“Keeps you in money Sadie, so don’t knock it,” Lexi liked Sadie’s direct approach to life but she could see through a lot of it to the woman who longed for true love and to settle down.

“I ain’t knocking it Lex but christ, you should see some of it, I could stand on me head and it still wouldn’t make any bleedin sense to me but as long as I can flog it to gulable t***s what do I care.”

“Sadie can I ask you somethnig personal?” Sadie looked up, “you’re gonna anyway so fire away.”

“Don’t you feel kind of lonely and frustrated that Lauren is with Jo and has no intention of leaving her?”

“F*** you’re as forward as me, yeah I do but I am in too deep to let her just go, and I know she feels the same about me.”

“When’s she back?” Tess joined in.

“Tomorrow evening seeing her Tuesday, Jo’s in the gallery so we’re going out, I love her you know and I want to have her all to myself but I can’t so I stay with it just to have anything from her is wonderful.”

“I’m goin’ to bed girls, I’m f***ed see you tomorrow, night.” Sadie sauntered back to her room.

“It’s sad for Sadie, I mean for once she absolutly is in love but with the wrong woman, well not the wrong woman eh but.”

“I know what you mean Tess, I guess sometimes, the crumbs are better than nothing at all.”

“Ok so spill, you and Sam?”

Lexi grinned, “now that would be telling, ” they switched on the TV and watched and episode of Friends and went to bed.

Sam and Lexi saw each other every spare moment they could manage.  Sam’s boss cottened on immediatly and knew Sam had changed again she was even more cheerful and happy than she had been when she had met Cat.  Declan was delighted Lexi had cracked the cop’s crack as her put it, Lexi was not impressed at this analigy  but let it go.  “Your still loved up with David?” Lexi was walking down the corridor with Declan, “Oh yes totally,” infact I brought the cupboard out of retierment just for him yesterday.  He came in to see me and came was the operative word, thought I was going to have to gag him but he’s not into kinky sex, Lexi rolled her eyes and peeled off to go to xray, “See you later.”
