know how much I love your job and connections here, don’t you?’ She closed the laptop and jumped to her feet, grabbing hold of my forearms.
    I did, and I was enjoying the perks, too.
    At exactly 11:55am we knocked on Nathan’s door. Bella was dressed to the nines; looking beautiful and somehow making it look like she hadn’t even really bothered. I, on the other hand, although wearing good jeans and boots, had on one of JJ’s old rugby shirts from Cambridge Uni and although I had tucked it in the top of my jeans it hung off me. I was comfortable, but extremely pleased I had taken extra time with my hair and make-up today, so at least I didn’t feel too much like the ugly stepsister.
    Nathan’s door swung open quickly, to reveal a dressed down version of Edwards, complete with leather jacket. ‘Ladies are we all ready?’ he held the door open for Nathan who appeared wearing his panty dropping grin, directed straight at Bella, who openly swooned.
    WTF?
    I decided when we got home later, or as soon as we were not within earshot of anyone else, it was time to ask her some very pointed questions.
    Nathan had his crutch positioned in its usual place, but I noted he was barely using it to support his weight. He was positively exuding happiness and excitement.
    Obviously good news from the surgeon then? The four of us made our way to the lift that led up to the roof.
    ‘OK ladies, we should be there in only about 10 minutes or so, do you have everything you need?’ questioned Edwards.
    After we nodded in response, he opened the roof door. God it was cold being so high up and outside. A bit scary too, as the wind had a quality and strength up here that could have almost blown you over. It reminded me of my favourite place near home. Edwards placed his arms around Bella and me and guided us towards the waiting helicopter. Opening the door he pointed towards the back seats, he then helped up a cross looking Nathan. We placed our headphones on and watched Edwards climb into the pilot seat, a man of many talents, so it seemed.
    The nervousness in my stomach dissipated with the start of the helicopter blades. We moved away from the helipad and into a serene looking, clear blue sky. The view was simply breath-taking. Edwards was right with his estimation of time and only minutes later we touched down in a large green open field. After climbing out we watched Edwards take off again.
    ‘Wow,’ came from Bella.
    ‘Come on let’s go get a drink from the bar, before kick-off.’ Nathan turned towards the car park and what looked like a very posh clubhouse.
    Deliberately I slowed down, creating a little distance between myself, Bella and sex on legs in front of us. I placed my arm through hers, ‘So care to tell me what’s going on with you and just fucked hair?’
    Bella’s head spun around to meet my stare, ‘Just a bit of fun, Frankie, that’s all. Honest flirting, nothing more. Anyway we need to get you ready to meet the elusive Alex, don’t we? Are you excited?’
    I wasn’t convinced by her answer, but Nathan had slowed up to wait for us and I could only nod my answer to her.
    ‘What position does Alex play, Nathan?’ I asked, drawing Nathan once more into our group.
    ‘You do know your stuff then girls, unfortunately although I enjoy it I am not overly conversed in positions and such like on the rugby pitch... I do however know lots of other interesting positions,’ he said grinning from ear to ear and lifting his left eyebrow, staring straight at Bella. She pushed him on the chest for good measure and placed her arm through the crutch less one, laughing.
    Harmless flirting? My arse.
    ‘I think he plays second row?’ came from Nathan, his face was showing a frown, with a thoughtful expression. He was looking over his shoulder at me, as we carried on walking. ‘He’s a couple of inches taller than me, and a hell of a lot broader.
    We had entered a very modern looking building, but I was completely blown away
