the smear in the post, but you need to phone back in about a week for the others.
    “ O.k. all done I write these up while you dress” leaving her alone with her thoughts. How careful is Alan? Are there others girls he sleeps with? No he faithful she tells herself but not succeeding now that the doubt has entered her mind.
            Feeling dazed and light-headed she heads out to her car in the light rain that started to fall . Helen is feeling lost and empty inside. It feels like if it a missed opportunity slipping by her and she knows she being stupid she should be relived she scolds herself. A girls night out with Lynne and she will feel better she tells herself. She decides to walk home as she feels a little weak from giving blood and she skipped dinner in work as they were short staffed today and heading home but going home the long way and passing Alan’s flat. Should she go and see him? She thinks, she not even sure if he home and what if he not alone? He could have Rebecca there and she keeps walking pass and keeps heading home with her head down. He will think she some crazy possessive girlfriend if he sees her here and quickens her pace and heading home as fast as she can.
    “Helen is that you?” shit he has seen her
    “Wait there” he shouts from his window but Helen keeps walking, she needs to go home and get ready for Lynne. Helen sees him coming out of the side of his flat and running to her in the rain. Alan is soaked in seconds and she is surprised as she never even realized how much it was raining.
    “ Are you o.k. Helen? Is something wrong? You soaked to the skin Helen, where the car? Come on baby I will get you a drink you look like you need one” guiding her into his flat he talking to her like a child she thinks.
    “ It o.k. Alan I got to go home, I have got to go out soon with Lynne. I am only walking because I feel a little faint from the blood I give earlier” and pulling away from him, she needs to go out with Lynne if she goes in he not going to let her go home, she knows him, he never wants her to go home.
    “It wasn’t a request Helen” lifting her in his arms as he carries her into his flat.
           She soaked how she got so wet she thinks as he wraps his arms around her and slowly undressing her as soon as he shuts the door of his flat and coxing her out of her blouse and bra. Helen feels like she a child and remembers when her mother used to do this when she was sick.
    “I get you a towel” walking off to the bathroom and coming back with two towels. Wrapping a child’s one around her and encouraging Helen to sit on the settee that no-longer a bed. Alan stands and dries her hair from behind her.
    “ So what wrong Helen?” he asks with concern in his voice
    “ Sorry, it’s just a bad day I think I need to go” she wants to see Lynne
    “I had a shitty day too” he says and kissing her hair, so she back to the child with him she thinks
    “ Where are you going tonight?”
    “The Blacksmiths , you know the nightclub in town, Lynne wants to go, have you been?”
    “I will pick you up after, about half past one outside and Helen please can you drink from a bottle and don’t let it out of your sight or someone could spike it” and he continues to dry her hair gently
    “ O.k. Helen, all dry. So are you pregnant? Is that why you are upset Helen?” wishfully he asks her
    “No Alan I’ve had a test today so I am not pregnant, I know you want me to be but we not ready. It’s just been a shit of a day Alan and I just ended up here” she says a little frustrated with his need for a child
    “ Sorry Alan, but we hardly know each other” are you faithful to me or do you have others in your life? She adds in her head
    “ Sorry Helen, they more likely to give a man full custody in a strong relationship. Helen I do love you but I love Rebecca more” he says truthfully, so he wants a happy ever after with her playing mum to a child she hasn’t even met yet Helen
