“There’s just one … more … ‘tiny’ thing …” Helena stated tentatively, all too aware of the fact that Alice had returned after her earlier bolt and was proceeding to jump up and down in front of her like an idiot mouthing ‘p-a-r-t-y’
“Yes …?”
“Well, we were just thinking … um … about throwing her a bit of a party?” Helena suggested, hoping Bette would just get on board for ease’s sake and there’d be no need to convince her since half of the arrangements were miraculously set,
“Hmn …” Bette sighed unsure, “I don’t know … I mean, what if she doesn’t want a party, especially one of Alice’s over-the-top-everyone-will-regret-this-in-the-morning sort of parties?”
Over hearing the last line Bette conveyed laced with sarcasm, Alice snatched the phone from Helena and began to walk away, “She needs a party,” said Alice sternly, giving Bette a remake of her earlier speech, “she’s in LA, she’s away from home, away from all her friends, her family, she needs this Bette,”
Bette grumbled, “If you say so,”
“So how about next weekend?” Alice hurtled on, forgetting everything she’d learnt over the years about how best to play Bette into getting what she wanted, “we could have it here, and you guys can help with the surprise, invite her round to yours to talk ‘shop’ or ‘Trust’ or whatever it is you guys do and we’ll set up here and surprise her?”
Bette shot a look at Tina that suggested she wasn’t sure, “I guess,”
“It’ll be great,” Alice assured, storming ahead, “Carmen can put on some music, Lara’ll do the food, Kit can get a cake in, simple!”
Bette groaned, suspecting that with Alice involved nothing was ever going to be ‘simple’,
“Fine Alice, do whatever you want!”
Alice grinned before hanging up the phone, “Yes!”
Bette hung up the phone and lay back on the bed, her arms above her head, leaving the way clear for Tina to return her head to it’s resting place upon Bette’s chest,
“What’s up baby?” Tina asked, running her fingers lightly from side to side across Bette’s bellybutton,
Bette chuckled, “Nothing. It appears …” she said slowly, “that there’s going to be a party …”

“Joyce …” said Tina, several hours later as she came down fresh from her shower to greet their guest, “How are you … can I get you something to drink?”

i have so been hanging out for this story but didn’t have the cheek to PM u seeing as i’m way behind…but u did it; i love it; pps.
and i’m actually 1st!!!!
I’ve missed this story, thanks for posting…not that I don’t like what you have given us…it’s just I really love this story.
Wow, you did an amazing job picking right back up with the intrique. I am excited that you have gone back to writing this story,
Not first!!! Look who’s being all prolific and stuff. Good to see this one back. As long as you’re taking requests, how about revisiting “London Town”? (That is what it’s called, isn’t it? It’s been so long.)
I am thrilled to see your story updated! I wish Bette and Lottie would just talk to each other. They are both so afraid of losing the other that they don’t really even get the chance to know each other.
Lottie doesn’t have to stay in France the whole month… she’s got like trillions in the bank, can’t she hire a jet and just go see Jo for 4 or 5 days then come back for a week a couple of times? Or, can’t she fly her new family over to France for a visit while she stays with Jo? I dunno, money=options, and she’s got loads. As for Bette and the old idiots on the board, I think she can easily win one of them over. Or, failing that, make them scared to vote against her! And Al + Hels, too cute! I’m glad to see this back, thanks for the post, sofa, cheers!
what a great story! i think tina being a therapist so fitting for her personality!
Good chapter. Drama coming !
Wow. The drama. Glad to see a B/T story back. Hope you end up updating that story where they are in London sometime if you get the chance.
Thanks for updating this story, I really like this one. This should be a pretty tough decision for Lottie, but Jo doesn’t seem to be having as hard a time as Lottie with it.
Hey Sofa! thanks a lot for this update. I’ve loved this story from the beginning and I think you’re doing a marvelous job with the intrigue. And i’ve already said it but i love Tina’s personnality and B&T’s dynamic here. But I admit that I also fell in love with London Town and would love to see it continue… *hint* *hint*…. Thanks!!!
hehe, ok, see? i’m like 25th down the list, not the first to comment this time. yay for dying batteries. lol. i must say…super cute baby, super cute…lottie and jo and their mini dramas are just adorable and touching and really great. bette and joyce drunk are great, but you paint joyce in this really layered way so that i’m giggling over bette’s ‘curled lip’ while thinking at that very same moment ‘poor joyce’ and worrying about her. i love it, love the directions this story goes, love how you write it, love the characters…i’ll stop gushing now. but i’m glad you had a chance to get to this one. perhaps you’ll do some writing on my little ‘prezzy’ today? *giggles* xo
OH and i love alice and helena…that was also totally adorable. peggy’s whole thing about hearing them. hehehe…more of those two! :) i’m such a demanding grlfriend;)
“tons of inappropriate questions” And we want to hear the answers to all of them… Go Joyce!… ;-)
Thanks for the update. Enjoyed having this story back and the B/T/H safari.
YAY!! I was so excited to read this, & I loved this installment…I wonder what Lottie’s going to do about Jo…? Joyce’s appearance was great, Alice & Helena are hilarious as always, and of course I always love B&T. Thanks, sofa!!
