"JEN!" 

Ginny came back this morning and imminently texted me she wanted to meet up to share story's of her honeymoon. It's a Friday morning and I'm working after Imogen said she needed time after a death in the family. She hasn't told me much but when it comes to her family she's a very private person, which I can respect. 

Ginny flies in, her blond hair going everywhere and jumps into me, caging me in a hug.

"Hey!" She pulls back to look me in the eye and gives me a wide smile. 

"Gosh, It is so good to see your face!" she says. My eyes catch Charles as he walks in behind her slowly. I hear I sigh. 

"Amour, you have seen her face almost every night for the past 3 weeks." Charles buts in.

"Yes Charles, but not in real life." she doesn't give him a glance and still looks at me, her eyes sparkling. She rolls her eyes. "Ugh, men." I choke out a laugh and look over her shoulder to say hello to Charles.

"Charles." I nod towards him 

"Jennifer." He nods back. "Mon amour, je vais prendre quelque chose et je reviens, d'accord ?" [My love, I'm going to grab something then I will be back, okay?] he walks closer to her and places a hand on her waist line.

"D'accord" her face turns up to his and avert my gaze for a second. "S'amuser!" [have fun!] she says quickly to his back as he strolls out of the cafe. She pivots back to me.

"Oh my lord, I have so much to talk to you about!" I walk back to behind the counter as she starts her adventure. 

She talks about everything really. The clothes, food, people, fans, beach and the house they stayed at. She explains it was the best time ever and she couldn't of had more fun.

"And the sex. OMG, he has-" 

I quickly place my hands over my ears and look down. "No Ginny, TMI." 

"Okay, okay. I won't talk about that." She takes hold of my hands preys them away from my ears. 

"Thank you, so-"

My head turns to the sounds of the bell ringing above the door way. He strides in, sweat across his forehead and wet loose curls forming around his cap. He's wearing a blue running set and EarPods in his ears, looking intently down at something on his phone. When he looks up from his phone and sees Ginny a small smile forms on his lips.

"Ginny." he starts to walk towards her.

"Lando." she replies to him in the same tone. I see a smile grace Ginny's lips quickly. "How are you?" 

He shrugs and stops in from of her. "Could be better, You?" 

"Not too bad, just got back from the honeymoon." 

"Sounds good. Coffee, black, to go." He says sparing a glance in my direction.  

I look up at him from fidgeting with my fingers. "The regular?" 

"Yes." his gaze turns back to Ginny. "Charles ready for the season? McLaren is looking good again." In my peripheral vision I can see him smirking at his own comment. 

"If you wait a bit you can talk to him about it." she responds, turning back to face me. "Jen, where's Imogen?" 

"Umm, a death in the family." I can see her eyes droop down. Ginny always liked Imogen, they would talk about the Formula one season, when I didn't talk to Ginny about it. To be honest I find it boring. 

I mean it's fast cars going in circles, driven by men and teams owned by white old men. 

"Oh no, send her my condolences."
