Backstage

Chapter 11

Another week on everything had began to settle down a bit, and Esme had brought Dan round once or twice, well actually she insisted they were working on there film project but I wasnt so sure, plus they seemed cute togther so I hoped things worked out between them. On the other hand I was hoping Belle would see someone she had beeen really down recently and she deserved someone to fall back on when things got hard, and what Ashley did was horrid.

I hadnt got much planned today, other than a lie in which I hadnt had in ages, then I would go up to the yard to see Suzie, however I wanted to let her have a day of so I wouldnt be much longer than an hour, and everyone else was out, so that left me with nothing to do. I mean I love having days to stay in pjamas and lounge about, but I had to much energy.

Oh well I got to the yard for 11 and gave her a bath, before turning her out and sitting on the grass with Eddie who had just ridden, and we cleaned our tack. After finishing I asked if he was around the afternoon for lunch, and he also had no plans so we agreed to meet at 4 just by the bridge.

The meal was delicious and he trested me to my favourite cookie dough desert, before we walked hand in hand alongside the river. I didnt think the others would mind if he came over for a abit so we went back to the flat, to find no one there still, well I didnt think there was until I saw Belle round the corner.

"you had a good day" i asked, hoping it had been a good shopping trip with the boys.

"yeah, I found more than I had thought I would" she said, and she seemed the happiest she had been since that night.

"sorry Eddies hear do you mind, I didnt think you would be back" I said.

"No problem, do you want anything to drink" belle offered.

"yeah that would be great thanks, ahh so your belle, last time I was here I thought you were Esme and the other lady was Belle" Eddie said confused.

"your about as blonde as she is except your hair isnt blonde" Belle said laughing.

We all sat watching whatever was on the TV as I lay up against Eddie, taking up half of the large sofa, whilst Belle text Esem asking when she would be back, so we could order takeaway. I decided to leave Belle and Eddie chatting whilst I went to change into some comfy clothes, and when I came back they were in stitches looking therough my photo album. Some of those photos were incredibly embarassing, and I dread to think what they found so highly amusing, but oh well it had Belle laughing, and after seeing her got through so much lately it was good to see her laugh, even if it wasnt laiughing half as much as we used to.

Esme soon arrived with Dan and we decided on a chinese which I order, but dont think they will let me do that again, the poor guy on the end of the phone was so confused, and I just ended up laughing and dropped him on the floor, but thankfully Esme manged to explain to the man what we actually wanted not a stripper, which was they had originally thought.

It was nice to all be tother again and Esme and Dan were really cute, they still denied being in a relationship, and they were still on film duty, whatever that means. "what do you think of Dan" I asked while we washed up.

"hes great I just love having him as company, he never fails to make me laugh, but were just good friends thinking about it Belle should have invited James and Luke round as well" Esme said, smiling at her new found friend.

"yeah that would have been good for her, we will have to organise something else soon. If Dan staying over?" I aksed inquisitively.

"He might be i havent actaually asked?'

"oh shall I arange the spare room" i added giggling, giving her a nudge.

"oh hahah very funny, well if it wasnt for me you would have a stripper in bed as thats what you were trying to order" she aid amused by her joke.

"hahah that could have been interesting, I swear I shouldnt be trusted to do anytthing" I siad as we sat back down on the sofa.

We watched 2 films on sky before I went to bed offering Eddie to stay, he accepted his offer and wentt to have a quick shower. Belle was soon to follow, and I was asleep in Eddies arms by the time Esme went to bed, but i never found out what happened to Dan!
