Stuck on Repeat Summary: Laura and Jamie have recovered from the whole Isobel thing but is all as it seems this time? "Jamie, has she settled?" Laura called through her new flat. "Yeah." Jamie called back and in seconds was in the same room as her, "I suppose I should get going, I'll text you." "Okay, I have Danielle coming over anyway." Laura replied before Jamie kissed her forehead and left. "Aww Em, you always cry when your daddy leaves." Laura sighed minutes after Jamie's departure when Emily decided to start crying. "Okay, I'm coming." Emily was still confused with what was going on; one week her dad would be around a lot and then the next she'd only see him at weekends. On the plus side, raised voices weren't an issue anymore. "You don't like it when daddy's not here do you? Why don't I read you a story and then you go to sleep for mummy?" Laura carried Emily through to the living room of the flat and sat Emily on her lap. "Once upon a timeā¦" Laura began before the sound of the doorbell rang through the flat, scaring Emily in the process and making her cry again. "Surely it's past her bedtime? I thought we were having a girl's night." Danielle sighed, it wasn't that she didn't like Emily; it was just that she thought kids got in the way of fun. "It is, she won't sleep when Jamie's not here now a days, I'm just reading her a story in hope that she'll go back off to sleep." Laura told her best friend as she stepped aside to let Danielle in. "I won't be much longer Dan, make yourself at home." Not long later Emily was fast asleep and Laura and Danielle were sat on the sofa putting the world to rights when conversation turned to relationships. "So, new man?" Laura asked as Danni smiled at her phone after receiving a message. "Maybe." Her friend replied secretively. "Do tell." Laura pried. "Fine, his name is Matt and he's just out of uni but oh my God, he's so good looking." "Is it serious then?" "I don't know, we're just having fun at the moment. Anyway, what's going on with you and your toy boy?" "He is not a toy boy!" Laura replied defensively. "Whatever." "I managed to tell him how I was feeling and then he split up with Isobel, I think he was just using her to get at me." "Well it worked, she was a cow anyway." "Yeah she was she got what she deserved in the end though. Anyway I don't know what's going on at the moment. We're just going with it." "Are you hooking up?" Danielle asked bluntly. "It's only been a week since he split from Isobel..." "And?" "Okay, we have but just once." "And he's not going all serious on you this time?" "No, I don't really know what's going on." "So you're together but not? That's what you wanted! A relationship without commitment." "I suppose." "Anyway tell me more about Matt."
