Bette sighed, forcing another smile, she hadn’t seen him since they were both students here, so many years ago. He’d been short and skinny even back then, now he was short, skinny and bald.
She took a deep breath leaning forwards, thinking it had to end soon,
“You know Terry, they sound like great ideas … you’ve certainly given me some things to think about.” she said, hoping not to bruise his ego too severely, after all her Art College was currently rated top whilst his was flailing somewhere down around tenth.
She watched his eyes light up with pleasure, he was right, he did desperately need her help. The officious side of her longed to jump right in and lay bare all the departments flaws but that side of Bette had quelled over the years. She laughed to herself he was a bit of a wally; always too afraid to lay his passions on the line, he loved art but understood far too little about it. He was right about one thing though, there was no way her beloved NYU should rank tenth for Arts, once upon a time it had meant so much more than that.
She made motions to leave, pulling out her credit card,
“No Bette … let me get this,” Terry insisted, eager to show he was making it too.
“Alright,” Bette agreed, with a smile, “but I really must go Terry … I’ll see you for the proposal meeting on Friday.”
He nodded, shaking her hand graciously as she stood to leave, silently praying she was going to save his ass.
Lottie leant against the wall outside Tina’s office waiting for her to finish with her last patient of the day, a stack of files and letters requiring signatures balanced in her arms. She listened to them wrapping things up, standing aside politely as the patient left.
“Hey” she said, dumping the files on Tina’s desk. Tina sat back, waiting for instruction.
“I’ve sorted these files for you to report on,” Lottie continued, “and there’s some letters here that just need your signature.”
Tina nodded, “Okay.”
Lottie perched herself in the chair opposite, “Tina … is everything okay?”
Tina looked at her for a moment studying the tension in her smile, the nervousness in her voice as she’d asked her question. The part of her that was a mother wanted to lecture on responsibility and how the way to get ahead wasn’t through turning in to work late looking like you hadn’t slept. But she looked better now, and she looked sorry, so the part of her that still recalled her own dumb adventures won out. Remembering all those mornings of Bette bringing her coffee and orange juice and tylenol in bed before gently easing her into the shower after one of Alice’s Tequila challenges, she would curse Bette for how good she looked on so much alcohol and so little sleep.

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
