When Angelica finally put in an appearance, her face and upper chest was flushed with excitement, her blonde hair was disheveled, and her dress looked as if she'd just slept in it.
"Where the hell have you been?" Mike hissed, grabbing her by the elbow, and pulling her down onto the high stool next to him. "I've been waiting here for over an hour!"
"Shut up and buy me a white wine!" she ordered, barely able to contain her excitement. All that sex had made her thirsty, or was it Bull's salty cum?
Mike was so surprised by her forcefulness, that he did as instructed, then sat there fuming, and tapping his fingers on the bar top, as she downed half the contents of her glass, in a single swallow.
"Well?" he asked, at last, unable to contain himself any further. "What happened, for Christ's sake!"
"I've managed to find out where your little, dark-haired hooker is, from our gorilla friend!" she said, with a triumphant smirk on her face.
He leant over and gripped her shoulders. "Where?" he snapped, shaking her roughly. "Where is she?"
"Yeow! That hurts!" She pouted, pulling free of his grip. "She's shacked up with Arnie Sidebottom, in his palatial pad, over in Borehamwood someplace!"
"Borehamwood, that's out Watford way isn't it?" he muttered, his face filled with sudden excitement.
"Yeah, I think so? Listen, Mike, I don't want you to go getting your hopes up. From what I've been told, she isn't exactly being held there against her will!"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, rumor has it that she and Arnie have become pretty, um, intimate, of late!"
"You must be mad!" he snarled, angrily. "He must be twice her age!"
"And one of the richest men in London, by all accounts!" she added, with a slight sneer on her lips.
"No, no! He must have some sort of hold over her! I'm sure she would've been in contact with me, otherwise!" he protested, in a slightly panicky tone.
"Maybe!" she muttered, still unconvinced. She drained the contents of her glass.
"How did you manage to worm all this information out of what's-his-name, then?" Mike muttered, darkly.
"I used my womanly wiles!" she replied, patting her hair, and fluttering her false eyelashes.
"You mean you let him fuck you, you bitch!" he snarled, angrily, as jealousy reared its ugly head.
"Look buster, I only did it for you!" she snapped, angrily, tears welling up in those big, beautiful eyes. "So, if that's the way you feel about it, you can go fuck yourself!" She slid off the stool, and stormed out of the room, without even a backward glance.
"Angelica!" he called after her, feebly. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't..." but she was no longer there to hear him. "Shit, shit, shit!" he muttered, angrily, turning back to the bar. "Gimme another drink...," he squinted at the name on the barkeeper's shirt, "Tarquin!"

"Uuuunngh, aaaaaugh, ooh Jesus!" groaned Alicia, doubled up in bed, clutching her stomach, as it cramped up once again. "What the hell is wrong with me? Nnnnngh!" A fresh jolt of pain shook her, twisting her guts, and bringing fresh tears to her eyes. She was shaking all over and perspiring, freely, as if she had a high fever, and her skin itched all over.
She heard the door to her bedroom click open, and suddenly Arnie was by her side, leaning over and looking down at her, then feeling her hot, feverish forehead. "My, my, we are in a bad way!" he murmured, almost sympathetically.
"Please help me, Arnie," she groaned, weakly, clutching at his sleeve. "I feel like death warmed up!"
"Hang on honey!" He popped into the en-suite bathroom, and quickly returned, with a glass of water, and two pink pills. "Here take these honey," he murmured. "They will make you feel better!"
She nodded, and popped the tablets into her mouth, before taking the glass in her trembling hands, and washing them down, with several large gulps of water. She handed back the glass tumbler, sweat beading her forehead and upper chest. "W-What's wrong with me, darling?" she gasped. "I feel like shit!"
"Probably just withdrawal symptoms, babe! Nothing to get too concerned about!" he replied, with a wry grin.
