When she woke up it was due to how bare she suddenly felt in the bed. She used one of her arms to hug herself then reached out for Michael. What she found instead was something rough moving down with the weight of her fingers and she jolted back her hand.

A torn piece of paper barely folded laid half open on the bed and she reached towards it and opened it.

'Text me xx'

She smiled tiredly at the note but jolted upwards again at the sound of her phone ringing. "Hello" she answered in a annoyance pulling the duvets over her partially bare chest as she rubbed her eyes with her other hand. "Hey Marsha. It's- " "Ross"she finished for him closing her heavy eyelids and he chuckled.

"Yeah. Still up for today?" He asked and she furrowed her eyebrows although she was only half conscious. "Today?"she croaked out distantly and he said awkwardly "Yeah. That one pm boat ride we were all going on?". At this she opened her eyes too look at the time on her phone. At first the numbers blurred in font of her and then she was able to make out the numerals.

12:49

"Shit!"she yelled under her breath so that Ross couldn't hear as she swung her legs off of the bed and moved quickly to the bathroom. "You didn't forget did you?" he asks and she ran a hand through her hair as she let out a nervous chuckle and lied "Of Course I didn't. What do you think of me? I'm just putting on my make up".

Obviously noticing her lie he sighed and mumbled "I'll call in and tell them that they'll have to set back our appointment a few minutes off".  "Okay. I'll move as fast as I can"she mumbled hanging up then she cursed another swear as she jumped into the shower.

Curse her forgetful mind.

"So. How's things recently?" Bethany asked smiling at Marsha as she turned in the back of the car to look at her friend. "Define 'things'" Marsha said jokingly as she adjusted her charm necklace on her neck. "Life under the public eye? Michael?....Fucking Michael?" Bethany asked bluntly causing Marsha to roll her eyes.

"Of course you'd ask those questions. First of all, the public eye is the eye of the devil casting dirt dragons on everyone and burning them like charred marshmallows." Marsha said and Ross laughed loudly from behind the steering wheel. "That's very deep"he said and Bethany added playfully " and considering your head is so shallow, I didn't expect this much depth".

"Look. I apologized didn't I?I just happened to be very distracted lately" I said through a groan and Bethany giggled. "Which brings me to my earlier question. How's Michael and your sex life with him?" Bethany asked again and Marsha sighed deeply wow a bit flustered. "Michael is okay. He's good. Nothing to complain about-"

"yet"Ross said cutting her and she chuckled as she added "Yet. And the sex? Wellll...". "Oh come on. Answer. You didn't perk up my ears for nothing" Ross said and she glared at him playfully. "We've never really-" "Bullshit" both of them called out silencing her and she began to laugh hysterically.

"Fine. We have. But there's nothing to comment on" she said through bursts of laughter and Bethany gave her an 'oh really' look. "What is it likeeeee?" Bethany asked impatiently and Marsha's laughter died down to chuckles.

"What do you mean what is it like? It's the same thing as what you and Ross do! He pokes the piñata with the sausage roll. There's nothing else to it" Marsha explained and by this her best-friends were both practically dying with laughter. "But did you eat it?" Ross asked and a look of disgust took over her face as she shoved his shoulder.

"That's disgusting-" "Answer us piñata!" Bethany said over her outbursts and Marsha yelled over their laughter "This argument is prohibited until further notice".

It was going to be a hell of a day.
