“Well, this is it,” Bette said proudly, looking to Lottie for some kind of reaction,
Lottie answered her half-heartedly, “It’s nice,”
Through the half closed blinds, Alice watched them, they continued to sit in the car, neither one looking as if they’d be moving any time soon,
“What’s taking them so long?” Angie asked, needing to have regular updates since she wasn’t allowed to look herself,
Tina turned to Alice and frowned, both of them wondering the same thing, “We don’t know,”
“Is something wrong?” Bette asked, perplexed by Lottie’s silence, “you seem … mad,”
Lottie shrugged, “I’m not mad,”
“No?”
She gave Bette a weak smile, “No …”
“What then?” Bette asked, “cos I didn’t drag you all the way out here for an afternoon of solitude!”
Lottie chuckled, “I know …” she turned to sit sideways in the car and look at Bette, catching a better glimpse of the house as she did so, it had Bette’s character written all over it and somehow she knew it’d be the same inside, “did you ever think you might have made a mistake …” she paused, “but you’re so far into it you just don’t know how to change things or get out?”
Bette frowned at her, “I don’t know … what are we talking about here?”
Lottie sighed, “Nothing,”
The way she turned her blue eyes away made Bette think of Angie, when she was making an admission or taking ownership of guilt. She longed to tell her that it wasn’t the time, that inside the house were all their family and friends waiting eagerly with gifts to wish her a happy birthday and help her celebrate. She wanted her to want to celebrate, to shake off whatever mood had befallen her since they were back at Helena’s in her room, Bette’s beady eyes taking note of the talent in her photography and artwork,
“Can this wait?” Bette asked suddenly,
Lottie frowned at her, making eye contact again, “Huh?”
“This,” replied Bette, taking her hands, “this conversation, can it wait?” she paused, “cos there’s something I’ve been dying to show you inside the house and I’m so excited about it I can’t wait!”
Lottie grinned, some of Bette’s enthusiasm rubbing off on her, she nodded, “Okay,”

ha! what are you going to do to me in the spotlight? nuffin i’m sure, nuuuufffin! this was a great chapter sweety, i loved it. boy, bette and helena sure get along great near the end huh? makes one wonder if they might have a bit of adult fun once tina falls off a cliff and the kidlets take a nap hey? muahahahaha…ok, sorry, *ahem* in all seriousness, i do actually like your tina a lot. she’s so motheringly, and its all so wholesome in a fantastically visionary way…you’ve delved into los angeles lesbian life from a much more satisfying angle than the show does, right on down to the ongoing presence of artistic vision, the loyalties of extended family, and a little revolutionary named Che. good show baby, i look forward to more…this story really is like that ride at an amusement park that you just don’t want to leave, because the sun is shining and your grrl is beside you, and your hair is whipping in the breeze. xoxo
Sofa, this was a fabulous chapter! Che may turn out to be a little too much for poor Kit if he keeps this up. I can’t wait for Bette and Lottie to develope a closer relationship. The two of them are the only family they’ve got (and Kit of course), it would be nice for them to really find each other.
Mustard and onions-raw, for maximum spunkiness! God only knows what that mysterious brown sauce is that you Brits keep talking about. I have a birthday coming up soon, I’m going to see if I can find somebody willing to let me spit beer on her thighs-such a novel way to celebrate.
Hey there Sofa! nice to see you had a good time over the spotlight.. it was funny to read some of your answers and at the same time some of them left me in a thoughtful mood. Anyway, about this chapy.. I loved how you portrait lil Che… he just makes me smile everytime he apears on some scene. I hope Lottie and Bette can talk a little more in a future chapter.. you know… *really talk*. (readers note: tomorrow is my b-day.. how I wish I had friends like the girls!! I would love to have a surprise party like that one!.. well a girl can dream, right?). Take care em, nice week!
Heya Sofa! Good stuff! When is Tina taking that nap???? Hee Hee *evil grin* Can’t wait to see just where you take this story. For the record, I just like plain old ketchup on my hot dog! MORE!
I was surprised that it wasn’t a NC17 but I loved it none the less.I couldn’t wait to read about Lottie’s reaction to the surprise. Angie is too cute my daughter would be the same way.PPS.
Wow, they are learning more about each other. I love how the entire family still gets together. Loved the scene with Bette cleavage diving with Tina and Angie’s glare to her mom before she busted up into giggles. Post soon.
Hi Sofa! Loved ya in the spotlight! Glad to be in the *know* about the *asteriks* too funny,…. I find myself doing it too … can’t wait to see how Bette tries to convince Lotties to pursue her art, as I *hope* she will… Maybe she will have Miss Sparks’ help…(wish Jo was my *teacher*), anyway, can’t wait for the giving to begin…. I’ll just sit back on my sofa and maybe reread your great stories…actually I’ve started… Tks
Hello Sofa… first you Rocked it out in the Spotlight :P… booyaa… this is so very good… I love the family atmosphere you create… it is just so beautiful and special… not perfect… it has its flaws but that is what makes a family so very special… just being there for one another… I love how Bette is chiseling away her resistance and eventually I think she might ask “Lottie” to stay… to complete there family and to well pursue the art that so empowers their family gene… hugs, JC (King hmmmmm… ok… I accept :P)
I am glad that Bette is getting more insights into Lottie. I hope that she makes sure that they finish their conversation. Lottie and Bette need one another and I can’t wait to see them develop a closer relationship. This chapter was AWESOME!
Hrm, I wonder how Bette’s gonna get Lottie to come around to doing art full time, without Lottie feeling like she’s being nagged… The party is awesome and they’ve not even gotten round to the gift giving yet. Great chapter, I love the way this story flows. thanks, sofa!
gotta have more; love your story…of course i like the onions and brown gravy style…
Sofa you really know how to make a reader feel like there right in the story. In the morning after the pool party I could see school teacher Jo waiting for Angie to go away so she could get up. I have back yard parties in the summertime and some of my friends work at the local high school where my son goes to school, it’s all in good fun till you have to threaten you kid about keeping quite about parties at school. Then the beach, I almost felt like I was right there watching all the goings on. Great chapter, Thank you. Md
Fantastic update… wish i was at that party. gosh they had loads of fun! the humor in the update was great. but i was wondering about lotti’s thoughts of making a mistake. i really wish she would tranfer to CU and change her major to art, because that seems to be what she loves the best! medical school is so not her!
LOVED IT!!!!!!
THAT WAS GREAT!
