Summer Vacation. Chapter 18
Roger shifted uncomfortably, “The sixties …” he began, “it was an uneasy time … a young wealthy white woman marrying an older African-American … people would have talked … your grandfather was *very* traditional”
“What *people*” spat Bette, indignant
Roger sighed, “Don’t shoot the messenger …” he paused, holding his hands up to her in defeat, “Look, none of it mattered to Maxine, she never saw colour …” he added, his eyes becoming misty as he spoke with love and affection of his adored friend, “people were all the same to her … African, Italian, Jewish … Irish … and your father was her world … all their artist and musician friends …” he tailed off, not sure how to finish,
Bette smiled at the accurate description, remembering how all her life her father had made sure to surround them with beautiful things, she wondered again how her mother could ever have let that go … no matter what he did …
“So what …?” grumbled Bette … “they disowned her … just like that?”
Roger shrugged, “Your grandfather gave her a choice, the life she was born into … or the life she chose …”
“She couldn’t have both …”
Roger shook his head,
Bette paused, “Did she come back here for the money?” she asked quietly, wondering if any mother could be callous enough to trade her child for a wealthy lifestyle,
Roger laid both hands flat upon the table, “She had money when she came back … yes … but she didn’t take a stake in the trust until a year or so after Charlotte was born …” he paused, drawing in a deep breath, “your grandfather made her prove herself, it wasn’t easy for her to come back – he made sure of that, after your grandmother passed away he went through every available relation there was to take her place, Maxine’s cousin took the stake initially but was killed shortly after in Vietnam so he went higher, an aunt … a second cousin … all of them dead now …” Roger admitted,
“Why not her?” Bette asked,
“He was punishing her, for leaving, for making her choice, the Admiral could be a cold harsh man …” Roger explained,

Lottie has an evil streak…..evil but also cute!! PPS
Lottie and Jo, sittin’ in a tree… ok, I just turned into an eight yr old… And how anyone could ever think Bette Porter is wrong for ANYTHING is beyong me. Angie’s adorable. And I’m SO glad Bette and Lottie are going to ‘try again.’ PPS!
Sorry about the hangover but good too see a post!
I would hate to get in the way of those two sisters. When they put their heads together the world will be turning a different direction. I hope that in the letter it states that Maxine loved Bette with all of her heart and that one day she could take her rightful place in the family.
How on earth do you manage to fit so much story on a single page? I’m always really pleased to see you’ve posted, but I was like, “aww, man” when I saw this chapter was just 1 page (yes, I’m greedy… grateful, but greedy)… then forgot about the length as I was reading. You’ve managed to get some torrid sex in, step Jo and Lottie’s relationship a notch, disclose more of Maxine’s past, and maybe get Bette and Lottie seeing eye to eye, all in a one-er. That was a *great* post, I can’t wait for more at this point. Thanks, sofa.
I am so into Lottie…love the story so more soon pleasz
hey i love this story… so glad betee went back to lottie… and now between the two of them they can tackle the world…
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!… And gosh was it worth it!!!! Wow… Can’t believe that you managed this hot hot hot beginning and then went on with such an interesting follow up of the intrigue… Well done!!! I really like the pace you’re going and the info you’re giving away…It really all makes sense and you’re not making things too easy for either Bette or Lottie, which keeps us hooked (that’s a lie, you know what actually hooks me to your story… Starts with a “B” and ends with a “T”!)… And by the way, i have to raise my voice and agree with NYGayLady… Never seen anything as RIGHT as Bette Porter!!!… Thanks Sofa, thanks a lot!
Oooo loves this story, it’s so great and diffirent….and your writing is great, you’re really talented. Loved the chocolate mousse part and the fact that Lottie & Jo have a date, YAY!!! LOL. Lottie & Angie are sweet together, Lottie is with this family to stay. Post soon please :o))

Way to go Lottie – a teenage chip of the Bette Porter block!!!!!!
Great story with our wonderful Bette and a younger version of her in the same story!
