N.B – This is the opening chapter to a novel I am currently working on. This chapter is basically an introduction to the main character and therefore does not include any erotica. Future scenes do include group sex and lesbian sex and I will post them as soon as I have them in a reasonable state. Thanks for reading.

Annabel looked in the mirror. Anti-frizz serum lied. She now had a slimy frizz ball where most people have hair. Luckily for her, she'd been searching all morning for an excuse to get out of a job interview and this one was the best so far.

However, as the frizz ball expanded, the excuse seemed to shrink. She couldn't seriously miss an interview because of a bad hair day. That would be almost as bad as those women who cry when they break a nail. She took a deep breath and continued to wrestle the giant pom-pom that grew out of her head and dared to call itself hair.

The interview was in precisely one hour and Annabel wanted it less than boiled to death sprouts on Christmas Day. It was a call centre job and by the description she'd been given over the phone there was not much work to be done. "Just phone sitting really" is how the overly friendly woman had coaxed her into an interview.

Annabel had been out of work for far too long and now that she had found herself a nice little flat, her lovely little pot of pennies was running at an all time low. She wasn't lazy, it was just that she'd never had to go out and fend for herself before and the idea was absolutely terrifying. She had always worked for her brother, Malcolm. He had his own business providing office supplies. For the best part he was off generating new and chasing used clients whilst she tucked herself away in the back office going over the stock takes and profits.

Annabel had worked for her brother since she was seventeen and had played the role of office mouse ever since. Malcolm was a good brother but Anna knew he was never going to promote her through the business. Living and working together was their first mistake. Whenever they got home it was, "Mr Client said this and Mrs Client did that...the profits this month are good, the stock levels today look low. That new paper clip dispenser is a wondrous creation don't you think?" Annabel did not think; hence the little flat on her own and major lack of income.

-------------------------------

The taxi pulled up at the curb and honked away as Anna did a final check in the mirror; beige suit finished carefully with a silk scarf. Check. CV in 'Malc-Enterprise' zippy wallet. Check. P45. Check. Bank details. Check. Brown shoes, make up, handbag. Check, check, check. Everything was in place. She took a deep breath and was out of the door.

The driver asked far too many questions along the way and by the time she got to the office she was a nervous wreck. Her 'chickening out' was cut extremely short as king size blobs of rain splodged onto her hair and down her suit rendering her the office wet dog before she even began.

"Hi I'm Lizzi, you must be Annabel Gibbons?" It was 'over-friendly' from the phone call.

"Er, Hello, yes, hi." Anna stumbled with as she followed Lizzi into what seemed like the lift of doom.

"I'll just give you a quick tour of the 8th floor, which is where you'll be based. All our out of hours work is on the 8th Floor. It's a small office but we only ever need two people in so it's ideal." The lift announced, "8th floor" in a half demonic, half bored-shitless-of-being-demonic-tone.

Lizzie lead them into a smallish unoccupied office and offered Annabel water and a chair. She asked her a few questions about previous experience, job expectations and how she felt about working unsociable hours. Relaxing a little Annabel described her old job and the reason she left, trying to keep things positive. Lizzi seemed impressed and suddenly, without even pausing for thought, offered her the job.

"All we need is for you to be here should anyone phone during the night. All you need to do then is take their details and pass them onto the day staff in the morning to deal with. The ordering systems go down every night for essential maintenance between midnight and 6am so the only time you'll need to log on is at eleven when you get in. The late shift chappies will take you through anything out of line that you need to know about and then you can check your emails, etcetera. Log off just before midnight and forget about that until 6, then you can type up the handover and anything else that needs doing before freedom at seven."

Lizzi beamed again. She was the happiest woman on the planet and Annabel was far too nervous to have listened to a single thing she had just been told.

Annabel accepted the job and was asked to be in two nights from now at 11pm to pick her ID card up from security and then she was to go straight up in the lift where her new "buddy", Lucy would meet her. Lizzi almost overheated completely as she excitedly suggested a brief tour. How could anyone refuse?

"Ok Annabel, here we go. To the left are the ladies toilets and to the right we have a snack room where you can get tea and coffee and midnight feasts if you like"

Lizzi beamed, sashaying her 'I adore midnight feast' hips at just the thought of all the e numbers. Annabel gave a crooked smile back, still wanting to turn around and run.

--------------------------

Annabel sat in the car park at 10pm. She knew she was ludicrously early but she had convinced herself that her car would break down on the way and that her clock may be an hour slow or that traffic would be bad. However, the only thing bad right now was her stomach. It wasn't butterflies, it was full grown pterodactyls, circling angrily. Annabel had two choices now, she could go home and have some Andrews or she could brave the office and nip to the toilet, hopefully without being seen. Suddenly, mid ponder, a heavy hand pounded on the window next to Annabel's head almost providing a solution there and then to the debate she had been having with herself.

"Security! Are you alright there love? Not the new lass are you?" Said a grufty voice and face.

Squeezing everything she could squeeze together Annabel nodded pathetically, hoping the hairy creature would leave. No such luck.

"Come on in love, it's a bit chilly out tonight. Saw it on the weather. Frost. I've got coffee." Grufty continued proudly. Annabel had no choice but to nod thanks and unlock her door. She gently twisted her body and slid herself out of the car like a paralytic serpent before quickly straightening herself and glancing around. Grufty had already shambled back indoors. She took a few deep breaths and headed his way. Then she quickly trotted back and locked the car door.

Reception smelt slightly tobaccoey but the coffee was beginning to hide it nicely. He handed her a mug and pointed to the TV,

"Basic Instinct. Corker eh?"

Annabel couldn't decide between being sick or dying of embarrassment. "Err, may I use the toilet?"

Grufty pointed her in the general direction and Annabel fled. Returning relieved with checked and rechecked hair she was feeling slightly braver. Less than a minute into her confidence boost a dark haired woman waltzed into reception. She had gorgeous caramel skin and more confidence than RADA.

"Hey Bobby, how are you sweetheart?" She asked the security guard, then noticing the nervous new face, "oh hey, are you Annabel Gibbons?" She extended a manicured hand to Annabel's pitiful nod. "Follow me hon. You're early..." She turned to Annabel and gave a brilliant white smile. Annabel prayed lightening would enter the building immediately and strike her dead.

Lucy showed Annabel all of the basics and the guys from the evening shift confirmed that there was nothing to handover. Next thing to do was put the kettle on and settle into less than perfect chairs. Lucy was charming and funny and full of life and helped Annabel to relax a little. They chatted about previous jobs, and how they'd hated them and Lucy confessed that this job was so easy that she'd fallen into it and lost any of the ambitions she used to have. With a mindless job she could concentrate on her social life.

"You know you'll never get a pay rise?" Lucy asked

"Err, to be honest I never thought to ask anything like that." Annabel replied clumsily.

"Cheapest company you can work for. You know, they offer 24/7 service to all customers but are too cheap to license and man the system 24/7 so that's where we come in. Minimum wage slack Harries. Don't get me wrong. It has its benefits. Do you like to party?"

"Err, I'm not really into clubs but I don't mind going to the pub with friends" Annabel replied noting the disappointment on Lucy's face.

"You don't club... How old are you girl? 95?!" She giggled.

Annabel blushed. "Err 30".

"Good. I'm still the office baby." Lucy clapped her hands together excitedly.

"You'd be amazed at what that gets you." She added, winking cheekily.
