Summer Vacation. Chapter 10
Bette stirred, hugging Tina close, vaguely aware of the soft conversation drifting through from the kitchen.
“Tee …” she whispered, smiling as Tina mumbled something but refused to wake, Bette shifted her body from under her, sliding out. She grabbed the blanket off the back of the couch and laid it across her, before heading into the kitchen to check on Angie.
“Hey girls,” said Bette, kissing Angie on the top of her curly mop, “how was practice?”
“Great,” said Angie, getting up so her Mom could sit in the chair and pull her up on to her lap, “we painted lots,” she added, proudly displaying the paint splodges all over her arms and face.
“I see that,” Bette said, laughing.
“Mom … can Lottie come to my birthday?” asked Angie
“Of course,” replied Bette, a little startled, she turned to Lottie, “You’re very welcome … it’s the weekend after next,”
Lottie smiled in reply, “I should get going,” she added, finishing off her juice and rising up to leave.
“I saw your painting … for the Archibald Kennedy Prize,” Bette said quickly,
Lottie sat back down, “You did? … how come?”
Shit! thought Bette, Shit! … Shit! … Shit! … how would she explain that without letting her know Tina had spied on her,
“I gave a presentation at NYU when I was in New York …” she said, “to the Arts Faculty … an old friend is the Dean there, he told me about this painting submitted by an artist … who wasn’t really an artist …” Bette paused, “I saw your name there … It was beautiful,” she added.
Lottie blushed, “Thanks … although I wouldn’t exactly say I *wasn’t* an artist …”
“No …?” questioned Bette,
“No … just because I don’t do Art doesn’t mean I don’t still paint …”
Bette frowned, aware of that …
Lottie bit her bottom lip anxiously, “I entered it because it felt right …” she paused, “I painted it because it came to me … and the two things fit together,” she raised her eyes to look at Bette who sat across from her looking intently, discussions surrounding art always evoking strong passions within her …
“It’s along the banks of the Delaware?” said Bette, “yes?”
Lottie nodded, aware what it might mean that she had known that, seen that, she cleared her throat, finding that her voice had got lost somehow,
Now would be the perfect time to say it, why couldn’t she?
“Beside the Ben Franklin Bridge …” she said instead,
Bette smiled, “I grew up there … well … in Philly,” she paused, “I loved the way you merged the time together seamlessly, it was like looking at an old photograph of the place where you’re presently stood, like a picture within a picture … incredible”
Lottie brought her hand to her mouth, amazed by the accuracy of Bette’s description,
“I’m sorry,” said Bette, reaching forward to touch her hand, “did I get it completely wrong?” she asked,
“No …” said Lottie, “no … no you got it completely right.”

I really love this story. It is so well written. I look forward to more posts soon.
i’m torn as to whether this girl is bette’s daughter or sister. i’d think if she’s her daughter, then discussing the painting and her age would have had a different reaction from B; however, this girl has a box of things about bette…does she just want a sister/family that much? or is it her mother (or think she is)… hmmm! like that I can’t guess! pps
I 2nd cdngrl. I too will be waiting for more. I was so excited to see a post from you tonight.
Sofasitter…I am DYING here…please tell us! Those scenes with Bette and Tina were so hot…think of how much hotter they would be if we knew if Bette was Lottie’s mother or sister…actually that didn’t make much sense…but hey I’m desperate. She can’t be a cousin or anything cause you wouldn’t string us along only to find out she is Pookie’s cousin on her mother’s side.
Sofasitter, you’re killing me here! She’s either Bette’s sister or her daughter. The suspense is killing me. The love scenes between Bette and Tina were HOT!!!
LOL @ skycaptain! Pookie’s cousin! I’m dying here sofa. Please Please please post soon! I say Lottie is Bette’s sister from her mother’s side. I think that in order to save your fan’s lives from combustion another chapter will bee needed ASAP!
Loving this story. Patiently waiting for the connection between Lottie and Bette. You do like to torture don’t you? PPS
This is absolutely wonderful. The story just flows seamlessly.
tell her lottie! now-now?????? love this sofa… more,more..please
HOT!
this was great indeed, hot scenes between B&T and interesting to see the bond growing between angie and lottie…i also vote for her being bette’s half sister
Your NC-17 was Just HOT!!!! Please do not keep us waiting much longer we need to know if Lottie is Bette’s daughter or half sister. Please !!!!! PPVS
Dalloway3 I never even thought that Bette could be Lottie’s mother but it does make some sense that it could be possible. Not sure but they are related in some manner (at least I think so). Thanks for the post.
This is a really good story, I keep checking for updates. At first, I thought Lottie is Bette’s daughter, but then, Bette would have caught real quick, so I’m guess she is Bette’s sister, same father; different mom. Only reason for the different mom is there is a 20 year difference between Bette and Lottie. Then, again, I could be wrong. So far, the only connection is that Melvin is the common thread. Interesting! Thank you for sharing your story.
There was nothing wrong and everything right with this chapter for it being your first nc-17. Lottie… sister? daughter? niece? cousin? Who’s that girl? I can’t wait to find out! Nicely done, sofa.
i’m with the others… your killing me here… i don’t think lottie is bette’s daughter… her sister… oh yeah… but not her daughter… so tell us already… let them have there talk…
Now, I’m really looking forward to Lottie revealing her big secret. My own reaction to her surprises me… I really like her, but somehow I’m getting more and more bothered by her constant presence in B&T’s life. Don’t get me wrong, I know you’re getting somewhere and that this natural connection with them all was inevitable, but I guess I’m starting to feel what Tina was feeling. Being bothered by the awkwardness of the whole situation… Come on, spill it Lottie… Who the hell are you??? About the reconnection… well, what can I say… you’ve made my day! Thanks sofasitter, please post soon! Oh and by the way, can’t believe this was your first NC-17…
this story tears us apart of wanting more. you sure can maintain the suspense. it is intriguing and we just want to know all, but patience is a nice vertue, but can also be a pain in the ass. thanks for wonderful moments between b and t.
Freakin’ killing me.
Wow… A good friend of mine suggested this story, and im really going to have to thank her… Its a wonderfull jigsaw of information… Lemme put in my two cents: I think Lottie is Maximes daughter from a later marraige… Wow, you are doing an amazing job, do you know that? so gifted, entangling all the storylines together in one whole… I love it! PPS!
and YOU !!!! r so enjoying torturing us!!! Great NC17….LOVE YOUR CHARACTERS
I’m looking forward to the next chapter already….not being pushy or anything, lmao!!!!!
This is so good and love it!
