Helena had been standing at the kitchen island with her palms flat on the counter for several minutes before an unsure, nervous, and anxious, Dylan entered. She looked at Dylan, almost surprised to see her.
“Helena. I can’t take this. What can I do or say to prove to you that I have no intention of harming you legally, personally, financially? You’re too important to me.”
“I’m having a bit of a time believing any of that right now.”
“That’s understandable. Should I. . .I mean, you probably don’t want me to stay here. I guess I’ll call a cab.”
“I could use a pint, an ale, a good lager. My version of comfort food,” Helena said without humor.
Dylan’s feet carried her beside Helena and she pulled her into her arms. Helena immediately tried to wiggle out of her embrace, but Dylan held on. “I can’t let you go.”
“Please, Dylan,” Helena demanded.
“I can’t. I can’t.” Dylan tightened her hold. “I’m sorry. I’ll do anything to make this right between us. I don’t want to lose you.”
“Not when you can get tens of thousands from me or were you hoping for hundreds of thousands?” Helena wondered aloud, but Dylan didn’t respond. “Millions?” Helena asked incredulously, “Millions?”
“I don’t want your money. I don’t need your money. I don’t want it.” Dylan loosened her hug, then let her hands drop completely. “Fuck it. Fuck it all.” Dylan left the room and walked back into the bedroom. She pulled her cell phone from her large tote bag and punched in the number for information. “Malibu, California.” She was sitting on the edge of the bed. “Any damn taxi company that goes from Malibu to downtown LA.”
Helena entered the room while Dylan waited to be connected to the number.
“Dylan?” Helena said softly. “Hang up.”
Dylan turned to look at her. “Why?”
“I don’t want you to leave.”
“Why?”
“Please hang up.”
Dylan closed the phone and sighed. She looked at Helena and said, “I’m not angry with you. You can’t possibly hate me as much as I hate myself. I am so full of self-loathing at this very minute that it’s unreal. What I was a part of is abhorrent and its unforgivable, but I hope somewhere in your heart, sometime in the future, you’ll realize that I started out to do something foolish, but almost as soon as I started, I changed.” Dylan dropped the phone onto the bed. “Jesus.”

I’m an avid reader of your fic but this chapter has way too much TiBette,it’s like this whole chapter is about them. This fic is good because it has stories of many characters ,not just T/B. I’ve noticed that fics that write about TiBette usually get the awards so maybe that’s why.I really love your work and I’m looking forward to the next chapter!
LOVED IT!! You continue to do an amazing job of blending the hot sexy things with the drama. Shane is obviously on the money with this guy…and poor Bette!! The fortune teller was creepy only cuz she was right!! Can’t wait for more!!
Wow, Portia….truely amazing….again. You broke my heart with Dylan/Helena, I’m so glad she came clean and is trying to save her realtionship…And Danish is way to good a fit not to love…and marriage…for both. thank goodness for Canada!! Well what can you say about you hot hot hot Tibette….and more than one lov’n scene…how lucky lucky lucky are we!! thank you for all your obvious dedication to this story, it’s yours and you’ve made us a part of it…I can’t even imagine what your cooking up next…So why is it that you writers love to leave us on the edge of a cliff??? Pls Pls, why????
That was just… fantastic, Portia. I love this story, I just love it, everything about it. The drama, the sex, the humor, the emotion, the suspense… it’s all fabulous. I was so sorry for Helena… I’m hoping that her and Dylan have gotten past it… Alice and Dana were just too cute; Bette and Tina… what can I say? I just wish people would just leave them alone to be happy. Now that Shane’s spotted f*cking Josh, I can see everything going to hell in battery-operated cart. I wish Bette didn’t have to be on this bloody retreat. Why couldn’t she just have taken a bog standard anger-management course with the rest of LA’s unwashed plebs and stuck closer to home? I know you just gave us well over 60 pages in less than a week, but I’m already looking for more. Thanks for the post, Portia, this was just excellent.
You know you’re brilliant:)Here I was thinking we were going to get a Shane and Carmen plane sex scene. Update soon.
Just so you know, I googled Barry Manilow to see if those were jingles he actually wrote. LMFAO Be back, uh, one of these days to comment again when I’m finished reading.
i don’t even know what to say about this. the updates are always incredible and the amount of time and effort you must put in them is staggering. thanks and know that i am so looking forward, albeit with quite some trepidation, to your next installment.
Lordy my heart is pounding – what a finish. Another terrific installment. You really are soooo good at this. My monitor is smoking from the Bette and Tina scenes. THANK YOU.
This story just keeps getting better and better. Lucky me, I am so slow to read this, but I can go right into the next chapter!!!
Your story is everything- enjoyable, entertaining and incredibly real! I await your posts anxiously… keep it coming!
God damn heh!!! This story is fan-fucking-tastic!!!At this point I can take or leave the show but seriously I can’t ever imagine not being able to read this story. Yet I realise that it too will eventually end. I don’t know what you have planned, there is so much going on maybe some of it is within your power and maybe the story has at this point taken on a life of its own. But if at all possible can you not give Bette and Tina too much shit as well as all the other couples. You have made these characters so beyond endearing thats its truly a pleasure to read this story. Thanks
This story is so fucking good! It’s like having a delious mouth watering meal and then topping it off with a sinful dessert!I am bracing myself for the drama! oh and the TIbette loving was pure unadulterated FIRE! Post soon!
I love how your creative s/l parrallels with the show but at a refreshing angle. Look like some serious drama is looming in the future for B&T. I’ll be waiting for your next post with great anticipation. Thank you!
Dang. Now you’ve got me believing in psychics! ;-)
Awwwwwwwwwww a wedding! Hopefully it actually happens. lol MAN B&T are hot!
Dear Portia, Sorry to hear about your mom. All our best wishes are with you and your family. Take care, Nanc
Ok too much drama doesnt always make a good story they’ve had enough already now its getting redundant im just speaking my opinion but let’s read on.
