Bette smirked. “I thought you read it?”
“Not all of it.” Lottie paused and blushed. “I got halfway down the first page and then I got so mad I just stormed out of there and over to Alice’s to have it out with her.”
Bette chuckled, as if to say ‘of course.’
Lottie tugged on her arm. “What,”
“Nothing.” Bette grinned, “nothing, it’s just that’s exactly what I would have done.” She sat back too, her arms crossed and folded in her lap as she glanced over her shoulder to hear the faint tones of Tina and Angie chattering away in the kitchen. “Let’s just say that Jenny and I haven’t always got along.” She decided upon diplomatically.
Lottie snorted and rolled her eyes. “Yeah, whatever.”
Bette was saved from anything else as Angie came bounding through, super excited that Lottie had come around for lunch to break up the long holiday days.
“Mama says y’all should wash-up now because lunch is ready.” She giggled, mimicking Tina’s hint of Southern drawl.
Bette jumped up and grabbed her daughter round the waist, tickling her and spinning her before they both came to a halt. She turned Angie to face Lottie. “Look, it’s little Miss North Carolina, isn’t she gorgeous?”
Angie giggled, since clearly it was a longstanding joke and well understood that whilst thinking her daughter the most adorable creature on the planet, Bette would never allow her to be showcased in any such way. “Stop it Mom …”
Bette sighed and let her go.
Angie ran towards Lottie, stopped and turned. “Jeez Mom you’re such a goof!” She took Lottie’s hand and started dragging her outside. “Come on, Mama bought this book on Paris and I wanna show you a picture of this really cool café I wanna go to.”
Lottie let herself be dragged away, not failing to notice the look on Bette’s face that she felt ‘past it’ somehow, in their daughters eyes.
Tina caught up with her seconds later, standing in the middle of the living room processing the idea that she was all of a sudden ‘un-cool’. She bit a celery stick in half as she walked, “What’s up babe?”
Bette turned and smiled, grateful that if they were growing older and wiser and losing touch with Angie’s youth then at least they were doing it together.

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
