They both fell silent, Bette still trying to rouse her sleep-addled brain into action.
“You know … Lottie’s offered to help Angel’s teacher with the play whilst she’s here,” Tina proffered, in a way that suggested to Bette that she was already privy to this information and should have been commenting on it before now.
“Really?” questioned Bette.
Tina bit into a carrot stick, “yup, something about Miss Parkes not giving her much of a choice.”
Bette waited, knowing that what Tina was ‘really’ trying to say was just moments away.
“She mentioned she thought Angel’s teacher was hitting on her.” Tina stated, easing the idea onto Bette.
“Hmn,” replied Bette, slow to respond, “who’d have thought it? all those parent-teacher conferences and I never caught on to that one.” she paused, unsure why Tina anticipated this to be a big deal “T? …” she asked, trying to make a joke of it “does this mean my gaydar’s broken?”
Tina laughed, “I’m sure it’s fine baby.”
Bette glanced over at the time and mentally clocked up the list of things she had to do before her flight and the time in which she had to do them, immediately sacrificing a swim to talk more with Tina about whatever it was that was making her sound like she had one hundred and one things on her mind.
“T, what’s up?” she asked, finding ‘to the point’ to work best.
“Huh? … what do you mean?” Tina said, beginning to attack another carrot.
Bette sighed, “Tina you can tell me now, or we can do more silly chit chat with me talking and you not listening and you can tell me then, which is it to be?”
Tina laughed, “I was thinking about Lottie spending her weekend alone at the hotel.”
“A very nice hotel.” Bette noted
“A hotel all the same”
“So what? … you feel guilty because she’s staying at a hotel?” Bette asked, not seeing the issue, thinking they had already discussed and agreed on this.
“No,” said Tina, exasperated, “well, yes – I do, but no, that’s not the problem.”
“Then what is Tina?”
“WHY is she staying at a hotel Bette? … I mean, don’t you think it’s strange, don’t you think it’s a little odd? … she said herself she doesn’t know anyone here … so what? she’s making friends with Angie’s school teacher … and Alice?” Tina finished in a irate tone, annoyed with herself that her own concern was turning in to frustration.

Maybe an unknown sister
your still killing me… and if you left any clues … well i missed them… unles lottie was talking with melvin while bette was talking to tina on her cell… ok waiting for the next chapter
I think maybe Bette had a child and the father raised her, I dont believe that Melvin knows about it. Lottie is just trying to find out about her other parent. It happens all the time when the child get older. thanks
wow u’ve got me going on this one…all signs makethis Bette’s daughter BUT i have a feeling not!!!! Is Lottie’s dad, Bette’s brother through their mother, Maxine…or is Lottie Bette’s half-sister through Maxine and this mysterious dad????? I gotta know soon, pleaszzzzzzzzzzz
Give the girl a car. Everyone in LA has a car. She can affor a hotel for the summer, but no car, no realistic. Thanks for sharing!
Maybe Tina feels like Lottie is trying to take her place somehow. I’m definitely sucked in, so PPS!
You are driving your readers…me included…crazy trying to figure out how Lottie might be related to Bette. I for one give up and will just wait until you tell us.
i’m getting really worried about that lottie person, she’s bothering me a little though i don’t think she’s evil or anything but she’s seriously disturbed, sort of LOL…i hope bette gets home soon
I love this story! Bette needs to come home before Tina loses it. If that is Bette’s daughter then will this put a riff in their relationship? I mean Bette had all these years to tell Tina…and I remember you had Kit say something about Bette going to Paris when she was 19 and Melvin didn’t know where she was….oh the suspense I love it!
Who really is Lottie!
Intriguing. Can wait to see what the relationship is between Bette and Lottie. Hope this info is coming soon.
cant wait for there more and bette/lottie to meet where we can see where it leads to…p.p.s.
I feel like Tina. Who is this Lottie person? She can’t be Bette’s daughter, can she? Has Lottie patterned her life to follow Bette’s. You really have us guessing. Keep Posting.
Gotta tell you, I love this story, and the storyline, and the whole mystery around who Lottie is, etc, but honestly, what I love the most about this story (and maybe your writing in general as i hope to find out with more stories of yours) is the way you portray Bette and Tina’s relationship. There are a lot of amazing authors on this site and a lot of them have done a fantastic job in describing the life-long relationship that B&T indeed have in our favorite fanfic land, but there is something very special about your B&T… They are so “together”, and real life-partners at so many levels. I mean, the very fact that you start this story with them both on opposite sides of the country and still make them appear closer and more in love than ever is simply amazing, and so addictive may I add! I really love your style and some the tiny details you integrate here and there… like this feeling of Bette that Tina gets everytime she enters one of Bette’s galleries… Tiny detail, but oh so meaningful! Thanks, and please post soon!
damn whooooooo is Lottie?????????????????????????????
