Sunday June 21st

Today I feel: Murderous.

Today I am thankful for: Waterproof mascara.

‘All right.’ Will rushed me as soon as I opened the door, pushing me up against the wall and kissing me so hard I could taste blood when he pulled away. ‘You look good.’

Usually I would be very welcoming of this kind of hello. It had been so long since I’d received this kind of welcome that I had been openly encouraging it by way of suggestive text message and one or two potentially regrettable-should-I-ever-choose-to-run-for-office photographs, but my evening with my friends and my Strictly Come Swooning dance-off with Tom had got me thinking. Never a good thing.

The last month had been fun but I was ready for more than a sexytimes fling and I wanted that ‘more’ with Will. It was time to move our relationship out of the bedroom and into the outside world. And then back into the bedroom again with occasional, but optional, adventures outside.

‘Thanks,’ I squeaked as his hand travelled up my thigh and under my skirt. Probably should have put jeans on. My plan would definitely have been easier to execute in jeans. ‘How was work?’

‘Boring,’ he replied, rubbing his face in my hair. Jeans on and hair up. ‘You don’t want to know.’

‘You always say that,’ I said, contorting my body so that I was face to face with him. Those eyes … ‘I do want to hear about it.’

‘What’s wrong?’ Will asked, adjusting his crotch area. ‘Are you pissed off at me or something?’

‘Nothing’s wrong,’ I said, leading him into the living room. ‘I just want to talk. It’s like we never talk.’

‘You’re too distracting,’ he said with a sexy smile. ‘It’s your fault.’

‘That’s only a little bit threatening,’ I said, ducking under his arm and opening the fridge. ‘Do you want to go and get something to eat? I haven’t got anything in.’

Will cocked his head to one side, loosened his tie. ‘Maddie, what’s going on?’

Underneath my bright kitchen lights, I could see how knackered he really was. His stubble was three days deep and he looked exhausted. When I looked tired and had three days of stubble, I looked like Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie, only less convincing. He looked like a God. Thor, to be exact, without the blond hair. I wondered if I could get him to take off his shirt and swing a hammer around … no. NO.

We were leaving this flat if it killed me.

‘I thought we could nip out to the pub round the corner.’ I picked up my handbag and slung it onto my shoulder with purpose. Immediately knocking a candle off the hall table and onto my foot.
