home?
Yep will do.
Home is anywhere I am racing, or here at the apartment. It’s only a figure of speech when I say home and am talking about my Mother’s house.
She lives out in The Hamptons.
See ya.
We were obviously very much the same then.
I hadn’t seen Bella much in the last few days and had yet to talk to her about going out on Saturday. Quickly I sent her a text asking if we could meet for an early lunch and take advantage of the situation. We arranged to meet in a little cafe just along from her place of work.
I dressed in a good pair of jeans, my brown, knee length boots and a cream, eyelash jumper. I dried my long hair and put it up in a messy twist. I never wore much make-up and just applied my usual mascara and lip gloss.
We had been like ships passing in the night for the last week and I was dying to see my best friend. Her work just seemed to be getting in the way.
‘Hey, gorgeous girl,’ came a shout from the back of the cafe, ‘over here.’
Waving back I started to make my way through the very busy snack bar. One hug later and I sat down beside her on the bench, instead of the empty chair opposite her.
‘Nosy, much?’
‘You know me; always want to face the world for a bit of people watching.’
The hustle and bustle of people, shouting and laughing and waiters spinning around in the space of a fifty pence piece was exhausting, but uplifting to watch. It made me feel alive.
‘Sorry I have been so busy with work, Frankie. It wasn’t what I intended for your first few weeks here, really it wasn’t.’
‘No problem, Bella.’ I said as I grasped her hand in mine, ‘I’m sure it can’t be helped, Nathan has been really good company. Yesterday we spent the afternoon on a horse drawn carriage, and as you know he is never far away when there’s a home cooked meal going.’
‘Ermm... OK what you having?’
My phone pinged. Did she just change the subject?
Hi Frankie
How are you today?
How did the physio go this morning?
Did the x-rays look OK?
Sorry about the twenty questions.........

Hi Alex (skilful question master)
I am fine, thanks for asking. I am sitting having an early lunch with Bella.
You know a girl’s gossip and catch up and of course a major people watch. I haven’t seen Nathan yet today, he said he had to go home to your Mum’s house, to sort out a problem. So we will meet this afternoon instead. That means I still haven’t seen the x-rays yet.
I was just about to tell Bella that we almost bumped into each other today, outside of the building.
Maybe we will have to try that one day, actually meeting up?
Hope your journey was OK?

Bella showed me the menu again, ‘Come on girl, I haven’t got all day, what are you going to order?’
‘I fancy a proper burger with all the trimmings and chips. Oh yeah, and a big glass of root beer.’ I couldn’t get enough of the stuff, and drank it almost daily. Bella assured me the novelty would wear off soon.
‘So who are you texting?’
I turned to her and gave her a look that invited her to guess.
‘Oh, got it… Mr. Nice Hand,’ she shook her head at me smiling.
I was quite surprised to not get a reply from Alex. I sort of looked forward to our banter. I felt a flush hit my cheeks, and worry started to rise up.
Perhaps he thought I was flirting with him asking to meet? Well I suppose I sort of was, wasn’t I? I had to say he intrigued me and we always had a bit of fun texting. I needed to remember that I was the hired help.
‘Penny for them?’
I looked at Bella now passing over my burger that had been delivered to our table in double quick time. Pulling a grimace, ‘I have just flirted a bit by text with my employer and he hasn’t replied.’
‘What... Does he know what a delicious babe you are?... Don’t concern yourself, his loss,’ she shrugged her shoulders and proceeded to take a
