half.'
'So where is it?'
'On my iPod. Oh don't worry. I'll sort it later. Honestly, do it yourself or miss it out,' he grumbled as they were leaving. 'Thanks very much for all your help anyway. You worked hard all day. Hope you're not too weary now?'
'I'm fine. Thanks for asking. I'll have a bath and that will soon sort me out. Are you coming back to fetch me or should I drive myself?'
'Of course I'll fetch you. Good I got the car to myself for the day. Mel's gone away for the holiday so it's all mine. I'll pick you up at what, seven?'
'When are the rest of the world arriving?'
'About eightish I think. I just wanted some time alone with you first.' She felt a thrill run through her. She was looking forward to this evening but the idea of a bit of time spent together first pleased her no end.'
She lay in her bath a while later, thinking of him with great pleasure. She did however, know one thing. She was totally in love with this man. One way or another, he'd got into her soul. She closed her eyes and thought about him a whole lot more. His dark hair, blue eyes and his almost perfect good looks. He was quite a bit taller than she was but with heels, it was perfect. She also quite liked his leather gear ... not her usual choice but it suited him perfectly. At least she was spending a fairly important evening of the year with him. He wasn't escorting some expensively dressed floozy to a party somewhere. He was all hers for the night. Well, for a long evening, anyway. She had better not count her chickens about the whole night! She shivered suddenly. Sleeping with Mike? It certainly frightened her and hopefully, by the time it really happened, she'd be over it. She got out of the bath and dried herself. She took out her silver dress from the wardrobe and slipped it on. Immediately, she looked to see a different girl in her mirror. She would do for Mike. She twisted her hair into a knot and put on some make up. She was ready. And it was only six-fifty. She wandered around, wondering what had happened to him. It was seven fifteen by the time Mike was knocking at her door.
'I'm so sorry to be late. A few problems in getting the sound system working. It all seems okay now though. I say. You look amazing. I really love that dress. It suits you beautifully.'
'Thank you. You're very kind.'
'I really mean it. It's perfect on you.' He reached over to her and took her in his arms. 'I really can't believe you're coming with me to what is just a family party.' Holding her close to him, he kissed her and sent all her senses soaring into space. She looked up at him, saying,
'Thank you for inviting me. I can hardly believe it either. I'm looking forward to it. You're looking pretty smart yourself. No leathers tonight?'
'Nah. The parents wouldn't approve. Shall we go then?'
'Okay. I'm ready to meet the rest of your family.'
'You ready? Let's go.'
The room was still empty of people, except for Mike's parents. They had changed and looked very smart.
'Oh my word. Don't you look lovely?' Mrs Thomas said.
'Thank you very much,' Joanne said softly. 'You're looking lovely too.'
'So who's this you've brought with you?' Mr Thomas asked his son. 'Surely she isn't with you?'
'Okay Dad. Cut it out.'
'I wondered how anyone looking like this would come with you. May I have a dance later? I can put you right about this young man. Tell you stuff about him that will put you off him forever.'
'Thanks. I'd like that. I need some information about this son of yours.'
Very soon, the room began to fill with family and friends. The Aussie contingent arrived amidst a great noise. Joanne was surprised to see them all arriving with sound waves that would have disturbed anyone's peace.
'Why any dingbat like old Mike should attract a fancy bird like you is beyond me,' said one of them. 'If you want someone to really show you what's what, call on me.' She laughed and promised she would. 'So you gonna come and strut your stuff with me?'
'I should think
