Summer Vacation. Chapter 6
“Yeah,” replied Lottie, she’s downstairs waiting for me
“Okay …” said Tina, smiling, “see you later” she added as Lottie disappeared out the door, “and thanks for the coffee” she yelled down the stairs.
She flicked through her morning files, refreshing her memory of the patients she was due to see. Reaching the last file at the bottom of the pile she paused, it wasn’t a patient record but a smaller folder containing all the applications for the student summer placement, all two of them.
Breaking off a small piece of her bagel she pulled out Lottie’s application again and switched on her computer. It was strange how when she’d read the application the first time none of the information in it meant anything to her, all they were really looking for was someone competent and available, she fit the bill fine. Now it basically told her everything she wanted to know, her home address, her college address and her father’s phone number. Tina paused, was it a huge invasion of privacy?
She read the name and number twice,
In case of emergency contact: Jefferson Mitchell, Oakland Media, San Francisco, 415 949 7270
She sipped her coffee slowly, looking over the number a third, and fourth time. She opened up Google and typed in ‘Jefferson Mitchell Oakland Media’, then sat back and waited.
Lots of hits. She opened the first one … Oakland Media, Company Director Jefferson A Mitchell, a major publishing house and media conglomerate operating in the San Francisco Bay area … owned several small newspapers, one big radio station and a couple of publishing companies. The second one was Oakland Media again, “Jefferson buys out declining Gazette” … the third a picture of Jefferson and his wife at an awards ceremony and a few more after that at various charity functions.
Tina sat back, looking at the picture of Jefferson and his wife, she couldn’t be Lottie’s mother she wasn’t old enough, she looked barely thirty, although past all the plastic it was kind of hard to tell. She wiped clean the browser and started again with ‘Charlotte Mitchell’.
Nothing. Some old actress, a writer and an English university lecturer took up the first page, she tried again with ‘Charlotte Mitchell San Francisco’ but still nothing. She put in ‘Charlotte Mitchell NYU’ and suddenly there it was … “Young artist Charlotte wins the Archibald Kennedy Prize” she pulled up the article and began to read …
“A freshman medical student, Charlotte Elizabeth Mitchell, 18, has scooped the much coveted Archibald Kennedy ‘Young Artist’s Foundation Prize’ right out from underneath the artists noses! Charlotte, who began her studies at New York University only four months ago was encouraged to submit her piece entitled “The Flight of Time” by one of her college professors through an extra credit art class. The artists are stumped, it is the first time on university record that a non-arts major has won the prize.”
Tina read it again, and then again, before copying the link and sending it to Bette’s email.
The buzzer on the phone went.
“Yes Ruby?”
“Er … Tina … your 9:30’s here”
to be continued ….

I am really enjoying this story. I am anxioulsly awaiting the big reveal!
I made my comment on your last chapter and then I found out you posted another one. But I am still no closer to getting who Lottie is. Please don’t keep us haning too much longer on this. You are really good at giving us just enough info but not enough to figure it out. Thanks
Okay, you keep leaving us on the edge of the cliff. You are good not even a wee bit of infornmation on Lottie. PPS thanks
Charlotte Elizabeth…well someone must’ve been thinking of Bette in some capacity if not Bette herself. PPS!
Oh and the phone conversation about B&T’s first anniversary was HOT!
okay you teaser!tibette anniversary was STEAMIN!HOT! please post soon,and we need more info about lottie.i bet tina figures it out before too long.
i could just about strangle you now (lol) becuz i am desperate to find out who lotte’s mom is; i suspect that its Maxine and Mel’ granddaughter to their son/daughter; maybe Maxine was pregnant when she left Melvin and had a son/daughter and Lottie is this person’s child or Maxine had another relationship with an afro-american and this is their daughter/grandaughter but I am so hanging out to know so u betta post soon!!!
i think lottie is bette’s half sister…and i really hope bette will be home soon because they both are miserable without each other
this is so interesting story i am diying to know what is all the secret! post as soon as you can please
I still think that Lottie is Bette’s half sister but she could be Bette’s child. I do not think that Bette would have kept that quiet but you never know. Lottie is very mysterous. Can’t wait for Bette to get back and finish the job that she started with Tina.
So Lottie is Bettes daughter!
I’m with the others about that phone conversation, but then again, when it comes to B&T loving, I’m a bit biased… Still, that was both tender and so hot, and in that style of yours that I’m really starting to cherish! ;) Great story… Please have Bette come home soon!
I am so waiting for the B/T reunion. Will the real Lottie identify herself soon? Love the cliff hangers.
Was that really 3 pages? That went by quick…so Tina is becoming a regular Angela Lansbury huh? Please post soon so we can find out these mysteries…they are killing me!
your still killing me… i can’t wait to see how you tie them all together… and how long before bette comes home… and will tina be able to still walk… lol… please continue
I hope you tell us soon who Lottie is. Because this is starting to get to me. I just hope she is Bette and Kit’s half sister. Thanks PPS
