“You’re her colleague?” Tina continued.
“She’s her boss,” Bette answered, a note of distain in her voice.
I looked up, frowning at her.
“Oh,” Tina replied, “You’re Helena’s boss? Doesn’t that complicate matters at the work place?”
“I’m very distinct about seperating my private and professional life,” Tash answered as Tina raised an eyebrow, before turning to Bette and smiling again.
I looked at Tash, grateful to have her there to keep the conversation over our shared meal continuous. I spoke, much less than I normally would. Although she was smiling and laughing through-out the evening, I caught these brief moments that she’d look at me, her eyes filled up with that unspoken sadness again.
Then she was smile and turn back towards Tina, and they’d exchange that look of complete adoration.
I wonder if she knew how much it killed me softly inside to watch them together.

“How you doing?” Tash asked as she walked me back to my apartment.
I smiled and shrugged, “I know she’s happy, Tash.”
“Have you ever thought about telling her how you feel?”
“That’s impossible,” I said, “There are just so many things that have happened between us that right now, it would be wrong of me to demand anything more out of our friendship than what already is there.”
“I’m not going to ask for the details,” she said, turning to take my hands in hers and looking me in the eyes, “But Helena, if you’re not happy, then this is not the way to go about living your life. When someone starts keeping secrets and emotions from the ones they care about, it grows inside of them and festers. Then all you’ll become at the end of it all is someone who’s just angry at the world.”
Tears started to well in my eyes, “She’s happy, Tash, I can’t ruin that for her.”
“What makes you think she’s really happy?”
I looked up at her, her brown eyes filled with concern, but I couldn’t find any words to answer her question.
“Don’t assume you know things that you might not know anything about,” she said, pulling me close and enveloping me in a hug.
I closed my eyes, sinking into the warmth of her embrace.
“Thank you, Tash,” I whispered, “Thank you for understanding, for listening, and for being here.”
We stood outside my apartment, and we stayed lost in that moment for a long time.
I really hoped that someday, Tash would find the happiness she deserves.
◊◊◊
Tash offered to give me some time alone and I took a long warm shower before crawling into bed.
I lay awake for a very long time, before drifting off into a restless slumber.
It felt as if I was lucid dreaming, because I suddenly heard my mobile ring.
“H…He…Hello?” I said, my voice still rough from sleep.
“Helena,” I heard Bette’s voice say, “I’m sorry, were you sleeping.”
“Yea, it’s ok,” I replied, “I’m up, you ok? Where are you?”
“I’m at home,” she said.
“Oh, where’s Tina?”
“I sent her back, I think I needed some…time. I needed some time.”
I detected a note of uncertainty in her voice, “What’s wrong?” I asked.
“Helena, there are some things I want to…we need to talk.”

Hopefully Bette and Helena will straighten out this mess and stop acting like scared teenagers.
That was lovely…eww on tina…seriously, i hate it when people get all giggly and googly and all “love at first sight” thats gross….lol…pps
Hey Baby, I hope that Tasha’s presence ‘wakes’ Bette up. We need some Bette and Helena loving soon =)
Ditto on everyone’s comments, except JC’s you just have to take him with a HUGE grain of salt…I am feeling the angst. This story is very surprising with all the twists you throw at us so I am making no assumptions…ppS
Oh it just gets better and better…I must say, I don’t really like the Tina in this one so for a die hard tibetter…I am finding it very intising the Belena relationship..hats off to you babe…Cant wait as always, you keep me glued to my laptop..PPS…
It’s about time these two really talk. They are going to talk, right? Someone has to come clean. Please I’m begging here! And by the way I totally enjoyed this update.
Oh that was SO good! How friggin awkward was that dinner? I would have been dying if I was Helena. My poor girl. Thanks again to Tasha for being there for her and taking control of everything. So, now, the talk… what will they discuss? Is it what we all hope for… or, is it something totally out in left field? Like… ‘Tina and I want to move in together…what do you think?’ Gawd, I hope that’s not it. OK, just put me out of my misery and post like sometime real soon…. PPPPPlease! =) I’m trying to figure out the time difference so that I can ditch work and come online to read it when you post again. If this isn’t a big @ss hint I don’t know what is. LOL! I’m hoping you are going to post again today. Oh you are?!!!! GREAT!!!!!! =)
Ohhhhhh I just had a really bad feeling. I had to come back and comment on it. I think I am SO not going to like this Tina. I think she is going to be a total Biatch! I think she can figure out what’s going on with Belena and she is SO not having it. She thinks that she can keep Bette. I wonder if she’ll go so far as trying to keep them away from each other, you know…. put some distance in their friendship? Oh damn! I think Tina is DRAMA in the making. Now, I guess I’ll have to wait and see if I am reading that ‘smirk’ and total exaggeration of their first meeting correctly. I think she is trying to make Bettina a lot more romantic than it really is. Hmmmmmm….. Let the games continue.
Hello My Beautiful Dragonfly… Tasha really knows how to take charge and just handle a situation… but there is something off with her… she offers this great advice and yet she is just as capable of hiding her ‘hurt’ and ‘suffering’ showing it and taking it away… hmmmm I don’t think this is going to turn into the conversation that ‘Helena’ might be expecting… I’m thinking maybe ‘Bette’ is going to reveal the truth to ‘Tina’ as she can’t keep such a secret from the woman she ‘loves’ or she is going to tell ‘Helena’ that she is moving… but for some reason they are playing cat and mouse with their feelings… and maybe the despair of losing ‘Bette’ might just send ‘Helena’ back to comforting grounds… hmmmmm… and if that happens what will ‘Bette’ feel when she finds out this time it was ‘her’ fault… you completely amaze me and inspire me… any writer that can get their readers minds working in such a fashion is a masterpiece in motion… keep on rocking… love and hugs, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels)
Hey You… ummmm go to the ummm ‘Ship’ thread in the forums and take a lookie… I think you might see something you like… :P, hugs, JC
Its me again… ummmm is it tomorrow yet cause I am super anticipating the next chapter if your little note is any indication it should be a dozy… ummmm yeah *sits here willing time to go by faster… tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow… did it work is it tomorrow yet* LOL, hugs, JC
So ummmm… that would constitute that you are holding out on ‘us’ but more importantly… “ME” it is already tomorrow and you are holding out… pffftttt… yeah… I see how this all works… pffttt… I’m so selfish… yeah yeah yeah… pfftttt… well I’m only counting your first one (and my first one) cause well this is fun and I might just happen to drop by and ya know… drop by LOL… hugs, JC
Oh my, does my comment count as ONE PAGE? (; Laughs. Damn, what is the time difference between where you are and where I am? Laughs. Coz from where I am, it’s tomorrow already. (; Haha.
Hi, dearest E! *waving with enthusiasm* Yep. Someone told us you needed some support to increase the pages on the story that our nephew JC was going to write just for you. Sooo, here is our fair share. Hahaha You know we are true Tibetters, but we are also hooked on this story, due to the beautiful way you are telling it. The way you have described Helena’s character has been a pleasant surprise. We wish the show could portray the kind and tender Helena that you have brought to life. Thanks for this chappy. It really increases our expectations as to where Bette and Helena really want to unveil their hidden inner feelings. Hugs and kisses on both your cheeks. – Lucero & Marsha (JC’s Salsa Aunties)
