She looked at Rebecca; she reached over touching her hand affectionately.
“Look Becs, there’s lots of fish out there, it’s a big sea. Believe me. Jason will have you playing house in no time, if he hasn’t already. How you going to tell David? You know people will talk and say the two of you were having an affair all along? I’m just saying not being mean hun, you know I love you, but you know what I’m saying is true. SORRY.... I know it’s not what you want to hear.” Lucy leaned back into her seat.
Lucy had made perfect sense; people would think that. People always did think the worst.
“You know what you need is.” Lucy paused before she continued “You need a concert. And I have tickets for some band TONIGHT and,” as she paused again.
“Drum roll please. I have backstage passes. And they will have bubbles.” Lucy smiled at Rebecca.
“Come on. It will be a laugh. Look.... trust me ....I’m a Gynecologist,” joked Lucy.
“It’s… Err” stuttered Rebecca shaking her head no.
“I can’t it’s a Monday night. We have work tomorrow. No Lucy, we can’t. No.” Lucy was nodding her head yes.
“Not taking NO for answer anyway it will give you some distance from this Jason and David complicated thing. Come to mine straight from work and we will put a plan of action together TTFN (ta-ta for now) as she disappeared out of Rebecca’s Office.

They had been so caught up in each other, in their own bubble that weekend. She felt so helpless, so stupid she didn’t even know when she would be seeing him again. Oh man, I so don’t feel like going out tonight. She sat there as the tube doors opened at her stop.
She found herself at Lucy’s apartment in no time and hit the buzzer. “It’s me , ” she said. Lucy buzzed her in, through the security doors.
Lucy had the door open already. The music was blaring from the apartment. Rebecca walked in and threw her bag down, slumping in Lucy’s oversized sofa as the tiredness consumed her.
“Lucy, I feel bloody rotten. I can’t face going out tonight…” before Rebecca could finish Lucy interrupted.
“No worries, I got us some Kiri Royal’s on the way home, so we can stay in and you can tell me all about your dirty weekend. So, was he good? .... Oh ....Oh..... I have to ask.....IS he bigger than David?” As they both howled with laughter.
It was much later when Lucy turned the second empty bottle of Kiri Royal down into the brushed silver wine bucket. They had been dancing around the loft style living room horsing around.
“What you need Rebecca is a mental list in your head. If they tick all…well that decision is up to you,” she laughed. “I end up sleeping with them.”
“Ooohh. How many ticks has George got?” Rebecca teased Lucy.

”Anyway, tonight’s about you and not George . What are you going to do about Jason?” she asked.
