Soundtrack: “Growing on Me” by The Darkness

In the days following my party, things went back to normal between me and Fred, yet at the same time our relationship had irrevocably changed. Where once there was distance, now there was none. Don’t get me wrong — it wasn’t because we were shagging like rabbits or anything. I wouldn’t dream of depriving you pretty little perverts of all the details in that department. Something had shifted, though. A closeness had developed, a gap had been bridged between our souls, a link solidified.

Whenever I was home, Fred would call in, and we’d hang out. Or I’d call into her place. We’d go for coffee together, have lunch, shop. A comfortable companionship was being formed; however, the sexual tension was constantly there, forever lingering beneath the surface.

Today she had a special order of cupcakes to make for a children’s birthday party and had roped me into helping her. I was more than happy to do it, because I loved watching her when she was focused. Women were often at their most beautiful when they were unaware of being observed, and when Fred baked, she was too concentrated on the task to be conscious of the fact that I was staring at her like a loon. And yes, I might have surreptitiously pulled out my phone and snapped a picture. She was utterly beautiful, a flush to her cheeks as she worked, tendrils of hair falling from the bun she wore.

In fact, we’d bumped into him while out shopping the other day, and Fred had been fretting over whether or not he was up to his old tricks.

His presence concerned me, and I was seriously considering finding out where the fucker lived so I could warn him off for good. While they were together, he’d been controlling and unpredictable with Fred, and it had taken her a long time to cut him out of her life. In essence, she was scarred and mistrustful when it came to men.

Suddenly, I felt like I was seeing her clearly for the very first time. I could now understand why she acted the way she did with me. It also made me feel fiercely protective. I didn’t want her to have to go through anything like that again, and I’d go out of my way to make sure the prick didn’t ever get to her.

I was careful not to bring him up in conversation, because whenever I did, she got anxious. Her reaction to just the mention of him made
