The look in her eyes and the fierce blush in her cheeks told me what I needed to know. She kissed me because she wanted me. I have no idea why but my heart sung at that thought as I ran of to find Alice and tell her we were having a poker night.

———————Alice——————

For the second time that day I was sat minding my own business trying to enjoy a fag and a coffee when a sudden banging on the door made me jump and spill it all down the front of me.

Before I had finished cursing and had a chance to answer the pounding the door flew open.

“You have got to be kidding me Kennard twice in one day can’t you ring my cell or knock more gently or something. If I keep leaving this box in a different outfit than the one I entered in every time you come in people will begin to talk if you get my point.”

I chuckled as I saw the determined look temporarily wiped of her face as she chuckled at my greeting.

“Like you’d be complaining Al. you would be a legend if people thought you got me to come back for seconds.”

“True as that may be I do not want my reputation sullied before me and the new woman in my life have even had a chance to get going.”

“I am offended Al that you would even suggest I would be capable of ruining your reputation merely by spending time with you. You act like the only time I ever speak to women is when I want to get them into bed.”

“Well so long as you understand where I am coming from we are all good.”

With that she allowed herself a proper laugh before sitting down at the opposite side of the table from me. And her face took on that determined look once more. It was amazing we had only really been friends as of this morning but I just new she was about to get me involved in something that would no doubt end up causing more trouble than it was worth. So naturally I knew I would be in, whatever she was about to ask.
