The Final Note (DJ Series Book 1) Read Online Free

I’m guessing in the gym you lift weights more than anything else and it takes more than muscles to run 5k.”
    “Okay. I suppose only time will tell.” He winks and I almost swoon. Yes, me, Alannah Matthews, celibacy sister, swooning. “I’ll take these in a size 10 then, please.”
    I head off to the storeroom and just before I push open the door I look back and see him checking out my ass. I can’t help but laugh when he looks a little embarrassed to have been caught. I get him the Nikes.
    “Is that all I will need?”
    “Yeah, pretty much. You might want to invest in a ribble, too.” I point to the hip belt that holds your drinks bottle. They’re above the tills and Dayton nods.
    “I’ll take one of those, too, please.”
    I ring up his Nikes on the till, usually, I would let Gemma deal with this but I want to serve Dayton myself. I climb the stepladders with as much grace as I possess and damn my legs for feeling like jelly around him. Reaching up I feel my top ride up and expose my midriff. I quickly scan his ribble and bag up his purchases as he pays with his card. I put the receipt in the bag and hand it over with a smile.
    “Have a good workout, sir,” I tease and his fingers slide over mine as he takes the bag, provoking more tingles and butterfly dancing.
    “I’m sure it will be the best ever,” he replies quietly before winking and making for the exit. I watch his gorgeous behind as he leaves and someone clearing their throat breaks into my trance.
    “Erm, hello!” Gemma drags my attention.
    “Sorry, Gem.”
    “Oh, don’t apologise. That was probably the most heated purchase I have ever witnessed. I don’t think he even noticed I was here. Who was it? Because he definitely has the hots for you.”
    “His name’s Dayton, he’s a DJ at Lexis. Have you ever been?”
    Gemma shrugs. “Probably, but I haven’t been clubbing in ages. How do you know him?”
    “I met him at a house party at the weekend, we’re meeting up tomorrow.”
    “Oh, you jammy bitch. You never date but when you do you land yourself a hot guy like that. I’m pea green. Has Mr-Service-With-A-Smile got any fit friends?” Gemma smirks before going back to putting alarms on stock.
    “I don’t know. I hardly know him.”
    “Well, enjoy your date and if you meet any of his friends worth my time just let me know.” Gem laughs and I assure her I will.
    The rest of the day passes in a blur and after work I collect my bag from the cloakroom before wishing Gemma and Josh a good night. When I check my phone I see I have one missed call from Corrine and a text message from Dayton.
    It was great seeing you today. I’m looking forward to tomorrow. x
    I hit reply with a grin to myself.
    Thanks for dropping by, it was nice seeing you, too. Conserve some energy for tomorrow, you’ll need it ;) I’m looking forward to it as well. x
    I dial Corrine back and she tells me they’re having a girly night if I fancy dropping by so I tell her I’ll see her soon and let my mum know I won’t be home for dinner.
    Corrine lives close to Manchester University so traffic is heavy and just as I pull up I see Macy and Dina on the doorstep.
    “Hey, babe,” Dina greets.
    “Hi, ladies.” I smile, locking up Phil and sending up a silent prayer the old boy does okay tomorrow at the test centre. I’m not ready to part company with him yet.
    “Did you bring a bottle?” Macy asks and I shake my head.
    “Nope, I’m paying for the take away though. I can’t drink anyway, driving.” I point at the car and the girls nod.
    We let ourselves into Corrine’s small but incredibly bright flat. She has a slightly unhealthy obsession with anything tie dyed or rainbow coloured. I park myself on an overstuffed chair and pull the rainbow cushion onto my knee before kicking my Nikes off and curling my feet underneath me.
    “Okay, ladies. What are we watching? I’ve cut it down to three choices. Twilight-fest, Vampire-Diaries-binge or
