“Do you know something we don’t?” Bette asked her, eyeing Shane curiously,
Shane smirked, “As a matter of fact, I do …”
“Such as?” Lottie quizzed,
“Such as, Alice isn’t with them …” Shane replied, evidently unwilling to spill more,
Bette frowned at her, not thinking it like Shane to keep secrets, she was usually too upfront,
“Anyway,” said Shane, done with the last of her coffee, “I’m off, catch you guys later,”
And with that she was gone,
“I wonder where Alice is then?” Bette asked thoughtfully, as Tina and Lottie merely shrugged,
~
Later that same afternoon, as she sat waiting in the parking lot of the California University’s Arts Faculty for Bette and Angie, Shane’s words that she should simply just ‘talk to Bette’ about it rang around inside Lottie’s head, seeming so very simple,
But it was harder in reality; a delicate balance of getting to know where they stood with each other when their status of being sisters dictated they should be so close. Instead she felt closer to everyone else, to Helena who she lived with, Alice who she laughed with, Shane who she partied with and Tina who she worked with, all of which made Bette seem further away,
Seconds later they drew alongside, Angie grinning wildly, the parking lot empty all except one or two other cars, and a beaten up sedan which Lottie recognised as belonging to Bette’s hippie assistant Ben,
“Hi … hi …” squealed Angie, overexcited and brimming with energy. In her hands she clasped a bag full of films, all waiting to be developed,
“Whoa!” Lottie grabbed her as she bowled right into her, “steady Ange, I’m not sure we’ll have time to do all of them today,”
Bette joined them and smiled, “I told her that, but she insisted on bringing them all anyway,”
“I want the ones from the play and the beach …” Angie babbled, as they went inside, “and my party … but they’re yours Mom, but I want them anyway,”
Bette paused to get the door for them, rolling her eyes as she let them in, “Alright, alright …!”
They spent a half hour or so getting set up, Bette enlisting the help of Molly and Greg, two grad students who hung around late looking like they had no home, to help her locate the developing solutions and equipment. Lottie grinned, sharing unseen glances with Molly and Greg as all three quickly came to the conclusion that it was longer than Bette claimed since she developed her own film,

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.
