“Eugh.” Lottie groaned again preoccupied with the thought of going home and facing an onslaught of questions from Alice.
“Maybe you don’t need to worry about that?” Kit suggested, seeing the lean and slightly sweaty outline of Dana approaching the door of The Planet from the opposite side of the street.
Lottie turned her head and looked. “Oh no.”
Fortunately neither Alice or Helena, nor anyone else was with them as Lara and Dana entered The Planet alone, evidently still in the midst of an earlier argument which had started whilst Dana was still on court.
“I never said you were slowing down.” Lara grumbled helplessly. “What I said was, isn’t it good that Claire is improving, I think that’s the first time I’ve seen her beat you in straight sets?”
“It was.” Dana answered equally grumpily in return. “And I didn’t need to be reminded of that!”
“Oh for God’s sake.” Lara sat down opposite Kit and for a second seemed to consider that it was odd to see Lottie there alone without anyone else. “I don’t feel like working today.” She stated moodily, “it’s too fucking hot.”
Kit nodded. “People keep asking me why we don’t but up the garden space from those offices next door and expand the patio.”
“Why don’t you?” Lottie asked.
“Because it’s too fucking busy already.” Lara replied.
Dana returned from the bar with two iced teas in hand and took the fourth seat around the table, “I’m sorry.” She mumbled, looking to Lara with apologetic eyes, “It’s just too damn hot.”
Lara nodded, “We were just saying.”
Lara took barely a few sips before getting up slowly and making her way back into the kitchen to get to work.
“How long before she has to quit?” Lottie asked, noting that Lara seemed to be handling her pregnancy less well as the summer months just got hotter.
“I don’t know.” Dana replied. “She keeps saying she’s working right up until the last few weeks but I keep telling her she needs to rest more.”
“Is everything ok?” Kit asked, concerned for their friends.
Dana nodded, “Yeah, everything’s fine, she could just do with a holiday somewhere cooler, that’s all.”
It set into motion a thought in Lottie’s mind that had been building ever since she and Bette made the decision to go to Paris together. LA might be sweltering in the summer time and there was no guarantee any city in North America would be any different but in Europe the sea breezes and cooler climates meant summer was altogether a lot more pleasurable.

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…)
