There’s no reply to disturb her night’s sleep

Felicity wakes to the sound of her mum calling up the stairs, her phone still clutched in her hand.

“We’re off out for the day Felicity” her mum shouts, “sort yourself out for lunch, we’ll be back early evening.”

“Sure mum, have a good day” Felicity shouts back even as she is checking her phone, a pang of disappointment running through her as she sees just a couple of messages from friends asking how her evening was, and letting her know a few of them are heading to the park later to catch some sun and get in a little netball practice.

“See you there” she replies to the group chat, glad of the distraction, knowing if she doesn’t go out, she’s likely to sit around all day waiting for a message that might never appear.

Finally she hops out of bed, catching her reflection in the mirror, smiling as she tells herself it will be his loss not to get a chance to have his way with her hot 18 year old body. A quick shower and soon enough she has dressed in her bikini underneath a little skirt and t-shirt, plus sun lotion and water in her bag, sunglasses on her head, telling herself to make the most of the sunny day.

A quick bus ride takes her to the park and as she heads towards the place they always meet, two of her friends are already there, stretched out catching the sun. And even as she is covering legs and arms in lotion, the fourth of their little group arrives.

It doesn’t take look to get onto the topic of what they got up to last night, all of them laughing and teasing as Chelsea expands on her message from last night about getting off with some guy. The girls act shocked as Chelsea details how she snogged him on the dancefloor, and how she could he was defiantly hard in his jeans by the end.

“What about you Flis?” Chloe asks once Chelsea has finished her tale, “was it as boring as you said it was going to be?”

“Not that bad” Felicity says as she tries to decide how much to tell them, then reminding herself he hasn’t replied so she probably won’t be seeing him again so it’s best not to discuss it.

“All those richer older men, you should have got yourself a sugar daddy” Chelsea suggests, and there’s laughter in their little group as they all start to make comments about getting off with an old man! Felicity joins in the banter, hoping that it doesn’t become obvious how close to the truth they might have just got.

The conversation drifts in and out as they enjoy the warmth, when suddenly her phone beeps in her bag, and she has to stay calm and not grab for it instantly, a dead giveaway amongst her friends that it’s a boy usually when they do that!
