Lottie shook her head, unsure how to answer him. “Thanks … I’ll … er … I’ll remember that.”
“It stopped.” Alice grinned, returning her attention to Helena.
Helena grinned back at her, “You know it was probably Lottie, aren’t you keen to run down there and give her a grilling?”
Alice reviewed their current situation, shaking her head with her lips pursed. “No thanks, I have unfinished business.”
Helena smirked, hoping Alice would at least allow the kids to get back into their own rooms before she started on her again.
Lottie watched Wilson’s retreating gangly figure as he walked back up the stairs and for a second was frozen in time as she tried to pinpoint the exact moment when she realised that floppy haired boys wearing the t-shirts of her favourite bands just didn’t do it for her like they did the other girls.
“Banjo?”
She half-heartedly called out for Jo’s dog, knowing that had he been in the house he would have been at her feet the second she walked in the door. Li probably had him; he was fickle like that and would frolic in the ocean for whoever planned on feeding him his breakfast.
Wearily she climbed the stairs, planning on crawling into bed and sleeping through the warm summers day in Helena’s beautifully air-conditioned house until her hangover was gone and so was enough of the day to leave Alice with few hours left in which to question her. She heard the sound of The Ramones on extra loud filtering out from Wilson’s bedroom and flopped on her bed. Wishing silently, if at all possible, that the last 12 hours just hadn’t happened.

“Passports, insurance documents, Angie’s health card, my address book, your address book, your filofax …”
Tina was reeling off a list of things they would need to take with them the following week when they flew to Paris. Repeating them to herself and then back to Bette who was staring off abstractly into space in the garden clearly thinking about something else.
Angie was gone, abandoning her mothers in favour of hanging out with Shane and Freddie down at Wax. She took off with her knee and elbow pads and received a stern reminder from Tina that since her arm cast was due off at the end of the week they would appreciate it if she didn’t go and break something else.

I love everything you write, and I’m very late to this story, but I’ve really enjoyed catching up. I hope this story goes on forever, thank you for continuing to write it! Love that Tina and Bette are going to try for another baby.
I love this but ‘eh??? can u really get that drunk that u don’t know if u’ve done the dirty deed or not??? I can’t drink more than 3 glasses without suffering alcoholic poisoning so my question is real. Jenny is such a user. Get Helena and Bette to kick her sad arse outa town!!! Thx for the update.
yeah, nice about the baby coming up.
Sorry I haven’t commented. I read on my Blackberry and it doesn’t let me log in. I love how your chapters mix seriousness and the funny, often simultaneously for the same characters. The undercurrent of each person’s history adds depth to each story arc. I also love the (struggling here for words) depiction of couples at various points in relationships, not dismissing, making assumptions, or judging any of them. There is rekindled love, new love, new family love, starting family love and, of course, long-term love. It is a treat to read each chapter. Thank you.
You know, it’s a myth that people forget what they have done while in a state of drunken stupor. I’ve had too much brandy and tequila a few times before but I did remember every embarrassing act I and my drinking buddies have committed during the session. You lose control and inhibition, so you tend to do foolish things that you’d wish to bury in your memory the following day. Anyway, I think Lottie and Jenny fooled around a bit that’s why Lottie had selective temporary amnesia. The princess of darkness spells trouble for the framily. I heart your loved-up version of Bette & Tina and I enjoyed their poolside conversation, kissing and decision to have another baby. *Thank you, sofa!* :>
LOL! myth or otherwise, I feel duty bound to reveal that i can count on the fingers of more than one hand the number of times I’ve drunk enough to *forget* it all the next day. Ok, so one time I had concussion, one time I drank absinthe from Paris and one time I got into a vodka shooters match with a 6ft 3inch tall ginger haired guy and lost. I can’t really recall the offending insults the other times but I can assure you. It does happen kids :P
Oh thank goodness the princess of the dark did not deflower the younger sister of Bette. At least now, Lottie can breath again and get her self together. First thing she needs to do is let Kit know that it was just poker and not the other.
…also, I have to agree with helebette, your characters are all so damn likeable! I don’t hate Jenny nearly as much as usual, which is definitely an accomplishment. And I just wanna be best friends with all the others…
you know Jenny just can’t help writing bad things, so I am sure some disastrous version of untruth is going to be printed about Lottie. I am VERY glad to see Lottie did not have sex with Jenny.
Thank GOD she didn’t sleep with that creep Jenny. I also love that B&T are talking about having another baby, and NO Jenny can’t go to Paris with the gang. Thanks for the updae, PPS :o).
That was fun and thanks god Lottie didn’t have sex with jenny. Please post more, thanks!
awww, this story is so so so worth losing sleep over. i’m going to go give you a cuddle now, for posting it at such insane hours. it keeps getting more interesting with each chapter and i must say, i hate jenny *less* with your telling…i think you’ve written her with much more compassion than i could have, and i think she makes a really interesting addition to the story. helena and alice should get it on again soon, they’re a good pairing the way you write it. xo babe, excellent work
Oh goody,Sofa is back with an update, and it was wonderful as always. Poor Lottie, that is an awful feeling not knowing what happened after consumming to much. I truly enjoyed reading every word but did you have to go 11 pages before the answer came out? Do you think that maybe Alice’s condo can have a power serge or somthing to make all Jennys writing disapear? Waiting paciently for the next update while your doing “better things”. Thank you, Md
awesome update bette and tina gonna try for baby number 2…jenny and lottie played poker, but i wonder what jenny is writing about lottie!more drama! :)PPS
What a coincidence! I just happened to be wearing my David Bowie t-shirt AND my Ramones underpants while reading this! I think I might have gone with Patti Smith on a Sunday morning, but Wilson has the exuberance of adolescence. Anyway, very good to see you post (If that HB person is in fact close enough to give you a cuddle, YOU are close enough to give her yet another kick to do the same). But I thought this chapter was ready long ago-can’t steal enough bandwidth to post more often? Very glad that Lottie didn’t actually go there with La Jenny, but I’m sure the Mistress of Darkness will have enough fodder from the experience to bring yet more misery to the lives of her (cannibalized) “friends”. Steal more bandwidth soon.
Thanks for the update sofa. Will Jenny hide in the luggage and accompany everyone to Paris?
have i mentioned that you’re my favorite writer? xoxoxoxox
Oh THANK GOD there was no Lottie/Jenny action…I think I would’ve thrown up a little :PAlice & Helena are too cute, and I can really see them…and of course I love bette & tina, and would love them to have another kid (though they’d have to be on equal terms, of course, not like the first time round…)
