'how would you know beth. you haven't been around for a while. you've got no idea what shit went down while you were off centreing your chakras or whatever the hell it was you were doing. what's this guy's name anyway? perhaps it'd help if i at least knew that.'

Jeez Louis, no need to go all desperate housewife on me. Calm down Johnny. His name Is Arlo. How would I know you ask me. That is the point Johnny. Come on love pay attention. I said that I didn't "know" if he was good for her. It seems very fashionable to not care. Davey was just as aloof towards Anna as you are. What is that? The new friedly movement?

' you're gonna stand there and give me a lecture about anna and my not caring? give me a break beth. anna cares for no one but herself. i'm just doing a little self preservation here. i love her but she drives me nuts. i've heard hamish and davey talk about an arlo maybe it's him. his brother is dex mclennan.'
johnny stopped while a thought formed in his head.
'anna's sleeping with a friend of davey's? well shit why does that not surprise me?'

It surprises me more that he did so. If he is infact a real friend. I know she can be a little self obsessed. I just hope she is doing the right thing.

'the right thing for who beth? and i don't know if he's a friend. all i do know is that davey is mates with toby roberts who sings in the band that dex drums for. doesn't really sound like much of a connection. i'm starting to learn that people's sex lives aren't anybody's business and perhaps it's just better not to ask.'

I am not talking about her sexlife. I am talking about her well being. And just because Anna can be a bit blind for your needs Johnny doesn't mean you have to be so cold. I thought you guys were friends.

the two days arlo told anna he'd be busy for turned into a week. if she had known his address she would've gone over and confronted him. which as it turned out wouldn't have done any good anyway cause he was at his brother's place. as he sat watching the television, anna sat watching him. she had her sketch book out and was working on something. arlo tried his best to ignore her.
'so tell me, how long has your brother done drugs for?'
arlo didn't answer.
'arlo?'

I thought you told me you needed me to sit still. But he has been on drugs for so long that I can remember him not being all doped and out off control. I guess it started in his early teens.

anna asked nothing more and continued to sketch for a couple more minutes. she dropped the book on the floor and moved closer to arlo. he looked at her briefly and smiled. anna ran her hand down his arm and leaning in kissed his shoulder.
'you want to go for a walk tv boy?'

You are more than a handful. But I thought you would be less energetic while hold that television.

anna stood up and turned the television off. she reached out and took arlo's hand.
'come on. i need some fresh air.'
a clap of thunder filled the air and anna jumped. arlo couldn't help but laugh. when anna went to playfully hit him in the chest, arlo grabbed her wrist. they stared at each other before anna squirmed trying to get free. arlo let her go.
' i don't like people grabbing my wrist.'
anna went to get her coat. when she returned arlo was still sitting on the sofa.
'you coming or not?'

and indeed anna did come back. two hours later. she found freya asleep on the sofa and arlo in her bed. she briefly thought it presumptive of him to wait for her in her bed. then she peeled off her wet clothes, dropping them into a pile near the door. she climbed naked into bed and cuddled up to arlo's apparently sleeping form. he flinched when her cold skin touched his warm skin.
'ha i knew it. you can't pretend to sleep with me arlo.'

anna rested her hand on arlo's stomach and kissed his shoulder. he reached his hand back and rested it on her thigh. he smiled when he felt her lips on his neck. she kissed his shoulder again and then rested her head on the pillow.
'goodnight.'

'listen i've got somewhere to be. if you're so concerned about her maybe talking to anna would be best'

'i'll talk to you soon.'
with that he walked off.
