you still look good, perhaps we should go and have a pamper afternoon on Thursday. You know get some things waxed and buffed ready for the weekend” she said.
“That’s a great idea. I’m supposed to be meeting him at a hotel somewhere between our two houses on Friday afternoon. You know neutral territory so we can talk without Charlie, Mitchell and his other son Darren being around” I said.
“How romantic” Sarah sighed.
“You mean how scary” I replied “What if when I get naked he doesn’t fancy me anymore. Shit I need new underwear too”
Sarah laughed at me.
“So how easy will it be for you to either get the day off on Thursday or change a shift. I can see we need a shopping trip” she grinned.
“You’re on” I replied “I’ll speak to Paul and see if I can do the breakfast show instead”
“Great, I can head up on the bus and meet you for coffee before we hit the town. I’ll get us booked into the health spa” Sarah finished, her enthusiasm infectious.
“Ann Summer’s here we come” I laughed. A sudden flashback crossed my mind as I remembered a day spent shopping, a long time ago.
“Chris won’t mind me taking up a day of your precious time” I said.
“He won’t have too, a friend in crisis needs a friend” she said “Anyway, if I tell him where we are going he won’t complain too much” she finished, arching her eyebrows.
I refilled the glasses and spotted my phone had a message on it so I checked.
“Hi Steph, have you seen your emails yet, I’ve sent you a link for a hotel and wanted to check it was ok before I booked x”
“I’ll do it in a bit, Sarah’s here” I replied.
“So that’s why my ears are burning, give me a call later when you can”
“Ok x” I finished, turning back to Sarah.
“He’s sent me an email with the hotel link on it, shall we have a look” I said, as I located my tablet pc and fired it up.
I was stunned to see the fabulous location of this grand hotel, the photographs of the rooms looked fabulous and it also had a gym, spa suite and swimming pool. It was beautiful and I felt my heart soften again, melting me back to the pure romance of love.
“He loves you alright, no doubt, you have nothing to worry about” she whispered, in awe of the images that scrolled across the screen. I couldn’t speak; it would be like our first night together all over again. The images of that other hotel room crowded in alongside the ones on the screen, filling my mind with memories and my heart with hope and desire. Eventually Sarah stood up and turned to hug me.
“I’d better get going otherwise Chris will send the search parties out for me” she said, pulling me into her arms.
“Sure, give him a kiss for me” I replied as she headed home.
The house was silent apart from the music from the stereo in the lounge. Changing it from the radio to George Michael I refilled my glass with the remains of the wine and curled up in the armchair, phone in hand. Tapping in the number I waited for James to answer, I couldn’t wait to hear his voice again. It was Mitchell who answered, and after a quick chat to make sure Charlie was ok he passed the phone to his Dad.
“Hi Steph, how are you” he said, just the sound of his voice made my body start to tingle with desire.
“Hi James, fine thanks and yes the hotel looks fantastic” I replied, holding the phone just a tiny bit tighter.
“Great I’ll get it booked for Friday and Saturday night then” James said “What time are you able to get away”
“I’ve booked the day off so anytime” I replied.
“Great, so have I so shall we say noon and we can have lunch together”
“Lovely” I breathed, as I wondered if he could detect the tremor in my voice. Partly from desire and partly fuelled by fear of how quickly things were moving.
“Well, my place is far from quiet” James said “Although they have spent most of the day in the studio dancing, or at least I’m
