A few weeks passed. I had a couple of decent-ish shags. He had some which sounded spectacular and listening in worked through a number of my replacement batteries. He had stopped demanding morning head off me and I weirdly missed it and missed him.
Then one lazy Saturday morning I got the old text again “come over and clean me up.” I made up some bullshit to my companion of the night before about my parents being unexpectedly in town and watched him scarper with appropriate haste. And then once the coast was clear I slipped over.
He wasn’t alone. It was the same girl from two weeks ago. I gave her an “I’m on to you” look – she was clearly trying to get herself upgraded to regular FWB and was trying to show him she was down for anything. She had probably suggested this. The look on her face was surprising though. I didn’t quite know what it was.
