I manage to get home at 8:15 p.m., which is a record time for me. I must admit, being so early doesn’t make me happy at all. I know that Jamie is at home already and this makes me a little nervous. I have a feeling that Elly hopes to get me to like Jamie and vice versa. I hope that she doesn’t try any clever tricks at dinner – I don’t want her to have anything to do with Jamie. I have never told her about kissing Jamie the night I was drunk, and that’s the first ‘important’ thing I have avoided mentioning to her. If I told her, she would begin to analyse the story and that’s the last thing I want. I have managed to put it out of my mind and I don’t want anybody to force me to think about it now.

“I’m back!” I shout as soon as I open the front door. The living room lights are on, but Jamie isn’t there. I walk into the kitchen, to see if he’s working at the counter – he’s not there. I get back to the living room and I see him on the stairs – he’s still wearing casual clothes and it looks like he hasn’t bothered to get ready for tonight.

“Hi,” I greet him, a little surprised. “You remember that we’re going out tonight, right?” I wouldn’t be so polite to him if I didn’t care about Elly.

He smiles at me – it’s one of those smiles that would make any girl fall for him. He looks happy.

“Of course I remember, but it’s a little early and I don’t take longer than twenty minutes to get ready.”

That’s fair enough – I definitely take a lot longer than that. While looking at him, I feel an uncontrollable urge to touch him, so I’d better walk away now. This man confuses me and overwhelms me without even realising – I have to be careful with him.

“I think I might need an hour or so – I don’t even know what I’m going to wear.”

“What about the black dress you wore the first time you went out with Alex?” he smiles.

I didn’t think that he had noticed my dress, I thought that he was completely absorbed in his recipe book. I don’t know what to think – I feel a little gratified that he noticed me, and this surprises me. I should keep in mind that I hate Jamie and that I’m tolerating his presence every day, with all of the issues and mood swings that it causes.

“It’s cold,” I mutter, then head to my room. It’s time to run away from him.

After locking myself in my room, I sit down on my bed. The stress caused by my phone conversation with Mr Purfoy has caught up with me, because I still can’t think of a solution to the problem. With Jamie at home, I can’t relax fully and the last thing that I want to do tonight is go out with him.
