Chapter 2

Thanks for passing my way I hope you enjoy the next chapter sorry for the short chapter this one will be longer :D happy reading!

"Mum! What are you doing in my flat?! May I emphasise the MY!"

"Well darling it is your father and I's annual naughty hide and seek day today and your father gets better every time! He won't come looking here though.. in case of the smell-SUCH FUN!"

"Euurghh! NO! NO! Get out now!"

"But darling.."

"OUT!" I gave her my Miranda is angry glare as I pointed to the door. Somehow I actually managed to control her for once but that was unacceptable! Because of my parents, I think I have the element of the prude about me well.. that's what they get if they sent their child to Boarding School. The lust from my Gary-filled thoughts is getting me quite angry ohh hello lust. Go on say out loud. LUST. Lust is a very lust abundant word isn't it? LUST. Ooh- off again!

After a spot o Billy Joel I am officially pumped for what my capable strong minded is about to do. Ask Gary out. Right so.. check under arms…. No sweat… think of awkward joke if things go wrong… yes the mango one… the mango joke did I hear you question? Ahh well… it holds the Excellency of an excellent joke. Ready?! Why are Mangoes so dismissive? Because the Mango said "MAN…..GO!" Ahahahaha I think it's brilliant if you don't then rude, very rude because I came up with that one myself. Oh yes ANYWAY! Side tracking ok let's go!

Swaying my hips in a saucey way (ooh you are dirty) I walk downstairs to meet my toddler of a friend Stevie.

"Stevie. Stevie. Stevie. Stevie."

"What?! I'm busy!"

"Well, does that mean you don't want to hear my strong minded mind telling your weak minded mind about my strong minded mind asking Gary out?"

Stevie gave me an expression of what I can only describe as a gold fish impression.

"No!"

"Yes! So my little servant Pixie, would you kindly frebreeze me up?"

"Certainly Ma'am."

The little child walked out from the counter taking a frebreeze canister with her. With her face fit for a general she proudly squirted the canister into air where I met the lovely smell by walking into it. All sounds a bit scientific, eh?

"Thank you!" I left the shop with my walk which the youths of our day call 'swaggering'. I believe they just call it that because they think they are a dog and therefore, wag their tales whilst swearing probably, I don't know. But as the bell of the closing shop door rang, a word which was shouted by Stevie accompanied it.

"Camp!"

Ah. I'll stop swaggering then. So here I was, approaching the restaurant where the chef of my dreams worked. My heart started to pound inside my chest as I proceeded to the door. As I opened the door there was a funny noise from the high street which grasped my attention.

"Coat stand!" Gary shouted as yes indeed, I had just walked into the coat stand. His lovely cheffy-like hands were out stretched to help me up. To be honest, I felt like participating in a bit of Ring a ring a roses as we all know it's quite liberating but in these circumstances childish Miranda had to be escorted out of the room.

"Hi. Ermm.. are you alright?" His beautiful eyes gazed into mine.

"Oh yes. Yes fine actually as I was practicing for my new job."

His face was as confused as I was.

"Yes I am, Gary, training to be a stunt man." I said slowly wondering how these words were automatically popping out of my mouth.

"Yes, I'll work with that, Gary I am starring in that new movie that everyone is talking about."

"What new movie that everyone is talking about?"

"You know erm.. Visiting the Trifle Tower." I had noticed rather a delicious trifle being presented to a diner at this point and therefore said Trifle Tower instead of Eiffel Tower.

"Yeah, that film isn't real is it?" He sensibly questioned.

"No." I truthfully managed to admit instead of my mind intervening me.

"And you're not a stunt man are you?"

"No."

"Would like one of them?" He said gesturing towards the trifle.

"Yes." I replied with a twitchy nod to shake of my embarrassment.

Gary then presented me with a glorious trifle. The trifled gleamed under his god-like body as the whipped cream… yes I'm not going into detail because I would rather eat so.. moving on.

"Ooh how lovely – is this new?"

"Yes, just added this to the menu today, it has been a great hit."

"So have you." I spontaneously replied with no doubt cream all over my mouth. He casually laughed whilst I panicked and laughed until the whole restaurant turned my way to see what on earth was the matter. Oh dear ermm….. Miranda tell a joke!

"Why are Mangoes so dismissive? Because the Mango said "Man…GO!" I exclaimed still uncontrollably laughing. Quick, find a distraction.

"Look it's a thing!" I pointed into mid-air. Whilst everyone looked to see what the mad lady was pointing at I quickly ran for it out of the restaurant.

"Miranda! Miranda!" Gary was behind me but I had to look at his face again. CHEEKY.

"What did you come and see me for? And I hope that being awkward episode wasn't about us? I said we can still be friends it is fine."

My lovely reader, if you have no idea what I am on about then I shall tell you like Fiona Bruce. Basically we thought we were you know.. in love and so we decided to go spontaneous if you know what I mean but we didn't because it turned out that he married someone for a green card (someone he used to work with in Hong-Kong) because he owed her load s of favours and they were you know spontaneously spending nights with eachother and.. LOVELY READER THIS IS NOT A GOOD TIME!

With the question still unanswered I replied awkwardly "No.. Stevie told me about the trifle. It's fine don't worry .. yes friends, friends." I lied, sighing at the word 'friends' as he came to hug me. I held on to him tightly as I never wanted the moment to stop.
