

"Come here Helen." orders Nikki.

As Helen sits on Nikki's lap, she once again starts stroking Helen where Helen moves her hips around. Nikki even starts circling Helen's breasts which are harder than pointed diamonds.

"Do you want me inside you." asks Nikki seductively.

"Ooooh yes." moans Helen.

"I mean do you really want me "inside" you." asks Nikki.

"Oh, if you don't get "inside" me I'm going to go crazy." cries Helen.

"Well stay right there." smiled Nikki.

She went to her bottom drawer and pulled out a Strap On. She bought it shortly after leaving Larkhall and never shared it with Trisha, but she had hoped she and Helen could use it, and now they could.

"Oh, God, a strap on, a dick, you're going to put it inside me." asked Helen hocked.

"Yes, but only if you want it." replied Nikki.

"I want it more than anything, baby stick that hard cock inside me, fuck this pussy." moaned Helen as her legs are spread and her knees are bent.

So with a devlish smile, Nikki puts some lubricant to prevent the pain from hurting and enters Helen which makes Helen moan with desire. Nikki then moves back and forth slowly so she doesn't hurt Helen but Helen wants it harder and rougher.

As Nikki moves back and forth, Helen is groaning and moaning thrusting her hips to meet her lover's, she's so turned on that she turns Nikki on her back and moves the cock inside and out of her pussy moaning how it's Nikki's, it's hers and nobody else's, and how good it feels to be a Lesbian.

Eventually their next climax is so intense, they hold on to each other for dear life. Nikki removes the Dildo and rolls Helen on her stomach where she kisses and caresses her back, and her ass. She takes her fingers and starts touching Helen from behind, telling her how sexy she is, how beautiful she is, etc.

Helen on the other hand moves her hips so hard to Nikki's touch, she really finds herself ejaculating as though months of repressed passion came bubbling to the surface.

She faces Nikki and takes her index finger, wets it, and moves down to Nikki's mound and moves her own hands inside Nikki. Nikki is so aroused that her own hips start moving back and forth and when she climaxes, Helen sucks the juice from her fingers.

Helen reaches out and snuggles next to Nikki feeling the fast rapid sound of Nikki's heartbeat.

"Oh, thank you for tonight." murmurs Helen as she kisses Nikki's neck.

"I think it's morning now." smiled Nikki.

"Yeah, whatever." Helen replies as she giggles. "And to think I almost lost you, I love you so much Nikki."

"Not half as much as I love you." murmured Nikki as she kisses Helen's forehead.

"Helen." asked Nikki.

"Mmm." replies Helen.

"Where do we go from here, I mean tonight was fantastic, but what do you want." asks Nikki.

"I want you, to be with you, spend time with you, make love with you, committ myself to you for now and always." murmurs Helen.

"Then you have me as much as I have you." smiled Nikki.

They slept for a couple of hours and then went into the shower together and had a steamy wash using not only soap but Gel that they each placed on the other persons bodies. Nikki's hands felt so good on Helen that she lead them to her pussy and as Nikki placed Helen against the wall, their hips moved faster and faster.

They eventually washed and Nikki even washed Helen's hair and gave it a good dry. Nikki even told Helen to go back into the Bedroom where she'd serve her Breakfast In Bed which was so sweet and romantic.

For Helen, it consisted of eating Eggs, Sausages, Toast with Jam and freshly brewed Coffee while Nikki was happy with Microwavable Pancakes, Butter, and Toast.

After eating ravenously, they washed the dishes, got dressed and got their cars. Nikki followed Helen in her Silver Volkswagen Beetle while Helen rode her Peugeot.

They reached Helen's flat where Bonnie had left a note saying she was going to stay with her father Duncan to catch up on some lost time and giving the two of them some "privacy".

Eventually the four of them got to spend time together and the Monday before Bonnie had to go back to The US to work in her mother's Law Firm the five of them including Duncan went out to Dinner and had a terrific time.

Since Duncan was driving Bonnie to the Airport, Bonnie said her goodbyes to Helen there and also to Trish and Nikki.

On Monday, as each of them got ready for work, they looked up at the sky wondering what Plane Bonnie was on, and no matter what, they knew that this very "Special" cousin and Trisha were responsible for giving them a second chance at love.
