Maybe some new PJs ? It was a lie ; Nan had plenty of Pjs and comfy clothes to wear tonight , but she needed an excuse as to why she was back so soon .
Becky nodded , not picking up on the lie .noveldrama
I think I have just the thing , she said as she walked out from behind the counter .
We got some new Pjs in yesterday , so this is good timing .
Lucky me … Nan thought to herself .
As she went to the pajama section , Nan watched her .
Becky was so beautiful .
This was the woman that her mate chose instead of her , and it made Nans heart hurt with every beat .
Becky returned with a cute pajama set and Nan forced a smile , barely even looking at the set in her hands .
Its perfect , she said mindlessly .
Do you want to try it on ? Becky asked , raising her hands .
No , need .
Im sure theyll fit fine , Nan said , nibbling on her lower lip .
Becky chuckled and walked back towards the counter .
Well okay then , Becky replied over her shoulder .
So … Nan said as she followed her to the counter .
How was your date the other night ? Becky shrugged .
The date itself was fine .
He was such a gentleman , Becky answered .
I was hed invite me to his place … but he didnt .
He dropped me off at home and kissed my cheek .
Nans chest tightened ; his lips were on her skin ? The thought made Nan feel sick to her stomach and she had to swallow down the bile that rose in her throat .
But hes been a little absent minded lately , Becky continued .
Like theres been something on his mind .
Weve seen each other a couple of times since that date , and it was the same … its obvious he isnt telling me something .
I think there might be someone else .
