No Me Ames; #21
I shook my head, “I wish I knew…but I am excited. I don’t know how to explain it…but it’s like…she’s still around…she’s still talking to me, she’s still doing things with me,” I burst out laughing, “I must sound like an idiot, but I’ve missed her so much that…”
“We know, Hels,” Alice replied, “We know you miss her. We miss her too.”
“She must have put in a lot of effort into this,” Tina added, “Now that’s love.”
“It’s like something out of a movie.”
I smiled, “I’ll definitely let you know when the first letter arrives.”

I liked having something to look forward to; rushing home as month end drew near to check my mailbox. The rush of adrenaline and anxious anticipation kept me on my toes.
I carried the iPod with Bette’s voice recording around with me; it was like an anecdote for those especially lonely, depressing days. Just the sound of her voice brought an easy smile to my face. There was never a day that I didn’t miss her.
Business at Dragonfly had been particularly busy and with our new branch recently opened at the other end of town, Alice and I were exceptionally busy. We were thankful to have Carmen and Lara manning the other outlet.
“Ok, what else do we have planned for the rest of the month?” I asked Alice as I flipped through our order book, “I believe from last I checked, we have another two weddings to cater this week; one on Friday and one on Sunday. Oh, and we also have that Bauer birthday bash on Wednesday…”
I heard Alice giggle and I looked up to find her grinning widely at her mobile phone. Ignoring her, I continued, “So that means we have three cakes to make this week. On Lara’s end, she’s told me that…”
Alice let out another giggle, one that I could not ignore, “Al? Is something up?”
She laughed again.
“Alice?” I asked, my voice raised slightly.
Alice looked up at me, realizing that I was talking to her, “Oh, sorry Hels. I was listening…I was!”
“Really?” I asked, “What did I say?”

Your writing gives me a severe case of gluttonitis…I could just eat it up all day and all night and all of tomorrow! Yummy! Good stuff! I loved giggly Alice telling Hel about Dana…I loved little Becky who has moved past meatloaf to chicken and veggies…and I’m really really intrigued by this trip to Bali that will be ensuing with Tina! **Gulp**…**licking my lips**…More please and thanky, euni!
Hey there cousin, my Uncle was a cool man;) Well I am glad that Helena was finally working and that business was thriving, she was living for a reason her daughter, buss,friends and for Bette’s letters and surprises. So glad that Al mentioned Tina, she really has helped Helena and Becky and find it perfect. Really enjoyed this chapter cousin,,,,,,
Nice vacation coming up. Will we be seeing the start of HeleTina. Tilena? They have been pretty close.
ummmm Tina? It’s not a bad idea. After all she is family too. Welcome bck missed this story. Missed more Bette. Can not get over the fact that se will not see Becky growing. PPVS
Well this is progressing nicely… Tina sounded a bit reluctant so maybe she’s not feeling as strongly toward Helena as I thought. The sun and winds of Bali will weave their magic on these two I predict… More soon, Euni! :>)
some things have changed but i still think that bette is there everyday with helena PPS ive emailed u check ur inbox
Loved the update E…and of course you can abbreviate my sign on…it is lenghthy, eh (LOL). I would like an H and Tasha story…something about a pairing with Tina wouldn’t feel right…I can understand how it would happen…but it doesn’t feel right!!! As usual loved it MORE please!!!
Bette is such a romantic to even think about stuff like that while being sick. So Tina is going to join them huh, does this mean you are going to introduce us to some Heletina or will it be too soon and we might end up with some Heletash (geez that doesn’t even sound right LOL)
