Summer Vacation. Chapter 14
Lottie nodded, “Um … yeah …”
“Bette wants Angie and I to go too,” Tina added, wondering if Lottie’s reticence was because of that, she frowned watching as Lottie simply nodded again,
Tina touched her arm gently, “Are you okay …?” she asked,
Lottie sat down on the edge of Ruby’s desk, “Yeah … um …” she bent her head forwards, resting her head in her hands where the leant upon her knees as she placed her feet on the edge of Tina’s chair,
“Tina …” Lottie mumbled, “I’m afraid Bette’s going to hate me for messing up her life …”
Bette reviewed the Annual Reports in front of her for the fourth time, now that school was out for the Summer the work in the office had slowed down and Ben was taking a week off to go surfing, giving her much needed peace and quiet. The only sounds came from occasional visits into the staff room by some of the graduates and artists in residence but even their visits were becoming more and more infrequent as the days got warmer and Summer came into full swing. Soon enough Angie would finish school and then Bette would cut back her hours at the office completely …
“Hey …” came a quiet voice from the door,
“Oh hey Al” replied Bette, smiling up at her oldest friend,
“I come in peace …” muttered Alice, holding her hands up in defeat as she made her way to Bette, flopping down on the couch beside her,
“I’m not mad Alice …” replied Bette, amused at how little Alice had changed in all the years they’d known each other, “I know you weren’t fishing …”
“I really wasn’t …” Alice assured, “and I’m as surprised as anyone,”
“Not as surprised as me …” said Bette, casting Alice a knowing look,
“Okay …” agreed Alice, “maybe not *that* surprised, but still shocked … although there really is a lot that’s similar about the two of you …”
“You think??”
“Oh yeah …” replied Alice, “a lot …”
Tina was sure that Bette wasn’t really listening to her, her head was turned slightly and her gaze seemed to be following the path of the sun as it cast a glow across the ripples in the pool where Angie swam,

i love how supportive Tina have been with Bette, Virginia will be a hard time for Bette but i want to know what is waiting for her there. Great post
This is the way Way Bette Tina & Angelica should be like a family unit just amazing story Love It Hope Bette will be Ok. PPS
How crazy to not only find out you have another sibling, but also that there’s (most likely) indispensible wealth available too you…. Glad to see you back, hope to see more very soon. (And I have this feeling Tina can make Bette feel better about EVERYTHING ;) )

Great chapter – beautifully written! Intense stuff to find out about. Can’t wait to see what happens next. Love how carefree Angelica is about everything – just accepting it as it comes…what else can we do. Also love how you show them all caring and loving each other. Thank you!
god women! youre killing us for taking sooooo long.and tina is right everything will be fine baby.p.p.s.
Thanks so much for posrting It hard to believe that Bettes Mother didnt get in touch with Bette after Bette became an adult. That will hurt more than anything else. thanks
Another great chapter. Can’t wait for the next one. PPS :)
Did Maxine leave anything to Bette since she had followed Bette’s life? She knew about Bette in school and her young life right after school. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Good chapter. Are Bette gonna be a Billianiar!
It hard to believe a mother could abandon her child and think that money will make it all better. Interesting to see what Bette reaction will be to her part of the inheritance. PPS
I wonder how much money there is… Peabody amounts of wealth? Ker-ching! I’m actually more interested in seeing how Lottie and Bette make up for the years of not knowing each other existed. Can’t wait for the next chapter, sofa, I was wondering where you’d got to. Cheers
I’m really enjoying this story.
sweet ending…keep writing this lovely loving story.
Great to see another post from you, I’ve missed this story, it’s so wonderful….and Tina is so great :o)) Post soon please, can’t wait for Virginia, but I’m sure Angle will sleep with Lottie and not her moms :o))
This story is great. Humour an intrigue. A great character in Angelica and you have to love Alice! Some nice Bette and Tina scenes too!!
