“What if she’s good enough to be an Art student she just chose not to be one?” asked Tina in a low voice, knowing she risked an argument continuing this with Bette in her present mood.
“Then she made a mistake” answered Bette flatly, “and she knows she made one or she wouldn’t have entered the competition.”
Tina paused, “You know what Bette, not everyone is blessed with the dogged-determination you have … some people actually let their minds rule them on occasion too, not just their hearts.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” cried Bette,
“Nothing …” sighed Tina, regretting what she started.
“I’m telling you T … I’m right, and I don’t even know her … she wouldn’t have entered that competition if she didn’t think she was good enough, or that she’d made a mistake … and if the picture’s as good as that article says it is then my first piece of advice to Terry on Friday will be to do whatever it takes to poach her back to an Art Major because a girl who wins the Archibald Kennedy Prize in her freshman year shouldn’t be doing pre-med!”
“Argh!” cried Tina, angry that her cosy lunchtime chat with Bette had descended into a debate.
She found herself unable to shake the replay in her head of her conversation with Lottie … ‘people have always told me what I should and shouldn’t do …’ she yelled at Bette, unable to stop herself, aware that most of West Hollywood could hear her, “You are impossible sometimes!”
Later that evening, Lottie sat up at the counter in The Planet waiting for Kit to finish and join her so they could talk about a job.
“So how was work?” asked Kit as she fixed herself a latte and Lottie an espresso.
“Alright,” replied Lottie, “although I guess Tina’s conversation with Bette didn’t get any better cos she wouldn’t smile at anyone after lunch.”
Kit nodded, “I noticed none of you came in here for sandwiches,” she said, indicating a couple still in the counter which looked as though they’d been saved to one side.
“I went to Ruby’s house when things got heated,” Lottie explained, not wishing to admit that she’d avoided the Wednesday book-club, “her mom made Mexican food, but I’ll take a sandwich for dinner if the offer’s still on,” she added, not in a hurry to leave.

Yeh great story I also think that she is Bette’s half sister
Whoa…u wrote so well…but I don’t get the telephone fight, meaning I saw NO REASON for either to get mad BUT as it lead to a make-up phone convo okay!!!! Loving the suspense but not forever, huh???? Are u gonna leave it for Bette to get home and see Lotte for the big reveal…hope Bette comes home early to surprise Tina, of course!!!!
oh yeah, I’d prefer for her to be Bette’s half-sister; same mom, different dad’s…
You’re wonderful – posting all those chapters in a row!! Thank You. Love it ! Love it ! Love it ! But what the heck is “stropping”? Or am I just so far removed? Please continue. _Soon_
Is it Monday yet? I can’t wait for Bette and Tina to get together for family time without kids. Also I wonder if Bette will see something in Lottie that will get her mind to wondering.
Sofasitter you have spun a web that is very mysterious. So Bette isn’t Lottie’s mother unless Lottie lied to Tina about her mother dying when she was 7…shoot she is lying about her reason for being in LA so why wouldn’t she lie about that? If Tina and Bette would have been talking about anything else they would have had an argument also because Angelica said that’s what they do…it’s part of the process. I hope Bette comes home early…in time for the BBQ. I love this story and I hope you post again soon and end all of our guessing.
Good chapter!
God, I love this B&T! I think you’re giving us an awesome relationship here!… Okay, I know monday is not too far away, but I can’t help but hope for a suprise early return… A girl can dream, right? Thanks!
story is great!please,please,Bette needs come back soon and Lottie tell her secret!! I like big chapters.
You are really making me more crazy than I already am because of trying to figure out about Lottie. Hope you let us know about that mystery soon. I know when you read these comments you are probably laughing, because as you can see I am not the only one going crazy here. LOL Thanks and please don’t keep is on the edge of our seats too much longer.
So is this Bette’s sister and its Bette’s mom that died recently? Answers, I want answers!!!!!
Who the hell is she and what is she to Bette?
I’m betting she’s Bette’s half-sister…Because of the “white mother” comment and “no mention of Kit”…But we’ll see…
Yeah, I’d get touchy if Bette was away and I were Tina. But glad they had such a nice make-up conversation. :) Lottie’s getting cozy with the teacher!!
