“Good morning Nortica,” Charlie greeted me at the elevator on Monday morning, keeping his tone professional in front of Cassandra.

“Good morning, Charlie,” I reply, matching his professionalism. I swipe my sign-in pass and press the up button to call the elevator. “How was your weekend?”

“It was satisfying,” He answers, giving me a knowing smile. “Although, I was meaning to take care of some business on Sunday but got caught up with some family drama.”

This was his subtle way of reminding me t

    Charlie You're an idiot, you spent months wallowing in self-pity, fantasising about winning her back and here she is, in your house, offering exactly what you wanted. What kind of fucking, stupid, idiot turns down a Goddess? Get your srse out of this bed, march across the hall, into the guest bedroom and tell her that you made a mistake. Tell that woman that you couldn't possibly live another day without her in your arms. That your heart beats only for her. Tell her that you love her so deeply and that you made a colossal mistake when you rejected her. My feet hit the hardwood floor and I find myself walking the short distance to the door or the guest bedroom. I bring my hand up, ready to knock but stop myself. I know how this will end. We would be happy for a little while but then the darkness from my past would creep in and destroy us. My mind floods with the image of her from that day in her kitchen, the morning she broke up with me. How much sadness she held in her eyes.

    It had been a really chaotic week at work with the spring campaign kicking off. Charlie and I decided to make more cooking videos for our social pages, too, because the growth in sales after our first video was huge. I was also spending my evenings at the hospital with Dad, which I loved doing but having very little downtime was starting to wear me out. By finishing time Friday I was looking forward to just going home, taking a long, hot bath and ordering in. I opened my front door, walked into the living room and was confronted with the sight of Tess, naked, straddling Benji on our couch. I’d walked in on them fucking and I don't know who was more embarrassed, me or them. “Shit, Nortica…I’m so sorry I thought you weren't coming home until late tonight,” Tess apologises while I turn to face the wall. “Mum’s getting Dad ready to move into the rehabilitation centre tomorrow which gave me a free night,” I awkwardly explain. “We will move this to the bedroom,” Benji says. “

    On Saturday Tess and I invited Bailey over for a much-needed girls’ night. We had face masks, made cocktails, had an abundance of sweet and salty snacks and put on cheesy rom-coms that we’d all seen a million times before. The last week had felt like I was stuck on a rollercoaster of stress and it felt like forever since the three of us had hung out together. A girls' night was the perfect cure. “Pete asked me to go on a dirty weekend together next week,” Bailey shares as Tess fills her glass up with margarita mix. “Where are you off to?” I ask, offering my own cup up for a refill. “Ettalong,” she replies excitedly. “It's for our three-month anniversary.”If Pete and Bailey are celebrating three months together that means Tess and Benji will be clocking up the same milestone shortly after. I'm happy for my friends, they've both found men who adore them. “We should call the hotel and pre-warn them that there's a screamer coming to stay,” Tess jokes. “They’ll need to keep that flo

    CharlieThe look on Matilda’s face, when Nortica walked into her dad’s hospital room, was one of pure happiness. After revealing the truth to her daughter on Wednesday, Matilda had been worried that Nortica would cut both her parents out of her life. I didn't want to tell Matilda how Nortica had arrived at this resolution. She didn't need to know that her only daughter had put her own life at risk by drinking alone at a bar. No good would come from sharing that. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you can find your way out of the darkness. I'd been there recently myself and I knew that, once you start depending on alcohol to numb the pain, then you fall deeper into that depression. I stand in the doorway, watching Nortica embrace her mother tightly. I know they've had a strained relationship but they love each other and hopefully now that the truth is out they can strengthen their bond. Nortica moves out of her mother's arms and comes to sit on the bed, cradling her dad’s

    How did I end up naked and in Charlie’s bed? The last thing I remember is Francesca calling him to come pick us up from the club. Did we sleep together? Surely I'd remember if we had sex although, I have no recollection of coming to his house, let alone how I got into his bed. My clothes are scattered around the room but just mine, not Charlie's. Even his side of the bed still appears to be made, like he wasn't even here. My head feels like someone is playing a drum solo on repeat and my mouth is like swallowing cotton balls. I reach for the glass of water on the nightstand, take a big gulp as I try to recall what happened last night. Downstairs I can hear movement in the kitchen. I gather up my clothes, get dressed and wander down. I find Charlie in the kitchen, his back toward me as he stands over a pan on the stove. He's shirtless, wearing only a pair of dark grey shorts, with his tattoos exposed on his muscular back. “Morning,” he greets me, without turning. “Hi,” I reply,

    Charlie1:28 a.m., my phone started buzzing with an incoming call, waking me from what was already a restless sleep. I pick it up from my nightstand, but when I see Francesca’s name on the screen, I hit ignore. I go to put my phone back on the nightstand when she tries to call again. Fran may be an annoying bitch, but she's not someone who would insistently call unless there was a reason. I start to worry that something has happened to Gwen, assuming that's the only reason Fran would be bothering me in the early hours of the morning. “What’s happened?” I ask when I answer the phone. I sit upright in my bed and turn on the bedside light. “He answered,” she happily chirps to someone as loud music insults my ears. “What the fuck do you want, Francesca? It's 1:30 in the fucking morning, and you're waking me up,” I yell down the line, pissed off at her audacity. She's the last person I'd want to talk to, especially in the middle of the night. “Stop being grumpy and come get your gir
