Shane surveyed the recent glow on Lottie’s face that appeared since she sat back down and hung up the phone, “Oh I don’t know?”
“What’s her name again?” Dana asked, completely out of the loop as usual,
Lara shook her head despairingly as Helena, Shane, Carmen and Alice all murmured in unison “Jo …”
Helena bounced Freddie up and down on her knee, “So, are you dating then?” she asked Lottie, in a seriously mother-like fashion,
Lottie shrugged, embarrassed by the gaze of six pairs of eyes trained upon her, “I don’t know … I guess … I mean, we’ve been on dates,”
“Dates?” piped in Alice, terribly proud of her up-to-the-moment inside knowledge, she was unaware there’d been more than ‘one’ date,
“Dates,” Lottie reiterated, looking around her at the group of women sat sipping their coffees in unison, poor Wilson had taken leave long ago, preferring to sit at the counter with his iPod and a plate of French fries watching Kit’s assistant Matilda clean out the coffee machine,
Lottie figured it counted as a date if you spent the evening with someone curled up on the sofa and the rest of the night curled up together in bed,
Alice watched her closely, knowing there was internal dialogue going on inside her head, she asked, tentatively, “Have you slept with her?”
“Alice!” cried Lottie, as Shane raised her weary paintball arm just long
enough to take a swipe at the side of Alice’s head,
Alice proclaimed her innocence, “What? … I was just asking”
Shane glared at her, “Well don’t”
Lottie shook her head, checking the door for any sign of Jo’s appearance, “No … I haven’t …” she said, leaning across to Alice, she lowered her voice, pleading, “you will behave Alice, wont you?”
Helena chuckled, amused, Lottie seemed to command the same effect on Alice that Bette herself had once done, she grinned, “Of course she will,”
Lottie sighed relieved, adding quickly, “Good … because she’s here …!”
“Are you going to tell him?” Kit asked Bette as the three of them gathered
in the kitchen preparing the tea,
Bette glanced down the hallway, in the distance she could vaguely hear the sound of Angie’s voice as she went over the different settings Lottie had taught her to use on the camera, showing off her skills to her proud Grandpa,

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!
