Summer Vacation. Chapter 37
“What’s this?” Lottie asked, peering at it curiously,
Jo shrugged, “Open it and see,”
So she did, her eyes glancing back and forth between Jo and the present, opening it painstakingly carefully, until in her hands she held a thin, grey, aged copy of A Midsummer Night’s Dream …
“You’ve probably already got one,” Jo answered before Lottie had the chance, “but I thought at least this way you’d never forget what we did here together,”
Lottie smiled stupidly, terribly touched by the thought of it,
“Open it,” Jo instructed,
So Lottie did just that, finding that inside the words were written ‘To show our simple skill, that is the true beginning of our end’
She grinned, and closed the book, stepping forwards to hug Jo tightly in her arms, “That’s my favourite line in the whole play … how did you know?”
Jo pulled her back, “You’re kidding right?”
Lottie looked at her bemused,
“Every time we get to it you mouth the words and smile, before turning to me and muttering that it’s your favourite line in the entire play …”
Lottie chuckled, “I do?”
Jo hugged her quietly, “You do,”
In the stillness of backstage they held each others gaze for a moment, knowing that it wouldn’t last, a child would come along soon and disturb the peace but that was okay, it was all fine and worth it. And in a couple of days time they’d both hold their breath and wait as for an hour and a half the kids would do their stuff on stage, hopefully triumphant in the end,
“Lottie?”
Angie stuck her head around the door, the elected member of the posse to track down their teacher and the woman who the kids all rightly and smartly assumed she was involved with,
“Some of the Mom’s are asking how much longer we’re gonna be?”
Jo and Lottie parted quickly, stepping away with a delicate cough,
“Right …”
“Ahem …”
Jo answered her properly first, “We’ll be there in a minute Angie,”
The little girl scurried away, rejoining her friends,
“We should go …” said Lottie,
Jo stood before her, drawing herself closer into Lottie’s space, she ran the tip of her finger down the bridge of Lottie’s nose and then paused, before changing to use her thumb, which she passed over Lottie’s lips, before taking her chin and pulling her in for a searing kiss,

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.
