Chapter 9

Josh has been working with us for about 3 weeks now. It’s lunchtime and I’m sitting in the kitchen eating my tuna Mayo sandwich and Josh sits next to me. He has a cheese and pickle sandwich; this only makes me fancy him more. I love cheese and pickles. “Afternoon Mel, good day so far?” I seem to always become tongue tied around him; this is the case whenever I fancy someone. “Josh, heyyyyyy! It’s been great, thanks, how about yours?”

“It’s been very productive.”

“That’s great, I’m so happy for you. Good choice in sandwich filling by the way, I love cheese.”

“I love cheese too,” Josh replies. With that, I yelp goodbye and scurry to my office. If I don’t pull myself together there is no chance of me and Josh having sex once let alone starting a glorious affair.

Whilst daydreaming in my office, I ponder a game plan on how to get Josh into bed. I don’t dress badly for work but I could look a whole lot better so I decided I needed to go shopping. I need to get new clothes and maybe if I’m feeling fancy enough a new perfume. If I look sexy enough and smell sexy enough, I’m sure my confidence will skyrocket and Josh will start drooling in my presence. Good plan.

The clock strikes 5pm and I make my way to Oxford Street. I have a little thought about the best place to buy sexy yet sophisticated clothes and Zara comes to mind. Zara is a little bit pricey but I only needed a few statement pieces plus they also do perfume. Killing two birds with one stone sounds good to me. When I think about that phrase it is quite violent isn’t it? I do wonder sometimes why we say certain things. I mean let’s take nursery rhymes as an example. Rock-a-bye-baby is about a baby falling out of a tree to its death. Humpty Dumpty also falls to his death and ring-a-ring-a-roses is literally about the bubonic plague. I digress.

I found the statement pieces I wish to purchase and now I’m saturating myself in perfume. There are so many choices, they all smell so good. I decided to go for gardenia. After paying for my new things and leaving the store I think to myself dang girl, you’re going to look and smell amazing. I was right, investing in a little self-care has given me more confidence and I’m feeling super happy. On the way back to the station to start my journey home I walked past a McDonald’s. I turned myself around and thought, while I’m in treat myself mode … I leave with a McChicken sandwich meal and a hot apple pie in hand.
