“She was at Bette’s gallery this afternoon,” Tina said.
“So?” said Kit, “I told her about it the other day, remember?”
Tina pulled the Saab up a little way down the street from Wax and shut off the engine, she spied Alice’s car up ahead. Suddenly she felt less than sociable, wanting to be at home cuddled up on the sofa with Bette or at the very least going to the party with Bette, anywhere with Bette really. She pulled out her cell phone and called Alice.
“TK!” yelled Alice, moving away from the bar and shoving one finger in her ear in an attempt to hear, “Where are you?”
“I’m not coming Al,” said Tina, willing Alice not to make a fuss, “sorry.”
“Okay,” said Alice, “everything okay? Is my beautiful niece okay?”
“Yeah Al, she’s fine, she’s with Kit … I’m just not in the mood.”
“Fine,” said Alice, “I guess I’ll just have to take down Nadia Merchant by myself.”
“No” groaned Tina, “Nadia Merchant … Alice what the fuck?”
“Relax TK, it was a joke … look,” she said, “I gotta go, I can barely hear you.”
Later, Tina sat up in bed cradling the book in her lap Bette had been reading before she left for New York, and a cup of camomile tea, waiting for Bette to call her back. She glanced around the room at their family photographs; Bette and Angelica on her first day of school, her and Bette on their ‘wedding day’ dressed beautifully in cream with red roses in their hair. Their friends all huddled barefoot on the beach outside Helena’s Malibu home with Angelica between them in her little bridesmaid dress. Bette, Kit and Melvin with Angelica when she turned five, the photograph of the first time she held her after she was born, that first ever picture Bette had taken of the two of them together … she jumped as the phone rang in her hand.
“Hey baby,” said Bette, “sorry about earlier.”
“That’s okay,” replied Tina, “is he feeling better?”
Melvin’s health wasn’t what it used to be and when she’d called before she’d caught Bette on her way out to the drugstore to renew his prescription. Tina hadn’t overlooked the worry she’d heard in Bette’s voice that her father hadn’t got his helper to do it already.

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