Excerpt
‘Itssss Kyle….he left meeeeee!' The tears started up again and she sounded like a choking engine.
‘Oh gosh, why what happened?' Harley hadn't been under the impression they'd been in trouble.
Kyle was Amber's solicitor boyfriend. He worked in a different department but for the same company. He was handsome but nothing striking and Harley had often wondered what Amber had seen in the guy in the first place. Kyle was arrogant and sarcastic; dining out with him was like scrubbing a brillo pad against ones skin.
‘He said.' She sniffed and straightened up. ‘That it just wasn't working.'
‘What wasn't working?'
‘Us.'
‘Did you ask him why?'
She nodded.
‘And?'
‘He gave me that line, it's not you it's me…I just need to play the field a bit more. I feel as though you're suffocating me.'
‘Jerk!' Harley was hardly surprised; he was never one to deliver bad news delicately.
‘What am I going to dooooo!' The tears erupted again.
Harley took both Amber's hands into hers and waited for the cries to die down. When only a few sniffs were heard, Harley stood up and made her way to the kitchen; pulled out a giant tub of chocolate ice-cream from the fridge and picked up two desert spoons.
‘Here.' Harley handed her a spoon and put the tub between them.
‘I can't eat that, I'll get bigger. Lips to hips.' She tried to smile.
‘Oh honey please. Listen to yourself. You and I both know we've got big booties, we are never going to look like Victoria Secret models, so eat.' Harley popped open the yummy ice-cream. ‘Come on, why try and be something you're not? Your words not mine.' She took the first scoop and took it into her mouth.
A smile crept up on Amber's face and soon she was digging into the creamy ice-cream too.
‘I hate men!' Amber screeched.
‘Hmmm, but we love them too!' Harley thought back to her boss. He was the sexiest man she'd ever set eyes on and yet she couldn't stand to be near him...
