Summer Vacation. Chapter 25
Lottie followed her up the stairs, mumbling in annoyance, they both stopped as Bette’s head poked out from the steps leading up to the attic,
“Hey …” said Bette, “how was the rehearsal?”
Lottie jumped, not expecting to see her there and Angie giggled, quite used to her Mom poking around in their attic,
Bette grinned, “You look pretty Boo,”
Angie smiled, twirling herself round at the top of the stairs before curtseying gracefully, she turned to Lottie and whispered “I’m not saying *anything* else …” before dancing like a ballerina into her room to get changed,
“What’s that about?” asked Bette, seating herself on the top rung of the stairs,
Lottie smiled, “Some secret at school,” she raised one eyebrow, “apparently I’m not allowed to know,”
“But she told you about it anyway, right?” said Bette, laughing gently,
Lottie nodded, “Uh huh, I was happily in denial beforehand,”
Bette chuckled, “She’s a little devil, she does that to me when Tina plans surprises,”
They both stood viewing each other carefully, in her home and in lay about jeans and a dusty white t-shirt Lottie thought Bette looked more human, more relaxed, she edged forwards onto the bottom rung of the steps, ready to return to Bette her mothers ring,
“Come up here …” said Bette, before Lottie had the chance to speak, “there’s something I’d like to show you …”
Lottie shrugged, “Okay …”
Up in the attic Bette lifted aside some wooden crates and pointed to a box for Lottie to sit on, she joined her there, carrying a number of small canvases wrapped in various bits of cloth for protection, she pulled out a small watercolour painting of a garden scene, asking Lottie, “Have you ever seen these?”
Lottie shook her head,
“They’re Moms,” said Bette, fingering the surface of one canvas lightly, she passed it to Lottie, nudging her to take it and look,
Lottie held one painting across her lap, noticing several more in Bette’s hands, “They’re beautiful,”
Bette nodded, “She used to paint all the time,” she paused, turning to Lottie, “it’s one of the real things I remember about her, she would sit out on the back porch of our house in Philly and paint the flowers in her garden … I used to ask her why she never painted other things,”

ok so am waiting…when’s the next one gonna b up…huh..huh??? this one was sweet, got all the basis covered. for a while there I thought that u’d have someone at Jo’s apartment. *wipes forehead* NPP!!!
Lottie and Jo really are adorable… thank the stars Bette and Lottie finally got together and found some common ground and had a *real* talk. I hope this is the start of them becoming really close. Well as close as they can be, with the age gap. …Oh to have been a fly on the wall when Melvin walked in on Miss Pieszecki… I get the giggles just thinking about that. Great chapter, sofa, thanks!
2for2 love it…im glad bette comin around with lottie..p.p.s.
I get so into your writing….I hate to scroll down and come to the end, but, alas! there is always the anticipation of more… Love how Lottie is slowly, but surely getting the family she so clearly wants, but doesn’t everyone… wonderful….
Awesome. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Something tells me Bette isn’t going to let her little sister remain in a premed program. I loved it. PPS
What a great story. FResh and delicious.
I so love this story!!!! Bette and Lottie are so alike its funny. But I am glad they are becomming close. Thank you PPS
The second coming of Bette and Tina starring Lottie and Jo as the star crossed lovers. Alice is still Alice. You know that she will always be there for you. I like how you have written Melvin and how he has mellowed. The whole extended family is what I would strife to have in my own life.
Hey, let them think whatever they want, PC. Awesome and totally sweet, as always.
I love love this story, you know that don’t you…all the characters are great including Melvin-what a surprise???? My fav is Lottie; my fav couple?…well, thats not hard but Lottie and Jo are shaping up to give em a run for their money huh??? Catch you next week.
i READ this and i loved it, and then i skipped to another story of yours–and forgot to comment. your nc17 is faaaantastic. heh;) you make me LIKE tina and bette together which is a HUGE feat my friend. good work, and keep it up. very cute…
Oh BTW, forgot to say – don’t skip the night, wanna read about Lottie/Jo :o))
Awww I love this story – loved the Bette/Lottie talk which was needed, love your Tina and looove Lottie/Jo – so fucking cute :o)) More, more, more of this story, pleeeaaaase (okay I just begged I think LOL)
Love this, love this, love this! Even better without the sniffing and all those tissues around!… “Promise me this will never stop”… such a great line…. I’m glad that Bette and Lottie finally “really” talked. I think that Bette should offer Tina her mother’s ring. It would be symbolic and right the wrong…. Anyway, thanks for this chapter, I just came back from a vacation and found it… It was a great surprise! ;)
That was wonderful!
