I woke up the next morning shocked to find Ellie lying next to me completely naked. I shook her and she woke up with a start. “Morning lesbo” she said with a smile.
“Lesbo? You’re the lesbo; you drugged me and then had your wicked way with me!”

She laughed. “You can’t deny that you loved it though.”

She was half right, I did enjoy myself but the fact that it was my best friend was extremely off putting, I didn’t give her the satisfaction of a reply. I rolled over and picked my phone up off the bedside table, and to my surprise I had a text from Mark. “Saw you at the club last night, I’m sorry I didn’t believe you before, Mark x” Great. Now the whole world thought I was a lesbian.

 I showed the text to Ellie, she already knew all about what happened with mark and found my distress over the situation highly amusing, she read the text and went into a fit of laughter and when she could finally breathe again she said “Oh well, at least everyone thinks your girlfriend is beautiful…” She rolled out of bed and went into the bathroom “...And don’t even think about joining me in the shower!”

Fortunately for her I had no intentions of doing so; beautiful as she may be, she is purely a friend to me and that was a boundary I was not going to cross again. Sleeping with your best friend once is an experiment, twice would just be weird.

We went to the McDonald’s drive through and sat in the car park eating our food. “I’m not a lesbian, by the way, it was because of the E.” Ellie said, with a mouth full of burger, “I had fun though.”

“I know you’re not,” I reassured her, “and I had fun too, but that doesn’t mean I like you or anything. You’re not my type.”

She laughed, and from that moment on we never spoke about it again and everything went back to normal.  I drove her home and then went home myself.

By this point in my life I’d pretty much accepted the fact that I was a lesbian. I no longer had any interest in boys, I’d slept with a girl and liked it better than any sex I’d had previously and it just felt right when I said it.

That night I stayed up late searching the net for jobs. I didn’t need one, I was financially set for a good while, but I felt as though I should have one at my age for the experience.

I applied for about 6 and started to get tired. My room was cold so I went to the kitchen and made myself a hot water bottle. While I waited for the kettle to boil, I stood in front of a mirrored cabinet and gazed at myself, picking out my faults.I am too short, my skin is awful, my hair is brown and wavy, I hate It,I thought to myself. The kettle clicked off and made me jump, snapping me out of my internal monologue of self-hate. I dragged myself into my room and collapsed onto my bed. I laid there for a while in the darkness, holding my hot water bottle close to me, and before I even knew I’d slept, I was awake again and it was morning.

I was in the kitchen making myself a bacon roll for breakfast when my phone rang. I answered and a woman spoke at the other end. “Hi, can I speak to miss Savannah McFarland please? It’s regarding the decorating job.” She had a beautiful voice; she spoke eloquently, like a posh grammar school student. I confirmed that I was Savannah.

“Would you be available to start today?” she asked, “we urgently need to get this project finished for the re-opening and we need all the people we can get.” Her words were warm and sweet as though they were oozing with honey.

I assured her that I would be there within the hour and she gave me the details of the whereabouts. I rushed around to get ready; I was more excited than a child at Christmas. And I couldn’t wait to meet the owner of that lovely voice.
