Summer Vacation. Chapter 41
Bette sat up sharp again, “Angie?!?”
Tina smoothed her forehead, “Angie’s fine babe, she’s still asleep,”
Bette’s eyes looked fearful, “Are you sure?”
Tina nodded, “I’m sure,”
Bette laid back down again, annoyed with herself for not being able to recall what she dreamt, she felt as though she’d lost someone, or something, as if she’d dreamt her very worst nightmare …
~
“Are you okay?”
Lottie stood beside Bette at the counter in The Planet, grinning wildly,
Bette yawned and shrugged, she couldn’t go back to sleep that morning after the dream, instead she lay awake with her head on Tina’s chest, watching as her breathing fell regular and steady, then proceeded to punish herself further by wracking her brain to recall it,
“I didn’t sleep well,” Bette mumbled, stirring an extra sugar into her coffee,
Lottie frowned and felt sorry for her, she looked tired and her eyes had a kind of faraway, glazed expression. She didn’t seem eager to lead their Friday lunchtime family meeting with her usual vigour.
She rubbed Bette’s arm affectionately, hoping to pass on some of the happiness she felt, since she awoke that morning in Jo’s arms to be met by a single stemmed rose from the bouquet of flowers the children had given her the night before, on a tray with coffee and bagels,
“Never mind,” said Lottie, hoping to helpful, “it’s nearly the weekend,”
Bette gave a half-hearted smile and picked up her coffee, “Yeah … you look, er … happy?” Bette added, after a moment’s pause, noticing Lottie’s flushed cheeks and radiant smile,
Lottie chuckled, realising what Bette actually meant when she said the word happy, “I am,” she replied, accepting her caramel frappucino from Kit with a smile, heaped with cream, topped with cinnamon and looking thoroughly unhealthy, she grinned as she slurped it, “Life’s great, I woke up this morning to breakfast in bed and then went running along the beach with Banjo,”
Bette smiled, “That’s nice,” they gathered the rest of the drinks and made their way back over to join the others at the table, already occupied by Alice, Helena, Tina and Shane, “what’s she gonna do with him when she goes to France?” Bette asked, passing Tina her chai latte,

Sofa, I’m really glad your back with this story, I’v really missed it. I love reading about how the whole family interacts and can’t wait for Lotties’ party. Thank you. Md
What a pleasant surprise to find this chapter tonight! I still love this story Sofa and I’ll keep reading if you keep writing! B&T caught out by Angie…LMAO!
You know that I love this story. I can never get enough of it. I can picture Bette and Tina enjoying a little time to themselves and relaxing after the little excersie session. I can also see Angie’s reaction after catching her moms in the relaxation mode after the exercise session.
great to have u back Sofa. Looking forward to lots and lots of CONSTANT updates. lol with TONS AND TONS OF NC17’S!!!! B & T THAT IS!!!
I love the way you weave together an emotional maturity, psychological insight and beautiful love making. This is my favorite paragraph.”Bette cleared the plates from the table, leaving Tina to sit and think, the summer time was like a role reversal for them, with Tina the one working the most hours and Bette mostly off during the day, it gave them time to switch roles and remember that sitting so firmly in ideas of who they were based on jobs and money was the thing that almost killed them in the first place.”
Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the b-day bash!
*runs by yelling ‘sofa is a hottttie!’ whoowhoo!*
Please don’t stop. I like your story. I always wait for another chapter.
Yeah, don’t stop. I LOVE your story. It’s really great and I would love to hear how it’s going on with the girls…

HAHAHA! Bette & Tina caught red-handed by their own daughter. Funny and embarrassing as hell! Welcome back, sofa!!! I’m glad you’ve come around that dreaded Writer’s Block. And I don’t see myself getting tired of reading updates on this story anytime soon. I hope you’ll get on a roll again but if not, don’t worry and pressure yourself. We’re patient, we’ll just wait for your next post whenever it comes. Thank you!!! ;>
So happy to see you back, sofa! Very glad to hear you’re not thinking of stopping ’cause this just gets better every chapter. Love Angie’s gross reaction and look forward to Lottie’s birthday bash. Enjoy the spotlight and I may drop by for that hot chocolate…mmmm.
