‘ You didn’t put a middle name on your profile for Elite Escorts so I presumed you didn’t have one. How do you explain knowing I wouldn’t want to waste time discussing a new sexual position? ’ Joel asked .
‘ I guessed you wouldn’t be a talker, given the biceps, ’ Kate replied, pushing open the door.
‘ Hey! Wait , wait , wait ! Where d’you think you’re going? STOP! ’ a loud high-pitched call screamed out.
Kate and Joel turned around to see Becky scurrying towards them, her cheeks as pink as her hair.
‘ You can’t go yet, you’re our current leaders. You have to wait here until we’re sure you aren’t going t o finish in the top two couples. I have a manual leader board right here, ’ Becky spoke, pointing at a hand drawn grid on her clipboard covered in squiggles, crossings out and bullet points.
‘ You are joking! I can’t sit here all night ; there are places I need to be - like the bar, ’ Kate replied all sense of being polite leaving her.
‘ Oh you don’t have to wait right here, we have a green room. I t’s this way, free drinks and nibbles, ’ Becky responded, starting off towards the other exit.
‘ Free drinks? As in alcoholic drinks? ’ Kate asked , her keenness to leave suddenly departing her.
‘ Yes, of course. This is television, ’ Becky answered with a grin.
‘ Lead on then Becks, you’ve just become my new best friend, ’ Kate responded, hurrying after her.

‘ I’ll have a rum and C oke, make it a double . H ang on, make it two - doubles that is. Did you want anything? ’ Kate asked, turning to look at Joel.
‘ Just a water thanks . D on’t you think perhaps you should have water too? ’
‘ Didn’t you hear the girl with the p ink hair? FREE DRINKS she said, I can get water any time I like. W ater for the fitness guru here please, he needs to rehydrate after all that excitement with the golden egg, ’ Kate spoke to the barman.
‘ I think you drink too much, ’ Joel told her bluntly.
‘ I’m not paying you to have an opinion, ’ Kate retorted eagerly waiting for her drink.
‘ Just an observation. ’
‘ Well I don’t want you to have any of those either. We don’t hav e to pretend we’re a couple now. Miranda and Frank and anyone else it matters to are sat out there, ’ Kate reminded him.
‘ Why does it matter to you that they believe you have a boyfriend? ’ Joel wanted to know.
‘ Rum and C oke , m y best friends! And a wat er for you. C heers, bottoms up and all that, ’ Kate spoke as the drinks arrived and she immediately began to drink her glass dry.
‘ You shouldn’t need someone on your arm to make you feel adequate, particularly if it’s only for the benefit of other people, ’ Joel spoke, leaning on the bar.
‘ I don’t need someone on my arm, the Lady Dragon set me a challenge. S he insisted I brought someone to this function and I didn’t want to stick out like a sore thumb by not bringing anyone so I bought you. Anyway, isn’t it people feeling inadequate for being single that keeps you in business? ’ Kate asked .
‘ Not at all. Most of my clients are businesswomen who don’t have time or the need to form a relationship, they just like a bit of male company every now and then. I don’t think that’s you. ’
‘ Why not? I’m a business woman, I didn’t have time to find a date for tonight and I don’t need a relationship. I’ve just got rid of one piece of deadwood I don’t need to look for any more. I have Bethan , ’ Kate reminded him.
‘ Fair enough, ’ Joel responded, sipping his water.
‘ What about you? Do you have time to form a relationship when you’re taking desperate business women out to dinner? ’ Kate asked, beginning to drink the second rum.
‘ No and I’m too busy perfecting my biceps in any spare time I get, ’ Joel answered quickly.
‘ That reeks of someone with a relationship hang up. Now do you have a wandering eye or do you just find it
