Page 79 of Alice Carver Manifests Her Perfect Life
‘Really?’
‘Yes!’ I said, trying not to feel guilty about the fact that last week I’d told Cara she might want to try a light-therapy mask for her crêpe-y neck. But only because she was saying the Charlotte Tilbury Magic cream she’d just bought didn’t seem to do a lot and that she hasn’t had any matches on eHarmony in the last fourteen months since she updated her profile pic.
‘Have you thought about what’s going to happen after this date with Guy?’ asked Astrid.
‘Sex.’
‘After that!’
‘More sex.’
‘What do you actually want from Guy?’ said Astrid. ‘A relationship?’
‘I prefer to live for today, Astrid,’ I said coldly. ‘It’s not healthy to plan too far ahead. We don’t all have control issues.’
‘Oh right. Well, that’s entirely consistent with your manifestation fixation.’ She looked at me like I was a major irritation in her life. ‘I don’t think you really have a clue what you want, Alice.’
I chose not to point out that maybe she didn’t know what she wanted either, unless of course she was actively wanting to screw up her marriage. I chose not to, because I want to stay living in Astrid’s house, thus proving that I am very much a woman who knows what she wants. Actually. Many people would hail me as ‘clued-up’. Well, I would.
I am grateful for:
Having the good fortune to be me, rather than Arrie or Astrid. Or worse still, Roger or Aziz who have to be married to my sisters – so grateful not to be them!

Manifesting is a team effort – tell her what you want, what you really, really want…
The first step to getting what you want, is to know what you want. And you need toreallyknow what you want. Vague ideas lead to vague outcomes. This is why it’s so important to be as clear and precise about your desires: the devil is in the detail.
Take this example: Nancy from Ohio really wanted a boyfriend. She had some vague ideas of what it could be like – someone who brought her things, didn’t give up on her, and who loved her. So she went ahead and manifested. ‘Please Universe, I want a boyfriend.’ A week later, the mailman started sending her extra parcels so he could ask her out and keep asking her out. He said he loved her. Eventually Nancy took out a restraining order because he wouldn’t leave her alone and she thought he was a creep.
So… did the Universe get it wrong? No! Nancy gothermanifesting process wrong – she didn’t go into enough detail.
Fact: The more you are able to give to the Universe, the more she will be able to give you.

What is the manifestation?
I am on a date with Guy Carmichael
Where is it taking place?
At the Mandrake so that we can have sex in the bathrooms when he’s overcome with lust
When?
Thursday lunchtime!
What happens?
The maître d’ knows my name and gives me an undisguised look of appreciation because I look so hot in my H&M Gucci knock-offs, and leads me straight over to the best table in the house where Guy’s already waiting. Despite his commanding nature to which everyone in the room instinctively responds, when he sees me, Guy experiences a rare moment of nervousness and doubt as to whether he’s worthy of me. But Guy quickly pulls himself together and we sit opposite one another, sexual tension sizzling. He asks me all about myself and finds himself intrigued and amused and fascinated. He quickly realises I’m an intellect to be reckoned with, and starts seeking my opinion about work-related matters but I gently redirect him to enjoy the date. The food is delicious and I eat it daintily and sexily, without spilling anything down myself. Near the end of the meal, I stand up and excuse myself and sashay away. Guy Carmichael cannot contain himself. He follows me to the bathrooms which are mercifully empty; he catches me mid-selfie and we have mind-blowing sex in one of the stalls. During sex he is hard and urgent and masterful and confesses, at the end, that he’s catching feelings already. I laugh. We travel back in the car together, holding hands and at the end he asks, hopefully, when he can see me again. I post my selfie on Insta and get a lot of likes. Charlotte notices Guy’s hairy knuckle, just in shot, and feels extremely jealous.
How are you feeling?
