"Come on Mary get on the pole!" Mary shots vodka as the music blares
"Hell no! I aren't getting on that .. thing!" We all begin to giggle our hair flowing past our shoulders
"Come on Mary ! I thought blondes were suppose to have more fun !" Hanna looks to me as I click my fingers gaining another tray of drinks
"Come on girls, drink up its not often we get to leave the men at home !" Passing round the cocktails
"What about you Emilie ? You gonna go ?"
"Hey if she does then I will !" Mary's finger pointing to her chest as she shouts over the music
"Hold my purse" pressing my clutch into Mary's stomach
"No .. way .." their eyes connect as I take center stage
"This one is for you ladies" my hands wrapping around the pole as the music begins to play. My body wraps and circles the pole as my legs glide up and down the length. Feeling the music I allow my eyes to close as my body moves with the music drowning out the audience and when the music is done I Come back to focus. Nico standing at the bottom where I meet him, interlocking my fingers behind his neck as he scoops me up taking me to the girls table.
"Woah Emilie .. you keep working it like that your gonna be earning some real cash, probably put me out of a job !" Laughing Nico kisses the top of my head
"Be gone with you ! No boys allowed !" I try to shove his broad shoulders away
"Good thing I'm what they class as a man" my eyes roll to his amused expression while the girls laugh
"Don't encourage him !" Glaring to them as we kiss briefly and Nico leaves
"Alright ! Ladies share the deets about your men, satisfied ? " wriggling my brows to them
"Your filth you know !" Hanna giggled
"Well I'm satisfied .." Mary begins to quickly sip at her straw
"My my .. Mary has a naughty side .
"
"Behave will you ! I've got needs .." a blush shading her cheeks as we laugh
"How about you Hanna?" Who shrugs
"Going well ... don't know if it's permanent.. men like him tend not to stay with women like me .."
"Don't put yourself down Hanna your beautiful" my hand cups her cheek as she nods "now .. let's drink !!
***************
Light begins to burn my lids as I reach for Nico only finding empty bedding
"Rise and shine Amore, plans aren't made lounging in bed" I moan
"No but a bit of fun can be of you climb back in ..." my squinting eyes gleam to his rather amused expression
"Maybe next time Amore when you don't stink of cocktails and hookers" his lips press to my forehead as he leaves to room while I groan and then fly to the bathroom to hurl.
Showered and wandering the halls I find myself feeling dizzy and pale.
"Hey Em.. you don't look well, here why don't we get you sat down" Mary guides me to the sofa where theres an already lit fire, a blanket across my knee.
"Thanks Mary, you got any .. crackers like them salty ones ? I feel they will work a treat !"
"Sure Em I'll be right back" after eating half a packet and then some soup I wake to Nico stroking my cheek
"You okay Amore ?" I nod sleepily on his palm "Let's get you to bed" taking his hand I let him lead the way and snuggle down for the night.
The next couple of weeks flash by in a blur but I find myself often being sick randomly through out the day and fatigued by it all.
"Let me get you the doctor Amore your not well"
"I'm fine!" I shoot back, my hand raised as my head remains buried in the toilet
"I'm getting Mary"
"Then get Mary!" Resting my head to my forearm on the toilet lid.
"Hey Em"
"Hey Mary" a warm flannel mops my brow "can I have some crackers again please and some lemon water ?"
"Sure you want any tea ?" I shake my head now with a frown
"Since you changed the tea bags I can't take to it" her brows furrow in return
"I haven't changed the bags ..." shrugging my shoulders I get to my feet
That night Nico and I make love twice and I wake from a blissful sleep with a stretch.
Leaving the sheets I run to the bathroom for a shower.
"Shit, no soap" going to the cabinet I search for soap noticing my pads. Frowning I try to remember the last time I had one and the shear shock makes me drop the bottle.
"Oh shit oh shit ! MARY !!" Mary comes running in to the room where I pace around bare footed
"What ?! What is it ?!? Are you okay??" Terror fills her eyes as she does a quick check of me from head to toe
"I need you to help me" my hands cupping my stomach as my fingers rub gently along the fabric, not sure what to say or do
"We need to go out"
"Where ?" Confusion now present on her features
"The shops, there's something I need to see"
"Okay" she nods "I'll tell Antonio to tell Ni.."
"NO !" My palm outstretched now wrapping around her arm "I want to be sure first" nodding we head to the garage and once we are outside the shop I tell Mary what I need
"You want me to get you a What?!" Her expression one of shock
"Please you know I can't risk it right now" huffing she leaves and soon returns passing me the brown bag.
Back home I find myself pacing wondering if I should or not when I got for it and two minutes later I know the results. Heart beating
"Amore" knocking on the door "you coming to bed ?" My eyes look to the test then to the door and I bin the results
"Sure I'll be in, in a min !" Taking a few deep breaths I leave and sleep the night in his arms.
