Heart still pounding, Jill threw her phone on the bed and rushed to the bathroom. Normally she didn't need much time to get ready, she didn't care much about styling and other embellishments. But today she definitely wanted to look good, she wanted to please Craig, and thirty minutes didn't feel like enough for that.
She hurriedly jumped into the shower, washed her hair and hoped that the hotel hair dryer would be enough to get her dry in time. Then she carefully creamed herself and then rummaged through her suitcase in search of underwear. Despite her misgivings, she had packed some sheer lingerie and quickly slipped into tiny black lace knickers and a matching bra. She pulled on the new dress, struggled with the zipper for a moment and then put on the high heels.
She rushed back to the bathroom, where she blow-dried her hair until it was halfway dry and falling in soft waves over her shoulders. As always, she didn't wear makeup, and tonight it wasn't necessary anyway

Jill woke up to something pressing against her back. Slowly she came to, blinked in irritation, wanted to turn around, but the arm that encircled her waist prevented her from doing so. At the same moment, the memory kicked in again. She closed her eyes comfortably and snuggled contentedly to Craig, who was lying behind her."What have we done?" she sighed softly."A lot of things," he smiled sleepily, "Would you like me to tell you?""No, not necessary," she murmured, embarrassed, knowing only too well what they had done together the previous night.He kissed her neck tenderly. 'Should I be concerned that you don't remember how I love you?''You should be concerned about what will happen if this comes out. There's going to be a huge scandal.""It was worth it," he grinned. "Besides, I could tell Harriet that you're not as boring, clumsy, and uptight as she always says.""Craig, that is not funny. We're goin

Dejected, Jill sat in the small room and awaited the unpleasant things that were sure to follow. After what seemed like an endless time, the other girls came back and changed. Nobody said a word and the mood was extremely depressed. Only Cloe had a satisfied grin on her face, you could clearly see the glee.Finally Harriet came in and collected the motorcycle clothing. An icy silence surrounded them, and no one dared utter a sound.Mandy pulled Jill up from the chair and put her arm in her arm.Together they left the building and got on the bus. A little later the other girls started to tumble in, followed by the crew, and soon they were on their way back to the villa."I want to see you all down here in an hour," ordered Harriet when they had arrived. "We'll consult now and then we'll let you know who's in the casting tomorrow."Mumbling softly, the girls made their way to their rooms.Jill stood uncertainly, waiting to be told to pack her

Jill stood frozen and stared after them both. Then, with a mixture of shock and relief, she dropped into a chair and took a deep breath.That had just gone well – at least she thought so. Shaking her head, she wondered what the devil had possessed Craig to come down here half-naked, knowing full well that they weren't alone in the house. She fervently hoped that Joel hadn't suspected not to think about telling Harriet anything about that scene.She quietly crept to the door and put her ear to it, wanting to know if Joel Craig was asking any awkward questions. But nothing more than an indistinct murmur could be heard.Morosely she pushed the cleaning bucket into a corner and disappeared upstairs. She didn't feel like meeting the two of them again now, her need for excitement was covered for the day.Completely exhausted and sweaty, she got into the shower and was annoyed that she hadn't been able to get a look into Joel's photo case. She probably wou

"Why didn't you let me know you were coming home? I could have cooked you something?' As usual, Alice Moore didn't let her daughter speak at all."I just found out about that earlier," Jill explained, still completely overwhelmed by the situation.Her mother pushed past her into the apartment, Jill closed the door and then followed her into the living room.Immediately the usual litany began again. “You promised to call me after the Las Vegas weekend—I was so worried. God knows what could have happened to you.""I'm sorry, I forgot. But as you can see, I'm fine and nothing's happened,' Jill pointed out, mentally continuing, '... except I ended up in bed with the unshaven pretty boy.''I've had the worst Pictures in my head,” Alice Moore continued to lament. “Mugged, kidnapped, robbed, raped…”“… he didn't have to, I did it willingly,” Jill thought sarcastically.“And anyway

Craig and Jill spent another cozy Friday evening. They sat snuggled together on the couch, chatting, fooling around and cuddling. A passionate and tender night ensued, during which Jill sometimes got so loud that Craig had to cover her mouth."Maybe we should get you a gag when we go shopping later," he suggested, grinning the next morning after waking up. "I'm surprised Mrs. Atkins didn't call the police tonight with all your screaming.""You could just sleep on the couch and that would solve the problem and it would be a lot cheaper," she said dryly. 'But speaking of Mrs Atkins and shopping, it would be better if I went alone. Knowing that old bastard, she'll be lying in wait all day again, and I don't want her to see you.”He sighed. "Got it, you want to lock me up here like a pleasure slave.""I didn't really intend to, but you've just given me a very interesting thought," she laughed.They got up, showered together, and then discussed wh

The girls spent Tuesday in the training room from morning to evening, only interrupted by a short lunch break. It was exhausting, but unlike usual, everyone was very enthusiastic about it. Harriet only looked in once or twice to make sure everything was ok, the rest of the time they were alone with Lindsay.Lindsay knew how to motivate the girls very well, she didn't skimp on criticism, but she also distributed praise and it was great fun for everyone.Whenever she had the chance, Jill watched Lindsay unobtrusively. She had to admit without envy that the black-haired woman really looked extremely good. She wore a red suit with a white blouse that contrasted attractively with her dark complexion. Her black hair was cut in a modern short hairstyle that flattered her face and showed off her fawn eyes.It wasn't just her looks that made her appeal, but also her manner. Contrary to Jill's assumption that women like her had to be arrogant and bitchy, Lindsay turned ou

Jill was sitting on the couch in Craig's room watching a documentary on TV but was too restless to pay much attention to the report. In between, she kept looking at the clock. She had been waiting for over an hour now, wondering where he might be. "Briefly," he'd written in his message, so it couldn't be too long.At some point she didn't feel like watching the film anymore and turned it off. She paced the room for a while, then lay down on the bed. Craig's familiar scent filled her nostrils and she closed her eyes.Yes, Mandy was right, it was silly to get so upset over a few little things. After all, she wasn't a fourteen-year-old teenager, but a grown woman who could be expected to handle such situations. Even if Craig wasn't interested in a lasting relationship, she had expected it in the first place and couldn't blame him now.She wondered what he wanted to show her. Maybe he had the intention of ending their relationship, their liaison, their dalliance, or

Craig let them stew. He neither called nor showed up.Jill lay on her bed like a wounded animal, staring at the door as if she could will her to summon him here.She didn't know whether to be happy about the delay or not, because there was no doubt that it was only a delay. On the one hand it might be good if things calmed down a little first, on the other hand she would have liked to get it over with.She hesitantly picked up her cell phone, wondering if she should call him. But she had no idea where he was or what he was doing, and surely it was better not to upset him further by bothering him.She noticed a message on the screen telling her she had a missed call.It was Craig's number, the message was from last night, just after ten o'clock.With a sigh, she pressed the button for her mailbox, then heard Craig's voice:“Jill, I'm sorry I can't make it today. I have been held up in Lakeside and will
