Ok, I admit it…. I’ve fucked her, it was great, it was funny, and it was in some way different… but we never felt for each other. Confessed Bette.

I’ve had some Anas in my life too,… Helena felt comfortable, both had pasts and other women had fucked them. There was nothing to be ashamed of or to be afraid of.

Silently the waiters had served them their meals, everything looked and smell so nice that they started to eat.

Helena, do you remember the conversation we started at the opera? Watching Helena blushing Bette understood Helena was thinking about the sex chat. Not about sex, that one later… about regretting the date. Helena nodded in silence allowing Bette to go on with her thoughts and feelings. I’m having a lot of fun, I’m… I’m so comfortable, just like if we simply fit together. It’s like that puzzles Angelica does, that in which she had to find the other half of an apple, or pineapple, or banana, to make the fruit ok, are you following me? Again Helena nodded. I’m telling you all this because every second that passes by I feel more confidence about this, and I want you to be sure that you feel the same.

Helena took a sip of wine and smiled. At the beginning of the date I was so scared, my heart was about to explode, believe me, and it was not for a short time that I’ve been scared of doing this, since the first time we agreed on having a date I’ve been frozen. I’ve thinking about us, about Tina, about what my mom would thought, about how my children would react… and about what would happened if this had been a complete failure. This night, I’ve had those feelings again, stronger than ever but then at the perfect moment you held my hand. I was feeling I was lost in the multitude and I was starting to think so many things that my brain was hyperactive not even remembering to ask my lungs to breath. Then your touch, you hand holding mine,… my brain suddenly stopped and all the things crossing my mind disappeared, my breath became regular, and I felt that everything I feared could be real, but it could also be real that you and I could be together in a deeper way than our actual friendship. If you want to know if I regret dating you, my answer is no, what I regret is not having asked you a date long before.
