Gemma recently broke up
with rival Tottenham Heat football player, Darius Bishop. Gemma eyes were set
on her next male prey, Guy. Tamzin assured her Guy Rowling is perfect.
    Gemma didn’t
impress Guy. Gemma was a tall waif thin model with fake breasts that resembled
Christmas baubles. She never wore a bra, showing off permanent, erect nipples.
Gemma mimicked Tamzin. She had the same long blonde hair which was
predominantly extensions. Gemma’s skin looked orange from her fake tan and brilliant,
white veneers covered her crooked jagged teeth. Guy didn’t like her long,
pointy nose and small, beady blue eyes. She looked hungry and forlorn. Guy
thought she needed a good Sunday roast and to lighten up on her emotions.
    “Have you come
back with a cake?” Tamzin asked straight to the point.
    “No, Tam. I’ve
come back with something better. A pastry chef who will be working with Mr.
Hare on your cake.” replied Guy as he continued to walk towards the reception
desk. Tamzin and Gemma walked alongside him.
    “A pastry chef?
That’s what you call the best you can do? I asked for a cake, not a chef! As
you recall Darren shagged the last one!” she hissed. Guy turned back to Tamzin.
He threw her a fiery look.
    “I know full well
what happened. To be frank, this is your bloody job Tamzin, not mine! I’m not
your fucking lap dog. I only did it as a friend.” Guy snapped harshly. He was
irate and wanted to hurry back to Grace so they can have dinner together.
    As Tamzin spoke
with Guy, Gemma stared at her shellac French manicure nails. Tamzin wasn’t
impressed by Guy’s reply.
    “That’s what
friends do, Guy. Small favours for each other. You’re Darren’s friend, constant
alibi and his partner in crime. So, I do expect you to do anything he can’t do
or isn’t willing to do.” Tamzin retorted coolly. “Matters aside, have you met
my friend Gemma Wharton?”
    Tamzin pulled
Gemma close to her. Gemma extended her hand which Guy politely shook. Fact of
the matter, it wasn’t the first time Guy and Grace met. They met various times
in various nightclubs which they frequented. Each time introduced, Gemma was
high on drugs, drunk or just aloof.
    “Gemma’s mending a
broken heart after that cruel Darius cheated on her with that slag. I said to Gemma that you’d be a perfect gentleman. Maybe
you can go out on a date. I think you two will make a great couple.” Tamzin
mewled.
    “After the party
in the library, I’m available.” Gemma said. Her voice was barely above a
whisper. Guy struggled to hear her.
    “Tamzin, I’ve got
to attend to business. I’ll see you later.” Guy replied as soon as the
reception manager emerged from the back office.
    “See you soon.” Tamzin
said.
    Tamzin and Gemma
walked to the library for cigars and drinks with her other guests.
    ♥
    Guy reserved Grace a private guest cottage
at the bottom of the north lawn of the hall. It was the last one remaining. He
couldn’t get her a suite within the hall as it was fully booked. Guy paid for
the expensive cottage with his black Amex. He didn’t need the headache of
Tamzin or Darren complaining about cost.
    As Guy signed
documents to settle the reservation, Darren appeared alongside him. Darren was
dressed in a smoking jacket with a cigar hanging from his lips and clutching
two shot glasses in his hand.
                “Where
the hell you’ve been all day? Are you coming to the library mate?” Darren said
putting the glasses down onto the reception desk. He pulled the cigar out of
his mouth.
                “I
was doing business for you.” Guy answered curt. It still amazes me that we are from the same gene pool.
                Unlike
Guy, Darren suffered from an arrogant complex.   It was made worse as he was voted world’s
sexiest footballer 2012. Darren’s cocky, arrogant and reckless. Although
slightly shorter than Guy, Darren tanned and shaved his natural blonde locks to
a short nearly bald haircut.
