I woke up the next morning to the smell of coffee. Justine had made breakfast, or what could pass as breakfast with what was in my cupboard. I sat up in bed and smiled at her as she brought me a steaming mug of caffeine. Just what I needed.

“So, what time do you have to be at work?” she asked as I inhaled the aromas coming from my mug.

“Nine o’clock,” I replied as I took a big gulp of coffee and got out of bed.

“Is there anything around here to keep me occupied?”

“Well, there’s the shopping centre. But other than that, not really.”

I hadn’t thought about her free time while I was at work. There wasn’t really much she could do. But thanks to Clark, there was a catalogue of DVDs to watch.

“Okay, well, I’ll just stay here and try to find something to keep me busy,” she replied as she gestured for me to sit at the small dining room table and eat my breakfast.

“Thanks for this.”

“It’s nothing. You put me up for the night so it’s the least I can do.”

I ate my scrambled egg on toast and drank another mug of coffee before getting dressed for work. I heard Justine singing along to Maroon 5, her favourite band, as she washed up the plates.

“You really don’t have to do that,” I said as I opened the door into the tiny kitchen.

“Well I’ve done it now so tough.” She bobbed her tongue out at me as she put the last fork on the draining board.

“Thank you.” I pulled her into a one armed hug so I didn’t get my work clothes wet.

“You look nice,” she said, looking me over.

“Thanks.”

“If I didn’t know better, I’d say you were dressing to impress.” She chuckled as she dried her hands and walked with me into the lounge.

I looked at my dress and smoothed non-existent wrinkles. I guess Little Miss Intuitive was on the ball this morning. Since the night I had spent with Chase, I had taken a little extra care getting ready in the morning and made sure to look as good as possible. Maybe I shouldn’t, after all I didn’t want to encourage him further, but it felt good to be looked at the way he looked at me. I could see his beautiful green eyes twinkling at me, flashing the small flecks of gold.

“Well, I’m glad you know better.” I laughed as I retrieved my bag and slipped my kitten heels on.

“Have a good day.”

“I’ll try. Oh and while I remember, here…” I handed her a spare key in case she decided to go out and investigate.

“Great, thanks. I’ll probably get cabin fever and at least want to go for a walk.”

“I’ll be home around five thirty. See you then.”

I placed a kiss on her cheek and slipped out of the front door.

Getting into my car, I smiled to myself. It felt so good to have my best friend here. We’d known each other since high school and had never spent as long apart as we had since I moved.
