Phil stood by the chair in which Nicole sat. Both looking at the phone. "Answer it"
"What! But what if it's him!
"Just answer it, it might not even be him" Phil answered.
Nicole looked up at Phil and then back to the phone still ringing. "I'll put it on loudspeaker…" Nicole gingerly reached for her phone. Her hand shaking. She picked it up and pressed a button. "H-hello" she said voice shaking, trying hard to stop it. "Hiya!" Nicole quickly moved the phone away from her as the voice from the other end was so loud. Phil looked slightly stunned. Nicole moved the phone back towards her. "Lauren?" she asked softly.
"Well yeah! Who else?" Lauren laughed at the other end of the phone.
"Why did it say private number calling?" Nicole asked curiously, calming down.
"Well I'm at Von's work. She says hi by the way" Lauren added. Nicole could hear a loud "hi" in the background. Clearly Yvonne. Only she could yell that loud. "Well we were going to go out, and I was early so I came to see Von, and we talking and then it occurred to us. Why isn't Nicole with us? So I rang you and here we are! So you gonna come out?"
Nicole frowned slightly, but looked disappointed at the same time. "No, sorry I-I can't"
"Aww but why?" Lauren moaned at the other end. "Chat up some fellas it will be fun!" She added cheerfully.
"No I just don't want to. Sorry"
"Why!" Lauren demanded. She suddenly sighed "Are you saving yourself for that Phil hunter?" Nicole's eyes widened suddenly and sharply. As a matter of fact so did Phil's. Nicole quickly jabbed a finger at her phone taking it off speed dial. Phil stud up rather stunned he had just hear that. Other than that one night at the club Nicole had never shown any interest in him. Now this. He backed towards the door. Nicole who was turning redder by the second turned to look at him. Phil then said "I'm just gonna go change" Nicole nodded in acknowledgement and turned away from him. Phil then walked slowly up the stairs.
"You and your bloody big mouth Lauren! I'll speak to you later!" and with that Nicole hung up, and threw her phone down next to her. She lay back on the coach and ran her fingers through her hair. Can this get any worse? She thought to herself.
Phil watched her from the stairs. Gorgeous Girl in my house. Came to me for protection. Fancies me. And she's sitting there on my sofa, helpless……Interesting… He smirked to himself and walked upstairs to get changed.
To be continued, moi is a tad busy at the mo!
