NEIGHBOURS

Millie slowly and surely came back to a fully conscious state, she sipped at a large chilled glass of water whilst the three of us clucked around her, making sure she was OK.

By the time the ambulance arrived she was back to normal, 'thanks guys', she said to the ambulance crew, 'but I really am fine, I'm so sorry to have caused such a fuss.'

Helen took the step to call a cab once the medical team had departed and we all made our way back to my apartment.

It was agreed that a quieter evening and a chance for Millie to relax and tell us what had happened would be best all round.

We made our way to my apartment and as I put the key in the lock Tomas came out from next door, half dressed and as gorgeous as always, he wanted to check that everything was OK.

I reassured him that all was in hand and that we just needed a little time with Millie.

As the girls ushered Millie into my home Tomas kissed me on the cheek.

'And how are you neighbour?' I asked, it was such a short time ago that I had worried for his life.

'Couldn't be feeling better', he exclaimed ... and I had to admit he did look incredibly fit and well.

I'll come and see you in the morning, I explained, i needed to check on Millie.

'OK, but I'm back to work tomorrow, I'm going to sort this show out for you!'

I was about to protest when I heard a deep male voice calling his name ..'Tom ...everything OK?'

I turned as Ben Truman apeared in his doorway, a small handtowel covering his modesty.

'Hi Ben', I smiled coquetishly.

'Hi Amanda', he smiled coquetishly back.

With that he extended his hand and pulled Tomas in.

I laughed and made my way inside to Millie, she needed me right now and I was there for her, every step of the way.

A MODEL SITUATION?

We chattered away for half an hour, sipping at the Pol Roger and deciding which of the male models where the hottest.

I am very pleased to report that the girls all agreed with my selection of both the male and the female models.

'When it comes to sex I know what I'm talking about'. They all agreed .... because ... to put it simply I do.

'So, down to business', Helen put her drink down and turned off her phone as she spoke ... two signs that she really did mean what she said.

'Over the past week or so the four of us have been caught up in a rather bizarre chain of events. Admittedly it centred on Amanda at the beginning, and Lord knows what sort of sick mind was behind all that, but it has now encompassed us all, linking us togther in ways that seem to transcend the normal parameters of human friendship'. Helen paused for breath before carrying on.

'So what we have to ask ourselves is; what is going on? what part do we play in this? and, most importantly, what are we going to do about it?' Helen reached for her glass and took a sip, leaving the floor to the rest of us.

Cassie took the baton, 'well, I can go someway to answering your question as to what is going on'.

Helen, 'well, let's hear what you have to say then shall we?'

I put the pictures of the swimwear models back into my handbag ... there were other fish to fry now.
