Part 5 – Long Way Home.
“No, not rich, I am a poor man with money, which is not the same thing.”
The blaring sunshine burned her eyes, as a thousand images flashed through her mind each clamouring to come to the forefront and be heard, understood. She felt alone despite the many bodies who swarmed around her, each one desperate to touch and hold the woman who’d been missing from their lives for so long. All except two who hung back quietly, reverently accepting of the fact that in the last few days they’d had their fair share and it was time to allow the others a look in,
Behind her the engine of the aircraft still roared, settling down after a long and tiring flight. She wondered how long it would be before she would board it again, how long it would take her effortlessly gorgeous mother to sort out her mess once again. She felt shame as she looked at them, their faces and expressions somewhat obscured from view by the reflection of sunlight on dew-drenched tarmac. Their voices too, a misty hum of sounds around her, unmistakable that she was no longer in Africa, the dulcet tones of those she’d lived with left long and far behind,
She felt pangs of loss, and fear at all the things she was about to loose, her independence, her freedom, the ability to go where she wanted and be who she wished. In the distance a serious man and woman waited, unknown to her yet their presence clear, they had come for her as planned, to take her from the life she left. She stood still on the tarmac, the presence of the others who’d flown with her felt from behind, watching her as she strode bravely forwards, accepting of her fate. She longed to rush back and hold them once again, cling to the lifeline of the night before or the day before, whenever it was, the time changes and flights between night and day completely throwing her off,
So she stood once again on American soil, her homeland. The child of an American heiress and a British diplomat raised everywhere but anywhere she might call home. She’d flown the globe and come to land in a quiet place where no one knew her yet she felt more at home there than anywhere she’d been in a long time. In her mind she was still in Africa, the quiet hum of the aircraft, the heat pouring out from it’s engines only comparable to the oppressive early morning humidity as she stood by the waters edge waiting to take flight to the mainland and fight for something they badly needed. Her cause then known, her cause now less understood. She stood willing, waiting to take penance for her actions yet she couldn’t bring herself to be sad, knowing that in the end, it was all right,

*falls off couch, picks self up, falls off again…* yes, i did that like ten times during this story. ok, i’ve decided something babe–yes, life is temporary and blahblah, but i’ve also decided that continuity is a beautiful thing as well. beeeeeeeeeeeautiful in fact:) i love how you’ve captured the sadnesses of life’s temporary embraces, with the underlying promises of something moving forward. i do not read this as a tibette piece, far from it, but something incredibly free and interesting and wonderful. i have to say for the record F*** the whole notion of prison, rich folks included, its a stupid and silly system to hoist human beings into. and its a metaphor in this case, for something…who knows what…but anyway, ignore my rant for the moment, i just wanted to say that i *also* love how you handled that little question. believing in the character indeed…and ok, your commentary on genocide in africa, waaaay to leave me in tears babe. you’re a lovely writer and an even lovlier person:) big brother will soon find his infuriating designs foiled by the resistance, i have much faith in that. your poetry remains integral to the struggle;) xo babe, i give this one thirty thousand thumbs up and declare it the winner hands down! (i’ll still post mine though, just a bit later tonite;)
I’m glad I couldn’t sleep now, cos that was completely and totally awesome. Beautifully written and just…. awesome. I have to hope that Helena will be okay. I’m glad she gave the money away, it was the right thing. Loved every word, sofa, thanks.
OH MY GOD!!!! I needed a few minutes to properly respond. I am just floored by this story. This was put together so nicely, and with ALOT of taste. The threesome…just THUD plain and simple. It was hot, steamy, but written without real smut! It was brought to life with such realism (not that I know. * wink * )and with such respect. Hands down, this is definately up there in my opinion as being one of the best short stories. I honestly felt like I went on this Safari and was standing there watching..*blushing* Great stuff Sofa, and I would honestly LOVE to see a little OR long sequel to this one. It’s so different, and filled with love, wild abandon, honesty, and flavorful!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. PS: Helebette, thank you for letting Sofa free long enough to write dear. I know how hard that can be. * wink * Waiting on the Lword Xfiles…chop chop.
beautifully told. thx
Sofa that was very sensous with out as Chicki said being smutty. This was a love story. Interesting to see Tina in charge and directing their activities. Wonderfully story. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it.
A beautifully written story, Sofa. Thank you. Lin
I am not sure I have the words to express how well this was done! As others have said, it was very tasteful yet highly sensuous. Your writing is impeccable sofa, thank you!
Hot, hot, hot stuff! If things couldn’t be hotter, this tops it all! Thanks for writing this sensous, sexy and tittilating story!
Ah sofa, that blew me away, on so many levels. Incredibly sexy of course, but deeply understanding of character and the human condition as well. If you can find the time, do follow this up please. I mean it’s not like Helena’s going to be away all that long (if at all). We ARE talking about California’s criminal courts after all. Ask Phil Spector. Or OJ.
I never ever imagined where you would bring this story when I read the first chapter. This was so well done and so believable. You really made me feel the different world in which they were all temporarily placed. It was a wonderful concept, and made what followed very plausible. I loved it. Thanks so much.
This story, and especially this chapter touched every part of me. This chapter alone was nothing short of breathtaking. Thank you.
What a beautiful ending to an amazing story. So well written, start to finish, sofa. You certainly brought out the best in all three women…so loving, so caring, very sensual, and of course, sexy as hell. An epilogue would be delightful… pretty please…
Shaking head, mouth hanging open… WOW. i don’t know what else to say… a sequel would be great…:) totally hot that tina takes control…:)
ok, ok, i take back my comment about imagined or desired realities…*if* RS is involved, i’ll consider it. *runs away giggling*
Sofa, I was a fan before, but this story was so incredibly sensual, sexy, beautiful, poignant, raw and touching. My heart aches for these characters. I had posted a comment early on during your posts about the fate of Tina. You brought these three together so beautifully that I, a major Belena shipper, am convinced that these three should forever be together. Excellent story. I TRULY loved it.
That was amazing. It really was touching which is quite some achievement for a threesome. And it was sexy and hot but not in the least crass. You certainly don’t need to be embarrassed by this chapter. It’s five stars all the way.
Sofa! Between you and hb I’m going to end up “liking?” Helena… tastefully written… loved this story on a lot of levels… experiencing Africa through Angelica’s eyes “PiK” :) watching Helena become ?human and of course Bette and Tina!,,, what an imagination you have!!! can’t wait until the next one… as the teens say- that was “a mad nice “story!…
Wow! Beautiful story and so well written. I was mesmerized as of the first chapter and what an ending…! Thank you very much for the wonderful reading time you gave me.
just wishing that you’ll write another story soon. am still a tibetter so… write one of them yes ;)
absolutely luved this story, but i do hope for a sequel, great, great job, and of course luved the 3 way, something about being in the middle of 2 alpha’s, hot, hot, hot!!!!!!!!
Hello Sofa, I must say that was just so very powerful. The emotions at the very beginning as they are all playing what had transpired in there minds was just so very real. The intimacy between these three women shows us that there are many different types of love, and both Bette and Tina showed Helena a deeper love then anything she might have ever experienced. Making love is not just about the physical but about the spiritual and emotional context, for Helena this was a gift beyond anything they could have given her, they showed her what real love is all about. She has finally found her family and they will be there for her no matter what happens, this is the lesson the Peggy wanted her to learn when she first let her free, so I can only imagine with renewed strength and self-worth she is going to be ok. Sincerely, JC (PS- I completely agree with what you said about the situation in Kenya it is so tragic and so heartbreaking. PPS I’m with Chicki, Helebette lets get that X-Files story on the go)
So real, love the story the way you exposed the feelings, the friendship more the love between the three women. A sequel o it will be fantastic. thank you for sharing this incredible story with us. Happy new yea, see you soon.
