Bette shrugged. “I don’t know, I guess these things usually get planned more in advance.”
“I … er …” Lottie hesitated for a second, wary of piling yet another thing onto their plate. “Bette … I ‘might’ have told Dana she and Lara could use the plane next week to go to London too.”
Bette glanced up, unsure if she heard right, it took a second or two to sink in. “London?”
Lottie nodded. “Yeah.”
“Why London?”
Lottie shrugged. “Dana said they needed a break, but Lara wont take one because she’s saving for the baby coming and it just seemed like …” her voice trailed off, not sure if Bette was annoyed with her or not for arranging those sorts of plans on her own.
Bette smiled softly. “That was nice of you.” She put down the business schedules and possible flight times and sat back on the sofa, observing Lottie’s nervousness. “Did you think I’d be cross or something?”
Lottie shrugged again.
“You’re right.” Bette shuffled closer towards her. “Dana and Lara do need a break.” She paused, “come to think of it so does Kit. I wish we could take her with us.”
“Why don’t we?” Lottie asked, still feeling like she owed Kit for rescuing her from Jenny’s clutches. “Her and Che?”
Bette shook her head. “She wont,” she presumed. “And anyway, if Lara’s going there’d be no one to look after The Planet.”
Lottie nodded, “Right.”
They sat in silence then, both feeling indecisive and rushed at the same time. Bette had two weeks in which she was meetings free and Tina had rearranged her clients to take a couple of weeks off herself but the list of things to be done both in America before they left and in Paris during their time there just seemed to be growing and growing. Joyce faxed over new contract documents daily and it seemed that Bette putting off her inevitable meeting with Lewis Crantz, the director of the board of trustees was either going to have to happen in the next few days or else it would follow her to Paris and happen there. It didn’t help Bette’s stress levels either that Angie saw the Paris trip as her Summer holiday and wouldn’t stop badgering everyone about going to Euro Disney, and added into that the fact that Lottie had suddenly gone quiet on her and seemed reluctant to go to Paris at all.

There’s some sort of self-possessed multiplication thing going on with the pages … it’s spooky :o
The way you ended this chapter, I’m, uhm, speechless. :-) Li and Lottie were so cute with their awkward period conversation. Family in all its various permutations, loving this story as ever. Thank you, sofasitter!
Wow that was quite the update! Can’t wait for Paris. : )
Another epic chapter, Ms. sofa. Don’t tell me you don’t covet my Ramones panties! Actually, they are imaginary and I would suspect that no matter what one’s gender and orientation might be, little could be more repellent than Joey Ramone’s face on one’s partner’s crotch. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again-that man was uuuuuuugly. Your description of Lottie’s grilling reminded me of my mother’s famous “dryburgers”. My old school father insisted that all meat be cooked to a dry, tough, tasteless state of varying shades of gray. Yum! So the geezers make sparks with glass and might even make a baby. Alice and Helena make it official. (I would have thought Helena would have better security than to let Wilson sneak in and out at will.) And with Lottie’s cocoon of first love opened by Jo’s departure gets to wonder in a new way about relationships. Meanwhile Li and Ang wait in the wings, observers for now.
great to see your post. I do look forward to more.
Trust Bette & Tina to come up with their own twist on how to achieve a sense of tranquility and wellbeing through physical, cardiovascular and VOCAL exercises. *grinning stupidly* That’s one hot yoga session, sofa! Bette even did an advanced leg lift somewhere. LOL! Can’t wait for the Paris chapter(s?). I call it the Oohaa City because you’d go “oooh” or/and “aaah” at almost every turn. Bette, Lottie and Angie would bask in the art works there everywhere. Will Jenny join the trip? I feel kinda sorry for her because she’s the lone single in the group. Maybe you can pair her with someone else, but not Max please. As for your rebuttal on the “myth”, I stand by my vivid recollections of my few trips to Drunkenville. But I understand Lottie’s blurriness. If I accidentally slept or fooled around with someone else just hours after my significant other’s flight, I’d plead alcohol-induced amnesia too. Huge thanks, sofa! :>
Dang that was not in Bette and Tina terms. Hot, sexy and steamy those two. Alice is still a hoot with her defination
Dang it, my computer is acting up or maybe it is my server. Whatever I was in the middle of my comment and then all of sudden it was in cyberspace. Alice is a hoot.
zomg sofa, when do we get another installment? This one is absolutely fantastic…and HOT like whoa…and now I miss ’em all and want to hear more!!
wow…that was super hot…and it even had tina involved and i *still* thought it was hot! that takes mad skills babe, which you have in abundance. as i sit here and you write away, tap tap tapping all that brilliance onto your jet-black space-age million dollar micro-laptop, i am sort of daydreaming about your first book signing and how i might get free espressos as the grrrrlfriend of the brilliant author. i look forward to that day, but for serious! because you’re uber-brilliant. i like how each chapter is just a really really good story and i want to read more no matter how little interest i have in the actual show! this should *be* the show, i’ve said that before, but i defo think that IC should hit you up to write a never-ending ‘summer vacation’ version of the L word. ok, i’ll stop embarassing you now, but you deserve all the gushing love. xoxoxox and pps;)
YOGA FIGURE 69, WELL DONE. lOVE THE STORY. Glad u r reading IF IT WASN’T. Its supposed to be a short story…a diversion for ONLY U and MELTDOWN really because I can’t bear to bring them closer to the end, I have a problem with endings!! pps
As I have said many times before I just LOVE this story. I was reading Greentea’s story which has extensive info about yoga but didn’t mention 69 at all lol good learn sumthin new:)PPS
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM, Sofa, I would have had one of those nice little family comments to make back on pg. 11 but not I think I’m just a llttle to flustered. Ok, going to look for a yoga partner. Thank you, Md
See… that was hot. So hot that I’m feeling all goofy now. I’m sure I had something witty to say about Al and Hels but that’s all gone now. I’ll maybe remember it at some later point, and it really won’t have been that witty at all. I really can’t wait til they all get to Paris. Great chapter, thanks for the update, sofa. cheers!
Yoga, rofl alice is too much. love the li and lottie chat,lol..kit is so funny calling bette on her lets make a baby look,lol… fantastic update!! :)PPS
