Across town at the Planet, Bette, Tina, Tasha, Alice and Jane, a casting agent from the studio were having lunch when Helena and Dylan joined them. Jane looked at Helena and asked, “Are you the one who hooked Tina up with Raquel?”
Helena looked at her unsure of how to answer the question. Jane continued before Helena could speak. “I just want to say thank you. What a God send she is. We were looking for a female lead to compliment Nikki Stevens in a new movie we will be shooting. She didn’t fit the first movie she auditioned for, but we knew she was right for something. She fucking makes love to the camera, she is so sultry when she speaks and moves. When we put the two together, all I can say is, wow! They are so fucking hot together. So thank you for send her our way.”
Helena looked at Tina then at Dylan who was looking away pretending to be uninterested. She turned to Jane and said, “I really had very little to do with it, but you are welcome anyway.”
“Whatever, we are excited to welcome her to the Shoalin family. If this film goes as well as we think it will, she might be our new ‘it girl’.
Helena could see Dylan’s obvious discomfort with the topic and proceeded to change the topic quickly. She slipped her hand over her troubled lover’s to reassure her. The topic of discussion moved on to the party, politics, the weather just about anything but definitely not Raquel.
Helena spent most of the day before the party at the restaurant, anxiously going over final preparations. Dylan went into some old familiar stumping grounds in South Central. She found several of the families she chronicled and updated them about the documentary and the Oscar nomination. They were thrilled about the film and admitted they had already had copies of it, although it had not had its official DVD release. They were proud of her over the nomination and promised to watch the event although it was something they ordinarily found boring and tedious. Dylan invited a few of her former friends to the after party but warned them this was seriously high-end and probably snobbish. In other words, if you come, make sure your hair, dress and shoes were right and don’t come packing. They had a great time reminiscing about the times Dylan hung out with them and mourned some of the sisters who ran into the wrong end of a gun or the wrong side of the law. Dylan met Jelani, the son of her friend Sumatra, who survived the death of his mother. It was hard to look him in the eyes because he had his mother’s big brown doe eyes. She wished she could have done something but all she could do that night was call 911 when his mother was shot. She was 23 and 8 ½ months pregnant when she was shot and killed. He was born by a emergency C-section and spent almost a month in the neonatal ICU. His life was miraculously spared but hers was lost. The violent ending still haunted her after all this time. He was a very active kid that lived up to the meaning of his name, “mighty.” She watched him with sadness as he ran around with his play gun pretending to shoot the bad guys and ‘pigs’. It seemed that in so many ways her life had changed but for much of them, everything was the same.

You have me nervous that something’s going to happen to Dylan in Africa. Maybe Helena should go with her to make sure she’s safe. I couldn’t bear to see Helena broken-hearted again if something happened!
Yes, Raquel is the “it” girl, going back to read the rest now, Thanks Squirl. Md
Did you really end it there?! lol! Grrrr! Raquel playing opposite Nikki…hmmm. I do love Dylena…but “Tall and tan and young and lovely…” lol!
Oh Squirl your poor Helena is going to get burned no matter what. If Dylan couldn’t tell Helena about the note because of jealousy she should at least recognise that her dream is screaming at her not to keep those kinds of secrets. Is that woman ever going to grow a pair and spill her feelings before it is to late? Now about the “it” girl, she still needs a situation and I am still here just in case. Good Luck to you tomorrow Squirl I’ll be thinking of you. Thank you, Md
Good luck tomorrow tomorrow and a speedy recovery.If my girl hadnt torn up the noteor if she had told Helenawhat she did. Hang her head,you can’t build trust like that. Will she tell Helena and risk losing her,or will Raquel ask Helena about the letter??Lose Helena over omission? Gee, just hope my girl Dylan is not going to burn bridges. Is she going tocome back or get hurt badly on her trip? Be safe tomorrow. thanks
The winner better be Dylan – goodness how I would have loved to see her in that rent-a-dress. Ahhh…I can imagine the two of them together at the awards. Freakin’ awesome! Okay so Dylan needs to stay away from all the lions, tigers, and large beasts she sees in Africa. Racquel needs to forget that she left Helena a note. And Helena – she just needs to remember how good the O’s are with Dylan. Let’s wrap this party up with some hot Dylena action! (Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Squirl! I’m sending out positive energy)
and the winner is DUMBO!!!!!
Will that be enough for Dylan to chill? Oh she of little faith. And she’s got a gown for the big night, Helena’s got a new ring, but what about Dylan’s accessories? And no doubt the new It girl (does Raquel have any idea who Clara Bow was?) will be at the Shaolin party.
Wow. I think the winner is Dylan. Laughs. For a multitude of reason. The part about the ring was beautiful; kinda reminds me of when my girl gave me our ring and cheekily asked me which “hand” I would wear it on. (: Then she told me she hope I’d wear it on my left. Yes, indeed reserved for those special commitments. (: Beautifully written as always. PPS! (:
woah so much is happening..my head is in turmoil something tells me there are gonna be a few ups and downs before they are completely as one.Great job as always
