"I’ve got a line that’s six custoh the, I’ll let you know," I said and hung up I put the phone down and leant back inabout her all last night andfor her call Notfor a woman to call me I wasn’t sure what it was about Harlow that put her in hts so often but I suspected it was how different she was to every other wo VP of Storm, I’d had my share of women who just wanted in on the club They were an easy lay; there was no challenge there In fact, there was never any challenge from any of them Harloas the opposite; she’d questioned me repeatedly It annoyed the shit out of me, and yet, at the same time, it turned me the fuck on I wanted more of her sassy mouth

"Harlow hasn’t told me your name"

She extended her hand and shook mine "I’m Cheryl Nice to meet you And thank you for what you’ve done for e"

"Good to meet you too, Cheryl As I said to Harlow, you can’t run a café without the right equipment Happy to help where I can"

"Coffee would be good, thanks"

"Coo and ain after her mother left and didn’t realise that the time had passed when Cheryl came back to the table with cake and coffee She actually had two coffees in her hand, and when she sat at the table with et the i to be a heart to heart?"
