Tragic Smile

Wild Fights (2)

Chapter Two

Present day

I woke to the sound of moaning, "oh Richard. That feels so good." I heard my roommate Beth's voice and I groaned. Not again.

I rolled over and pressed a button on my phone so it would light up. 7:06AM.

Luckily for her, my alarm is due to go off in four minutes anyway so I wasn't that bothered. Still, waking up to the sound of you flat mate and your boss getting it on isn't how I planned my Friday morning.

I sat up and reached up, letting out an almighty stretch. At least it's almost the weekend. I stood and grabbed my dressing gown from the hook and put it on over my oversized shirt and my 'sexiest' pair of granny pants.

"Richard! Don't stop! Don't stop!" Beth screamed out.

I needed coffee. A very big coffee.

I walked from my room and along the hallway, taking the first left for the kitchen. I set up my cup with some instant coffee and flipped the kettle on. I glanced out the window and saw Richard's Range Rover parked at the bottom of the stairs to our flat.

I wonder what he has told his wife this time.

Whilst waiting for the kettle to boil, I thought I would go shoot some life in to the living room by opening the curtains and turning the TV on.

Much to my surprise, when I walked in that Beth and Richard are on my sofa. On my sofa! "Oh my goodness!" I instantly reacted by holding my hands up to my eyes. Yep, I could of walked out as if nothing happened but no. Silly me had to make it obvious.

"Jesus, Olivia!" Richard moved from on top of Beth and covered himself with a cushion. My cushion. I couldn't wait to bin that later.

"Oh fuck. Is it that time already?" Beth jumped up. Completely naked.

"Ehm, it's like ten past se-"I stopped and shook my head. "Why are you having sex on the sofa? Don't you have a perfectly good bed for that?" I asked whilst fastening the belt around my dressing gown.

I already take enough abuse from Beth about my granny pants. Never mind bossy Richard. Beth walked over to the window. Again, still completely naked. "Yeah things just got out of hand last night when we got home from work and just crashed here instead." Beth picked up her phone from the table by the window.

"You came home from work together last night?" I asked confused. Beth's job was no different to mine. We write, we make calls, we print, we staple and we put in envelopes. There isn't really much we can get caught up with.

"Yeah we sure did." Beth smirked and looked at Richard.

He reached over, still using my precious cushion and grabbed his trousers. " I can't think of a better way to start your birthday." He winked at Beth.

I rolled my eyes, "I need coffee and a shower." I muttered and turned and walked back to the kitchen.

The two of them have been sleeping together for the past two months but Beth is what I would call 'very open.' Richard isn't the only person she is sleeping with but I suppose we could say the same about Richard and his beloved marriage.

I sat my cup of coffee on my dressing room table and walked to the bathroom. I switched the shower on and began brushing my teeth getting ready for the day ahead.

"Are you ready to go? I want to grab a Starbucks before our shift?" Beth burst in to my room as I pulled on my black high heels.

I looked at her, "yeah just come an zip me up." I told her. She walked to me and I stood up straight and she zipped the back of my dress up. "Oh, happy birthday. I'm going to go pick your present up during lunch today." I told her.
