blouse, white stilettos and red denim jacket,
finished with a simple string of pearls that had once been her
mother’s. Her makeup was light, her sparkling blue eyes highlighted
with azure eyeliner and dark mascara. Her lips shone a glossy red
to match the rest of her outfit.
    She caught Donna’s reflection behind her
in the mirror and whistled loudly.
    The slimmer girl wore a brown leather
minidress with a black stretch belt around the middle, black shoes
and black studded earrings. Her hair, freshly washed, had been
braided into a French plait, small curls left to frame her petite
face.
    “Watch out, Tony,” Lorraine said,
smiling.
    “You don’t look so bad yourself,” Donna
said as she grabbed her coat. “Shall we go?”

Chapter Three
     
     
    They were the first to arrive at the
flat, but they had planned to get there early to help Tony and
Scott.
    “Here’s my two lovely ladies,” Tony said
as they let themselves into the kitchen.
    He turned and took Donna into a warm
embrace, kissing her tenderly on the lips.
    Lorraine made a gagging sound as she
took off her jacket.
    Donna giggled as she pulled away from
Tony.
    Tony’s attention was immediately torn
away from his girlfriend when he caught sight of Lorraine without
her jacket on.
    “You’re going to turn a few heads
tonight,” he said. His attention soon swung back to Donna as she
began to unbutton her black trench coat. “What’s under here?” he
asked.
    Donna slipped the coat from her
shoulders and added it to the pile forming on the back of the door.
“We work in pairs.” She looped her arm over Lorraine’s shoulders.
They both smiled at Tony. “You like?”
    “Very nice,” Tony replied as he blew
Donna a kiss.
    “Where’s Scott?” Donna asked.
    Tony continued to empty the contents of
a bag of chips. “Marty said he’d do the late shift for Scott, if
he’d do the triple feature. He’s going to be a bit late, that’s
all.”
    “What time does that finish?” Lorraine
asked as she sat at the kitchen table. She should have known that
something would spoil their plans.
    “Nine o’clock,” Tony said. “He’s gonna
get back as soon as he can.”
    Lorraine busied herself, taking glasses
through to the back porch, moving the furniture and fixing up the
stereo system, only to find that she could not get Scott out of her
mind. She didn’t know why she felt the way she did about him, as
she hardly knew him, but then, attraction was a funny thing. She
knew she had no hope in hell of being anything other than ‘Donna’s
friend who he had to put up with’, but it couldn’t stop her hoping
that there could be something more between them. She also knew that
if anything did happen between them, she would only end up being
hurt. When she fell, she fell hard, and she had no intention of
falling for someone she could never have a future with. But still,
her body and mind kept telling her she wanted to know Scott better,
physically if nothing else. Maybe this once, given the situation,
she was ready for a one night stand, or holiday fling, as Donna
would have called it. People did it all the time, so why shouldn’t
she?
    “Lorraine, where are you?” Donna’s
cheerful voice yelled from the kitchen.
    “In here,” Lorrain replied as she went
to the stereo and turned it on. Loud music filled the room and fine
quality speakers vibrated sound through the floorboards. If it was
one thing that could really get Lorraine moving, it was music. She
loved to dance, at parties and discos, especially if everyone else
was feeling the same mood. For a little while nothing else existed
and she could let go of all her inhibitions.
    Lorraine heard unfamiliar voices and
went through to the kitchen. Sure enough, some of the first guests
had arrived. Four people stood just inside the door, talking to
Donna.
    Donna turned and smiled when she saw
Lorraine.
    “Lorraine, this is Michael.” She pointed
to the tall dark haired young man who smiled and nodded. “And
