No Me Ames; #23
“Mama, come here and watch me dance,” she said.
“I’ll be right there, baby,” I replied before turning back to Tina, “I guess…I guess maybe we can continue this conversation later?”
“Of course,” Tina replied with a smile, “Later.”
I nodded before walking to Becky.
An unfamiliar feeling washed over me; the partial conversation with Tina left me wondering. What was she going to tell me, and why was it making me feel so nervous.
I gave myself a mental shake, trying to push my wandering thoughts to the back of my head.
***
That brief moment I shared with Tina still lingered in my mind. What was this curious emotion that had coursed through my veins when she held me close? I could still feel the place where her hand pressed against my dress. But for now, we walked back to the villa in silence, partially because Becky had dozed off as I carried her; her steady breathing relaxed me.
Tina opened the door to the villa and I smiled at her before walking to the bedroom to tuck Becky into bed. I dropped her shoes onto the floor and left the door slightly ajar before joining Tina back in the living room area.
The beautiful day had morphed into a glorious night; the sky was filled with stars and a crescent moon hung askew amongst midnight.
“Would you like a drink?” Tina asked, gesturing to the bar.
“Sure,” I replied, slightly nervous, “What are you having?”
Tina looked into the fridge, pulling out a glass bottle, “Probably vodka.”
“That would be great,” I said, sitting down and pushing my hair behind my ear.
She prepared the drinks and handed me a glass; our fingertips brushed slightly and I felt myself blush, “Thanks,” I told her as she sat down at the other end of the sofa, “So…what was it that you wanted to tell me just now?”
Did I really want to know?
Tina simply threw me a small smile before sipping her drink, “Did you have fun today?” she asked.
I was thrown by her change of topic.
“I had a wonderful day,” I managed to reply, taking in a deep breath, “Thank you.”

Hello My Beautifully Inspiring Cuzzie… “Then, I remembered my promise to her; no questions asked.” that holds so much promise… so many emotions… so much fear and so much hope all wrapped together… you never cease to amaze me with your poetry of words as they assault the mind and create vivid images of pure emotion… saying goodbye is the hardest thing and sometimes we don’t always get there… but sometimes we have to move on and move forward in order to honor those that we truly love and cherish… you are amazing my beautiful cuzzie. Love and Hugs, Always and Forever, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels, your ever proud and inspired Cuzzie, Cuzzie to the ever beautiful TMuse, Cuzzie to the rockin Patty and ever vigilant fanner of the amazing and talented Deean)
It’s so hard to say goodbye, but yet it’s something we all will do. I’m truly amazed how well Bette knew her wife. And the loved they shared didn’t just end in death. It has transpired far beyond that. To love and to be love is one of the ultimate joys of life. And I’m glad to be a part of this journey, that you are taking us on. Excellent update Eunichick!
Amazing as always, Euni. I wonder what happened to Tina on the vacation – she obviously retreated from her intent to tell Helena how she felt. I don’t know why, but I think that Tina is actually the delivery person for Bette. I think Bette saw the two of them interact while she was alive and realized that they would comfort each other after she was gone. Tina’s connection with Angelica seems so wonderfully innocent and carefree. Perhaps they will wind up as a family. I hope you post again soon…I have missed the story!
Moving on is bloody hard, but Bette’s letters seem to come at the right time. And at least Helena’s got a good support network behind her, not to mention a couple of really nice women interested in her. This is a great story, sad but uplifting at the same time. Thanks for the chapter.
Moving on is so hard,I keep tell myself to do so. My husband closet is still shut. Maybe next Tuesday. I did clean out mine and got rid of a lot of clothes. Tina would be the perfect one for Helena,and Becky. Going forward sometimes is hard, Helena should ask for help. Tina maybe???
Hey you! I miss you and this story! :)It really is hard to let go. I am still not sure if it’s ok for me to have my dead love of my life help me move along. I might not be too strong for that and just weep.
Euni thank you so much for the shout out on my birthday, it was today the 25th :) and I had a wonderful day! Now lets get to the story at hand, I am glad that Bette left Helena a note that it was time to give her clothes away. I wish my Aunt would do that cause my Uncle has passed away almost two years, you never forget the memories but it’s time to let go of the personal things of your loved ones. I am thinking Bette knew her wife all too well and it had to be her to tell Helena it was time to start new and maybe find another love, be who it may be.
Hey..I like the developing chemistry between H and Tasha. Was Tina going to tell H that she has been Bette’s courier or is she really attracted to H – that’s certainly not hard to do…looking forward to where you rake us!! Cheers
Hey im sorry ive totally like M.i.a’d on you…but wow i mean that was so heart felt when i read it i felt like it was me there as helena.you have made this story so heartfelt and warm it makes you think of all the important things in life.you should really check your emails.take care C, x
I love this story, and hope there will be another chapter soon.
Hi, dear sweet niece of ours! We remembered a song that the words said: “There is a time for grief, a time for mourning and a time to move on”. We do not remember the name of the composer, as our German friend Al and last name Zheimer, does not help us to do that properly. Bette was wiser enough to know exactly what Helena would do, once she was gone. Sooo, we will let you to take us on this journey and leave it all to you. However, we may say that if Helena does not move on, she will grow bitter inside. We need NEW love, so our lives can get richer and fruitful. Otherwise, Helena will be reduced to be Becky’s mom, only. She still needs someone who can bring joy and happiness to her life, besides her daughter. More as an individual. PPS Hugs & kisses on both your cheeks.- Lu & Marsh (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick and Tias Adoradas to Patpez) P.S. Thanks for taking care of your prima PP. *wink*
Hello eunibaby, thanks for another update of this sad but wonderful story. Letting go is indeed the hardest thing to do, my mom passed away 7 years now and I still havent been able to get myself to clean out her closet and get rid of her clothes, maybe some day I will get the courage and do it. I know Bette wants Helena to move forward and not mourn all the time but I still think you can’t force someone to do something they are not ready for yet. I’m sure that if it were Bette she wouldn’t be able to get rid of Hel’s things so soon after her death either. But because of her promise Hel(s will go through with it, that’s just not right.I am with the others in thinking that Tina is indeed the messenger of all Bette’s surprises after all she knows Hel’s the best. Can’t wait to find out if we’re right. PPS
no tasha, helena and tina please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
