Learning Curve PREVIEW

Barbara Brand rifled through the black sports bag, seizing a pair of skinny jeans and holding them up, waiting for the excuse. Russell shrugged.

"I've gotta have something to wear when ( Read more... )

Chapter Thirty-One
    “Ow!” You poked me in the eye!”

“Well, it wouldn't have happened if you weren't trying to peek!”

“I'm not trying to peek! And if you let me look, I wouldn't need to peek! Haven't you bothered to wrap it?”

“Yes, I have, but you can tell what it is even when its wrapped!”

“It's not something really special is it? Don ( Read more... )

Chapter twenty-five
Sue danced around the bathroom, swinging her hips and waving her free hand, the other clasping her toothbrush. Blobs of toothpaste flew around and splatted against the bath, sink and mirror, but she didn’t care, “I’m Walking on Sunshine” by Katrina and the Waves eliminating her worries and amplifying her joy.

Chapter Twenty-One
Chapter Twenty-Two
    It was dark, waiting outside Julian Barratt’s house. Noel looked around, unable to make out much aside from the road behind him and the door in front of him, and wondered crossly if it would be so difficult for the council to invest in a lamppost or two. He was suddenly drowned in light, sound and colour as ( Read more... )

Chapter Nineteen
Chapter Twenty
    The first problem that they were faced with was that of where everyone was going to sit. Sue and Dee opted for the edge of the bed, Matt was on the floor and Russell was in an armchair opposite the bed, with Noel perched on the arm.
