‘Everything okay?’ I asked.
‘We…’ He paused and dragged his hand down his face. ‘What happened yesterday, it cannot happen again. That was Victoria, asking if I had checked on you and reminding me not to cross any lines.’
‘Do you think she suspects something?’
‘I have no idea, but it is too risky. I cannot make any more mistakes.’
My mouth dropped open.
‘So yesterday was amistake?’
‘No.’ He grabbed my hand. ‘I do not regret it. It was incredible. But I cannot sacrifice my dream again.’
‘I know,’ I added, remembering what he’d told me about what happened with his ex.
‘We should eat, while it is hot,’ Romeo said, pulling his hand away, and I knew that the conversation was over.
It was fine though. I knew from the start that it was a one-time thing.
And I was fine with that.
Honestly, I was.
We only hooked up to get it out of our systems, so mission accomplished.
Right?

‘So, how’s it going with Romeo? Have you stood on a balcony yet and called his name?’
‘Eh?’ I frowned.
‘Y’know,like Romeo, Romeo, where the hell are you Romeoor however Shakespeare wrote it inRomeo and Juliet.’ Stella laughed.
‘I’m sure he’s never heardthatbefore,’ I scoffed.
‘I know! Totally original! But anyway, have you resisted temptation?’
‘We fucked yesterday.’
‘Whaaaatttt?’ Stella screamed down the phone. ‘Where?How? Spill the tea, coffee, Aperol Spritz andeverything!’
‘Spill the Aperol Spritz!’ I cackled. ‘I like it!’
‘Stop stalling and dish the dirt. I told you all about when Max gave me the firstBeef Injectionas you called it, so make sure you don’t miss out a single detail. For starters, where did you do it?’
‘On a pottery table.’
‘Noooo!’ she screamed again.
‘It was kind of hot. I was attempting to mould a bowl on the pottery wheel thingy and he stood behind me and showed me how to do it. One minute he was pressed against me with his arms around my waist and the next thing I knew we were kissing then bonking on the table.’
‘Love it! It’s like an X-rated version of the scene fromGhost.’
‘It totally was. And we got clayeverywhere! Well, luckily, I didn’t get any up my vag, which was a relief! Then again, clay’s natural. Remember when we used to do those clay face masks when you stayed over at mine and we had a girly night. It always left our skin so soft, so maybe it would’ve been fine!’ I cackled.
