Chapter 7

“What the hell…?” Elissa stared at her.

Dee’s grin was slow and decidedly mischievous. “Just saying what everyone else is.”

“I’m not his girlfriend!”

Dee held her hands up, palms out. “Settle down, sister, before you stroke out.”

“I don’t get it!” Elissa dropped the bags onto the counter.

Without a hint of shame, Dee peeked into the bags. “I’m guessing these are for tonight?”

“What? Yes.”

“Glad to see you got the cheese and onion flavoured chips. Love ‘em.”

“Forget the damned cheese and onion.”

“Oohh, someone’s a little testy. Did you want the salt and vinegar instead?”

“Forget the damned chips!”

“You also got chicken flavoured and original. Just thought I’d point that out.”

Elissa braced her hands on the counter. “What’s going on?”

“Is something going on?” Dee continued checking the contents of the bags. “Yum, popcorn. Been ages since I had popcorn.”

Elissa smacked Dee’s hand away from the bag. ‘Forget the damned popcorn.”

“Did you just smack my hand?”

“What is going on?”

“I’ve killed people for less, you know.”

“I’ll kill you if you don’t start answering questions.”

“My, really testy.”

Elissa glared at her.

Dee grinned and leaned her elbow on the stack of magazines and comics. “Okay, ask away.”

“What is going on?”

“You mean about you being Simon’s new girlfriend?”

“I’m not his girlfriend!”

“Huh. Then why are you asking me?”

“Dee!”

Dee shoved back a thick hank of blonde hair that had fallen over her shoulder. “All right, don’t get your knickers in a knot.” She looked around before leaning forward confidingly.

Automatically, Elissa leaned forward as well.

“Word on the street,” Dee murmured.

“What word?”

“Girlfriend.”

“Oh for-”

“Word on the street is that you and Simon are shagging the sheets off the bed.”

“What?” Horrified, Elissa stared at her.

“Yep.” Straightening, Dee resumed checking through the magazines and comics, separating them into different stacks.

“The word is that we’re having sex?”

“Yep.”

Elissa gaped at her. “Yes?”

Dee nodded.

“She’s a lying cow.” Del appeared beside her.

“You go back to your shop,” Dee said instantly. “This is a private conversation.”

“Sure. If it wasn’t already going the rounds.”

“Going the rounds?” Mortified, Elissa stared at her. “You mean-”

“Not as bad as you think,” Del assured her. “The word,” she cast her cousin a jaundiced eye, “is that you are Simon’s new girlfriend.”

“But the sex-”

“Dee made that up.”

Elissa swung her incredulous stare to Dee. “You what?”

Dee shrugged nonchalantly.

“Why?”

“Hey, I thought it could do with some juiciness.”

“Oh, thank God.” Elissa sagged against the counter.

Dee rolled her eyes.

Del helped herself to a lollypop from the container at the edge of the counter.

A sudden thought struck Elissa. “Hang on. Dee, you’re not spreading the sex around, are you?”

“Ryder would kill me if I spread sex around. He has this idea my womanly secrets are his only.”

Del stopped pulling the paper off the lollypop to gawk at her. “Your womanly secrets?”

“We’re not all crass like you,” Dee informed her primly.

“Cripes. Seriously? Womanly secrets?”

“I don’t like to call it a ‘twat’.”

“You call everyone’s a ‘twat’.”

“That’s everyone else’s. I don’t care about everyone else’s twat. Mine is womanly secrets.”

“What do you call his?’

“Ryder doesn’t have a twat.”

“I mean his manly secrets?”

“Manly secrets?” Dee laughed in her face.
