turned on her side and curled up in the fetal position.
Well, she’d fucked up big time because even if she wanted to see Owen, she’d thrown that business card away.
Unless she could get to the bin the next morning before Julia took it outside to empty it… and that’s exactly what she decided she would do.
She should easily be able to quickly retrieve it and with that small consolation, Bella closed her eyes and finally fell asleep.
Chapter 16
The next morning, Bella couldn’t wait to get to the coffee shop.
However, once inside Julia was buzzing around in the front making it impossible for Bella to check the bin.
Finally, Julia had decided to nip to the shop to get some supplies and Bella was left alone.
Julia went out the back way and said she wouldn’t be long.
The minute she had gone, Bella rushed to the bin and took off the lid.
But there had been other pieces of rubbish put in since she’d thrown the card in.
Julia had obviously had a disagreement with a cash register roll and she had also flung in ripped up takeaway menus that no longer applied.
Reaching down, Bella felt herself start to panic.
She was never going to be able to find the business card in all this mess.
“What are you doing?” Julia’s voice behind her made her jump out of her skin.
“Don’t do that—you nearly gave me a heart attack, my heart is banging like mad in my chest now.”
Julia folded her arms, “What are you doing in the bin?”
Bella felt herself blush and was lost for words.
She watched as Julia reached into the pocket of her apron and pulled out the business card, holding it up in her two fingers. “You weren’t looking for this, were you?”
Bella grinned at her and took it from her friend, “Julia you are a gem, you really are.”
“So you have decided to meet him after all. You go, girl, what made you change your mind.”
Bella put her arms around her friend. “You did. You were right about everything; I was just being stupid. I was hanging on to the past but here now, like you said, I have a new life so why shouldn’t I make the most of it?”
Julia patted her on the back, “That’s the spirit girl. His mobile numbers on there, text him.”
“What? Now?”
Julia nodded. “No time like the present and we are opening in five minutes and you won’t get a chance again until later this afternoon so go on, make his day.”

Owen received Bella’s text confirming that she would meet him that evening at the Lotus and he hadn’t stopped smiling all day.
After a hectic shift at the shop, Bella had gone home and jumped into the bath to soothe her aching legs and get ready to meet Owen again.
As she pushed the bubbles around the bath, Bella felt her pussy stir at the thought of Owen’s cock.
She had to admit he had a nice cock.
She had really enjoyed sucking it, too.
Then she closed her eyes and imagined what they were going to do that evening.
Bella had always had a fantasy about fucking someone in the bath, swimming pool, or in the sea.
There was something about the idea that made Bella feel really hot.
She wondered if she had the nerve to suggest it to Owen this evening.
There was bound to be a swimming pool at the hotel.
Bella dipped her head under the water in the bath and washed the shampoo out of her hair. She decided that she would have a couple of glasses of wine as she got ready.
As she dried her hair, Bella couldn’t help but think how horny it was to be getting ready when in essence she was getting ready to be fucked.
However, she was feeling brazen and more confident than she had in ages.
She was determined to enjoy every minute of her evening.
Chapter 17
Bella arrived for her and Owen’s second tryst on time.
Owen escorted her into the hotel and after checking in, he took her through to a
