Going by how hammered she must have been the night before I'm prettysure she slept it off for the rest of the day. I wrote a note in myown handwritin... saying that the company had called me off my holiday inorder to go to the Continent for a conference, replacing an illcolleague. That should hold her off for a while. Before I left I sawthat her aura was restored, so she's going to be okay." Alright," I said with a nod and started to turn away."Oh, and James," I looked back at her, "for the. I...Yea.” She was staring at my pocket, it wasn't hard to see where she was looking and was surprisingly more red than I was. Say something else dumbass. “...Cool. Let’s...uh...get home. I can’t wait to watch more Tv.” I made an awkward laugh and tried to keep a smile.“Oh yea!” Her mood instantly changed. I walked up to checkout with Ani, my hands in my pocket. Ani bolted up to the clerk and slammed down the pink hairbrush and a box of sour candy. “I hope you’re sharing.” I said eyeing the. I was pretty sure I'd collected all the jars at the shop, so who else would have one. Then it dawned on me."I know where the last one is. Karen, my girlfriend ... her uncle has it. I'll look after that tomorrow if that's okay." That will be fine, Carl. You've done a great job collecting up all the 'evidence.'" Yeah. The more I think about it, the more I can see what could go wrong. Nobody objected to the trade, though, so I guess no one twigged that the cleaner was the reason for their hot sex. Was I overreacting? Overthinking?The biggest thing that I couldn’t wrap my head around was how did none of this bother Amber? Why was she so cool with holding her brother’s hand at school? Especially in front of everyone we knew? I mean, she couldn’t possibly want it to get out that we were lovers, could she? Plus, I was worried that CC suspected something. She seemed a little off since yesterday.I kept envisioning walking into the crowded cafeteria, holding her hand, and the whole lunch crowd.
