Chapter 45 : Why Wait?

She hasn’t seen him much for the last week, but as Mia checks her phone during her lunch, she sees a text from him.

Mia smiles at her phone, typing out, ‘Sounds dirty, I’m excited’.

Louise makes a face, snapping to get her attention.

“Are you flirting right now? You’ve got your flirting face on,” she says, squinting her eyes.

Mia snorts, putting her phone away.

“I do not have a flirting face,” Mia protests, rolling her eyes.

Louise ignores her.
