“Did you notice how Frankie was acting last night?” Sam kept her features nutral.

“No why?” Cat had noticed but she didn’t want to talk about it not now when she was in the mood for other things.  Frankie had been in her head for some time after they had got home last night now she wanted to forget her.  She slid up the bed and kissed Sam.  Sam responded and Frankie was forgotten.

The intercom buzzer was almost lifting the receiver off its rest in its urgency to be answered, Sam woke with a start, “Who the hell is that desperate to get in here?” She jumped out of bed, “hello who is this and what’s the panic?”

“It’s David, I’m distraught, he’s straight.”

“Get your dressingown on Cat it’s the drama queen,” Sam buzzed him in and went back to the bedroom for her dressingown.

David arrived in the flat with a flounce he landed on the couch looking as if the world was about to end. ” He’s got a woman Cat!” he covered his eyes in a showing of utter grief.

“I did tell you it was a waste of time Ed is not gay, God David you should be on the stage not an architect you are so dramatic.” Cat laughed at his pout and look of distain.

Sam busied herself in the Kitchen, she liked David but at 11am on a Sunday morning on her weekend off after a difficult case he was the last person after Frankie she wanted to see he was so over the top.

Back in the lounge Sam set down the tray of Coffee and Croissants and sat on the armchair opposite.

“And he was so cute, anyway he gave me his number Cat, A doctor me being asked out by a doctor.”

“Your grief over Ed didn’t last too long then,” Sam grinned at him.

“Well Declan is fit and I couldn’t turn him down he is very sexy.” David became serious, “You know this is all an act don’t you girls, oh don’t get me wrong Ed is very cute but I do know I have no chance, it’s the chase that makes it fun with him.”

Cat rolled her eyes, “David you just can’t help yourself, how many men is it now and after each one is finished your back on to Ed, all to chase something you don’t want and know you will never have just for the fun of it?”
