I could see his nose twitch in the rearview mirror and eventually, his eyes shot up to take my oh so innocent appearance in with some considerable acc...sation "Have you farted?"I tried to look surprised, but it didn't work. I could feel another brewing at that very moment. I shrugged and batted my eyelids "Yeah, sorry. Christmas eh? Too much rich food"But this grumpy git wasn't the type to fall for my girlie charms and he groaned with horror before pulling the car up kerbside. "What?" I asked. Perhaps the oddest, scariest and in some twisted respect the most exciting nights were when we weren’t getting along. The first time it arose we had had quite a serious argument earlier in the day over family stuff. He didn’t want to visit my mother and, truth be told, neither did I. But as these things so often have a way of doing, the argument escalated into his dislike for my sisters and their husbands, the fact I sometimes gave them money, the comparison with his family and some quite. He grinned, "I totally conked out. Anyway, how are you?"I shrugged, "I'm fine. Just stir crazy and ready to get out of thisplace."Claire spoke up, "I'll take you in my car."Jools interrupted, "But Claire, you look exhausted. Don't you have yourbig presentation tomorrow you? Maybe you should head directly home; itwould be a lot quicker than having to go into London." What presentation?" I asked.Claire waved a hand, "Oh, it's nothing much." she said obviously lying.I nodded, "Yeah right. No. Go the fuck away! Jay booms out. Jay tries to pull away but I grab onto his butt, keeping him in place. Dont leave me Jay, I whisper into Jays ear. Jay shakes his head then pulls out all the way. He picks me up and drops me on to the bed and throws the blanket onto me. He stalks to the door, he jerks it open and booms out What?!? Fuck man, sorry to interrupt, wanted to say mom and dad wont be back till late and that Mike aint here and that me and Michelle are going out to dinner. Houses all.
