Chapter 2 – Night out with mates
Bridget, Shazzer, Jude and Tom ran into the bar, trying to get out of the rain. They pushed people out of the way to get through the entrance and they found themselves a table next. Bridget ordered some beers and found her place at the table.
'So, Bridget, how's Mark Darcy? We were in Paris so we need filling in!' Tom grinned. Bridget blushed. 'He's fine.' 'Why isn't he here tonight Brig?' Shazzer asked while lighting her cigarette. 'He's on a business trip. He should be back tomorrow actually.' 'So.........what did you guys get up to then Brig?' Jude smiled. Bridget's cheeks turned a deeper shade of crimson as she informed them of her and Mark's magical night. Shazzer looked as if to hear more of the story but nothing came, 'Ok Bridget, so you were in your knickers snogging Mark Darcy in the street. Then what?'
'He told me he had to go on a business trip but he would be back in two weeks.' Bridget smiled.
'Then.........' Shazzer continued.
'Then he told me he'd be thinking of me the whole time.' Bridget blushed again.
'And you haven't seen him since?' Tom asked, knowing where Shazzer was going with this.
'No – well we've talked on the phone of course.' Bridget looked around confused by her friends' reactions.
'So you didn't.........you know.........go back to your place of anything?' Jude smiled.
Bridget finally understood and laughed. 'No, we didn't go back to my place.'
Tom and Shazzer shared a look. 'Well that explains it' Tom laughed.
'What?!' Bridget began to get annoyed.
'Lack of sex Bridget – It's made you cranky.' Shazzer, Tom and Jude burst into fits of laughter. Bridget smiled in spite of herself and they all cheered when the beers finally arrived.
The evening wore away and they headed for a taxi. 'So brig, we have to do this again sometime- with Mark Darcy of course!' Tom grinned, 'How about next weekend?'
'No, sorry. I'm having dinner at my parent's house.' Bridget looked disappointed. Shazzer winked, 'Will you be taking the gorgeous Mark Darcy?'
'No! My parent's don't know remember!' 'Yeah- why is that?' Shazzer and Jude asked. Bridget stopped a taxi and climbed in.
