Tales Of Secret Conversations And Impending Doom

James tells me his sleepover with GG and Taylor, my boyfriend’s brother, was completely innocent.

But she’s never been the super adventurous type. It wasn’t until after her divorce that she even stepped foot into a sex store.

I stopped by the local milk bar at the end of the street and picked up ice cream and Ice Magic. I’m obsessed with the chocolate sauce that hardens on the cold dessert. 

And after dancing and singing for most of Saturday night, my throat ached for something to soothe it.

When James arrived at work this morning, he found the empty container on the kitchen bench. 

“You didn’t leave any for me?”, he said, throwing the empty container in the recycling bin. 

“I didn’t think I had to,” I replied. “And I’m not into you analysing what goes into my mouth.”
