Jun, Wilson and Elisa had gone to Rachel’s agency for an inside view of the life of a model. They came back in time for dinner and went on and on and on about what fun it was to see Raquel get made up. All the cameras, equipment and lights and general fuss that went into creating the images they saw in the magazines was a huge thrill. Even Jun and Elisa got a little made up and fussed over. Raquel was in full Diva mode as she bitched to the photographers over the shots they were taking of her and the kids. She sent them home for dinner and stayed to work but promised Wilson and Jun she would see them in the morning for breakfast before they caught their flight back to New York.
Raquel finally got home at 2 in the morning and took a long shower with the hottest water she could tolerate. She needed it to help her relax after she found herself over the last 2 days in her own emotional turmoil and needing to deal with knowing she had fallen in love with someone who was truly unavailable for her. She was angry at herself for allowing it to happen. She did not want this right now in her life. There is just always too much drama in relationships and Helena definitely brought that to the forefront. But how could she resist her. She was mesmerizingly beautiful, disarmingly sexy, incredibly sensitive but most of all, absolutely unavailable. But it didn’t matter she didn’t want it. She had other priorities in her life. Helena would just be a distraction and now with all of what was happening, was not the time to be distracted. She was in the process of drying her hair when she heard a knock on her door. Before she could answer, Helena opened the door to let herself in. “I wanted to talk to you before I left. Do you think we can talk?”
Raquel answered her coolly, “I planned to see you at breakfast before you left. Why are you still up?”
“I got up to use the toilet and heard you. Wilson and Jun told me you promised to see them at breakfast. I was hoping I could see you alone before then. I guess it doesn’t matter. I wanted to tell you thanks, we had a really good time. Wilson and Jun could not stop talking about you and the day they had. You’ve certainly made an impression on them. I believe Wilson is totally in love with you.”

It is not yet Saturday morning what are you doing here??????????lol, really glad to see this, I think. I will go read now and rest asure you won’t loose me, who will cry about Raqus in future chapters. BBS. Md
I think I may like Raquel even more! I’m so happy that she was actually pretty open with her emotions, she was smart and didn’t attempt to hide behind being cruel or quickly hooking up with someone else. Helena fully understood where she was coming from…..and the unrequitedness of it…the bittersweetness of it will linger with Helena…she appreciated it and so did I! I can not believe Helena wants to hear Peggy’s uncensored opinion! I don’t see where she will be in Dylan’s corner on this one, Hel! lol! PPS! Ahhhh….there is my song again *dancing*
So well done my friend Squirl, I kinda figured from the start that this was not going to go to far, I am so glad you had them part in good place. Someday maybe they will be able to be friends. Thank you. Md
lovely update i enjoyed the other ending but im also liking this how could i not
Squirly-Whirly! ((: Happy holidays! You know, that was kinda painful to read, especially after reading your previous installments about Raquel. Wow. Ouch. I think this chapter makes me think, like REALLY think, if Helena is really in love with Raquel or on the rebound. Previously, with their connection, I was never left to question much because the feeling which was brought across was that she really felt something for Raquel. Tsk. But I completely understand why Raquel would have reacted both ways to Helena. But sadly enough, -this- is the only way Helena will find a way back to Dylan…if Raquel pushed her away. Now, with that, what does that means then? She needed this push to go back to Dylan? Tsk. I don’t know anymore. All I do know is that I’ve really loved this story and am quite sad to see it ending. Sigh. ((: PPS!
Someone commented on another site about the “heart skipping” issue. She is a Dylena suppporter and was troubled about Helena’s emotions about Raquel. This was my response. I’ll share it with you….It’s funny about the heart skipping thing. I had to read what I had written about them together and what Raquel says about herself to figure out how to break them up. Some things I write knowing I’ll develop it later, like what was on the video, like Raquel being the oldest and taking care of her family. But the heart skipping thing was a recurring thing that I didn’t realize I put in. Before it was always my unconscious way of describing Helena’s response to the excitement of seeing her. Now it’s her heartbreak. (At least I didn’t make her get wet every time she saw her. Somebody else does that ;-))….I tried to keep the emotions of how they feel about each other in this 28/29 the same, but in this one, what they do about it is different. They didn’t sleep together because I think they wouldn’t break up. We hear Raquel’s inner voice and fears more….If Helena is still hung up on Dylan, she will be hurt in the end. So she back pedals and stays the course of just say no. And she KNOWS she’s weak for Helena so she stays far away to not give in to her heart and body. She can’t even face Helena to say goodbye. Poor Raquel is having crushing chest pain right about now but her mind is not willing to let her heart and body take over….What I never develop in the other version because I ended it, is that Dylan has to remain a thorn in Helena’s side, Helena’s not going to forget her that easily. The difference is Helena chooses Raquel and Raquel is determined to win Helena over, to fight for her. So they are on the same tracks…..They feel the same as the last version at this point, it’s just that Raquel is putting on the brakes and stepping out. They are on diverging tracks. But she does give Helena food for thought on the way out. Now she’s the thorn in whatever happens between Dylan and Helena….Now Dylan will have to be the one to fight for Helena’s affection. She’s run before and not wooed Helen. Now Helena has to choose Dylan and let Raquel go…We’ll see how this works out.
I had to catch up on this story and I have to say I was rather disappointed in the first final. I was confused by Helena’s action in the end. Helena left a message on Dylan’s phone saying how much she missed her and wanted to talk to her before she left for her vacation. Her reaction to Dylan’s thanks on the dvd was that of someone still struggling with her feelings. It was obvious she was still in love with Dylan. Helena then has sex with Raquel and all of a sudden she realize she’s in love with this woman and want to make their relationship work when all through out her vacation she couldn’t stop thinking about Dylan. I felt Helena never grew in this story. She was always running and never really dealt with her demons. IMHO Helena loved Raquel but wasn’t in love with her….Raquel was her escape from Dylan. The second ending was more plausible for me because base on Raquel’s personality and pride I don’t think she would have wanted to be with Helena knowing that she was still struggling with her love for someone else.
Hey Retroboogie, thanks for catching up….I missed your comments….I appreciate the comment…I guess if you believe Helena would hold on to a two year old love that crushed her, that she reconnected with for one night over a new person who she has spend substantial amount of time with over the past few months, gotten close to her and her family, who is supportive of her unreconciled feelings about the ex that destroyed her, who is encouraging her to resolve the issue, who makes love intimitely to her when she thinks she is about to lose to her to the ex. I guess if you believe Helena getting over Dylan for someone new who loves her is no growth on Helena’s part, then I can see your point…I think Helena rushing back to Dylan under the circumstance is truly no growth on her part. If I failed to show how Helena would have decided to move on beyond Dylan and that the relationship between Raquel and Helena was more than a one night stand then all of a sudden in love then that’s my failure.I did try to develop the relationship between Raquel and Helena and I think in another comment I mentioned Dylan’s time with Helena has been pretty limited in this story and with Raquel substantial. I actually reqret writing that line “I miss you” when Helena called Dylan because it certainly is very weighty. But in the story time line its 2-3 weeks later and Raquel and Helena have been together almost constantly. I think there is enough going on between the two to help Helena move on past Dylan for the first time. That is the point of the ending A. If I didn’t write it clear enough then.. my bad. I think Helena has grown enough to move on. IMHO
I will not be swayed…I will not be swayed. Oh, alright. I was swayed! Darn Raquel. She’s quite the woman… if only Dylan wasn’t out there. I know, I’m a hopeless. Thanks, Squirl
Hmmmm…well I don’t see Raquel as a quitter, she was the one that spoke of no entanglements from the start, but at the very least Helena needs to sort things out one way or another with Dylan. And it’s good that for starters she’s realized that she overreacted regarding the assistant and that simply because Dylan didn’t discuss her in the limited time Helena allowed her that it amounted to a deception. So let’s see how this works out once Helena deals with things rather than running in fear.
