as soon as beth was over the threshold, tanya slammed the door behind her. she turned to hamish, who was looking more than a little repentant.
'look hamish i don't want to know what that was all about. it probably really has nothing to do with me.'
the look that came over his face told tanya that she was wrong.
'do you want to tell me what's going on? it was a great night of sex but anything further than that i wasn't looking for. if i don't need to know. don't tell me.'
with this girl standing in front of him wearing nothing but his t-shirt, hamish found it a little difficult be straight with her for fear of scaring her off. when she leant forward and kissed him, his decision was made for him. when tanya walked him backwards to the sofa and sat astride his lap, all thoughts of beth disappeared from his head.
hear my name

i just need to say
I heard Arlo talk to Freya with a tone that made it seem he had known her his whole life. He had the ability to win someone over in a heart beat with his calm nature and his uncomplicated way of speaking. I could tell that Freya liked him.
It didn't surprises me the last few days were a great mystery, why should this be any different. As far as I know she never aproved of any of my lovers, not even Davey, not really at least. Hell is everything else was shaking and shifting into new directions why not this too?
« One man's glory is another man's hell.
You’re on the outside, never bound by such a spell.

the minute i walked into the kitchen they both stopped talking and looked towards me.
'hey don't let my presence stop you two bonding.'
i walked to arlo. he placed his hand on my hip as i reached up to kissed him.
'i don't want to sound like some sort of shrew but it would be appreciated if i had some alone time today. i need to do some work and there's been too many distractions around me lately.'
hear my name

OK Anna, but I was hoping to speak to you in private today. Do you think that might be possible? I know you need your time alone and I don't want to be the imposing house guest, but it is really important for me.

'we can talk later freya. i really need this time for myself.'
the look on her face told me freya wasn't too thrilled with my rebuttal but too bad. it was enough that she was living i my space. i felt arlo squeeze my hand. when i looked at him he raised his eyebrows. i knew what the look was for but i wasn't going to change my mind.
'i'm going to take a shower. you can join me if you want arlo.'
with that i walked out of the room so no one would try and make any more demands on me.

arlo asks me this while running a soapy hand down my back. what did he expect my reply to be, i wonder? i turn to face him, tracing my fingers over the dragon tattoo on his hip.
'will just sleeping be involved? or do i have something more to look forward to? '
hear my name

Later is such a vague concept he said while pulling my head back and kissing my neck.

i pulled away from him. stepping out of the shower i turned the hot water off. arlo yelled when the cold water hit him. but i didn't care, i was already pulling my robe around myself and halfway out the bathroom door. i went to my bedroom closing the door behind me. i had barely sat on the bed when the door opened and arlo stood there.
'what? you don't even respect closed door now?'

He just sat down on the bed rubbing himself dry, dressed and left the room again.

so it was gonna be like that. i could play this game. i got dressed and as i walked out the door i said loudly that i'd be back later. i was on the street before arlo caught up with me. he called for me to wait up.
i didn't. i felt him grab my arm. i pulled it from his grip and glared at him.
'don't grab me arlo.'
hear my name

When I turn around I saw that it wasn't Arlo who grabbed me.
Hamish where did you come from?

I saw Arlo close my door and walk down the street. He didn't wave and didn't say goodbye. I was so angry with him leaving that I didn't hear Hamish's question.

hamish could see i was distracted. but hamish being hamish, it didn't stop him asking questions. he shoved his hands deep into his pockets as we walked along.
'so. that guy still hanging around? what's his name? arlo?'

i stopped. two steps later so did hamish. he looked at me.
' i don't know what i'm doing hamish. i want to be around arlo but then sometimes i can't stand to have anyone that close to me. he touches me or says something and my skin crawls. god what the hell is wrong with me?'

'i don't know. i don't want to screw this up with arlo. but i don't..... fuck. i don't know what i want hamish. i'm not even late for anything . i just said that cause i walked out on arlo, i didn't expect to bump into you or anyone else i knew. and quite frankly i thought you'd leave me alone. i should have known better. so were you coming to see me for any particular reason?'
god i get exhausted just from talking sometimes.

i looked hamish straight in the eye. i wanted to see how long it'd take him to look away.
'you're lying hamish. everytime you lie to me you get this tremor in your left eye. what's going on?'
the muscles in his neck tensed and he glanced to the side. i knew it. something was going on.
'you know i'll find out, so you may as well tell me now.'
AND THEN I WOKE UP AND IT WAS A SATURDAY
"If you remove the English army tomorrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin castle, unless you set about the organisation of the socialist republic then all of your efforts would have been in vain. England will still rule you through her capitalists ,landlords and commercial institutions"
