Chapter 6
The ride home was filled with chatter about the weekend activities. Helena raved about how well Wilson and Jun Ying were doing academically and personally. “Jun is getting to be so tall. She is becoming quite the young lady. I think we might need to hire personal body guards. All she is thinking about are boys right now. Wilson is anxious for his puberty to begin. He spent most of the weekend trying to show the one little hair he thinks he has. Poor Winnie is trying to cope with their adolescent changes and urges.”
“Mother is really pressing hard for me to take over the reigns of the Foundation. She had me meet with the board before I left today. She wants to retire to her little island and she hopes to turn the Foundation over to someone she trusts. She is even willing to allow me to move the corporate offices here to LA. Funny that she would feel that way after all the hell I’ve been through in the past couple of years”
“Maybe it is because of all the hell you have been through that she trusts you. You know that saying, ‘what doesn’t kill you will make you strong’. You are a much stronger person for surviving it. Are you interested in taking over?”
“I’m a little torn. It’s more money, more prestige but more demands, more headaches and likely more travel. I enjoy my work at the center. I like working at ground level. I love working with the kids. But with the foundation I can certainly affect more centers like it. But my main hesitation is that I’m still worried about being under the good will of my mother for anything”
“It sounds like you have a lot to think about and decide”.
Bette updated her in the little party and the usual banter from the girls. “I just don’t know how Papi meets all these women.” Helena looked at her and smiled. Bette shook her head and said, “I don’t want to know. I really don’t want to know”.
Helena reassured her, “Darling, you have nothing to fear. Papi cannot hold a candle to you.”
Bette did not discuss Tina’s proclamations, although it crept into her thoughts periodically. Once they were at Bette’s house, Bette debated on how she would break the news to Helena. They were having such a pleasant evening and she knew the mood would change dramatically. After they crawled naked into bed together, Helena laid on Bette’s chest as she has come to do so routinely. “Your heart is beating so fast right now. Bette, tell me what is troubling you. I’m so used to listening to your little arrhythmia but now it’s just so fast. You seem so worried and tense”

Helena shouldn’t be so insecure…just because you get turned on, doesn’t mean you want that person…the body responds to touch no matter what…pps
phew, i’m glad helena didn’t walk out. i think that an ex can sometimes evoke feelings in a person, but that it doesn’t mean you wanna be with them if you get my drift…telling that story is really rather interesting, the way you’ve done it. i mean angst and sex aside, just that central idea is really good in this story. pps!
Hey…Major Tibetter here but I read on the discussion boards that this was a great story. I haven’t read the earlier portion of this story…Obviously it was a belena fic. Anyways, I am really enjoying this story so far. I kinda have a feeling as to where you will be taking it but, I shall keep my opinions to myself and just sit back as the story unfolds. Good Job and thanks for the hard work.
This was a great chapter, Squirl ! Really great. I loved it. Just one thing though, I think if I were Helena ( and I’m obviously not. LOL ! ), I would be at least as much troubled by the fact that Bette seems to be still sentimentally drawn to Tina as much as I would be by the fact that Tina turns her on. I mean, if Tina can still “move” her the way she does, I think it means it’s something deep we’re talking about, isn’t it ? I mean, if it’s just the physical attraction between B & T that scares her, then Helena’d better leave right away indeed because this is definietly not somtehing anybody can control and Bette can’t do anything about it. I mean, come on, I’m sure both Bette AND Helena get turned on by many different people all the time. What really matters is that 1 – they don’t act on those feelings of course ; 2 – there are no emotional entanglements so it doesn’t mean anything except they are human beings ( and they are not Buddhists. LOL ! ). Once again, bravo Squirl. This was a very enthralling chapter.
ouch,ouch,ouch, those tringles really hurt and unresolved feelings bother everyone involved, can’t wait to see where this goes. Thanks for the hard work. Md
WOW S, this was one emotional chapter and Helena had every right to be mad at Bette for not telling her over the phone. But at the end Helena could hear Bette’s heart beat and knew it was hers..gret chapter S
I agree with Helebette all the way. Just because an ex might evoke feelings, DEFINATELY does not automatically equate to you wanting to be with them. The past cannot be erased, and if you can look at it fondly, then sometimes you can bring some lovely memories forward and feel a warmth in them. However, I would never define that as meaning you are still in love or want that person. Nuh-uh. I was glad to see Helena at least shut up long enough to hear what Bette said, and then of course enjoy just what Bette did to her. HEE HEE. Great stuff. All you girls are killing me here with NC17’s!!!! : – ))) Post soon hun.
I hear where Hel is coming from. I think the see-saw with B and T is quite nauseating. Although, I root for them to get their shit together in the end! go figure!!!! great story though. I am a tibetter, but am rooting for Helena in this one.
tibetter here, great chapter. tina is always gonna be their lives. helena needs to feel more secure and bette should do what she can to make helena feels it… but i still want tina and bette…lol helena and bette..dunno.
Drama you got to love it! This was excellent no doubt about it. You really out did yourself and it was a pleasure to read. Thanks for the update!
I would be more alarmed by the emotional connection than the physical…Tina is using the kid and dilusions/illusions of the perfect family to lure B back in…but hello…it wasn’t perfect before…everthing that glitters ain’t gold people…very happy H stood up for herself and her ground…B has to recognize the impact….great update PPS!!
That was a close one! I thought for sure Helena was walking out but I’m so glad Bette was able to somewhat reassure her. She just needs to kick Tina’s ass and be done with it.
=O Wow this was a very emotional chapter I LOVED IT but I think Bette should be alone for a while, she needs to figure out what she really wants, I don’t want her to hurt Helena… PPS!
I read all chapters: this is a great story. I think ex’s coming out of a long relationship will always have something lingering (i have that experience) but it is sometimes healthier to walk away from being again romantically involved and move on. Thanks for this strong story.
Finally caught up on this intense story! As a TiBetter (or as you like to call me, a polyshipper), my typical response would be to want a happy TiBette ending. But the way you are crafting this tale, I could go with it either way. Truly, Tina is bold in her declarations, but I think it’s too much, too little, too late. Bette did everything she knew to do to win her back, only to be rebuffed at every turn. Tina does have a point that Helena may be more of a rebound, even if Bette has genuine feelings for her. The timing is just wrong. She was alone for so long. With Nadia and Jodi, and now Helena, I think she’s trying to make up for lost time, as it were (especially 2-3 times a day–dang! lol). She does need to chill awhile to make sure she really is over Tina. Sure, their history will forever connect them, but it doesn’t automatically mean that Bette is still hooked on Tina. But Tina obviously has pushed some buttons. So…what will Bette do? Will Helena stick around to find out and set herself to get burned again, or will she stay and fight after she overcomes her insecurities? And what will Tina’s next move be? I like her assertiveness, but the timing is wrong here, too! Great story, Squirl! I’d hoped by the time I caught up that you’d post a new chapter, so I am impatiently waiting, along with everyone else!
the old triangulation thing huh…well, I’m not as sure as Bette that she’s over Tina…Helena said many wise words there & maybe she needs to take some alone time and listen to herself…a spell alone wouldn’t harm them and then if Hel really wants Bette & Bette really wants Hel they’ll know it’s genuine not just HEAT…many people in Hel’s situation get hurt because the PRIMARY RELATIONSHIP isn’t actually over. B & T separated but they didn’t separate because they were ‘no longer in-love’…they separated rather than deal to their personal and couple issues…I’m not sure where u r taking this but I’m guessing someone is gonna get hurt in the long run. PPS
WOW S this is one emotional thing you wrote there. Helena should know Bette and Tina have a history together, a history that wasn’t always the perfect one but they were very close for years and you just can’t erase that lik eit never meant something I think Bette has showed her by now she is the one she wants to be with cause if she wanted to be back with Tina again I don’t think she would have hesitated. I agree with Bette not telling this over the phone cause you can’t see each other eyes ad facial expressions than and sometimes words can be like bullets (hmm where did I hear that before wink) and hurt pretty badly even if you didn’t mean it like that and then it’s better to be face to face with each other instead of over the phone, besides I’m pretty sure if Bette would have told this over the phone Helena would have hung up on her not giving her a chance to explain, hell she even wanted to run now!!I’m glad she stayed though and found out it is her that Bette wants to be with.
Hello Squirl, I think Helena is right, Bette should set some distance to get her head straight. I agree with everyone that says having certain reactions brought about both emotionally and physically doesn’t necessarily mean that you want to be with them, but Bette hasn’t been able to deny whole heartedly that she has moved on from Tina. She might have said it, but it felt like she was saying it in passing, no real emotions behind it, no real conviction. I think it would be interesting for Bette to leave, go away to get her heart in the right place and put the ball in Tina and Helena’s court, who is willing to go the distance for the woman they love. Bette is being treated like a yoyo and she needs to get her shit together. I love how you are playing with the rhythm of Bette’s heart, whose heart it beats to anyways :P. I love this story you are amazing. Sincerely, JC
I see Helena’s point; bloody painful
Hello Squirl! I agree with Jackiee1 “bloody painful” and I feel like the whole thing is far from over. We’ll see what you’re up to. No matter what tell YOUR story! Looking forward to it.. ;) so pps!
oh, and I forgot: many people should listen more often to their heartbeat- sometimes it would surprise them..
WOW!!!! helebette and Chicki are so right. This story just keeps getting better and better. I just hope Tina will back the F**K off and give B&H a chance. Thank you PPVS
Wow. Simply wow. That was a great chapter…one of the best. I loved the sweetness of Helena tapping out Bette’s heartbeat. I’m w/darkhawk down on this one. Helena is right. I actually think she should have left Bette so that B could sort out her feelings. Being physically turned on is one thing, but she was actually thinking back on her life w/Tina and how great it had been and nice it would be for Angelica, etc. Bette already put Helena through Hell w/her previous Jodi situation (Do I Know You?) Helena’s been through too much heartache–Tina, Dylan and now Bette TWICE!
