don't really remember which ones ...maybe a yellow one...umm, with like a logo of a bull. What are they called?” He smiled and shouted the answer as though we were playing a quiz game!
“You mean a Lamborghini?!”
“Yeah that's it but really I don't remember any others apart from one in its own glass room but I have never seen one like it before and it looked really old.” Frank was close to salivating as he leaned over Libby to get closer to me, so he could hear me better that way.
“Man I would love to have seen that room, I mean that Aston Martin last night, what a machine! What was it like inside? Did he go fast?” I laughed not remembering when I had ever seen Frank so enthusiastic.
“Jeez, what’s with the interrogation Frank, give her time to breathe!” Libby said pushing his big body back up to his own side.
“Aww, come on Lib's, did you not see that car last night, I'm glad I came home early. I asked him what model it was and when he said a One-77 I had never even heard of it, so I did some research on the internet, guess what I found?” He didn't give us time to guess, as he carried on like a stream train.
“Well there's a reason it's called that! Because there are only 77 of them being made! And you’ll never guess how much Lib's.” He nudged her arm and she winked at me and then turned to him saying “Oooh how much love?” I couldn't help but laugh at her patronizing tone but he didn't notice.
“1.7 million dollars, that's how much was sat on our drive last night! I mean it's a 7.3 litre V12, which means it's got twice as many cylinders as our car!” He looked pleased with himself as Libby whistled at the price.
“Well that's all double Dutch to me!” But he looked upset when I said this. Still I was a bit in awe of the price. I mean why take me home in something that cost so much... It just didn't make any sense!
“You were so lucky, that was like one in a billion type thing!” He shook his head as it was obviously wasted on me but the one in a billion thing I did agree on, but not for the same reason Frank was referring to.
“Anyway let’s get back to the more important things, like how did he smell?”
“What! Oh yeah cause that's more important, has he got good body hygiene?” With that Frank turned up the TV and continued to watch football.
“There's one thing I do want to know, is why he drove you home...I mean, him personally?” This was one question I was also asking myself.
“I don't know Lib's but he is known for taking good care of his staff.” Frank laughed when I said this and we both stared at him to elaborate on his outburst.
“Yeah I bet he is, ha, ha.” He chuckled some more and Libby was shaking her head as though he was some rude naughty little boy.
“Aww come on, isn't it obvious, he has a crush on her!”
“WHAT! I don't think so!” I shouted in disbelief
“Why do you say that?” Libby asked not wanting to hurt my feeling but she was clearly with me on this one. Frank sighed as though we were both born yesterday.
“Oh no, he just picked her up into his arms (after she puked I might add) and carried her off to his millionaire's car, drove her back, whisked her up to her bedroom like some bloody knight in shining armour and then called a doctor to come out to check that she was all right, oh no couldn't possibly fancy her, no course not... must be Boss of the frigin’ year, that's the only explanation!” Frank laughed again as me and Libby sat in silence gob-smacked.
Then Libby turned to me and said, “Maybe he's right, does seem like a lot of effort to go to for just an employee.”
“Yeah and more so for someone who's only second night it was, ha.” Frank again seemed pleased with himself at his conclusion but I was definitely not buying it! What the hell would a man like that want with someone like me?!!
That night I thought that I would never sleep but thanks to the pills, I was out like a light. And again I had no nightmares and only a few times I would dream. The dreams would be
