Surprise! Bonus GBF post..pt 3 & a quarter.

Afternoon,

For those who wonder aimlessly through my blog wondering what the 'eck is going on...here is a bonus post before Fridays part 4 of Girls Best Friend.

Its not very long, but long enough to have a bite of cake and sip of tea, so take a moment and get warmed up for Friday with part 3 & a quarter.


He was alive. She grabbed the phone with her sleeve over her hand and used a pen to dial the police. She took the pen and left the office as fast as her feet would carry her, ran into the car park and jumped in her car. She sat there knuckles white from gripping the steering wheel so tightly, her stomach was doing somersaults and the adrenaline was pulsating around her body, she started her car and sped off into the night. She felt alive.

Millie swung her car into the parking space outside her block of flats, leapt out and ran up the stairs as fast as she could. She struggled to find her key quick enough but when she did she pushed open the door with such a force that it hit the wall, causing Elvis to wake from his slumber and bark at her as if she was an intruder, and ricochet back into her. Breathing heavily, she closed the door, leant back and bent over double to try and catch her breath. Millie locked the door, unlocked it to peer out into the shadows in the hallway, then closed and locked it again. Finally, with Elvis still barking at her, she went over to him and calmed him down.

It was hard to believe that it was only Wednesday and so far she had decided to go and find some hidden diamonds, handed in her resignation, lied & deceived a work colleague,seen one of her bosses get kidnapped and made an anonymous phonecall to the police. Just thinking about it exhausted her and she went straight to the kitchen and put the kettle on.

Millie sat at her kicthen table, with a steaming hot cup of tea and a slice of her favourite lemon and poppy seed cake, Elvis looked up at her in the hopes that she might share it but Millie never shared cake. She looked down at Elvis and said 'Elvis, darling boy, we are going on an adventure on Saturday, a race against time too, it will be just like that film....the amazing race..and if we win Elvis, if we win...we can move somewhere with a garden for you and a bay window for me...and we can...we can...' Millie trailed off. Elvis changed position and laid across Millie's feet as she fell asleep at the table.
