Part 35
The wine tasting party was fun as anticipated. Helena kept Dylan at arm’s length throughout the evening. She met with several of Dylan’s new friends and delighted in their company. The interracial lesbian couple who hosted the party brought a mix of interesting people to the party, who might not have otherwise interacted together. They reminded her of Tasha and Alice. Two people who come from different worlds but brought together by their love for each other. She found this to be very interesting especially given her own current relationships.
She charmed the room with her questions about their lives and shared with them very little of her own. She was curious to know how they were associated with Dylan and they were curious to know how she was also but she kept them blind, unless Dylan had shared with them individually about their story. Dylan watched with fascination how Helena worked the room. She assumed this was no different than how she might be working the room at her restaurant or bar. Helena looked beautiful and sexy in the sweater and jeans that she wore. They clung to the gentle curves of her body and showed how fit she was. Dylan found herself aroused from across the room, just by the simple sight of her smiling and laughing.
Dylan sat back and watched the attendees at the wine tasting salivate over her. With her usual Helena Peabody charm, she had all the guests wanting to get up close and personal with the new girl in town. Although Helena enjoyed the attention, she was not truly interested in much of what any of them had to say, but this petty superficial chat with members of the crowd was what she did best. She used her well honed Peabody charming skills to engage with the other guests and keep away from Dylan. She was not ready to face Dylan and deal with her realization that she still indeed still loved her.
In the back of her mind the entire night, she wondered what kind of a future they could have given their history and given Dylan’s history of returning to Chelsea despite saying it was over. Dylan wanted her trust. How could she? She acknowledged Dylan was honest with her about Chelsea, at least this time she was. Was it really over as she said? She couldn’t understand Dylan’s frequent return to Chelsea. She put herself on Chelsea’s place and thought how awful it must be to be a tool for someone to get off on if that’s all their relationship was about. How could Dylan do this? Was there more to Dylan than she knew, than she understood? In some ways the relationship was abusive, if Dylan truly didn’t care for her. She didn’t know this side of Dylan but then again there was so much she didn’t know about Dylan. What else would she learn that she would find unpleasant? She thought many times through the night, maybe it was best. if she could, to walk away now. She could not phantom Dylan being so uncaring, she must care for Chelsea on some level, why else would you keep returning to her when she supposedly meant nothing to her.

I love that Dylan doesn’t hold back. She tells it like it is. She asks the hard questions. She is so honest in that sense–Helena must see that. I can’t believe Helena would even suggest to Dylan that she share her w/Raquel. Dylan was right–no sharing. I think that if Dylan’s willing to fight, she deserves Helena heart and soul. Raquel’s not fighting–she’s letting her go.
I would like to see all three happy, As I love Dylan and really really like Helena in the show. If Dylan can’t have Helena as her one and only forever then let Dylan let her go and seek love and happiness else where. thanks
No worries Squirl…I have finally caught up – just out of town for the holidays and missing your incredible story to boot. Ok, so I guess I can see Helena’s point a little more clearly after reading this chapter. Dylan has said the wrong thing on more than one occasion and than gone back and done the opposite. She has a right to be doubtful. On the other hand, she keeps making it difficult for Dylan to be honest with her. Geez Helena give the woman some credit for coming clean – that was an incredibly brave and risky act to take. She loves you — remember??? Besides Helena and this Racquel affair must be simply destroying Dylan on the inside. I just want to weep. And where the heck is my kiss? One freakin’ HOT kiss is all I’m asking for at this point. Maybe it will happen at the airport… I hope a little distance gives Helena some perspective. Her lack of trust toward herself is making it impossible to grasp that trust is a living, breathing, and changeable entity in all relationships. I don’t think she understands that there are no guarantees in any relationship. If she’s seeking that, she might just as well remain single her whole life. I still can’t believe she actually had the audacity to ask Dylan if she would be alright with her dating someone else at the same time. If I was Dylan I would have said “F*** No!” She was a little nicer than me though. Can’t wait for the next torturous chapter, Squirl.
I still think Dylan should let Helena go. She say that she’s not sure if she can trust Dylan because she keeps going back to Chelsea but then ask Dylan if she would share her with Raquel. My question is if Helena decides to be with Dylan can Dylan trust her knowing she’s still in love with Raquel. Dylan hit the nail right on the head when she said that Helena’s always looking for the next best thing. I think Helena has some abandonment issue because of her mother and maybe this is why she moves from woman to woman for fear that they might leave her first. All in all maybe the baggage that comes with Dylan is to much for Helena to handle and she needs to tell Dylan whether she wants to continue their relationship. Dylan has put all her cards on the table now it’s time for Helena to shut up or put up.
As always, I loved it! I think you have been doing an excellent job of fleshing out these characters and making it very hard for Helena and us to make a choice…Do remember that there was a whole crowd cheering for the Girl from Ipanema..including me! While I don’t believe it is necessary for Helena to rush with a decision…truly where is the fire? However, I can not believe the concept of sharing came out of her mouth…you’ve got to be kidding me, lady!! I’ll chalk it up to the fact that everyone being pretty transparent, as of late and she decided to voice one of those crazy thoughts that danced through her head! Then again, how different is this than simply dating…getting to know each other with everyone being single and free to do so? Ok, it could turn out to be a terrible… horrible disaster! Tooo many emotions…but at least it would take the pressure off…*sigh* I suppose I’m back to Helena taking some “me” time. Let’s face it, confusion is never the time to make a life altering decision! Btw, Helena is absolutely spoiled and born to daze and amaze…but I truly believe her heart has been opened to love…and to pain…and the pain of love and she did develop a very special intimacy with both of them…clearly the depth of the emotion is unsettling for her…So definitely Dylan, Raquel run if you want to avoid the potential for hurt…but not because there is the thought that she doesn’t have the capacity to truly love…I think she absolutely can! Btw,let me congratulate you on being a Talice fan…I think! lol! PPS
wow!!! yeah, yeah, i know but i couldn’t resist peeking in last chapter to see what u had done to them…so here i am again…of course u know who i pick. Thx and have a great new year’s week.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh My Passionate Friend… you are KILLING ME here… I have finally completely digested the last one and here you are… ahhhhhhhh I’m a lier cause I said I wouldn’t miss any more and yet I missed last one…. and I’m sorry for that… but this Chappy was by far THE BEST… MY FAVORITE… ahhhhhh… can you at least let me have today to get my mind around it… I have my thoughts about 34 ready to be typed… ahhhhhh… you are SO FUCKING GOOD… love and hugs, JC
At least I got this chapter as a reward for not sleeping. Should all parties agree I don’t necessarily think Helena needs to choose, but she does have to get to the point of figuring out how much uncertainty she can deal with in regards to Dylan. Love requires a willingness to be vulnerable, and so far with Dylan she’s all about the “what ifs”. Raquel hasn’t wounded her as deeply as Dylan, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s the better (or only) option. So Helena needs to shit or get off the pot fairly soon and let Dylan have a real chance, either with her or with someone else.
How can she even ask Dylan if she would be able to share her with Raquel while she just got so upset about Dylan running to Chelsea??? this is just insane, Dylan is right helena is a spoiled, overindulged little brat and I may even add that she is being very self centered in this chapter. She has to make a choice who it is she wants to be with and she has to do it now : the uncertain future with Dylan who obviously loves her very much but who she will never fully trust or a future with the hot Raquel who loves her very much but will never show it to her because she is afraid to get hurt herself. Maybe Helena should stay single and not be with either of them, instead of hurting two people.
Squirl sweetie of course I didn’t abandon you, I may have abandon me for the last few days but never you. In my honest opinon Dylan shoud put her running shoes on and never look back. She knows how to go through life without anyone always questioning her next move and she should stick to that. If she is ready to settle down than there are a million fish in her well traveled world let her go find someone that she isn’t going to have to feel like she is going to have to answer to for the rest of her life. She made a mistake that developed from her lifes enviorment she learned from it and she shouldn’t have to answer for it for the rest of her life. She has made her peace with Helena, So Run Dylan Run, like forrest gump.Raquel on the other hand olny knows the parts of Helena that were shown to her in their short time together. She could day dream forever about the fancy filled life that they could have together or move on and look at that time as a pleasent episode of life.(you could give her my #)Helena, Helena oh poor Helena is a mess, she has a number of options but the only one I can clearly see right now is for her to go home and get back in her goove, force herself to take the things Dylan and Raquel have said to her mix that with her mother’s advice and that of her friends and find out who she really is, decide if all this “love” she is seeking isn’t the kind you get from family, that unconditional all forgiving you have to love me I’m family love. Or is she seeking the kind you would give any and all parts of yourself for?????Now I bet you wish I would abandon you. Thank you, Md
