Zander

Bea’s food was as delicious as Zander remembered, offering new twists on traditional buffet classics as well as throwing in a few unexpected bitesize delicacies.

Once they were all back at the table and tucking into their plates of food, Alf showed a sudden interest, leaving his cosy spot by the fire and heading over to the friends, his nose sniffing the air.

‘These korma parcels won’t do your insides any good, young man. And don’t forget, I know you’ve already had your tea, so I think you can get back to your buddies who are far better trained than you are. Go on, scoot!’ Zander pointed to where Nomad and Scruff were keeping a close eye on proceedings by the fire. ‘Go on, go!’ He pointed and Alf, reluctantly, followed the direction of his dad’s finger, turning occasionally to make sure he hadn’t changed his mind and was happy to share his meal with him.

Zander gave him a stern look and Alf continued on his way, before flumping on the floor and resting his head on Nomad’s back.

‘Oh, that face,’ said Jimby.

‘I know, it kills me to talk to him in that tone, but where food’s concerned, I’m afraid it’s necessary or he’d be up here helping himself.’

‘I used to have a Labrador like that; Humphrey was the hungriest dog ever,’ said Kitty.

‘Make that greediest, Kitts,’ Ollie said with a laugh.

‘Hmm, I suppose you have a point, but he was gorgeous and had so much personality.’ Kitty smiled fondly.

‘He did, and the windiest backside from here to next week,’ said Molly, making everyone laugh.

‘Ahh, Alf is so special, I could take him home with me,’ said Livvie.

Zander glanced across at her and something deep inside him stirred, fanning the flames that were burning ever brighter in the pit of his stomach; she was glowing, her eyes were sparkling and her full, plump lips were just calling out for him to kiss her. This was more than just some basic attraction, it was something far deeper, far more primal and the more he spent time with her, the stronger it was becoming. It was killing him not to do anything about it, and there had been a couple of near misses, but his conscience kept telling him he was still in a relationship with Mel – albeit dysfunctional and without depth on either side.

There was one thing Zander was sure of; he’d never felt this way with Clara and he certainly didn’t feel this way with Mel.
