Summer Vacation. Chapter 35
Tina grinned, the smug smile on her face growing as Joyce laid Bette’s cards out on the table for her, pointing out the grim reality,
“Now …” said Joyce, finishing the last of her coffee in the hope that Tina might provide her with more, “lets talk about that little putz who’s Chairman of the Board, what did you say his name was … Lewis Crantz …”

“Lara can do those awesome chicken skewers Lottie likes …” Alice rambled on, “and we’ll decorate outside, and we should get her something too, what should we get … oh … maybe we should see if any of her friends from NYU want to come, or San Fransisco?”
“Alice …” Helena sat tucked in neatly behind her on the couch, her lips dangerously close to the back of Alice’s exposed neck, “Al,” she said again, desperate to get a bit of attention, “Al … can’t this wait?”
Alice turned and for a second it seemed like she might miss the lustful look on Helena’s face, she grinned, “Sure, it can wait … but …”
Helena groaned, getting up in exasperation, “Alice!”
“What?” Alice looked at her innocently, a pad of paper on her lap and a pen in her mouth as she made out one of her famous ‘lists’
“Its … just … this!” Helena cried, “calm the fuck down for fucksakes! … it’s just Lottie, she’s not royalty,”
Alice’s bottom lip trembled for a moment as she watched Helena’s green eyes flash with frustration, or maybe anger or even jealousy, she couldn’t be sure,
“I’m sorry …” said Helena, sitting down again, “I’m just all worked up for some reason, my mother will be back soon and you’re here … and the kids …”
“And?”
“And I’m nervous about telling them,” Helena replied suddenly, “this year’s been so hard for them and I want them to be happy, because I’m happy,” she added, giving Alice a dazzling smile, “but they’re my kids and …”
“Helena,” Alice took her girlfriends hands seriously, “it’ll be okay,”
“But …”
“It’ll be okay …” Alice repeated,
“What if they think you’re just another one?” Helena hypothesised,
“Another what?” Alice asked, struggling to hide her amusement when Helena’s face looked so sincere, “just another one of your many women …”

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!!
