“That’s good though. Wish I could say the same about the garage.”

“Has it still not picked up?”

“Nope. I’m getting worried now. I think I’m either going to have to lay someone off or I’ll have to sell it to pay the overheads.

“Oh D, I’m sorry.

“It’s okay but thank you.” This small talk is nice but I’m bursting to tell her about Adam now. “Anyway, I’ve got something to tell you.”

“Oh yeah? I’m intrigued.”

“Yeah, I’ve met someone.”

“Met someone? We meet people all the time in our job. Don’t be evasive.”

“Fine! I’ve got a boyfriend…”

“Fuck off, really?”

“Why do you sound so shocked? Am I that bad?”

“Shut the fuck up D you know I don’t mean it like that. It’s just you haven’t been interested.”

“Yeah well, let’s just say he was persistent.”

“Good for him. Now don’t leave anything out, I want to know everything!”

I launch into full disclosure and tell her everything about Adam Willows and the time we’ve been spending together, also what I’ve been doing this weekend, by the time I’m finished Leah is speechless - she knows how much I go out.

I look at the timer on my phone and realise we’ve been talking for an hour and a half, so with a promise to call her in the week, we hang up.

She was so excited when I told her about Adam. Looking at the photo I took of Adam and I from when we were lying on his bed yesterday, I send it to her through messenger and wait for her reply.

I grab a clean towel from the airing cupboard and head for the shower. Standing under the warm water I let it soothe me and run all over my body. I squeeze some apple scented shampoo into my palm and wash my hair.

Remembering the idea from earlier on, I quickly wash my body and step from the shower. I wrap myself up in a towel and go back into my bedroom. I sit on the end of the bed and run my hand down the satin of the bodice.

Drying myself off with the towel, I step into the thong and pull it up my legs, then opening the hook and

eyes at the back of the bodice, I put it on backwards, once it’s fastened I spin it around and pull it upwards, slipping my arms in the straps, I pull them up to sit in place on my shoulders.

Once it’s on, I grab my phone, click on the camera and stand in front of my full-length mirror. I towel dry my hair, brush it then flip my head upside down and ruffle it through with my fingers. When I bring my head back up, my hair is falling down my back in its layers that were cut into it a while ago.

Grabbing my phone and quickly answering Leah’s text, I position the phone and pose in the mirror and take a selfie. Pulling up messenger, I find Adam’s name and send it to him, let’s see if he likes that then.
