Chapter Seven

She’d slept wrapped in his arms in the guest bed she’d claimed as hers for a little while, and had the best night’s sleep until she woke around three o’clock with a sense of dread.

Dennis had noted her fear and quickly spooned her, whispering calming words. Perhaps in his sleep, but she appreciated the sentiment and snuggled into him.

Al may be possessive and greedy, but he wasn’t a total loony tune. He wouldn’t actually hurt her. And then she realized how wrong she was. Al would hurt her. He already had, on several occasions. Sure, it was usually with the intent to control, but he’d proven his aggressive nature.

She talked about her concerns over morning coffee, and Dennis was not pleased.

“Maybe I should call in sick today, stay here in case he shows up,” Dennis offered, clearing away the breakfast dishes.

“Damn, I wish I hadn’t said anything now. I’ll be fine, Dennis. Jane’s not working today. We’ll do a girl’s day. We’ll stay in and catch up, okay?” she pleaded, hoping he wouldn’t miss his scheduled classes for her.

“I’m only going at your insistence,” Dennis hissed. “You keep a phone with you at all times if you do go out, and stick together.”

“Got it.” She kissed his cheek and joked, “Have a good day, dear.”

He snorted and grabbed his briefcase. “You be sure to have my drink poured when I get home, and the house clean and tidy.”

She winked. “Absolutely.”

As soon as he left, Jane bounced out of her bedroom and squealed. “Manicures and cakes. Celebrity gossip, followed by, of course, dance. Are you in?”

“Heck yes, I’m in.”

Hours passed by quickly, and they got caught up with the latest goings on of their old school friends. They’d beautified themselves, whilst still wearing their comfy sleepwear, and watched Grease then Grease 2.

The musicals led to impromptu singing and dancing, which then led to a burlesque lesson somehow.

Louisa wasn’t sure how or even if she’d agreed, she only knew there was no escaping Jane once she had an idea in her head.

“Bound to happen,” Louisa placed her empty mug on Jane’s kitchen counter and rolled up her sleeves.

“What was?” Jane shrugged and lifted a brow.

“Wearing PJs while learning the art of striptease, it’s so…so…Jane.”

“Call it a re-bonding of our friendship through dance.”

“Uh-huh. You say it’s for fun, but I’m not stupid, I know you’re prepping me so I’ll be a London Doll. I know you.”

“As if I’d do that?” She fluttered her eyelashes. “Now, move your hips side to side.” Jane demonstrated the sensual movement again with her toes pointed, and her stare low and seductive. “This is all about me being a good friend. Someone has to get you out of your ‘I have a crazy ex’ funk.”

She was so right, and she could burlesque. “How is striptease more complicated than any classical dance I know?”

“Do I have to do a ‘feel the music’ spiel on you? You can do it. Work it. Pretend you’re slamming a car door shut then bounce back quick.
