“Right …” said Bette, once they had everything they needed, “you seem to have it all under control so I’ll just leave you to it,” she paused to survey the dark room’s contents one more time, “if you need me for anything I’ll be in my office,”
She left them then, heading back through the open studio amidst hushed voices from those who still hung around,
“Greg …” Bette acknowledged him with a smile,
He sat with three others, Molly one of them and the other two guys she recognised from their dissertations, though neither one had taken her class,
He returned with a nod, “So … who is she DP?”
A nickname which few got away with, to her face anyway, but Greg was brilliant and knew it and also happened to be the younger, more talented brother of James’ boyfriend Peter,
Bette strode across, taking her time, if they weren’t some of her favourite students, she’d tell them to mind their own business and go on home,
“Is she ‘the sister’ then?” Greg asked cheekily as Bette came closer,
She leant against the side of an enormous wooden bench, littered with brushes and palettes and discarded sketchbooks, smiling as the others whispered amongst them,
“Her name’s Lottie and yes, she is!” Bette replied, quickly fighting back a short burst of fierce protectiveness as three pairs of eyes all wandered in the direction of the now closed dark room door,
“Nice …” one of the other guys muttered, under his breath,
As Greg caught it and quickly whacked him on the arm, “Hey …”
Bette put on her best austere air and raised one eyebrow pointedly as she walked away, “Yes … ‘Hey’…!” doing her best to ignore the forthcoming hushed comments on the form of her little sister,
“Bette …!”
Ben practically jumped on her as she entered the room, the phone in his hands as he spoke to someone else,
“I’m so glad you’re here,” he gushed on, “Erin Becker’s on the phone and she says there’s some problem with her grant application,”
Bette sat down in the chair opposite, spinning round thoughtfully, still ever so slightly bemused that her students were falling all over themselves at the sight of Lottie. It made her remember, for a second, what it was like when Lottie first arrived, how she accused Alice of hitting on her, and how Shane had simply commented that if she were at all aware of it, Junior Bette would be hot property in West Hollywood,

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.
