Dana and Lara waited silently for her to finish, both wearing expressions suggesting this was normal behaviour for Alice. After she had been quiet for several seconds Lara turned to introduce herself to Lottie, who sat looking thoroughly out of place and uncomfortable.
“Hi, I’m Lara,” she said, putting down her cutlery and wiping her hands on her napkin before shaking hands, “and this is Dana, my partner.”
“Hi,” Dana grinned.
Lottie smiled at them both, “Lottie,” she offered, although Alice had already done that part, “I’m …” she hesitated, attempting to come up with a reason for her presence, “Alice’s friend Tina’s psychology student and Alice was just giving me a lift.” She added, indicating with her foot the huge apple bag on the floor.
“Yeah,” laughed Alice, “she’s so new to LA” she teased, rolling her eyes
Dana frowned at Alice indicating she shouldn’t poke fun, “Our friend Tina too.” she added.
They chatted for a while and every time Lottie made a reference to leaving Alice stopped her, keen to keep her new playmate. With Bette away in New York, Tina acting all melancholy and Lisa banning her from calling or visiting until her in-laws left she was feeling a little lonely and Lottie was interesting enough to keep her entertained. Not long afterwards Dana left to teach a class at the country club and Lara disappeared in the back to work on the new menu, leaving them both alone again.
“So?” wondered Alice, “that’s a big purchase for a Sunday morning.”
Lottie blushed, “Yeah … um … there was something that I wanted to buy for someone off Amazon.”
“The hotel doesn’t have a net café?” asked Alice, believing of course that a hotel like The Renaissance definitely would.
Lottie laughed, “Probably”
Alice gave her a friendly smile.
“I offered to help Angie’s teacher with their school play,” she explained, “and there’s this DVD I wanted to get but I’ve only ever seen it in England … anyway,” she continued, realising it wasn’t really a reason but just that she’d not in any way thought ‘not’ to go out and buy the laptop … “I always wanted one of these.”
“What’s the play?” Alice asked
“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” said Lottie

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