Tina gazed at her, “Are you really upset about Lottie?”
Bette’s face changed, incorporating a mixture of regret and self-reproach,
“Bette …” said Tina,
Bette frowned, “What did I do that was so wrong?”
Tina lay her head against Bette’s chest, realising that this particular post-mortem would not be over and done with quickly, she sighed, “I guess you might have got a bit carried away with your own feelings and kind of overlooked Lottie’s in the process?”
Bette raised Tina’s head to look into her eyes, “I did?”
Tina nodded, “A bit …”
Bette sighed, “I didn’t mean to”
Tina cupped her face between both hands as Bette’s body took her full weight, “I know, but you have a very full life …” she said, staring deep into Bette’s eyes, “a fantastic and well loved life,” she added, calming Bette’s fears with her fingers and her words, “you’re talking about lost opportunities and missed time when Lottie’s at that age where she’s still trying to figure out who she is, she’s feeling vulnerable …” Tina paused, “her losses are that much more acute …”
Bette nodded, “So really what you’re saying is, I shouldn’t have been worried about upsetting him, I should have been worried about upsetting her …?”
Tina nodded,
Bette rolled her onto her back quickly and kissed her passionately before turning and leaping out of the bed, Tina groaned, covering herself up with the sheet, left horny and dissatisfied,
Bette threw on some pants and a sweatshirt, “I have to go …” she said, kissing Tina on the forehead, “I have to speak to her …”
Tine muttered silent curses at Bette, pulling the sheet up over her head to hide her frustration,
Twenty minutes later she was just about to fall into restful sleep when the phone on the bed side table rang,
“Hey … it’s me …” said Bette, slightly breathless, “she’s not at the hotel and she’s not answering her phone,” she paused, moving on again before Tina had a chance to rouse herself and speak, “do we know where Jo Parkes lives?” Bette asked,
Tina rubbed her eyes sleepily, “No … um … I don’t know, I don’t think so,”
“Fuck!” said Bette,
“Maybe Alice knows?” Tina suggested, “they hang out don’t they …?”
“Already tried her …” said Bette, clearly back in the car and driving again, “she’s not picking up?”
Tina sighed, “Bette come home, you can talk to her tomorrow, I want to go to sleep”
“I will …” said Bette, “I am … I’m just gonna call by Al’s first and see if she’s heard from her”
Tina groaned, “Argh …”
Bette stood in the dark corridor of Alice’s apartment block, letting herself in that far with her own key, she knocked on the door sharply, hoping to be loud enough that an irritated Alice would get out of bed but not so loud that her neighbours would wake up,
She knocked again, louder this time,
“Alright, alright …” came Alice’s voice from inside, “Jesus … Bette …? … what the fuck?”
“You’re not in bed?” said Bette, surprised by Alice’s normal dress,
Alice shook her head, “And?” … she looked at Bette, amused, “are we the bedtime police now?”
Bette frowned, “I called you, I’m looking for Lottie …” she paused, glancing at the floor, “I think we had a fight, she left, I wanted to make sure she’s okay but she’s not at the hotel and I don’t know where Jo lives …” she said, running all her words together quickly,
Alice stepped aside, “Bette … calm down, she’s here …”

well this is fantastically well written. the only problem with it is that helena and bette aren’t together. *slapping knee* no, but seriously, this is really really good. i’m going to have to go back over it all and refresh my understandings of the characters, but this is definately phase 1 of my tibette research. no, you have not captured me onto your ship–i just happen to love your writing sofa!
Fantastic update. Bette doesn have a tendency to take over, but at least Tina helped her realize it. That was a different Melvin. Lottie and Joe are so cute.
aahhhh, another post…thanks!!
Well you can’t just stop there. Cliffies are only fun when you are the one writing them. PPS.
lol at frustrated tina. great chapter!
ya a post…..little old T horny and frustrated….. B should have to pay for that and not necessarily in a good way. T should make her work for it, really work for it!!! SOOOO LOOKING FORWARD TO UR NEST POST!!!
Fantastic Sofa! Gosh I really enjoy this story! I thought for sure you were going to add some type of twist with Melvin! lol I would like to meet Lottie’s father and him and Bette have a go. But I am guessing if it happens it won’t be for a while. Post soon and I am sure you will do fine on your finals!
One more thing, call me childish but whenever you reference Lisa in the looney bin I chuckle. It’s not funny, but it’s funny considering her occupation. :)
Thanks for the update.
ok, had to chuckle at helebette’s ‘research’… you know she secretly rides this ship. ;) Fantastic as usual, my partner in Tibette crime. Now let’s just hope Bette doesn’t bite Alice’s head off, huh?
hey thxs for the update butt youre missing pages women.wink p.p.s.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Wow, I was thrilled to see you had posted! And then the AN… Thank you! I’m slowly getting better but still need a lot of rest and this chap’ was soooooo what was needed! I love this… It went quite well with Melvin… I understand Lottie’s break down though. I also understand Bette’s concern about her father who is an old man now, but maybe it’s time that Bette sees that it’s not about two different families anymore, and that she and Lottie have to form a unit in order to make it all right again… But I know you’ll take care of that one way or another, dear Sofa! I love how Tina always makes Bette see some sense… And I think it’s awfully cute how you make your wise and steady Tina get all horny and frustrated. It gives a great rythm to the B/T dynamic! Finally, I thought the ring thing was really nice and I hope that Lottie will give it to Bette, that would be such a perfect token of Bette’s legitimacy in her mother’s legacy… Anyway, great chapter and thank you so much for making my sick time much better! ;)
u write beautifully…i love this story so much…and already am hooked by your other one….looking forward to update…
You broke my heart when Marvin said “My Maxine” After all this time she is still his Maxine. Old school love. thanks
what will bette do without Tina? I hope Bette and lottie will have a very good talk.
So good. Great job. Please continue.
At least Bette’s come to her senses a bit, and is seeing how Lottie might be feeling. I’m relieved Melvin wasn’t all harsh and forbidding like he used to be… Jo and Lottie are too cute! Great update sofa, thanks! (Love the story, but I can wait for posts, I’d rather you did well on your finals… study!)
While I understand and agree that Bette may not have thought about Lottie’s feelings the entire time…i think you’ve pointed out that Melvin deserved the way Bette was treating it, cuz no matter how full her life is..she is being faced with a young woman who her own mother raised until she couldn’t…that was somthing more Bette never had and can never get back. Lottie not having Bette growing sucked, but she still at an age where Bette can make a difference and she is gaining the entire crew as family…it just seems to me that people are telling Bette Hey…don’t forget Lottie..(which i get and is right) but human emotions are human emotions and i don’t care how old you are, knowing that your mother abandoned you and raised another child until her death…is well…it’s a bitter taste that is hard to get out. And while Bette is happy with Tina and Angie…I would imagine it still would make for a rough time dealing with her father and her own emotions. Thanks for this story.
well at least bette listened to tina… love this story… and i do hope bette and lottie can talk … pps
I just got caught up on this story and I LOVE IT. Yes in deed, what would Bette do without Tina. I hope that Bette and Lottiespend a couple of hours talking and Lottie tell her the story of the two rings (That was SO triffling what her father did with the other ring. What a jerk). Bette should alsotell Lottie what Melvin said and that he would like to see her again. With all of his previous short comings, Lottie’s father makes Melvin look like a prime catch. PPS :o).
First of all I love all of your Tibette heart. Second of all, you have given us the family that we all want for Tibette. Even Melvin has mellowed. Lottie and Bette can become true sisters by standing up to their grandfather’s family. I also love the fact that Lottie feels like she should return the ring that Melvin gave to her mother. In one sense I hope that Melvin will let Lottie continue to wear it. Lottie needs to have that connections to someone who loved her. Hopefully Bette and the rest of the gang will continue to allow Lottie into their family.
Oh, I just thought of something. Maybe the reason that Lottie’s father took the ring back is that he knew that Maxine’s heart would always belong to this other man, “Melvin”. Maybe Maxine mentioned that she left a child that she loved with all of her heart but could not remain with her. It sounds like Maxine never did get over Melvin and Bette and when Lottie came about Maxine had trouble dealing with the fact that she had left behind an important part of her life in Bette. The impression that I get from Lottie is that Maxine was stand offish.
Great update, great story….looking forward to more after the Easter holidays. Have fun :o))
Damn this is so good and love it!
