so ordered and bright, warm in winter, cool in summer, the sun streams in of a morning and of an evening the lights of the city dance on the horizon.
     
    I freshened up slowly, and flicked on the kettle, I knew I should be racing downtown but it was pouring outside and so cozy in.  The Opening would more than likely be nearing closing time and by the time I’d get there it would be over. Besides, George did have a point, I wasn’t that keen on going in the first place.
     
    I tried Tash again and finally she answered her phone.
    “Are you okay” she said in a clipped tone.
    “As a matter of fact I’m not feeling very well, I turned my phone on silent whilst having a little nap and ended up falling into a deep sleep, I’m so sorry Tash, I think I’m coming down with something” I lied.
    “I knew there must have been something wrong, I told Lex you wouldn’t let me down.”
    I felt bad lying to Tash, yet relieved, I just didn’t want another drama over George, sex and, well lets face it, my being a slack friend.
    “I don’t know what you mean?” I lied again.
    “Oh Lex thought you’d caught up with George and lost track of time whilst in his bed, crazy I know”
    I felt myself getting irritated, how could she be such a bitch!  How could she know me so well!
    “I knew you wouldn’t do that to me, honey, is there anything I can get for you?”
    “No, I’ll be fine, just need to stay put in bed and rest, I’ll catch up with you tomorrow to hear all about your fabulous night”
    “Okay sweetheart, you look after yourself - if you need anything just call”
     
    I felt so awful, what a rotten friend I was becoming, lying, not turning up to things that I said I would, and taking advantage of kind hearted Tash.  Feeling completely rotten I fell onto my couch and switched through the channels on the TV mindlessly.  I would have felt so much better if Tash had of just called me every name under the sun and dealt with my not turning up instead of lying and having to feel rotten for, well for as long as it would take.   I’ll have to front up at some point, just not now.
     
    The next day was beautiful outside, I decided to ignore the phone and start the day with a jog around the harbour and get some sun before the cooler weather set in.  I got into my jogging gear and ran downstairs after my coffee.  It would have been the perfect thing to do, but for the fact that I ran straight into Tash
    “Oh I was just on my way up to see you, you look like you’ve made a great recovery”
    “Yeah, I think it must have been something I ate”
    “I hate those 24 hour bug things, they’re rotten”
     
    I spent the next hours trying to remember what I’d said so that I could keep my lie up to my friend, even though I knew she probably could see right through me.  George’s words were running through my head, what would he know about girls, “jealous” indeed, the thought was niggling in the back of my mind when I noticed Tash was still  talking …..
     
    “....... So if you’re feeling well enough to go jogging do you think you are well enough to come out tonight?”
    “Sure, sounds great”
     
    The day went by slowly filled with writing and meetings, I walked back into my apartment in time to freshen up and get dressed in my “girls night out” clothes, I was looking forward to being with my friends once more.
     
    We chose a new place to head to. It was great seeing Lex and Tash, I really do love that about girlfriends nothing ever really breaks the tie between friendship not even men.  We walked into the Cedar Bar. It was quite bizarre, a black ominous door that when opened led to a staircase that went down to the most amazing dance floor and bar. It was a little hideaway that was pretty amazing, chandeliers, cedar topped bar that ran along one wall of the club and great music, leather lounges,  our spirits were lifted instantly.
     
    The girls and I had a dance and chatted like old times, and then
