Thought I'd do a teeny tiny chapter update tonight. It's only a short one, but at least it keeps the story ticking along!
WOAHHHHH Amy thought! Did Karma just really say that! God, it just got worse!
Amy's heart was beating fast. She couldn't distinguish the cause of it. Was it the booty call with Kate? the shock of realising it was actually Karma on the phone? Or the fact that Karma appeared to be flirting. WTF?
Amy remained silent as she tried to work out the the fuck to say back. Karma beat her to it.
"Listen Amy. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. You're clearly...umm... in the middle of something.."
OH God Amy thought...yes I was in the middle of masturbating! How do you recover from this situation. Amy racked her brains to try to say something funny. To try and make light of this incredibly embarrassing situation.
"Ha - well I WAS in the middle of something, but funnily enough the moments kinda past now" Amy admitted.
"Really?" Karma asked. Amy thought she detected a hint of suggestion in her tone.
Amy cleared her throat and decided a change in subject was the best approach. "So umm it's pretty early still Karm. IS everything OK?"
"Yeah Umm I'm sorry for calling so early, I umm just woke up feeling really embarrassed about the wreck I was last night. I wanted to apologise again." There was a short pause, during which it seemed Karma was finding the courage to continue " I... well I wondered if you wanted to maybe meet for breakfast. My shout. It's the least I can do"
Amy considered the invitation but didn't think it was a good idea. "Listen Karma, you really don't have to apologise for anything OK. It's a tough time for you. I'm just pleased I can help."
Amy added "Thanks for the offer of breakfast, but I haven't actually seen my Mum since I've been back so I'll probably just hang out here if that's OK?"
Wow - that must have been a first, Amy actually choosing to have breakfast with her mum over, well over anything else! Amy also realised that Karma knew that as it was now 7.39am that her mum would already be at the TV studio. It was a rubbish excuse, Amy knew it, and she knew Karma would see through it too.
Karma responded chirpily "Of course. I... I understand, I just... well ummm it's OK. Another time." Karma hesitated before adding "I'm...umm sorry to have interrupted you and everything. Please say hi to your mum from me, and I guess I'll see you tomorrow right?" Karma added.
The mention of the word mum, made Amy feel real bad.
"Listen Karma, how about we meet up for a coffee this afternoon? I meant I what I said about being here for you."
"I would love that" karma responded happily. "Usual place?" Karma asked.
Without even thinking Amy responded "of course! Usual table if it's free. 2pm?"
Despite not speaking for the past five years they had both slipped into the old Amy and Karma without even really trying. This fact frightened Amy slightly. As much as she didn't want it to be true, there was still a bond there between them.
Amy admitted defeat and reluctantly got up and headed to the shower. She was still feeling ever so slightly sexually frustrated and as she felt the soothing hot water encompass her body she closed her eyes and enjoyed the sensation.
Just as she did, Karma popped into her mind. The hair, the body, the suggestions. "Fuck!" Amy shouted in surprise as she snapped open her eyes. This was NOT happening. Amy flicked the shower control from hot to cold!
