“She must be with a patient,” Chelsea surmised. “Just as well for you.”
I flopped down beside her, teasing back my sweaty curls. “I really am sorry.”
Her blue eyes pierced mine. “You’d better start talking. Who is he? What happened?”
“He’s just a guy,” I lied. “It was just a date.”
She leant forward to sniff me. “Like fuck it was. This place stinks of sex, and so do you.”
“It was just a date...” I repeated. “A date with sex.”
Her face was a picture of horror. “You fucked a chatline weirdo?! What the fuck is wrong with you?! Urgh, I bet he was a right munter.”
I couldn’t help but smile. “I really don’t think he was.”
“You don’tthinkhe was?!”
“I didn’t see that much of him...” I mumbled.
“So, you fucked the guy but you didn’t see that much of him?”
I shrugged and tried to bluster my way out of it, but she didn’t let it go until I relented. “I was blindfolded, ok? It was about the sex. A crazy kink. I shouldn’t have worried you, but he wasn’t a psycho killer, he was just a really hot guy.”
“You’re out of your mind!” she hissed. “Seriously bloody cuckoo!”
I couldn’t really argue with her, which made a change.
“What’s done is done,” I sighed. “I’m really sorry. I won’t worry you again.”
“But youwillsee the weirdo again?”
I couldn’t stop the grin that spread across my face. “Probably.”
“Probably?!”
“Definitely,” I laughed. “I’ll definitely see him again. If he calls, that is.”
“Jesus Christ,” she scowled. “You’ve got serious issues, Gemma Taylor.”
I couldn’t really argue with her about that, either.
I checked the time. “I really do appreciate the rescue and all, but I’ve got pole at six.”
She stood to leave, jabbing an angry finger at me. “This isn’t the end of this. Not by a long stretch.”
I didn’t doubt it.
I thought I’d escaped lightly until she folded her arms by the front door. I died at the pout on her lips, the inevitable precursor to some unpleasant demand.
I should have seen this one coming.
“Now I risked my life to save yours, youwillbe coming with me to Kings on Saturday night, won’t you?”
Shit.
How could I possibly say no?
