Chapter 2 A commitment
"Where have you been?" Angela was propped up on one elbow peering at me through bleary eyes.
Somebody once told me that if you could see a woman when she first woke up and you thought she was beautiful then you should marry her. I had ignored that advice when I married Wendy, she looked terrible when she first woke up but I was going to get as close to being married to Angela as I could because she was drop-dead gorgeous at any time of the day.
"I just drove Dee to work and picked up some coffee and croissants at a bakery on the way back." The mention of food and coffee had Angela up in a flash and sitting cross-legged on the bed while I went to get some plates.
When I came back she was just settling down on a towel, "I'm leaking your sticky mess," she laughed, and took the plate I offered her.
"So should I have saved it for Dee?" I asked innocently.
"Noo," she protested, "I wanted it ... all of it ... I just didn't want to sit in it. So what time did Dee get in?" After our love-making Angela had drifted off to sleep while I lay there letting my brain spin its wheels.
Dee had got home about 6.30 and headed straight for the shower. Of course, being at least a concerned friend, I crept out of bed and slipped into the shower with her. She had sighed and leaned against me when I wrapped my arms around her.
"Oh god, I am so fucked," she groaned, "my guy was nice but I'm sure he must have swallowed a bottle of Viagra because he just didn't stop."
