-----------------


It was 5pm. Bill had been looking up at the clock every minute for the past hour but finally it was 5pm. It was time to make the call. He had waited all day, just in case things changed but they hadn’t; this call had to be made.

“Hey, Janine, I’m just going outside to phone Meagan quickly, I won’t be long,” he said, walking over to where his boss stood behind the counter.

“Ok Bill,” she replied, barely looking up from the gossip magazine she’d been thumbing through.

He stepped outside and sighed as a cool breeze ruffled his hair. It was a perfect evening to spend with a loved one; well he would be with the one he loved eventually.

He pulled his phone out and flipped it open, dialing the ever familiar number. It rung twice before an awfully chipper voice answered the phone.

“Hey baby!” the voice squealed.

“Hi, Meagan,” Bill replied quietly.

“What’s up?” she asked. He could hear some noises in the background and figured she was making dinner.

“Megs, I have something to tell you,” he sighed. “I’m afraid I have to work late tonight. We’ve had a double booking and Janine wants me to stay late, she says it’s an important client who requested me specifically to do her hair; she won’t let anyone else touch her precious do.”

“Aww, but I was making your favourite! Königsberger Klopse!” she exclaimed loudly. “Can’t you tell her you have to be home, I’ve been slaving away all day!”

“I’m sorry but I can’t,” Bill sighed. “This might be just what I need to be promoted.”

“I know, it’s just, I feel like I never get to see you anymore,” she whined. “I miss you is all.”

“I know hun, I miss you too,” he replied, he felt a stab of guilt rush through his body as the words left his mouth.

“Ok well I suppose I better go and let you get back to work, I’ll leave the Klopse in the microwave ok, you can heat them up when you get in,” Meagan said sadly. “I love you Bill!”

“Me too,” he replied, before hanging up and putting his phone in his pocket. He hated doing this to her but he had to, it was what he wanted after all.

He walked back into the salon and looked over at his work station to ensure it was pristine and clean.

“You heading off then, Bill?” Janine asked as she saw him scrutinizing the space.

“Yeah if you don’t need me,” he said hopefully.

“Nope, Rachel can handle Mrs. Kraus, you go home and see Meagan, don‘t want an angry wife on your heels,” Janine said, smiling at him. “I’ll see you tomorrow morning.”

Bill gathered his bag and his jacket. “Yeah, see you tomorrow.”

He left the salon and went over to his car. He climbed in and started the engine, smiling as the radio started; a familiar song was playing; it was their song, the one that had been playing when they first met; when he first met her, the real love of his life. The song sent his heart fluttering and he eagerly pulled out of his space, wanting to see her as soon as possible.

He raced down the streets which were rather empty for 5pm on a Thursday; not that he was complaining, it meant he’d see her sooner!

He pulled up outside a familiar block of flats in the centre of town. Now his heart was beating faster; he was so close to her. It always amazed him how, after a year of being with her, his heart still fluttered when he thought of her. Oh how he loved her so!

He raced up to the door and let himself in, anxiously pressing the buttons on the lift once he was inside. It finally came and he dashed inside, pressing the ‘8’ button which seemed to gleam brighter in his mind, ‘8’ meant her, it meant he would be seeing her!

The lift stopped with a ‘ping’ and the doors slid open. He exited and took a right, hurrying down the hallway to the right door. He had a key so he could’ve let himself in but he decided to knock on the door instead, give her an even bigger surprise.

“Hang on, I’m coming!” a soft, melodious voice called out, causing his heart to beat even faster.

The door flung open revealing a dark haired girl with a brilliant smile plastered across her face.

“Bill!” she exclaimed, flinging her arms around his neck and pulling him in for a hug. “What are you doing here, I wasn’t expecting to see you so soon!”

“What can I say, I just couldn’t stay away from you, Scarlet.”

AHHHHH OMG OMG OMG OMG *faints* omg that was sooooo ............ tempting

------------

Scarlet pulled Bill into her home, shutting the door quickly behind him. He placed his hands upon her waist and spun her around before pulling her close to him in a tight embrace. He inhaled deeply, her scent overpowering him, giving him a feeling of finally being home. His left hand tangled within her ebony hair whilst his right hand tipped her chin up gently, allowing him to press a hot, steamy kiss against her lips. She responded eagerly, deepening the kiss, sending Bill’s mind into overdrive. Even after a year of kissing her, her kisses were still deadly to him.

Finally they parted, both panting slightly, looking deep into each other’s eyes.

“Come into the kitchen,” Scarlet said, pulling him by the hand into the brightly lit room. Immediately the scent of something sweet and heavenly hit him. “I was making some dinner, I think I have enough for two, I really wasn’t expecting you this evening.”

“I know, but I couldn’t spend another week not seeing you!” Bill exclaimed. “It’s not enough for me you know, once a week.”

Scarlet sighed as she stirred a pot of something bubbling on the stove. “I know, Bill, but this is the best way to do things…the easiest way.”

“I know,” Bill replied, sidling up behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist, nibbling on her ear delicately. She giggled and leant back into his touch, feeling his body pressing up against hers. “Do you know how beautiful you are right now?”

“You have to be kidding me!” she exclaimed, grinning brilliantly. “I look a mess. I’ve been so busy today so my clothes are all ratty, I have no make up on, my hair’s a mess! You have to warn me next time you’re coming over so I can make myself look normal!”

“You could be wearing nothing and you’d still be beautiful to me,” he whispered in reply, holding her close to him.

“Oh I’m sure you’d like that,” she grinned in response.

“You know I would,” he responded. She finished stirring the pot of sauce in front of her and turned round, planting a chaste kiss upon his lips. “So what have you been up to today?”

“Running loads of errands!” she exclaimed, sitting down at the table upon which her laptop sat. “I had to go see my editor and confirm the cover to my new book, then I had to meet my account, the sales for my last book needed reviewing and in between that I had to try and find some spare pieces of paper so I could write down the new idea I had.”

“When’s the new book hitting the market?” Bill asked, occupying the seat beside her.

“We’re launching it across Europe in a month then we’ll try and release it in America the month after, depending upon European sales,” Scarlet said. “I have the release party in three weeks.”

“I wish I could be there for that,” Bill sighed.

“Why don’t you come then?” Scarlet queried. “It’s my release party after all, I can get you on the V.I.P. list…I could get you in to meet the author you know.”

“Oh really,” Bill responded, playing along with the joke. “You know, ever since I read her first book, I’ve had the hugest crush on her…I think I might be in love.”

“Well I happen to know,” Scarlet leant forward, whispering dramatically. “She’s in love with you too.”

The two giggled together before Bill sobered up. “You know I’d love to, Scarlet, but I can’t, the pictures would be in the paper next day and Meagan might see them.”

Scarlet pouted adorably. “I know but couldn’t you tell her you were coming to see a friend?”

“Then she’d ask me to take her along,” Bill replied dejectedly. “I’d have no way of getting out of bringing her.”

“Bring her then,” Scarlet suddenly exclaimed. “I know, if you bring her we can’t act like we’re together at all, but at least if you bring her you’ll be there; supporting me. And you‘ve brought her to events when I was there before.”

“Uh…” Bill responded hesitantly. “Ok, I guess it couldn’t hurt. Can you get me the tickets?”

“Sure, I’ll give them to you next time you come over,” Scarlet replied. She leaped out of her seat quickly, moving over to the stove where what she was cooking was bubbling pleasantly. She stirred the liquid once more before gathering two plates and dishing up the meal. She was right, she had just enough for two small portions; good job she still had some ice cream and strawberries lingering in the fridge from his last visit.

She placed the plate in front of Bill who’s mouth watered at the sight of the delicious food before him. He had never met anyone who cooked like Scarlet could and within moments he was attacking the steaming dish of homemade meatballs and linguini. She smiled as he ate before delicately eating her own plate of food.

“So, how did you manage to free up your schedule in order to come see me?” Scarlet asked.

“I told Meagan I was working late,” Bill responded.

“again? Did she buy it?” Scarlet pressed.

“Yeah, she sounded hurt but she bought it,” Bill said. “She had been busy making Klopse for me so she made me feel guilty about not coming home because of that.”

“You shouldn’t have done that you know,” Scarlet said quietly. “We could’ve gone a week without seeing each other.”

“No I couldn’t. I can’t go a day without seeing you, Scarlet!” Bill exclaimed. “Even an hour without you is too much and I’d do anything to be with you. I’d leave her to be with you, and I want to!”

“Bill, I know you want to leave her, but you can’t,” Scarlet reasoned. “You married her, you have to honor those vows. You promised to be with her, you have to stay with her.”

“I don’t want to, I want to be with you,” Bill replied. “You and only you.”

“I want to be with you too,” Scarlet said. “But I can’t see you hurting her because of me. This way we have things sorted out. She’s happy, you’re happy, I’m happy.”

“Are you really, Scarlet? Are you happy?” he asked.

She averted her gaze. “Yes, I am.”

“Bullshit,” Bill responded. “You want to be with me as much as I want to be with you.”

“You’re right, I do, but I don’t want to be responsible for yours and Meagan’s marriage to end,” Scarlet sighed. “If it ends for some other reason then I will accept it but I will not be the reason it ends, I won’t be known as a whore and a home-wrecker, Bill so please just, don’t leave her for me. If not for her, then stay with her for me.”

“You have some twisted logic there,” Bill responded. “But ok, if that’s what you want me to do, then I’ll stay.”

They continued to eat in silence as the two pondered their relationship. They’d actually met at one of Scarlet’s book release parties a year ago. Bill had come with his twin brother, Tom, who just so happened to be dating her editor. The moment she met Bill, Scarlet had fallen in love and it was such a harsh blow to find out that he was married. She’d spent most of the night trying to avoid him but at one point the found her skulking outside, sipping some champagne. They’d started talking and before either knew it, it was 5a.m.

Later that week, Bill had called Scarlet, having sneakily gotten her number off her editor’s phone. They’d gone out for coffee; then lunch; then dinner and dancing. Before either knew it, they were sleeping together. But it wasn’t just sleeping together, they were dating and acting like a real couple. They soon realized it was more than just an affair, much more. The worst part was, Scarlet actually knew Meagan; they spoke a number of times and Meagan actually seemed to like her which made her feel even guiltier.

They’d tried to stop a number of times but in the end, they couldn’t stay away from one another, it hurt too much to be separated and it was something neither really wanted. They hated sneaking around, acting like what they were doing was dirty when, to the two of them, it was pure and perfect. They were each other’s dirty little secret but all they wanted to do was reveal to the world their secret.

One person did know, however. About six months back, Meagan had flown home to visit some family whilst Bill had stayed behind to manage the salon; it was the first time Janine let him manage it by himself. He’d invited Scarlet round to his large home to wine and dine her in luxury. Bill wanted her aura to surround his home, his life, his bed, so that even when he wasn’t with her, she still lingered on in essence. Things hadn’t gone according to plan.

Halfway through their escapade in the front room, Tom had walked in using the spare set of keys Bill had given him. He was just checking up on his brother, ensuring he was ok home alone but the sight he got was more than he ever asked for. Scarlet and Bill were in a rather obvious, compromising position and no denying would ever get them out of this.

Tom talked to them, he yelled at them, he demanded to know what the hell was going on. After an hour of his meltdown, he finally calmed down. He still didn’t really accept their relationship but he could see how happy Bill was with Scarlet; happier than he was with Meagan and all he wanted was for his brother to be happy.

Back in the present; dinner had ended and the two were curled up on Scarlet’s couch, talking and laughing quietly. It never mattered to them where they were, so long as they were together they were happy.

Soft touches soon led to soft kisses. Kisses and caresses soon led to more and an hour later, the two lay entwined upon the sofa, a blanket thrown across their bodies as they held onto one another, enjoying the other’s warmth.

“I love you,” Bill whispered, snuggling up close to Scarlet.

“love you too,” she mumbled, sleepily.

“Scarlet, I have to go now,” he said sadly.

“No,” Scarlet mumbled. “Don’t go, stay with me, please.”

“I can’t, Meagan will worry,” he replied, his voice hitching slightly. He always got emotional when it came time to leave. “I promise I’ll come back as soon as I can.”

Scarlet nodded and stood up, wrapping the blanket around her body tightly as Bill slowly got dressed. Glancing at the clock, she could see it was nearing 12a.m.. Meagan would never believe Bill had been at work all this time, surely.

Once dressed, Bill gathered his belongings and made his way over to the door, followed closely by Scarlet. She opened the door for him and he walked out into the dimly lit hallway.

“I love you,” he repeated, pulling her close and kissing her lips passionately. “I love you so much it hurts.”

“I love you too,” she responded, kissing him once more. Every fibre in her body screamed for her to drag him back into the house and never let him leave but she knew he had to go just as she knew he’d be back.

He turned and walked away, disappearing around the corner and out of sight once more.

--------------

When Bill had arrived home, Meagan had been fast asleep however he knew she was mad at him; the kitchen was spotless as was the rest of the house; she always cleaned when she was angry.

He woke up the next morning with a heavy heart. Descending the stairs, he waited for the argument which would soon ensue.

“Morning,” he muttered as he entered the kitchen, his eyes landing upon the familiar mop of blonde hair.

She tutted in response and sent a glare his way before turning her back on him, returning to the eggs she’d been preparing.

A while later, she heavily plopped a plate of eggs in front of Bill and sat beside him with her own breakfast. “Where were you last night?”

“I told you, I was working late,” he responded, pushing his breakfast around the plate; he wasn’t really hungry.

“You weren’t working till almost 1a.m., I know for a fact Janine always closes at 9, no matter who calls for an appointment. So where were you?” She demanded, glaring at him.

“I went out for a drink with a friend who came by the salon as I was finishing up,” he lied smoothly; he’d become extremely good at lying ever since he’d started this thing with Scarlet.

“Who?” she demanded.

“Do you remember Scarlet, she wrote that book and we went to a few of her parties; Tom’s dating her editor?” Bill said. He would never lie and make up a fake friend for him to have been with. He was always honest about who he was with if he was caught out, he just skimmed over the details about what they were doing.

“Yeah, I remember her, Scarlet the harlot,” Meagan huffed.

“She’s not a harlot,” Bill said through gritted teeth, trying to control his anger. Meagan always did this, insulting everyone he was friends with and it pissed him off to no end.

“Whatever,” she huffed. “So you decided to go out with her instead of coming home to me, your wife!?”

“Megs, relax,” Bill sighed. “She just wanted to catch up with me, see what was new with us. She came by the salon to give me tickets for us to go to a party she’s throwing for the release of her new book. When Janine said I could go, Scarlet said we should go for a drink and chat; I couldn’t say no!”

“Yes you could’ve!” Meagan exclaimed. “It’s two little letters! It’s not that hard to say it! But no, you went off with that Scarlet instead of coming home to me.”

“What’s the big deal?” Bill replied. “I was out with a friend that’s all; it’s not like I was out committing mass murder or anything! We had a few drinks, a nice chat then I came home. I thought you liked Scarlet anyway.”

Meagan sniffed in disdain. “Not really, I was only polite to her because I’m such a nice person. She’s really fake.”

“What do you mean?” Bill asked.

“Well she just talks so fake. She loves all these things and it’s obvious she doesn’t,” Meagan scoffed, rolling her eyes.

“This is about that band you both like?” Bill guessed, holding in his need to say something. Meagan had spent three weeks whining to him about this.

“Of course! She goes around like she loves them and she‘s a real fan and all this,” Meagan rolled her eyes again. “She doesn‘t love them as much as I do.”

“Well, Meagan, you don‘t own them,” Bill said gently. “She‘s entitled to like them as well, and even if she doesn‘t like them as much as you apparently do, it‘s not as though that makes her a fake fan.”

“That‘s not the only reason I hate her,” Meagan added.

“Enlighten me,” Bill sighed.

“She’s so full of herself! Just because she wrote a few books she thinks she’s amazing. I’ve read one of her books, it was really bad. I could’ve written something better!”

’Of course, that’s why she’s the best selling author and you’re pushing papers in an office,’ was what he wanted to say but instead he remained quite, letting her continue her rant.

“All she writes about are dirty things! Her books are full of sex and swearing and murder.” Her voice dropped a few octaves on the last few words, whispering them conspiratorially.

“So?” Bill shrugged. “She writes about things that happen in real life.”

“But it’s so explicit!” Meagan exclaimed. “She’s obviously not listened to the word of God.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Well, I don’t know if you know this but,” Meagan glanced around before continuing. “She’s renounced the ways of God.”

“What does that have to do with anything?” Bill asked. “I’m not into all this religion stuff either.”

“Yes but that’s different. You’re perfect, nothing could ever be wrong with you,” Meagan waved his comments away. “She, on the other hand, has completely renounced God. She doesn’t believe in Him at all. She smokes and drinks and she’s…bisexual. She‘s going to hell.”

“Meagan, I smoke and drink as well, and I don’t believe in God,” Bill said. “Does that make me bad as well? Am I going to hell?”

“No, Bill of course not,” Meagan scoffed. “Like I said, you’re perfect and nothing you do could ever be bad or wrong. She, on the other hand, is a harlot!”

“Meagan I’m so fed up of you going on and on about other peoples’ flaws,” Bill sighed. “If you don’t like her, that’s fine, but don’t act nice to her and then bitch about her behind her back. I happen to think she’s really nice and I like talking to her.”

“I don’t understand why,” Meagan shrugged. “She’s so stupid. I’m only nice to her because I’m such a nice and caring person.”

‘You’re such a hypocrite‘ Bill wanted to scream. ’I hate you and I’m in love with her!’ He held in his comments though, wanting to keep the peace. “Do you want to come with me to the party or not?”

“You’re going?” Meagan asked, appalled.

“Yes, I’m going to support her and I want to buy the book,” Bill said. “Plus it was nice of her to invite us, she didn’t have to so I’m going.”

“And what if I say no?” Meagan retorted.

“I’ll go on my own then,” Bill shrugged. “With or without you, I’m going.”

“Fine!” Meagan cried. “Fine I’ll come to that harlot’s party and watch as she throws herself at every man who passes, even married men such as you. I’ll make sure she doesn’t get her whorish claws in you!”

“Whatever,” Bill replied, shaking his head. “I’m going for a walk then I’m at work at three, I don’t know what time I’ll be back.”

“Fine,” Meagan replied, glaring at him before stomping up the stairs and into their bedroom, slamming the door behind her.

Bill rolled his eyes and stood up, dumping his plate in the sink before grabbing his bag off the table and walking out of the house. He’d call Scarlet when he was a bit further down the road, he needed to see her now more than ever.

-----------

It was amazing how quickly three weeks flew by when one was busy. It seemed as though Scarlet had only just gotten the deal on her fifth book and yet here she was, getting ready for the release party for said book!

The release party was being held in the grand hall of some fancy Berlin hotel, five stars of course! Scarlet was currently upstairs in one of the rooms she’d booked for the night applying the finishing touches to her look.

She’d decided to wear a simple, sleek black dress and shiny, PVC high heels. Her hair was smooth and sleek, shining brilliant blue black in the light whilst her eyes were rimmed in dark black, not too heavy just enough to define her eyes. She’d applied a generous coating of red lipstick to her lips which contrasted perfectly with her pale skin. She wasn’t expecting kisses from Bill tonight because Meagan would be here but she’d still used her non-transferable lipstick…just in case.

The final part of her outfit which really tied the whole thing together were her nails, which were painted black but with shocking, scarlet tips.

Happy with her appearance, she quickly squirted herself with a generous amount of Midnight Poison perfume before scurrying out of the room and down to the grand hall.

She stepped into the hall and smiled gleefully at the decorations. The room’s colour scheme was red and black and both colours stood out remarkably in the room. Each table was covered with sleek, black tablecloths upon which were red roman candles, their flames flickering seductively. In the centre of the room was a platform with a table full of hundreds of copies of her new book which were pre-signed; she would give a copy to each of her guests. She smiled as she looked over at the grand staircase down which the guests would descend; scattered upon each step were crimson and black rose petals standing out remarkably against the white marble stone floor.

Scarlet nervously glanced up at the clock above the stairs, 19:45; her guests would be arriving soon!

“Scarlet!” a familiar voice suddenly called out. Scarlet spun on her heel and smiled at the woman hurrying over to her.

“Hey Abi,” Scarlet replied, grinning at her editor. “Hi Tom!”

Tom smiled at her. He’d obviously turned up early with Abi. “hi Scarlet, congratulations on the book release.”

“Thanks, so glad you could come,” Scarlet replied. “You’ve been at the last two and they’ve all gone well, I’m starting to think you’re my lucky charm!”

“Or maybe Bill is,” Tom replied, winking at her. He seemed to be coming around to the idea of her dating Bill, even though Bill was married. And of course Abi knew and was fine about it; she wasn’t keen on Meagan anyway

“Hey, you better not be hitting on my boyfriend,” Abi mock scolded. “He’s mine, remember. You have Bill! Which reminds me, did you invite him?”

“Yes I did,” Scarlet replied, smiling. “But he’s bringing Meagan.”

Abi rolled her eyes and Tom snickered. “Well, she is his wife, he has to bring her along.”

“Doesn’t mean I have to be happy about it,” Scarlet pouted. “I’m not that fond of her, and not just because she’s currently married to Bill! She acts very I dunno, high and mighty towards me…sometimes I think she knows about us!”

“I don’t know why Bill doesn’t just leave her,” Tom sighed. “Everyone would be much happier.”

“Well I wouldn’t be,” Scarlet replied, grinning. “I’d be dead!”

“True,” Tom responded. “Either way, you’ll end up being stabbed by Meagan though, she’s vicious when she gets mad!”

“Oh yes, I forgot you were on the receiving end of her lashings ones,” Scarlet said, giggling.

“Yeah, for nothing,” Tom rolled his eyes. “she still hates me for going out and getting Bill drunk that night. Though she seems to love me when her friend’s around.”

“It’s because she thinks you’d be perfect with this friend of hers,” Abi and Scarlet replied in unison.

“Bill told me she’s planning on getting you two together, no matter what,” Scarlet added.

“Oh great, just what I need,” Tom sighed. “She’s not even my type; too loud and obsessive.”

“I haven’t met her,” Scarlet mused.

“Lucky you!”

Before Scarlet or Abi could retort, the door at the top of the stairs flew open.

“Guests have started to arrive, Ms. Polster,” a man in a black vest said, looking directly at Scarlet

“Ok thanks, start sending them down,” she responded before turning back to Tom and Abi. “This is it!”

“Good luck,” Tom said, squeezing Scarlet’s hand.

“Not that you need it,” Abi added. “You’ll do great, we’ve both worked so hard for this and I know our hard work will pay off!”

Scarlet nodded and took a deep calming breath before walking over to the bottom of the stairs, grin plastered upon her face, ready to greet the guests. She smiled at numerous people, thanking them for coming and pointing out the refreshments tables. She shook hands and accepted compliments with gratitude, her smile never faltering.

At about half eight, her heart stopped as a familiar head of spikey black hair suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs. Bill had finally arrived and he looked as eccentric and sexy as always. His hair stood boldly on end and his eyes were heavily rimmed in black make up. He wore a tight black shirt with a sparkly black jacket over it. This was accompanied by black jeans covered in various zips; Scarlet wondered if perhaps it made them easier to remove…she hoped she would find out sooner or later.

She sent him a brilliant smile before turning to look at the blond woman standing beside him. She wore a short blue jersey dress with black leggings beneath coupled with a pair of shiny, red flat shoes. Her eyes were covered in black make up though it was nowhere near as perfect as Bill’s own make up.

Meagan sent a little glare Scarlet’s way before plastering on a huge, fake smile and hurrying over to the dark haired girl.

“Scarlet!” she exclaimed, enveloping her in a hug. “It’s so great to see you again! Congratulations on the book, I’m sure it’ll be just as good as the last few!”

“Thanks, Meagan,” Scarlet responded truthfully. “It was great of you to come. Hi Bill!”

“Hey Scarlet,” Bill said smoothly, leaning over and placing a friendly kiss upon her cheeks. “I missed you.” he whispered quietly so only she could her him.

“Again, thank you both for coming and I hope you enjoy the evening,” she said, trying to act casual though all she wanted to do was kiss Bill. “There are refreshments over there and the bar is open.”

Meagan nodded and tugged on Bill’s hand, pulling him away from Scarlet and over to the refreshments table.

For the next hour, Scarlet greeted guests and mingled with those present, chatting and conversing with as many people as possible. Her eyes continually roamed the crowd, however, searching for Bill.

“Just look at her,” Meagan said venomously, her eyes trained upon Scarlet. “Throwing herself at those men.”

“Meagan, she’s just talking to them,” Bill replied, rolling his eyes before taking a generous swig of his vodka and coke. “she has to talk to everyone.”

“Well she’s doing more than talking,” Meagan scoffed. “Look how she’s standing; her body language screams ‘whore‘.”

“If you say so,” Bill replied, finishing his drink and heading back over to the bar.

Scarlet watched him scurry towards the bar and quickly excused herself from the group of people she had been talking to. She hurried over to the bar, grabbing Abi and Tom along the way.

“Act natural,” she whispered. “We’re just talking together and going to get a drink ok.”

“Wha-” Abi began to ask, before her eyes landed upon Bill at the bar. “Scarlet, I think this is the best turn out yet! All these people have come just to see you!”

“Yeah, Scarlet and um….it’s definitely worth it, I read the book and it’s really good; worth all of this!” Tom added, trying to play along with the act.

“Thanks, it’s just what I-” she paused as her eyes locked upon Bill. “Oh, hi Bill! How are you?”

He glanced around, looking for Meagan, before replying quietly. “I’m better now I’m talking to you.”

Scarlet grinned at him. “Thanks for coming, it’s great to know I have your support.”

“Always,” he smiled gently at her. Suddenly, there was a presence at his side.

“Hi Scarlet,” Meagan said, smirking at her. “Great party.”

“Thanks, glad you’re enjoying yourself,” Scarlet replied, smiling genuinely at her. “It’s always great to see you.”

“Mmm, same here,” Meagan replied. “So, when does the new book hit the shelves?”

“Seven tomorrow morning,” Scarlet said. “We were thinking of releasing it at midnight but, let’s face it, this isn’t Harry Potter, I doubt people would queue for me.”

“Yes, I highly doubt it,” Meagan added, grinning at her. “As you say, you aren’t that good!”

“I would,” Bill added. “Your books are astounding so if it ensured me a decent first copy I’d queue!”

“Thanks Bill, that’s sweet of you,” Scarlet replied, grinning at him.

“So, Scarlet, do you have a boyfriend yet?“ she asked, grabbing onto Bill’s arm possessively. “Or…girlfriend?“

“Well, actually,“ Scarlet began, smirking. “I am seeing someone. It’s getting pretty serious.“

“Really?“ Meagan replied, shocked. “Where is he tonight then?”

“Unfortunately, he couldn’t come and see me properly,” Scarlet sighed. “But he wished me luck in all sorts of ways. It’s great to know he really loves and supports me.”

Her eyes flicked to Bill’s discretely as she spoke, sharing a look with him which spoke volumes between the two. A small smile played at the corners of Bill’s lips, tilting them up slightly in a hidden grin.

“I’m sure he does,” Meagan sneered. “Still, can’t be that much; he’d be here if you meant that much to him.”

Scarlet wanted to grab her by the hair and smash her head into the nearest wall but suddenly a clock chimed somewhere, breaking through her murderous thoughts. “Shit, it’s ten, I better get up on stage. I’ll speak to you all later.”

Scarlet excused herself and made her way over to the stage, standing beside the pile of her books. She grabbed one of the books and the attention of the people in the room. All eyes were on here as she outlined the main plot of the book as well as how long it took to write, where her inspiration came from and her general thanks. Finally, she read an excerpt from one of the chapters.

An hour later, she was done and she eagerly handed out a copy of the book to each guest, thanking them profusely for coming before going back to the party. She was tense though, so made her way out back to have a quick, quiet cigarette.

She’d just lit up a fag when Bill came out.

“Bill,” she breathed quietly. “What are you doing out here?”

“I told Meagan I was going for a cigarette,” he replied, stepping out fully and shutting the door behind him. “She begged me not to but I had to come; I saw you come this way.”

Scarlet grinned, holding out an unlit cigarette from her packet. Bill shook his head and stepped forward, crushing his lips against her own in a heated kiss which managed to sooth her nerves better than any cigarette ever could.

He pulled away all too soon though he held her body close to his. “Fuck, I’ve needed that all night.”

“Me too,” she replied, breathing heavily against his chest. “The moment I saw you I wanted to jump you.”

“Oh god me too, you look so damn hot in that dress, I just wanted to touch you,” he whispered, his hands dancing across the smooth fabric. “You look so perfect.”

The two fell into a content silence, enjoying one another’s aura, enclosed within their own bubble.

“I’m sorry for Meagan,” Bill murmured, after a few moments of silence. “She was a bit bitchy.”

“Don’t worry,” Scarlet replied. “I have you here, now, that’s all I need; all I’ll ever need.”

Bill grinned before bending down and kissing her once more. His lips eagerly pressing up against hers as their tongues dueled seductively in a hot and steamy kiss. Perhaps it was because they hadn’t seen each other much or perhaps it was the heightened risk of getting caught but the kiss was more passionate and steamy than usual. It felt so right but it was so wrong and this fuelled their desire for one another.

The door behind them suddenly swung upon and the two jumped apart, looking guilty. They both sighed in relief as their eyes landed upon Tom.

“Bill, get back in here now, Meagan’s ready to cut your balls off!” Tom exclaimed. “Next time you two want to have a sneaky make out session, go find somewhere with a lock where no-one can go!”

Bill and Scarlet grinned at one another before following Tom back into the venue. The night continued to pass and though neither really had the chance to speak to one another again, the discrete glances they shared with one another were enough to warm their hearts.

HAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!
tom makes me laugh so much!

“Bill, get back in here now, Meagan’s ready to cut your balls off!” Tom exclaimed. “Next time you two want to have a sneaky make out session, go find somewhere with a lock where no-one can go!”

“Scarlet.”

“Bill, is that you? I can barely hear you!”

“Meagan’s around, I gotta keep quiet. I just wanted to let you know how amazing you were last night and how damn gorgeous you were! I wish we could’ve spent more time together, just me and you.”

“Bill, me too, but we’ll see each other soon…I’m free this weekend if you’re up for it?”

“Fuck I can’t, Meagan planned a stupid picnic, she’s trying to pimp her friend off to Tom,” a sigh echoed down the line. “Fuck, I have to go, she’s coming here. I love you.”

The phone went dead before she could reply. With a heavy heart she sighed and placed the small, black device upon the table. No sooner had she put it down did it start to ring again.

“Hello?” she answered immediately, hoping it would be Bill.

“Hey Scarlet!” Abi’s voice drifted down the line.

“Oh, hey Abi,” Scarlet responded, sighing slightly.

“Don’t sound too excited,” Abi scoffed in response.

“sorry hun, I was hoping you’d be Bill,” she sighed.

“Oh, sorry to disappoint,” Abi replied. “Anyway, I called for a reason.”

“Tell.”

“Me and Tom just got invited to a picnic with Meagan and Bill on Saturday,” she sighed dramatically. “Apparantly Meagan’s friend Amanda will be there.”

“Oh, the slut who thinks she has a chance with Tom?” Scarlet asked, disdain prominent in her voice.

“They very same,” Abi sighed.

“Oh that sucks Abi, I’ll be thinking of you on Saturday!” Scarlet exclaimed “we know she’ll never match up to you anyway.”

“Duh,” Abi responded. “But you see, that’s not the only reason why I called.”

“I sense trouble.”

“Oh no, not really….just…Tom said I should invite you!” Abi replied brightly. “And so you have to come.”

“Uh…are you fucking kidding me?” Scarlet exclaimed. “You reckon I should come on a picnic with you, your boyfriend, my boyfriend and his wife?!”

“Yeah, why not? Come on, it’ll be a laugh!” Abi said.

“You think so?” Scarlet replied skeptically. “Hmm, what’ll be a laugh about it, sitting next to her as she gropes him, listening to her go on and on about how perfect they are together or eventually committing murder?”

“The third one, for sure!” Abi replied. “Come on Scarlet, please! You know you want to! Besides I need help against Amanda or more likely, I need help not killing Amanda.”

“Fine,” Scarlet sighed after a few more moments of begging. “Fine I’ll come with, but whatever happens is all your fault.”

“I can handle that!”

Scarlet rolled her eyes before quickly hanging up and heading into her room. If she was going to see Bill on Saturday after all, she needed to find the perfect outfit to wear.

Saturday dawned bright and warm, the sun shining brilliantly in the sky. Scarlet was dressed to the nines in a loose fitting black summer dress which she’d coupled with black Converse wedges, giving her an overall summery appearance. Her make up was light and barely there and her hair had been carelessly slung up in a clip.

She met up with Tom and Abi at the main gates to the park and the three went in, in search of Bill, Meagan and Amanda.

They spotted the three sat upon a large white blanket beneath a willow tree in a secluded corner of the park, not too far away from the river which twisted through the park disappearing within the forest beyond.

“Hi Tom!” Meagan squealed as her eyes landed upon the dread-head. Her delight soon faded as she first saw Abi and then Scarlet heading over.

“What’s she doing here?” Meagan whispered angrily, gripping Tom’s arm fiercely, her nails digging into his flesh.

“I knew you were bringing Amanda so I figured Abi could bring Scarlet, so she wouldn’t feel left out,” Tom replied, shrugging in dismissal.

“You could’ve asked first,” she hissed.

“Is there a problem?” Scarlet asked. She’d seen the angry way Meagan glared at Tom.

“No, not at all,” Meagan replied, all sunshine and roses once more. “Sit down, can I get you a drink?”

“No, I’m fine thanks,” Scarlet replied, gracefully sitting down cross-legged beside Bill who was glancing at her continually. He’d been surprised but overjoyed to see her. “Hey Bill!”

“Hi Scarlet,” he replied, grinning broadly at her. “Great to see you, wasn’t expecting you here.”

“I know, it was kind of a last minute thing, Abi invited me,” Scarlet shrugged. “It’s a beautiful day after all, what better way to spend it than out in the sunshine.”

“Swimming,” Bill replied. “That’s a better way to spend it; swimming.”

“Agreed!” she exclaimed. “I actually brought my bathing suit, just in case. Well, Abi told me to.”

“Oh that’s great! I brought my swimming stuff too,” Bill said, smiling.

“We should go for a swim in the river later,” Tom said, bursting through the conversation which was fast approaching something more intimate between the two.

“But I didn’t bring my swim stuff,” Meagan complained.

“That’s ok, you can sit on the bank with Amanda whilst we go swimming,” Bill assured, shrugging his shoulders.

“hey, Meagan, did you make any of your famous pasta salad,” Tom interrupted. He noticed her fuming and was sure she’d blow a fuse if he didn’t diffuse the situation soon.

“Of course I did, silly,” she replied, all smiles and grins once more. “But you should try Amanda’s roast beef sandwiches, they’re the best and she made them with love.”

“Uh…sure,” Tom said, shrugging his shoulders. He wasn’t actually hungry but anything to avert attention from Bill and Scarlet who were sitting rather close.

A giggling Amanda handed him a large sandwich wrapped in cellophane. He took it and smiled at her briefly which caused her to dissolve into giggles.

“Thanks,” he said, before turning to Abi and handing her half.

“You’re welcome,” Amanda replied, a huge smile gracing her features, causing her to look rather like a pumpkin at Halloween. Tom nodded, his eyebrow raising slightly as he watched her dither about.

Time slipped by in much the same manner. If it wasn’t Meagan draped over Bill and throwing sarcastic comments at Scarlet, it was Amanda making a fool of herself by mooning over Tom, trying to get his attention. Not that he would give it to her; he was too focused upon Abi, whom he lathered in kisses and affection, partly because he wanted to show Amanda he was in love with her but mostly because he was an affectionate person.

By two p.m. the sun was high in the sky basking the ground below in its warm rays. At some point, Scarlet and Abi had shifted away from the group slightly, kicking off their shoes and lying back in the warm sun.

“Having fun so far?” Abi asked, voice low so as not to be overheard.

“Not really,” Scarlet responded. “Are you?”

“Yeah, I’m enjoying watching this whore throwing herself at my boyfriend,” Abi sighed, rolling her eyes. “if she touches his leg one more time, I will rip her to pieces.”

“Take out Meagan while you’re at it,” Scarlet sighed in response. “She’s just throwing it in my face about her and Bill.”

“If only she knew how you rocked his world at least twice a week,” Abi giggled.

“Pff it would kill her,” Scarlet giggled. “Especially if she knew about how many times we’d used her own bed for such an occasion.”

“You’ll have to let her know one day,” Abi agreed.

“Oh I can’t wait,” Scarlet responded. “It’s times like these I just want to jump in her face and scream ‘I’m dating your husband and he loves me more than you’.”

“I can wait till you do as well, the minute he’s rid of Meagan, we’re rid of Amanda and we can all live happily ever- Hi!” she suddenly exclaimed, eyes landing upon Bill who was crawling across the grass towards them.

“Hey,” he said. “Me and Tom are going for a swim, wanna come?”

“Are Meagan and Amanda coming?” Scarlet asked, looking meaningfully at Bill.

“No,” Bill replied, raising an eyebrow. “They’re gonna stay here with our stuff.”

“Sure, I’ll come,” she replied, suggestively smirking at him. She stood up and untied the black dress she wore, letting it flutter to the ground revealing the black and red bikini she wore underneath. “I’m ready to go.”

The other three followed her example, stripping down to their swim stuff as Meagan glared at Scarlet.

“look at that whore, she couldn’t wait to take her clothes off,” Meagan whispered, so that only Amanda could hear her.

“It proves what kind of girl she is, look at the way that suit shows her cleavage; she looks like a tramp!” Amanda exclaimed. “Don’t worry, you look so much better in your swimsuit.”

“I know, right!” Meagan exclaimed in response. “It’s ok, I know Bill doesn’t like girls like that, with all those extra layers of fat!”

She said the last few words just loud enough for Scarlet to hear. Scarlet blushed slightly before standing up, shoulders thrown back and smirking slightly at Bill who was transfixed by the way she moved.

She quickly turned on her heel and strolled down towards the river. By the time she’d reached the bank, Meagan and Amanda were out of sight and Bill was right behind her. He dragged her into the water before pressing his body against hers and kissing her passionately.

“Come on, guys, Meagan’s right back there!” Tom exclaimed as he slipped into the cool water along with Abi.

“She can’t see us,” Bill replied, pulling Scarlet close. “And even if she can, so what; fuck her. She’s such a bitch; I hope she sees us so I can leave her already.”

“She is a bit of a nasty bitch isn’t she,” Scarlet scoffed as she wrapped her body around Bill’s.

“Can I please leave her for you now?” Bill begged, looking at Scarlet with wide, puppy dog eyes.

“Are you really unhappy with her, Bill?” Scarlet asked, shoulders slumping.

“Yes!” he exclaimed. “I hate her and the way she treats the people I love. I just want to get rid of her.”

“Ok, fine,” Scarlet sighed. “Leave her. If that’s what you want.”

“Oh I’m not just going to leave her,” he said, his voice taking on a hint of malice. “I’m going to hurt her.”

“What?” Tom asked; he’d gained their attention with the venom in his voice.

“I want her to see how happy I am without her,” Bill said. “Let’s call it…revenge.”

“Why?” Scarlet asked.

“She deserves it,” Bill said. “All the things she’s said about you and Tom and everyone I love. I can’t stand it anymore. She needs to feel exactly how I feel!”

“Bill I-“

“shh,” Bill replied, silencing her. “No talking anymore. We’re alone and away from Meagan, let’s take advantage of that.”

“No!” Tom exclaimed. “Not here, not while me and Abi are around. We don’t want from row seats to the exclusive porn show.”

“Be look out then,” Bill replied. He grabbed Scarlet by the wrist and dragged her through the water, following the current upstream until they disappeared into the woods, the sunlight dappling down through the thick canopy of trees, giving the area a feeling of twilight. Though the sun barely penetrated the canopy, the air was still warm and heavy.

The cool, crystal clear water flowed around the two as Bill wrapped Scarlet within his arms and kissed her gently. She felt as though she were in a movie; the setting so perfect it was hard to believe this was real. The water flowed lazily around them as Bill guided her over to the bank.

The two sat in the shallow water, enjoying the feeling of one another and the ebbing water surrounding them, caressing bare skin and aiding in the intense and seductive feelings Bill was eliciting in Scarlet. His kisses got more passionate and the world soon drifted away as the two lost themselves in one another.

A while later, Tom and Abi came through the forest, following the river bank. They stumbled upon Bill and Scarlet, curled upon the river bank, legs dangling in the water as they basked in the sparse sun, enjoying one another’s company.

“Bill, come on, you’ve been here for an hour,” Tom said. “Even if you are going to leave Meagan, she’ll be wondering where you are.”

Bill nodded and sighed, helping Scarlet up off the ground. The two stood, brushing loose leaves from their bodies before following Tom and Abi out of the forest. As they reached the clearing, Meagan and Amanda were in sight, but Bill quickly pulled Scarlet behind a thick oak. Scarlet was sure at least Amanda had seen Bill pull her quickly out of sight; a sight which must have been suspicious in and of itself. The moment he pulled her close to him, she forgot all about Amanda and her mean, dark eyes.

“I will leave her, for you,” he whispered. “I’ll be with you soon. Nothing will hold me back from you. I love you.”

He pressed a searing kiss to her lips before pulling away and bounding out of the forest. It took Scarlet a few moments to overcome the sudden kiss. By the time she did he was long gone, back to sitting beside Meagan, having pulled his clothes on quickly beforehand.

As she slipped on her dress and sat back upon the blanket, she couldn’t help but look at Meagan, fawning over Bill and making a show of herself.

”Let’s see what kind of revenge we can cook up for you.” she thought silently, before grinning at the blonde. This was going to be good.
