Hanging By A Moment (Sequel to Funhouse)

Chapter 24

<<Cheryl - Morning Beautiful, Can I see you today? xx >>

I quickly typed out the text and hit send, It was 11am on New years day. Last night had been amazing, I'd been awake most of the night just replaying it in my head. Kimberley had left the club just after 2am with him, But before she left she kissed me passionately and told me she'd call me today.

I knew it was still early but I had a bad feeling, Last night was just to good to be true.

My phone buzzed in my hand immediately

<<Sarah - Morning little Miss Slut. I want my desk scrubbed before I have to see it again, Been having nightmares about you 2 all night, But seriously babe over the fricken moon for you xx >>

<<Cheryl - Thanks babe, It was amazing but I still don't know what's going on in her head, I'll nip into the bar later and cash up, Maybe give your desk a clean lol xx >>

<<Sarah - Just be patient with her babe and put plenty of elbow grease into it x >>

<<Cheryl - I will, Thanks Sarah xx >>

I decided to go get myself ready while I waited for Kimberley's reply.

I was shocked when I looked in the mirror at myself, My neck was red & raw in numerous places. Nobody had ever marked me the way Kimberley had last night, It felt like she was marking her turf, And that thought brought a smile to my face.

I heard my phone buzz on the night stand, I half ran half skipped to reach it hoping to see a reply from Kimberley, It was.

<<Kimberley - Hey, Give me a hour or so. Where? x >>

<<Cheryl - I told Sarah I'd stop by the club, so there? xx >>

<<Kimberley - Ok, See you later x >>

I arrived at the club just after 12.30 dressed casual in jeans and a loose jumper. I kept the scarf Kimberley had given me wrapped around my neck for two reasons, One it was chilly in the empty club and secondarily my neck looked like a teenagers experiment.

The bar looked like a bomb site. Empty bottles & glasses where everywhere and the floor was lined with streamers & party poppers.

I busied myself collecting the empty glass bottles from the bar and sides placing them in recycle bin in the alley way.

Knowing Kimberley would be turning up at anytime I decided to go through to the office and give that area a clean.

I couldn't help but grin when I saw the state of the office, various documents and stationary covering the floor that was once in the right place and order on the desk.

I don't think I'd ever look at that desk in the same light again.

I collected the papers from the floor and pilled them up on the desk and picked up Sarah's Stationary placing the pens and other bits in the holder that had been knocked over the previous night.

"Hey" I jumped out of my skin as I heard her voice behind me.

"Jesus, Kim you scared us to death" I said clutching my heart as I felt my blood pumping in my ears.

"Sorry" She muttered looking at the floor

"Hey, Its ok . . No big deal" I said walking across the room to her "I missed you gorgeous" I told her as I wrapped my arms around her.

"Don't Cheryl" I was just about to place a kiss on her lips when she abruptly pushed me away

"What" I was gob smacked, I just looked at her in disbelief as she continued to stare down at the carpet.
