Summer Vacation. Chapter 32
Lottie nodded, “Okay,”
~
However, they didn’t get the chance to talk again until they were both on their way over to The Planet for lunch.
For Lottie it was strange that her anticipation on their way to the usual family Friday lunchtime meeting would have changed as much as it had done during her time there. It used to be that she would walk with spring in step, eagerly awaiting the unfamiliar chat that would ensue as gossip was shared and problems talked over as general banter passed back and forth. Now she found her mind entangled with strange half-played-out scenarios of what she could expect; would Helena have told of their conversation from the night before, was Kit over the previous night’s outburst, had Bette’s faculty meeting gone well, would they all still be talking about Angie, and would Tina bring up the fact that she and Jo had had a fight?
So many questions, possibilities,
Her head so preoccupied that they’d reached the entrance to The Planet before she even thought to say more than a few words on the sunshine and the traffic to Tina’s rapidly advancing shoulder,
And before she knew it, they were inside, jostling for seats amongst the others who all shuffled round noisily and begrudgingly, not pausing for even a second to interrupt their already entrenched conversation,
“It’s bullshit!” exclaimed Bette, “how can they even say that?”
It seemed the question had been, in part, rhetorical for none of them deemed it necessary to answer. Lottie snuck herself in quietly between Lara and Alice, noting briefly that the latter sat more than a little bit close to Helena,
“What’s that babe?” Tina asked, sitting herself down in the chair Bette had just pulled across, Helena shuffled over even further to make some room,
The table had an air of familiar formality, Bette somehow always seemed to be the head of it, wherever that was then Tina would sit to her side. The rest ran in favour, and whoever felt most in need of hiding would sit silently at the edges.
Sat across from Lottie, Carmen fed Freddie, a sight she’d become more used to as the weeks rolled on. Shane sat beside her, Che upon her knee as she held him for Kit so she could clean him up. She and Carmen sat far apart from each other and didn’t make eye contact and Lottie wondered what they were fighting about and if Shane was as confused as she was.

hey, i’m first! *squeals with delight* that was great hun, super duper great. i was kinda enthralled…so much so that i have neglected my work for half an hour, re-reading your story twice. ok, so helena and alice..very subtle which made it all the more yummy…i like them together, and its good to go into that “why start, we got hurt once before, blahblah” angst that everyone goes through. people avoid shit cuz of those convos and i say ‘hooey!’ so i’m glad they’re going there! and jo and lottie…lottie should call the girl. i like that you’re going into that as well–those communication subtleties that are layered and different among women…we can all play those parts, we can all be emotionally clueless…the best is when the group jumps on lottie about that. i cracked up. i also cracked up at dana’s preggers breast fetish…hilarious…keep up the story, i furkin’ love it:) xo, pps, when you get some time off work darlin’
Very nice! I really liked that lunchtime round table discussion. Re: Jo, As hb said, Lottie needs to just pick up the phone. Al + Hels, I still like! And I wonder what trouble is coming from Mr. Lottie’s Dad. (can’t remember their last name?) Glad you had the time to post, more when you can, sofa, ta!
YAY YOU’RE BACK AND I HOPE YOUR PRESENCE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE A REGULAR ONE!!! I had forgotten about this story, however now I am truly happy to be reminded about it once again. Lottie’s dad..hmm drama to come I feel the winds changing. Jo and Lottie have gotta to make up, with both of them meeting half way, cause as I see it neither of them is wrong. NC17 with Al and H to come, (prefer NC17’s with B & T any day though). I love how Tina comes in and reprimands them from there fights and such, its cute. PPRS!!!!!
I can’t wait to see how Lottie’s father behaves. It seems like so much of her life is clothed in mystery. PPS!
Well this chapter surely had Lottie at the center of a lot of drama. Entertaining all around. Love the scene at the planet as they all ganged up on Lottie. Can’t wait to see Lottie’s dad’s reaction to her new life.
Yeah, Lottie’s avoidance lost her her chance to have some control over her situation (with her father and Jo) and now the shit is hitting the fan at the same time as her father is knocking on the door. It remains to be seen if his presence will be as traumatic as Lottie feared. Also remains to be seen if Jo or Lottie will step up to the plate (an Americanism) in regards to their issue(s). I like to use parentheses and you like asteriks. To each his (or her) own.
oooo! This should be good! I am thoroughly enjoying your story, especially the new characters you have created! One request: Can you write a scene with Sharmen? Post soon!
Hey there Sofa! Brilliant chapter. Always love the group scenes… can just imagine Dana drooling over the baby breasts! Your dialogue is so much better than what the show provides. Interested to see the fallout over the arrival of Lottie’s father… I sense drama in the works. By the way, if it’s positive reinforcement you desire, I am only too obliged to beg for chapters!!
Me too Sofa, I’ll beg, I love this story, you just suck up into being one of the family. Thanks good job, can’t wait for next chappy, please do so soon, there is weekend coming up. Md
Perfect!!!!! Great!!!!! and the cliffhanger!!!!! u better hurry up and post the follow up….
So Lottie’s dad has graced his daughter’s life. I hope that he will not freak out while in Bette and Tina’s home. When he sees Bette will he see her mother in her as he see her in Lottie? I love Alice and Helena together. Besides Bette and Tina I would like to see those two together in the upcoming season.
That was awesome!
Sofa your story and storytelling just gets better and better. I love the subtle parallels between Lottie and Bette, they are sisters afterall, right?! You have the dynamics of these characters down so well that the dialog and their interactions, their quirks (pregnant breasts?! LOL) come totally to life on the page. i hope you never get tired of giving us your version of the girls, I don’t know if I’d survive!! LOL. PPS
