Saucy Secrets of Hidden Love
1.
"Lunch! Terry! Claire! Alex! Tess!" Meg called for the others while Jodi and Becky sat themselves down at the outdoor table.
"Pass me the tomato sauce please." Becky asked Jodi.
"Yum, Meg these sausage rolls are delicious!" Jodi made herself heard to the rest of the group. She sat with her plate piled with food: sausage rolls, muffins, cheese crackers and salads. Tess meanwhile, had only a piece of French bread and pâté. She had hardly touched it because she had been too busy talking about her relationship with Dave. "He's soo sweet!" She giggled. "He does this thing when he kisses me and he goes - "
"Tess! This isn't a girly chit-chat session." Alex laughed. "I don't think Terry and I need to know how Dave kisses!"
"Oh yea - well thought the girls would love to know." She told him. She looked around to see if Nick or Dave were near. They had gone to Killarny to fix a broken pipe for Harry, and Tess didn't feel comfortable talking about Dave when Nick was around.
"So Claire and Alex?" Jodi piped up to change the subject a little. "How's this thing been going between you two?"
"What thing?" Claire asked. Alex blushed and shuffled in his seat.
"Oh we all know! Come on Claire! Admit it - you cant just be 'friends'!" Becky said, but she kept her month shut when she saw Claire's angry look.
"Nothing is going on between Alex and I." Claire made it quite firm. "Eh Alex?"
"Uh - um." He looked at Claire and the expression on her face showed she wasn't in a joking mood. Alex felt surprisingly hurt by her reaction. If he were asked the question, he would have admitted his love for her. He was beginning to assume that Claire didn't feel the same way.
"Don't embarrass him, girls!" Meg laughed. "Anyone want any sauce?" The table suddenly came alive again as everyone tried to start new conversations, but Alex was still feeling rejected. Claire wouldn't even talk to him let alone look him in the eye for the rest of the lunch. The same afternoon, Alex asked Meg why Claire came down so hard on him.
"I really don't know Alex. That's something you'll have to sort out yourselves, but ill try talking to her."
"Do you think - that it's maybe.you know.?"
"No Alex I don't have any idea what on earth you are talking about!"
"You know, "that time of the month?"
Meg laughed. "No, I don't know! That's another question you can talk to her about!"
