L Is For Lust

Part 10 - Final Preparations

Wednesday had finally arrived. I managed to perform a miracle, and that was Paul letting me leave work early so I'd be able to get home for the delivery I was expecting. Today was the day my new mattress arrived. Ever since Sunday I'd been sleeping on a flimsy air mattress. I didn't trust the sofa bed, I even took my sofa cushions and throws to the dry cleaners to be dry cleaned, naturally of course Izzy thought I was over reacting. I didn't know what happened last weekend? Izzy, Rose and Lucy were still denying that anything happened. I'd find out eventually.

It was 1 when I went on my lunch break, Paul said I could take the rest of the day off so I could get home. I may have lied abit, I may have mentioned to Paul that I was expecting the delivery at 2:30, but I ment half 4 instead. Oh well! I guess that means more time for shopping?!?

On the way home I took a de-tour and ended up at Westfeilds shopping centre. Whilst I was there, I picked up some new Pillows, and a Duvet from House of Fraser and bought some new bed linen and candles from Zara Home. God, I loved shopping. Even if it was for new bed sheets! I grabbed a light lunch and headed back to the flat to get ready for when Joe arrived. By the time I'd got back to the flat it was at least quarter past four. I rummaged through the bags and got out my new purchases out to admire. All of a sudden there was a buzz from downstairs, I let whoever it was up to the flat. 5 minutes or so and there was a knock at the front door. I opened the door and it was the delivery men with my brand new king size mattress.

"This the mattress to be taken away?" One of the delivery men asked.

"Yeah, be careful with it though...I don't know where it's been!" I said sounding a bit like an idiot. Both men gave me a weird look.

"...Its complicated." I said hoping that they would sympathise with me. They both began to laugh.

"We're all young once, we all learn from our mistakes" said one of the men trying to make me feel better. As the men left, they took the old, manky mattress with them which left me with my new mattress that I couldn't wait to jump on! I ran up to the bed and leaped onto it, it was the most comfortable thing my body has ever laid on, it was bliss. I wanted to stay there all day, but I had to get things sorted out before Joe got here tonight. I put my new, crisp linen bed sheets onto my new mattress as well as on the new duvet and pillows. Once I had made I bed, I took a step back and looked at my newly made up bed. Something didn't look right. I knew exactly what I was missing. I went over to my wardrobe and grabbed my fake fur throw and threw it over the bottom third of the bed. It looked perfect. I looked at the time and before I knew It, it was 5pm as I sat down and put on the TV in the front room just as Izzy walked through the front door.

"Aren't you ready yet?" Izzy asked confused.

"Oh not even a hello then?" I said with my eyes firmly fixed on the TV.

"You'll get a hello after you go and get ready" she said sternly.

"Ready for what?" I questioned.

"Gym? We were supposed to go gym tonight Zar!" She said pouring herself a juice.

"Oh shit I forgot!" I said

"It's fine just go and hurry up and get ready!" She said like she was telling me off.

"...only if you make me one promise" I asked cheekily

"What's that then?" She asked knowing she was going to regret it.

"Take me to sainsbury's after the gym so I can pick up a few bits, I'll buy you a bottle of wine?" I said with a fake massive smile across my face.

"Fine!" She said finally giving in as I went to go and get ready.

Simultaneously, side by side, me and Izzy were on the tread mill walking at a fast pace. What did you expect? We actually did real exercise!?! We were just talking about random until I was messaged from Joe.

"Go ahead and answer it then!" Izzy said before I could even pick up my phone.

"Izzy you don't need to look away you know? It's a message not a phone call..." I said in almost disbelief.

"Just tell me what the message says!" She said demandingly.

"Fine then!" I said in the same tone. "The message says...can't wait to see you tonight....Erm....what's happening after the match?" I said in a trying not to sound to enthusiastic.

"What as with all the pauses?" Izzy questioned.

"Let's just say it was too explicit to read out in the gym, okay? I said with an embarrassed look on my face. Izzy just gave me a sinister look as I replied to the text.

"Suppose we'd better go get showered up if we have to go sainsbury's. ughh, couldn't you of done that yesterday?" She said questioning me.

"Well if I went yesterday, you would of eaten everything by now!" I said while giving that 'you know I'm right' look. She agreed with me. I mean who wouldnt? It's me; Im always right. 

"Are you going to be a cockblock or are you going to text him back Zar?" Izzy spoke bringing me back down to reality. 

"Oh Shit. Yeah. Izz? You know you love me? Can i borrow your car tonight? You know i wouldnt ask if you knew i wasnt desperate" I practically begged. 

"You must be taking the piss? First you forget about our little gym date. Secondly you're MAKING me take you to sainsbury's, just so you can buy condoms. And now you want to borrow my baby!?!" She stated making her points valid. I gave her a sad puppy-dog look. 

"No. You bitch. No. Not that look. That look's not gonna work this time" she stated as she looked away.

"But Pleaseeeeeeeee!" I begged. 

"Fine. But you owe me big time and i know exactly how." she said with a smirk smeared across her face. "I will let you borrow my car...IF you forgive me about what happened in your room last weekend when you were away"

"So you admit it? Something did happen in my room when I was away! I knew it" I said too loudly. 

"Well no. But if something did happen you'd forgive and forget about it anyway." she said slyly. 

"Fine. Can we shower now?" I said hesitantly.

We got back to the flat after Izzy made me carry all the shopping bags up from the car. 

"So did you buy me anything nice then Zar?" Izzy said making herself comfortable on the sofa.

"Izzy. It's Sainsbury's not Ann Summers. I Highly doubt it." I said sarcastically waving two bottles of wine about as I pulled them out of the orange plastic bag. 

"Tonight is going to be very interesting.."She winked at me as she picked the romote control off the coffee table and smirked to herself.
