Summer Vacation. Chapter 5
“Alice?” questioned Bette, feeling slightly sorry for Lottie
“Yep, went back to The Planet to meet her after she dropped Angel off.”
Bette sighed
“Look, you’re reading way too much into this. So she lives in a hotel, I’ll admit it’s a little weird but I’ve known weirder. Angie seems to like her, Kit said she was a nice girl and you’ve said yourself she’s been a godsend at work?” Bette stated, not waiting for acknowledgement. “Maybe she’s a bit of a loner, or maybe there’s a boyfriend, or even a girlfriend lurking about that you don’t know about, not everybody wears their heart on their sleeve like you do Tina.” She finished, finding it a little too early in the day for this sort of conversation.
Tina mumbled something in agreement, still feeling like Bette was missing the point.
“Look baby,” said Bette, “I can’t talk for much longer my flight leaves in a couple of hours.”
“What time will you get to Philly?” asked Tina
“I should be at my fathers by about 1pm … which reminds me, there’s a purchasers file on the desk in my office which James needs.” she added
“Want me to drop it in to him?” Tina offered
“If you don’t mind,” Bette replied, “it’s really better that he gets it today.”
Tina pulled up across the street from the gallery on their way over to Kits instructing Angie to wait in the car as she jumped out and ran across, aware that they were already half an hour late. She pushed through the glass entrance doors and paused for a moment to absorb the feeling of Bette which always washed over her when she entered one of Bette’s galleries, it had always been that way ever since right back when they first met. She waved up at Margie on the front desk.
“Hey Margie, I have something for James,” she said, waving the green file in the air, “is he in his office?” she asked.
Margie nodded, “Go on up Tina.”
Tina turned to make her way through the first of the ground floor exhibition rooms and up the staircase at the other end when she stopped dead in her tracks, observing Lottie as she stood in the centre of the first room staring at a black and white abstract canvas by Elize Du’bess which just happened to be one of Bette’s favourites.

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?????????????????????????????
