spluttering, people had wandered over
to see what was happening. I couldn’t believe I had lost control like that
    “you evil witch why the hell have you done that” wine was running down her cheeks “Adam look
what the weirdo did to me” Adam was out of his comfort zone with this situation, he flapped around
with kitchen towels trying to mop her up, I stormed out of the room before I slapped her. The words
she whispered still stinging me. I slammed my bedroom door locking it behind me went to the
bathroom and tore the dress straight off washed my face in cold water then crawled into bed
ignoring the banging on my bedroom door
“Lucinda she was really upset we need to get in there to her she wasn’t in her right mind” Adam was
shouting loudly, an ear bashing from him was not what I needed
    “I know my friend Adam, she just needs peace so leave her alone go take your girlfriend home she
needs you more, I will sort my friend out Adam just go!” The noises faded so I settled into my covers
sliding my hand under my pillow to feel the tiny piece of wool that I had hidden there, that was how
I went to sleep.

Chapter 4
    The day after the party was spent cleaning up, Lucy bless her did not say a word about my wine
throwing moment of madness, in return I didn’t mention that I saw Rob sneak out of the flat early
this morning when I went for a run. Lucky girl at least one of us pulled.
    I felt ashamed of myself perhaps I should apologise, the girl was a bitch but she had no idea how
much that comment would hurt me so I can’t really hold it against her. Well there was a silver lining
of course at least he wouldn’t bring her out with us any time soon, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if
he stayed away as well.
We had been clearing up for over three hours now yet still the place looked a tip
    “ Where are the cleaning fairies when you need them, this is taking hours we have our first day at
work tomorrow you would think some of the ungrateful bastards would have offered to come back
today to help” Lucy smiled sheepishly
    “Rob did but I thought you may want an empty house today” Lucy blushing again? I wanted to quiz
her, get excited with her, ask for all the details but the selfish side of me wasn’t ready to bask in her
happiness just yet maybe later after a glass of wine. We were just about to try lifting the sofa’s when
there was a knock at the door. I went to get it as I was closest, unfortunately it was the wrong
decision Adam was standing there.
“Hi” I squeaked aware of my scruffy attire, he was aware too as I caught him giving me a sly once
over. I decided to break the ice.
     
“Come in, perfect timing we are moving the sofa’s back” he followed silently behind me I knew I
should say something else so bravely I turned round to face him
    “Look I am sorry about my behaviour last night she..Natalie touched a nerve, she was right though I
looked ridiculous letting Lucy pick my outfit was never going to be my best idea, sorry if I spoilt her
night, if she has to replace the top let me know I will pay” Adam shut me down
    “Leah you don’t have to apologise ignorance is no excuse for the language she used to describe you,
please don’t worry about her clothes she has too many anyway. You looked beautiful last night pay
no attention to jealous females, looking the way you did will always make other females get their
claws out” That was a compliment I think? Blimey second one in a month I didn’t know quite how to
respond so I led him to Lucy and the sofa job.
    “Bro just in time cool, Leah stick the kettle on hon” I did the honours while they carried on shifting
furniture then we all sat down for a well-earned tea break. Two hours later the flat was sparkling
clean again, Adam had pulled his weight so we got it done in half the time, we put music on to help
the time pass more pleasantly.
    “Right you two I am treating us to a Chinese if you fancy it?” I was starving so nodded
