Vana.
The
girls were almost home when Vana got a text from Matthew. “Zoe, Matthew wants
to know if we fancy a movie this afternoon. What do you think?”
“Sure. Why not. Ask him what time.” Matthew replied that he
and his mate, Steven, would be over in about an hour. “Steven? Who’s that? Are
you match-making again, Vana?” Vana laughed. “You know me, I always ask first.
No, this is Matthew’s idea. Anyway he might be cute.” The girls went into the
house, and Vana ran straight upstairs to get the first shower, whilst Zoe had a
quick tidy up in the kitchen.

The
lads arrived; Matthew, dark-haired, and Steven, dirty-blonde, were both in the
university rowing team. Zoe gave Steven a quick once-over, and definitely liked
what she saw – muscular arms, toned upper body, and not bad looking either!
Vana and Matthew were locked in a lover’s embrace. Zoe and Steven had an awkward
moment as their friends played tongue hockey.
“Fancy
a drink, Steven?” asked Zoe.
“Please,” replied Steven, his eyes wandering over Zoe’s body. “I
could murder a cup of a coffee.” As the couple walked into the kitchen, there
was a definite spark between them. Zoe thought: He is so my type. Vana sure
had a hand in this!

Zoe
and Steven were chatting in the lounge. “How are you finding the place?” Steven
asked, whilst looking at the family photographs on the window ledge. “It’s OK;
I mean it’s far bigger than the old one.”
“It’s
certainly a nice house, Zoe.” The moment those words left his mouth he thought: Idiot! Why are you saying it’s a nice house? What a stupid pickup-line!
He
quickly changed the subject. “So, I hear you’re a big gamer?” Zoe nodded. “Yes,
my dad works in the industry and, lucky for me, he got me a part time job
testing games.”
“Seriously?”
he said, “that’s great.”
“What
do your folks do?” She made eye contact.
“Oh,
dad’s a farmer. The farm has been in the family for generations,” replied
Steven. By now, the attraction between them was becoming visible. “Are you a
country boy, then? Hoping to follow in your dad’s footsteps?”
“No
way; too much like hard work! I hope to be a lawyer. How
about you?”
“Anything
to do with games design, I guess.”

Upstairs,
Vana and Matthew were making out in the guest bedroom. “They’re bound to know
what we’re up to,” he said, looking towards the open door. “Matthew, shut up
and kiss me,” she said, lying back on the bed. Matthew positioned himself on
top of her. The lovers continued to enjoy each other’s company when the
atmosphere changed. Vana felt someone was watching them. “Stop a minute,
Matthew,” whispered Vana, looking around the room, “I don’t think we’re alone.”

“What?
We’ll be finished in a minute,” said Matthew, kissing Vana passionately. “No, listen
up,” said Vana. “There’s nothing to listen to, the others are downstairs,”
replied Matthew. He kissed her left ear, cheek, and finally her neck. “Come on,
I’ve not seen you since Saturday.” Vana wasn’t convinced. She listened intently
for any noises coming from the landing, or from the attic. Nothing. She started to relax again and, looking into Matthew’s eyes, kissed him
affectionately on the lips. “I’m such a soft touch when it comes to you.”
Matthew
kissed her right cheek. “Soft isn’t the word I’d use right now.” Vana giggled,
“Matthew, you’ve got one dirty mind.” They did not notice as the wardrobe door
gently opened, revealing a mirror fixed to the inside of it. Nor did they see a
dark shadow, which partially covered the mirror, watching them. Suddenly Vana
was aware of the open door and, at that moment, a wooden hanger clattered down
from the rail and fell out onto the bedroom floor. The young couple jumped up
from the bed.
“What
