Bette was still thinking over Tina’s words, the business card of Marsha Hunt beside her on the desk when the phone rang later that morning, dragging her rapidly from her daydream,
She lay her hands upon the desk to capture the source of the shrill ringing, almost sending half empty coffee cups flying as she knocked into a stack of books for the next semester and with it the crockery that sat on top,
“Shit …! … Hi Helena …”
Helena paused before replying, “That’s a nice greeting,”
Bette blushed apologetically, “Sorry, it’s just you caught me off guard and I nearly had a catastrophic spillage,”
Helena chuckled, “Oh dear,”
“What can I do for you?” Bette asked, wondering if Helena would be drafting her in for support any time soon, as she often said Bette’s presence made her mothers visits all the more bearable, Bette being the thing Peggy always looked for in a daughter in law,
Helena took a deep breath, relaying that it wasn’t really ‘her’ phone call she was making, “You know Alice is going all out with this birthday thing … right?”
Bette groaned and sighed, “Right …”
“Well as part of ‘our’ present,” Helena continued, suggesting that ‘our’ was a loose term when the idea was so clearly Alice’s, “she wants to get her hands on some old pictures of Lottie, you know … embarrassing ones I think,”
Bette paused, “That’s nice,”
“Yeah, well,” Helena seemed to stumble over her words, “we don’t know how to …” she added, “it’s not as if one of us could just call her Dad up and say ‘Hey’ …”
“And you think *I* could?” Bette asked incredulously,
“Well …”
“Nuh uh … no way!” Bette replied flatly, “you’re just going to have to tell her to think of something else,”
“There’s no one else?” Helena suggested, seeming like she might be looking for an answer to Alice’s request in order to make up for something else, “anyone?”
Bette sighed, “I suppose I ‘could’ ask Roger, I was going to call him later anyway,”
Helena grinned, “Yes! … thanks Bette,”
“I’m not promising anything though,” Bette warned, “I can’t imagine why he’d have any unless they used to belong to someone else,”

i agree with honda90, thank you for this story and the nice long updates. It is one of my all time favorites because you really seem to understand the characters and speak in their voice incredibly well. I can’t wait to see where you go with this story! Thanks again for the great update and please post soon! :)
This story is one of my absolute favourite and I am so glad dat u’ve been posting regularly, many thanks. Can’t wait for the party PPS
I love this Sofa! The pace is perfect as you develop the characters and storyline. Alice is a trip, but I love this Lottie character! LMAO I think that Alice may have a match there. Can’t wait to see where you take this next. Post as soon as you can! Thanks Sofa :-))
How cute are Lottie and Jo? And how “cute” are Bette and Tina for that matter? Hickeys, at that hour of the morning, tut-tut. I like that Bette was willing to swallow pride and ask for photos for Al’s b-day surprise for Lottie… Speaking of, is the tape of Hels *that* bad? Unless she was wearing dodgy clothes (impossible, I’d imagine, for a Peabody) and singing karaoke off-key, I can’t think as to what the big deal is. She’s not the person she was then, and everyone knows it, so hopefully it’s not a problem. Anyway, why is Alice so set on showing it? Hmm, curiouser and curiouser. Great chapter, sofa. Cheers for the post!
Thanks for satiating me Sofa! Can’t wait to see what the deal is with the tape and what else Alice has planned at the party. Love this story!
B&T are hot and sweet, Lottie and Jo are cute, Helena and Alice are funny and cute. Please post more, thanks!
How will Bette handle Lottie having the money to finance their project? I hope that this project will bring them together. I love all the flirtation and can’t wait to read more!
no *you’re* the best girlfriend ever…hehe…ok, well now that i’ve let my secret out–that i am always tempted to gush a great deal more than i ever actually do–i’ll just say what i think. definitions aside, this story always feels epic…its got everything, birth, death, and the meanings of the daily things in between…and the sex is hot, because it lives in the tapestry you create with your writing…as always, baby, your writing is downright poetic. but nothing i can say here can really describe how i feel reading your stories…really…truely…i’ll stop now;) your writings are as beautiful as you are…xoxox
I can’t ever seem to get enough of this story…at least your generous enough to give large portions!!! Pls post soon…
The story gets better and better! Can’t wait for the Paris trip, that should be a lot of fun!
Wow, that Alice sure can make a production out of things, I hope she’s scheduled a bit of free time for socializing during the party. Too bad Jo and Lottie didn’t enlist her to help with the play, they would have had more free time and Alice could have worked off some of her excess energy. At while Peggy’s in town. Otherwise Helena might get ‘pressed’ into service. May I recommend the girls check out the Rue de Dragon? It’s been a while but there used to be some charming and unpretentious restaurants there. And the Marais is a good stroll away from the bulk of the tourists. And may I further that you make good use of the fact that you’ve got, however briefly, Bette and Tina, as well as Alice and Helena, in empty houses?
I agree with all of the above… can’t help but love Lottie, so unspoiled by all of her wealth… hope this party finally convinces her that she is truly loved.. and that she belongs … that’s what we all want really, to be loved and to belong to someone…….. love it as always…. thanks sofa!
Wow, love the Bette and Tina time together and how embarrassed Lottie was about the kiss. Can’t wait for more of this very intriquing story.
