A scribbled down phone number

Hannah and I had fallen asleep in each others arms.
I felt her stir around 5am and I pretended to still be asleep. I thought I'd see if she woke me or not.
I listened to her getting dressed, then felt her sit on the bed and kiss me.
I opened my eyes.
"It's ok don't get up, I have to go." she whispered then kissed me again.
I pulled her close and we kissed more.
"I'll be in touch ok? I need to speak to Rob but loved last night." She added
"Me too" I said "Can we meet again?"
"We're definitely meeting again, but it has to be a secret John and obviously Claire can never find out!" she looked at me with pleading eyes.
"Jesus Hannah, of course I'd never want her to find out. And Rob will be ok with it?" I asked
"He was last night. Let me talk to him, this can only continue if we are all happy. Ok?" she said
"Agreed!" I said
She kissed me again and left.
I must have dozed off for a while again but when I woke up I was in the best mood I'd been in for months.
I picked up clothes from the night before that were scattered in the bedroom and in the hallway.
I carried them through to the utility room and emptied my pockets before loading them in washing machine.
There was the usual pocket full of change, wallet and then a piece of paper. I at first thought it was a receipt but as I straightened it out it jad a phone number and the words "Call Me x" scrawled onto it.
I suddenly remembered Helen slipping her hand into my pocket as she said goodbye last night.
I walked back upstairs with the paper and grabbed my phone. I wasn't brave enough to call the number without a few drinks in me but I sent a text.
"Hey, sorry it took a while. Only just found your note! Is this Helen?" I sent
No reply came immediately but that was to be expected, she was probably sleeping off last night and didn't even remember writing it.
It was about an hour later my phone chimed to notify me there was a text.
"Oh shit! lol yeh it's Helen. How was your night?" she asked
"Eventful! I had a great night. You?" I replied
"Yeh had a laugh, sorry about the note I must have got a bit carried away after a few drinks." she messaged
"Don't be sorry. So does that mean you didn't really want me to call?" I asked
"I did! But I'm not so brave without the ! lol" she replied
"Ha ha me neither but got to say you're looking great. Maybe when you're out on the town again you can message me, you have my number now!" I sent
"I'm out again tonight but not sure I can face another drink. In town with your ex actually! ;-)" she replied
"I better stay away then! ha ha" I replied.

I never heard anything else back from her for the rest of the day.
At about 10pm that evening my phone chimed again.
"I'm pissed again! Jumping in a taxi home." it was Helen.
"Want me to pick you up?" I replied
"Yes please. x I'm outside the clocktower pub." she answered
"Where's Claire?" I asked
"Already gone home. Come get me baby!"

So I jumped in my car to go pick her up.
