Summer Vacation. Chapter 36
She chuckled to herself at the brash audacity of their dinner guest the night before, no matter how uncomfortable she was capable of making them all feel it was hard not to love Joyce and her slightly bizarre ways,
Whether Lottie and Jo had thought so remained to be seen and Bette wondered whether it might not be a while before Jo ever agreed to come to dinner again. But in thinking of her sister she turned to the next point,
4) … get Lottie a birthday present …
underneath which she wrote,
but WHAT?
pausing for a moment to see if any flash of inspiration would come to mind she sighed, accepting that she’d have to think on that one,
As if instinctively sensing the pause in her wife’s thoughts, Tina rang,
“Hey Tee …”
Tina grinned as she strolled around her office at the end of a long morning, the phone tucked neatly beneath her chin, “Baby! … you’re awake!”
Bette chuckled, “Uh huh, and for a while now, I’ve been making a list of all the things I want to get done in the next few weeks,”
“Such as?” Tina asked, only half paying attention as Lottie poked her head through the door asking which of the two copies Tina wanted faxing, “that one …” she mouthed, pointing to the one in her right, “sorry babe …” she said, turning back to Bette, “you were saying,”
Bette chuckled, “I said: mostly things to do with the Trust, and sorting out the beach house,”
Tina smiled, “I love the beach house,”
Bette grinned, “I was thinking of taking a ride out there one day this week, checking it over,”
“You know Angie will moan if you go without her,”
“Alright,” agreed Bette, thinking it probably wasn’t worth the fight, “then how about this weekend?”
“Can’t,” said Tina quickly, “Lottie’s birthday, remember?”
Bette remembered, “Right … yeah … I was just thinking about what to get her for a present … actually,”
Her thoughts unchecked, Tina muttered aloud, “How about the ability to be in two places at once …?”
Not understanding what she meant, Bette replied with a simple, “Huh?”
Tina kicked herself mentally, forgetting that with the rush to get Angie up and off to school and her wish to let Bette sleep off her hangover on the first day of her holiday, she’d completely forgotten to mention to Bette that Jo left early the night before leaving Lottie to contemplate a month away in France …

baby, you did a happy dance? you’re soooooooooo cute…seriously adorable…*runs back to read some more*, oh, and also, i looove the grad students that bette’s got. really, none of us are ever at committed. *thinks about it* oh dear, maybe thats just me. either way, i like how you paint them…lol
oh. my. gawd. loved it sweety…you’re on a total roll these days with your writing and this one left my mouth hanging open and…and…lots of things that i wanna say to you in private;) xo
That was so GREAT!!!!!! Thanks you
I need to give out more than one slo-mo high five, it seems. This was a total touchdown/ace/penalty/slam dunk — you pick (I seem to be stuck in sports metaphor land…)! Lottie’s ideas were fab, and imbued with the same generosity I think that Bette has, (although it’s not always shown) and I love that they’re not all gonna be separated over the summer. Great chapter, sofa, cheers for the post.
Aww, this was good. Hey, I’d rather get one story than no stories if it makes you stop to take on too many stories. However, the London story kicks ass. Glad you are back to the mother ship. I mean, its cool that people branch out when they feel the inspiration but my extra 20 minutes a day are spent on Bette and Tina stories.. and you do them well. So, its good for me.
Enjoyed the chapter and can’t wait until you take us to Paris. I love Paris…
You are so awesome! Damn this was just …. ** THUD ** You know, you wrote the sex so perfectly, that moment right before coming when some women take that breath, that silence, that second when everything pauses. It just reminds me of that wave in an ocean that builds and builds and then you see it crest and juuuuuuust start to roll over into that full blown crash against the rest of the water below. Yes…you described the sex perfectly. Are you and HB engaging in alot of research? * wink * You are brilliant my dear. Can’t wait for more!
Chock full of steaming goodness! You keep on being prolific. London Town, Paris Town, let’s go!
Uh….’clever clogs’? And where was Alice when everybody else went to Sea World?
uh oh…you fluttered your eyelashes at me…that means i may have to write more tibette. i forgot to mention: i love lottie’s evolution in this story, especially given how hard it is to go with made up characters and let them run with their norty selves. i like her evolving relationship to jo and to helena and yeah, to bette and tina…and maybe to joyce? hehehe
Alright Sofa, there was a little bit of everything in this chapter! Can’t wait for the next one…I know, I’m greedy.
So amazing! I love, love, love Lottie’s idea for the artist space! Can’t wait to see Bette and Lottie working together.
Thanks for the happy dance post. It definitely was worth your happy dance along with my happy dance and cold shower. I really do love this story. Being a Tibetter only enhances this story and the introduction of Lottie only adds intrique to the unknow Maxine. I can’t wait to learn more about Lottie and Bette’s mother and whether their mom ever thought of her oldest daughter. I hope that there is evidence of Bette in their mother’s life in Paris or anywhere for that matter.
That was awesome and loving it. Please post more, thanks!
GREAT chapter, I love how slowly but surely Bette and Lottie are getting closer and hopefully understanding each other. I love the relationship between Lottie and Angie as well as the budding relationship between Helena and Alice, and Lottie and Joe. PPS :o).
Alice was TOTALLY doing something awesomely birthday party-ish, right? Or is it something more secret than that? I can’t even tell you how much I LOVE this story. Maybe it’s because I’m a total sap for B&T, but I also love it all, especially the group/friends dynamic of the whole group. Love it!
I can see alice planning this party for lottie,lol oh boy! awesome update! yes i think you need to see Dr. Kennard if you just love tina, i’m sure she can help,lol..
I’m def going to make you stick to your 1x/wk…I’m all hooked on this again and regular posting is needed for this fix!!! Tks PPS
I understand now more about why Lottie would live with Helena… I wondered about that earlier… I love Jo and Lottie…Lottie and Angie… Bette and Lottie… well I love them all! Please keep writing!!!!!
No worries over your erratic, sporadic writing spells especially when you come back with such brilliant updates. Happy to see you continue with this juicy nugget. This story just flows so well… love the way you’ve developed each person into the group dynamic… look forward to the Paris trip. Trying to figure out which part of the story ignited the happy dance… Eagerly awaiting any updates you may have cooking on other stories as well! Thanks, sofa.
T sure knows how to shut Bette up!!! loved it…more soon plz
and thx for the shout-out about my stories. I’m sorry about ONLY YOU I have it written IN MY HEAD just can’t find time these days. Unpacking is nearly done and I have a weekend away at friends’ 30th anniversary (straight friends) next week-end, sometimes a trip away inspires me. Let’s hope.
