Chapter Twenty-Three

‘Do you think it’s inappropriate to have erotic daydreams about your boss when he’s talking to you?’

‘No. I think it’s inappropriate to have them and do nothing about it.’

‘I can hardly jump him in the middle of the shop, Bec.’

‘Of course not, there’s a back room isn’t there?

Samantha laughed. ‘And what do we do about the customers?’

‘Put a back-in-five-minutes sign on the door.’

‘Gee, thanks, but I was kinda hoping it might last longer than five minutes.’

Bec laughed this time. ‘Never underestimate the complete and total sexual high you can get from a quickie. I think they’re underrated.’

‘Forget it Bec. I’m not going there when I know the relationship is going to go nowhere. Anyway, it’s just my eggs talking. They’re being pushy. I don’t really want Nick.’

‘Careful Sam, I can hear your nose growing.’

‘Okay, I do but…it’s not as easy as all that. We’re friends. I like our friendship. If we cross that line for good then it’ll never be the same again. We’ve already kissed and I’m pretty sure I may have propositioned him under the influence of vodka recently and there’s this increasingly weird vibe between us. And Ray should be stuffing up right about now so it won’t be long until I’m gone, and he’s going to Kathmandu and will be gone soon too.’

‘Okay, but couldn’t you both just have a bit of fun together in the meantime?’

‘But what if I miss the guy who wants to have babies with me because I’m too busy having fun with Nick?’

‘Then maybe it wasn’t meant to be.’

‘Oh god, Bec. You sound like Nick now. I’m getting a little sick of the whole it’ll-happen-when-it’s-meant-to-happen philosophy.’

‘Maybe he has a point?’

‘Or maybe he’s a guy who’s worked out the perfect way to avoid any kind of commitment or necessity to work at a relationship. I think he’s just lazy and will probably end up old and alone.’

‘Alone doesn’t have to be bad, Sam. I have four kids, five if you count their father who can be extraordinarily childlike from time to time, and alone sounds divine.’

‘Well I don’t want to do alone, Bec. I want a baby.’

‘Hey, you’ll always have us. Which reminds me, I popped a pressie in the mail for you from Jess. She made you something in art class.’

‘Ohh, how sweet.’

‘Well don’t get too excited, she is only five remember.’

‘I’ll love it whatever it is.’

‘Okay. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.’

Samantha hurried to work. She was running late. She’d slept through her alarm because she’d been in the middle of a particularly horny dream about Nick. Did women have wet dreams? Because if they did she’d just had her first!

She put her hand on the doorknob and took a deep breath as re-runs of her dream played in her head. Stop it, Samantha! She had to work with him today. She would be totally useless if she let her dream replace reality.

He was her friend, not a pirate. She was a plain Jane nobody, not a beautiful wealthy princess.
