“As much as I feel we are meant to be together. Perhaps I should be the one who is afraid. A blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty breaks us up. Dreams aren’t what they always seem to be. They’re metaphors. They’re latent wishes. They’re…”
“Fears. They’re fears, it seems, most often for me, Helena,” Bette interrupted.
“Well, perhaps I should fear you are still in love with Tina. And that you should leave me and my heart in the dust,” Helena sighed.
“No. No. No. Helena, I want you. I just don’t know how to wrap my life around you.”
Chapter 25
Reaching over, Helena smiled and took Bette’s hand, placing it around her back and saying, “Well, perhaps you shall start by wrapping your arm around me.”
Bette smiled and began caressing Helena’s back with her fingertips.
“See how easy that is,” Helena beamed, stroking Bette’s face lightly.
“I really like lying here next to you, cuddling,” Bette said softly.
“Talk to me, Darling,” Helena quietly insisted, after leaning in to kiss her nose.
“I don’t know what to say,” Bette replied. “Or where to start.”
“It’s often said that a good place to start is at the beginning,” Helena said playfully.
Bette grinned. “You are so brilliant.”
“Aren’t I?” Helena teasingly agreed, kissing Bette slowly and softly. “Now, what are you afraid of and why? What makes wrapping your life around me so difficult?”
Bette sighed and closed her eyes. When she opened them, she began at the beginning.
“I fell in love once before, quick and hard, just like with you. And I thought it was forever. And then life became difficult and I fucked up royally. I had an affair. It took a long time to get through the pain after Tina and I broke up. I think I still haven’t forgiven myself. But I have created a new life for myself.”
“Have you?” Helena interrupted.
Bette looked at Helena quizzically.
“Are you happy in this so-called new life that you’ve supposedly created?” Helena asked.
“What are you asking, Helena?”
“Bette, it’s very simple. Do you wake up filled with passion? Do you have dreams? Are they being met? Do you feel fulfilled? Satisfied?”

Awww!!! It can’t be over!!! This story was so sweet and wonderfully written. Thank you for this story z. Helena and Bette were meant for each other. I love how they had that conversation. It flowed so perfectly! I hope to see a new story from you soon. Happy Holidays!
That’s a perfect ending, I loved the story, my how things have changed since your first posting…looking forward to the next story!!!
Z, i know it’s the holidays and all…but you can’t end there…helena had just gone into some real good psycho-babble…we need to know what happens a month or a year from now…only you can do it Z…i hope the encouragement is working here…anyway, really, really, REALLY enjoyed the post…hope to see another belena soon!! Joyeux Noel..
Zzzzzzzzzzz, IT’S OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL…Okay, I loved it, you had them finally talk and it all made sense how one can get scared to fall in love again after we have been broken hearted. It was well written and as always loved. thanks Z!!
Don’t you think there might be a story in Peggy’s further adventures with the SF museum woman and how Helena and Bette can aid and abet that relationship? Like quick weekend trips to Napa, so easy to do from San Francisco, with wine and dinner conversation and lots of hot sex for young and old alike. And I bet Bella might even have insights to offer them all. Well, just a thought.
hey Z I’m sorry to see this beautiful tale came to an end but that’s the way life goes I guess. I’m s glad Bette gave Helena a chance to explain the misunderstanding and they can now go on from there. Can’t wait for your next story about those two beautiful women.
Well, the least I can say is this was a delithful story, Zheese. Loved it. Thank you so much. But I hope you’re not planning on abandoning us, faithful readers of yours, again ? ( puppy dog eyes ) Are you ? This would be so cruel. You have to find a way to write us a new fic, pleeeeeaase Zheeeese ?…
Of course what you were actually supposed to read was : this was a “delightful” story. I think my brain crashed when I read the words ” final chapter “.
Aww…that was such a sweet ending…i was very well-written, I love the way you captured the characters…hope to see something new from you
Not. Over. Want. More.
Awwwww… it’s oveeeerrr… that was a beautiful story Zheese… but must it really come to an end ?… well, please, maybe you could write a sequel, or just another story… or something about the SF museum director and Peggy ? ;-) — well, anyway, if Bette doesn’t want her free case of “In vino Veritas”, I’ll take it ;-)) I’ll even settle for a bottle of it ;-))
Hey Zheese, Another great addition to this splendid story. I love how you manage to encapsulate all the mided emotions that fill you when beginning a new relationship. There is love and attraction but also the sins of the past haunting both these women. Yes, they each know that this relationship is special and potentially life altering but are aware of how open to hurt it makes them. I am glad that they are sorting through these fears and doubts. This is the way to combat their pasts and unite their future. Brilliant. More please…. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Hello zheese, while I am saddened to see this incredibly beautiful story end, it feels like the perfect place. This whole story felt like a fairy tale, you are a master craftsperson and your ability to vividly portray the emotions, characters and landscapes throughout this story made me feel like I was being taken away to a magical place. You really have a special hold on these characters and I cannot wait for what you might indulge in next. This story was like a finally aged wine, sipped in the company of a beautiful soul. Thank you for the Experience. “In wine one beholds the heart of another” – Unknown, Sincerely, JC
I loved this story and am sad to see it end also, especially w/a PG-13 rating! Ha! Anyway, hopefully it means you’ve got another idea in the works and we’ll see something new and different from you soon?
Sugar overdose with your stuff Zheese. As always this story was very sweet and romantic
