Sadie's POV

I noticed Leo was much happier since Alicia had switched her college to one closer to him

'I wasn't liking the whole long distance thing' He told me during a break in service one day 'It just sucked not being able to give her a hug or kiss her'

I gave him a friendly smile and we went back to looking after our customers

Kate's POV

'Time's up, pen's down' my teacher said. I sighed with relief. My final exam had finished.

I could now look forward to my trip to Austria. Me and my parents had booked a 14 day coach tour, with of course the star attraction being my transit race with Rachel around the Vienna U Bahn.

She'd already taken a brief trip to the city to pressure test the route and it seemed to go okay and we were ready

I only had two weeks to wait. Two weeks.

Sophie was the same. Her trip with Emily was in 10 days time.

'A whole fortnight just watching films' she said 'I'll be in heaven. I hope there are some weepy ones'

I grinned at my best friend. Our other bestie Samantha was going away too, but she wasn't looking forward to it

'Every summer we go to the same Center Parcs' she said. 'It's starting to lose it's appeal'

'Maybe you'll meet your boyfriend there' I said to her

'Possibly but I doubt it' she said quietly 'You guys have a good time'

Melissa's pov:

Valentine's Day arrives. Since it was on the weekend this yr I decided to take the whole day to treat myself. I figured it'd pick up my spirits to do something for myself. I slept in and binge watched the last season of Lucifer. Then I treated myself out to dinner at La Cucina Amore, a fancy Italian restaurant in the next town over that I always wanted to try but thought was too expensive.

Almost as soon as I sat down I saw my ex Shawn walk in hand in hand with Sophie. I instantly felt hot tears begin to prick the back of my eyes. After a few sec I noticed through my now blurry vision a faint figure walking toward my table.

"Hey, Melissa. How've you been?" He began asking me casually. "I hope you remember my girlfriend Sophie." He finished waiting for me to respond.

"I sure do." I began taking a deep breath to collect myself. "Hi." I continued waving politely to Sophie. "I've been good, still single, but good. I mean with school and work and all I don't really have time for a relationship right now anyways." I finished quickly feeling my tears about to spill over.

"It's good to see you. Have a good dinner." Shawn said as he and Sophie walked to their table across the room.

As soon as they were out of eye sight I felt a single thick, hot tear run down my left cheek.  I wiped it angrily away with the back of my right hand, then pulled out my cell phone and stared at it for a moment debating if I should text my brother. On one hand I really wanted his comfort right now on the other hand I knew he was probably enjoying his Valentine's evening with Enid. I decided I'd wait and text him later putting my phone back just as my waitress arrived to take my order.

Jarrod told me it was fine if we took time and arrived at work a bit late as long as it was only once in a while and we had no prior appointments to attend to. He then asked if I was interested in another round or just some extra time to cuddle. He reminded me that either way I'd still have to go in later, but if I chose to have another round he'd be too tired to come in leaving me the choice of which car I was interested in taking.

"I'd love to cuddle a bit longer if you wouldn't mind. I mean I'd hate to go another round knowing how tired it'd make you. I'd feel bad if you had to miss a day of work. Besides if I went another round I doubt I'd have the strength or energy to go in myself and I know I still have to go in today and schedule for the week either way." I said hoping he was ok with my choice.

Camilla decides to cuddle for a few minutes, besides, she was quite worn out as well. I am quite happy, as I really love cuddling with her. I cover our naked bodies with a blanket and I hold her in one of my favorite positions, one hand on her cheek and the other one on her thigh. I caress her cheek lovingly, feeling the smoothness of her fair skin at the same time I caress her soft, toned thigh, feeling her relaxed muscles giving in to the light pressure my hand applies on them, I love feeling her outer thigh muscles giving in and her inner thigh jiggling as I slide my hand through it.

After about half an hour I softly pat and jiggle her thigh, letting her know its time to get dressed and go to work. I promise her I'll continue the session with a relaxing massage in the evening.
