Tina reached across to caress Helena’s cheek tenderly. “I want to spend my life with you…I do” Tina struggled to clarify “but I know that if I don’t do this now, on my own…then eventually it will poison what we have, and I couldn’t bear that.”
Tina paused, frustrated “I can’t explain to you why I have to do this on my own…I just know…deep in my bones, that this is my path…and mine alone. I’m sorry, baby…I wish I could explain it to you better.”
Tina gently brushed the falling tears from Helena’s cheek. “I will come back for you….please believe that”
Helena placed her hand over Tina’s, cradling it to her face, a small flicker of hope shining in her tear filled eyes. “When? When will you come back?”
“Baby, you know that I don’t have an answer for that question,” Tina replied. “And, I know I have no right to ask you to wait for me…” “I will understand if you need to move on.” A flash of pain crossed Tina’s face, as she pictured her love happy in the arms of another. “But, please know…that if you can wait for me, then the day I walk off the plane at The Palm Beach airport, is the day we start our lives together.”
The spark continued to flicker in Helena’s eyes, as she fought an internal battle of hope against finality. “I love you with all that I am Tina. I hope to raise a family with you someday.” She smiled sadly. “But, you’re asking me to wait for you…to put our future plans on hold, so that you can fulfill a dream….a dream, that from where I’m sitting, could have no end.” She let her hand fall back into her lap, cutting her physical contact from her love. “Where do I fit in with that scenario…and yet at the same time, how do I move on from you?” She asked, torn by her love, and her fear….the strength of both emotions tearing her apart.
“I don’t know” whispered Tina brokenly.
Helena lowered her head, staring at her hands laying listlessly in her lap. Tina moved her hand from Helena’s cheek, grazing her full lips, as she placed her hand under Helena’s chin, lifting it. She straightened her back, bracing herself for the evidence of all the pain she was causing this wonderful woman, knowing it would be reflected in her expressive brown eyes.

Can I just say to Seahurst and TBSaver that it is a pleasure to read the collaboration of two such talented authors. Seahurst, I have not been shy in my praise for your talents and it is a blessing to see you expressing yourslef through the written word again. You have been missed and I thank TB for drawing you back to the keyboard.
Intriquing beginning – where will you two wizards of words take us? I will follow even if it’s Tina and Helena.
Wow!! This mademefeel a lot better. This is gonna be awesome.
OMG! I come back from Cleveland and I find this amazing beginning, to what I know will be a wonderful story. You two….we can’t wait for more.
As the self-nominated, self-proclaimed president of the Seahurst Fan Club, i’m behind this collaboration 1000% Thank you tb for encouraging madam seahurst to write again. Fabulous story and truly wonderful writing. Thank you both.
WOW this must be a fucking dream??
first off thanks to T for bring miss seahurst out of hiding I guess I wasn’t special enought for her to do it when I asked. just kidding. HAHA hella just can’t have tina in anyones story. maybe you can spread the word that I’m single and she could come shower me with all that money. just a thought. hmm so much to say, but I need to take a breath and come back. more comments after my second reading.
WHOA! That was so Beautiful Story Hey Seahurst and TBSaver I Love it guys really Wonderful Story Please continue I can’t wait the next chapter Please post soon Thanks.
wow – all our monitors should be melting with seahurst and tb on the same screen. i mean – is it gonna be a buckle up, white knuckle kinda ride. drama flowing out of our very beings. the kind where were just screaming at our monitors cuz you just broke out hearts. lol or the other kind. not sure that that is, though. ;) so looking forward to this. wonderful, detailed and expressive writing. oh the joy. thanks for nudging seahurst. dont neglect your other story, tb. ;D

Two of my favorita Authors. How lucky can we get. What will Tina do, How will Helene react to ,what she will tell her, Will she follow Bette only you two can answer this. LOve this chapter THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING
a great start ladies, and tb….you managed to drag seahurst out of hiding, good on you kiddo. Roll on the next chapter!
A beautifully written beginning by two extremly talented authors. It is truly a gift for everyone that you are sharing your story with us. I’m not usually one to comment, however, after reading this I felt obligated to tell you just how wonderful it is and also to encourage you to please continue.
And on a second note, can I tell you that I just about had a heart attack when I realized it was Helena that Tina was talking to and not Bette! Thankfully you redeemed yourselves at the end of the chapter! You had me worried for a minute there. Although, with a name like TBSaver, I should have known better than to doubt you girls. I’ll be anxiously awaiting your next post!
Ok, I have been given an early Xmas present, 2 of my favorite writers collaborating! Today is a beautiful day! And, on top of it, I get another B&T beginning! I love the twist in the story. I am definitely waiting for updates to this story. Wonderful beginning, btw. Thanks for another B&T story. I cannot get enough of my favorite characters/couple!
What a pleasant surprise to see two of my favorite authors combined!! Awesome start guys, I really can’t wait to see where you’re leading us on this journey!
Whoa…*blinking eyes repeatedly*…*shaking head, blinking eyes, again*. Who says miracles don’t happen! Seahurst AND TBSaver, together??!! Yesssssss!
I fell for it hook, line and sinker. Sucked into thinking it was Bette, that Tina was talking to at the airport. Dang, you guys are good.
A great beginning. Each of you has a gift for describing the small things that bring the surroundings to life and give the characters depth. The masterful way that you weave emotional turmoil and romance together has left me breathless in all of you combined stories. You each have so much talent individually and combining that talent will simply be cosmic. I am looking forward to seeing all of this play out. Our beloved Bette and Tina are in capable hands.
Bette&Tina in Barcelona??? That´s funny. Let them speak some words in catalan. That would be even funnier. By the way, Barcelona international airport it´s called El Prat de Llobregat. It´ll be interesting to see what you´ve thought about their doing in there.
This story is going to be interesting.
Thank you.
What a special treat miss Seahurst and TBsaver writing together…very nice ladies. The story is amazing soo keep it up and do post soon
My seatbelt is buckled and I’m ready for the ride.
With you 2 ladies writing together, there’s no telling where you’re going to take us; but wherever it is….I’m ready to go.
Talk about a dream team… Can’t wait to continue following this wonderful story from a dynamic duo!
