Summer Vacation. Chapter 8
“And you’re all still friends?” Lottie checked, still not completely getting it.
“No …” replied Alice, “we’re family.”
“Thank you so much for everything you’ve done Bette,” Terry gushed, shaking her hand eagerly.
Bette offered him a warm smile, though she was pleased to have the presentation over with it had still gone rather well. It was nice to be back in a place of academia where she’d studied and where she was now considered to be the success against their failure.
It was challenging not to feel smug. A test to have stood before them with the raw unemotional facts; their lack of funding, their lack of materials, no media centre or specialist teaching. Bette was finding that people flocked to UCLA to teach ‘for her’ as much as for the students, all those years of sucking up to artists and showing off their work even when she hated their style was finally paying off. It seemed that over the years Terry had been less willing as a curator to stray too far from the pack.
She smiled graciously as they all said how wonderful she was before making a move to leave, pulling Terry to one side for a quiet final word …
“You won’t forget now will you?” she asked, “what I said about that girl … you have to admit Terry that she should be doing Art.”
Terry found her convincing, intimidating even as she held on to him tightly around the top of his arm, commanding him to take notice of her.
“No Bette,” he said with a smile, “I won’t forget.”
“Okay that’s me done …” said Lottie as she poked her head round Tina’s office door shortly before 4pm,
“How did the group go?” Tina asked, lifting her head wearily from a mountain of paperwork.
“Fine,” replied Lottie, “like you said it virtually runs itself … no problems.”
“Think you’ll be happy to keep it on then?” said Tina, feeling the need to pull together some kind of structure for Lottie’s time with her
“Sure …” answered Lottie, hesitantly.
The truth was that with Bette due back Lottie was having a hard time picturing herself staying around long, or at least sticking with Tina for long. She was beginning to regret getting herself so entwined in their lives,

Yes Bette getting home early is great. What is the connection between Lottie & Bette? You are killing us here…will Bette see what Lottie looks like and know her? How will Lottie react when seeing Bette face to face? More please.
i think lottie and bette are sisters. i mean bette’s mum gave birth to lottie after she left melvin and found someone else. and that’s how they share the artistic character. however they are connected, it’s a great story. thanks a lot and post soon!
The whole chapter was superb…and Bette’s going home early/sweet, Tina will be so happy…will she faint when she sees look-a-like Lottie??? Angie is a mischief!!!! like a lot of little girlz…and Aunt Alice is ssooooooo informative to Lottie….Jo and Lottie?? more family members???…love it…look forward to the next chapter.
That wasn’t nearly long enough to fix my addiction to this story. Like everyone else I have my theories on who Lottie is, but I guess I will have to wait and see. I love this story. Please Post Very Soon.
I’m surprised Lottie didn’t ask Alice about the line between Helena and Tina. And Angie…OMG. The look. LOL!
Yes homeward bound. Can’t wait for Tina and Bette to get together. Oh wait, that means that Bette will get home the night of the party. That should be interesting.
Good chapter and Angie is so cute, Bette is coming home!
YAY!!!… Dreams DO come true! Bette coming home early is awesome!!! I hope it will be during the barbecue, when everyone is around… And here comes the big entrance of Bette Porter! Anyway, the morning phone call was so sweet. I’m sorry but I’ll say it again, there is something really special and awesome about your writing about B&T. I can’t get enough of it! Thanks.
Wonderful story! Thank you!
