Lottie was like a small porthole window into the aspect of their lives she’d missed out on, for Lottie knew nothing of anything prior to a few months before. In that respect was she was like a clean slate, a blank piece of parchment Jenny couldn’t resist leaving a mark upon. So when she turned up angry and defensive over her big sister, an idol in her eyes, Jenny’s wicked and jealous streak set to work on an alcoholic conversion that in the light of sober day she could see was fun for her but perhaps not so fun for Lottie. In her older years they might have been mistaken for thinking she hadn’t changed at all but with every year that passed came a new appreciation for regrets. And Bette could be a useful ally who might not appreciate the drunken corruption of her little sister.
She wondered where the younger woman went, whether she was sitting with Alice and Helena right now telling them every detail of Vodka martinis and drinking games. Picking up the empty glasses and bottles from the table in the lounge Jenny realised that wherever she was Lottie was only half dressed and that her bra and cardigan were peaking out from underneath the sofa. She did her best writing this way, with some new experience to draw on; eyes still caked in make-up, dog still whining to be walked. The day before her would melt away as she opened up her laptop to write, hoping that the finished product would be enough to get her published back on the West Coast, regardless of the consequences. If she was in it to make friends she would have stopped long before.

“I should go.” Lottie mumbled, “I have to face the music sometime.”
The Planet had just opened and she and Kit sat with Che up the back enjoying the peace and quiet before the morning rush. Matilda was whistling some dance tune as she fixed herself a coffee and Harry, the slightly dopey looking student Kit had taken on to help out over summer, was watching her do it as if he’d never seen anything like it before in his life.
“I don’t know why I took him on.” Kit stated, ignoring Lottie’s attempt to leave. She knew the answer really; she was a sucker for hopeless boys who looked lost like they needed a mother.

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…)
