Summer Vacation. Chapter 46
Assuming a voice over like Carrie Bradshaw, Lottie cleared her throat and started reading. “Going backwards …” she began, reading Alice’s title aloud, “Is sometimes nothing more than an alternate route in going forwards. I say this as a person who has spent her life searching for that endless goal of happy, healthy interpersonal relationships. Only to discover in the end that I had it all along, I simply chose a different path.”
Lottie paused, adding, “I think that’s Helena,”
Jo nodded and rolled her eyes, figuring that even for herself.
“I had reason to be going through old home movies recently,” The article continued, “dragging up the exes of past and present and it just hits home sometimes when you see your life on tape that ex-girlfriends never really go away. Sure, some of them move on or move geographically and you don’t hang out like you used to, they’re rare and it probably wasn’t such a significant relationship if that happens. But the ones I’m talking about are the ones who stay, who become some extension of your family circle, the ex-girlfriend who becomes your best friend.”
Jo finished her iced tea and lay down, closing her eyes to keep out the bright sunshine as she waited for Lottie to continue.
“And whenever there are children involved, whether they were yours together or in my case, hers from before there’s this notion of the expected Auntie, the ever increasing circle of women who co-parent each others children because that’s what we said we would do, because the children aren’t confined to any one of us, because we love them all.”
“That’s pretty true …” Lottie added, “I always think the kids are kind of lucky having such a big, supportive family,”
Jo nodded, her eyes still closed, “Yeah.”
“I often think of the poem ‘The Road Not Taken’ by Robert Frost.” The article continued, “You all know the one I mean, the guy in the woods and he has two choices over which path he should take. And we all remember the poem as if he takes one path and that single choice determines the rest of his life, with a sense of distinct inevitability and no turning back but I’m here to tell you that life has a way of bringing you back around to stand at the fork in the road again. After all, how many of us have closed the door on a relationship and sworn we were done, we’d never go back, we’d never make the same mistake again. Seriously, how many of you can hold your hand up honestly and say that you stuck to it?”

Lol, I have no idea why it’s nine pages! It was the same length it always is!!
SS don’t even think about it being nine pages I won’t complain.I was wondering when Jenny would appear.Let the drama begin.
I LOVE B&T SEX!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO Great stuff Sofa. I will have to send this story along to a certain someone that cannot read the site at this time, but has requested updates be emailed to her when certain author’s post. You are one of them!!! Boy will she be quite happy to see it’s an NC17 to boot! Oh yeah, and suuuuuuuure making us all look bad with your 9 pages. *hmph*
i re-read sweets, and i was thinking that i really love how you’ve created lottie and jo…its a really tricky, realy hard thing, writing young lovers with all of the intensity and playfullness that the two characters share–and mixed in there, some of that uncertainty and knowing that they have to just live life and not worry about it, i don’t know, you just really capture all of those layers so well. and to contrast that so brilliantly with the b&t partnership, which is, as you’ve re-visioned it, so indicative of that journey of just being really brave and embracing life and all of that..the characters really do live full and interesting lives and you capture it on the page so well. so when your first novel comes out, i want a signed copy babe;) i look forward also, to reading the first unedited copy in bed with some pancakes and of course…you:) excellent chapter sweety, really good. xo
Sofa…9 Pages!!!!(clapping hands) You can write your chapters as long as you like. Thanks for the update…I’ve been patiently waiting for one bacause you know I love this story!
Wow, this post was like a rich and creamy 7 layer cake. What a treat.
hahahehem chicki i don’t think you could look bad with your writing talents.SO GLAD THIS STORY IS BACK SOFA. and 9 pages to boot. Sometimes your to hot for me to handle, the whole thing was great, a joy to read, please come back soon. Thank you, Md
Hey 9 pages is fine by me :) i can helena playing twister,lol… lottie and jo was written so well. love bette and tina they really have the communication thing down well huh! happy to see an update. this story makes melt. it is well written!! :) PPS
Love the nine pages.I’m not complaining, Jo and Lottie are great together, Have an ideal that Kit knows Eli, maybe hers or Bettes nanny. or an old family friend.
yaaaaaaaaaa….about time for an update….i think we all like B&T sex!! thanks Sofa
B&T sex a perfect chapter!!!! Also when I came to the sex with Jo and Lottie, is it any surprise to say I switched the names to B & T?? LOL!!! B & T with a strap on next in your story ok??? *hint, hint*
You made my day. So glad to see an update on this story. Great as always. Looking forward to more.
I always look forward to your updates on this story! jinjur
ummmm? Where to start? Great writing as usual. You keep effortlessly writing these somewhat complicated relationships…Lottie and Bette, Lottie and Jo…Alice’s article. Very well done. But damn!!! That Lottie and Jo scene, whew!!! Excellent, sexy, hot…can never have too much sofasitter! Looking 4ward to your next post.
Well-written and thoroughly enjoyable as usual, sofa. *Thanks a lot!* When I first read that Bette and Tina would stay alone in the beach house for one more night, I knew what was coming. As my fave Donald Duck would say, “Oh boy!Oh boy!Oh boy!” Loved the rug romp as much as I loved the almost-soundless bathtub tryst! :> Btw, *kudos* to your “Insight”. I didn’t know you’re good in psycho mystery/suspense thrillers too. Thanks again, sofa! PPS :>
Oh damn Jenny is back. I wish that she was not so obnoxious both in ff and the show, but hey it would not Jenny then. I am very interested in this Auntie Eli. Something tells me that Kit knows who this woman is and that means that Bette will probably know her. Maybe she was there to help raise Bette but left when Maxine left.
I guess Alice won’t be getting any for a while. Half ten? Sounds English to me! I was going to say it would be OK for Lottie to talk like that, and then you went and told me she’s only fake English.
That was great, B&T are hot and Lottie and Jo too. Oh no crazy bitch jenny is back run everyone run lol. Please post more, thanks!
Loved it, loved it, loved it…humor, sex, Jenny the crazy back…what more could we ask for???!!!! MORE thats what.
Every chapter of this story ROCKS and this one is no exception. I adore Bette and Tina getting alone time. Lottie’s bday gift was H-O-T! And wouldn’t you know chaos…oh I mean Jenny has returned. Brilliant writing!
