which Alex loved.
    “Some night, huh, all grown up at last!” Gerard said with a cocky grin, knowing full well how much her head was hurting.
    Alex smiled. “I’m definitely getting too old for all this shit!” She joked. “I didn’t make too much of dick out of myself did I?” she said pulling a face of doubt. Gerard just winked at her and walked past as Alex cringed with embarrassment.
    Gerard paused suddenly, rubbing his head of solid immaculate black hair. “Oh sorry, I forgot -
    Sarah’s teacher called; they are keeping them late to help with some fund raiser they are doing, Eight O’clock tonight.” He said in desperation after almost overlooking the message. Alex pulled a face of subtle surprise.
    “Sounds like slave labour to me.” She smiled coyly. “Okay, thanks Gerry.” Gerard turned to walk away then turned back at her as she watched the great clean up, all smug and happy.
    “You want me to pick her up?” he said friendly. “I’m going that way”
    Alex stood thinking for a moment. It was not his job really, but he had picked her up all week and she felt a twinge of slight guilt in her stomach.
    “That way?” Alex smiled. “Don’t lie!”
    Gerard grinned and looked away. “The offers there!” he grinned. Alex calmly looked passed him, considering his offer, but with Collette out of town, if she didn’t do the school-run today, she weren’t getting out at all.
    “Nah mate, its cool, me and Princess alone time!” she smiled chirpily. “The little bugger can’t get away from me when she is tied up in the backseat, thanks though!” she said merrily.
    “Okay, well if you are sure”
    “I’m sure!” she replied happily. “Gerry? Has anyone heard from Collette? I was kinda hoping she would have been there last night.”
    Gerard frowned as he ushered the maids from a distance.
    “I don’t think so, Alex. The last I heard she was annual leave, but to be fair; nobody has heard from her in ages! Maybe she is on holiday or abroad or something.” He replied reassuringly.
    “Maybe…” she said looking down at the floor clearly disappointed. “I weren’t aware the grumpy old Git paid any of you enough for a holiday!” she joked.
    Gerard smiled and winked at her. “You would be surprised what he don’t pay us!” he laughed. Alex watched him as he signalled the maids, like a conductor of cleaners, they all knew his signals and flittered about on cue. Alex just watched silently.
    “I hope she is okay; she would have loved the party last night.” She mumbled humbly. Gerard laughed sarcastically.
    “Collette would have been serving the snob’s drinks, and you know it.” He joked.
    “Well if you guys hadn’t of kept the whole thing secret, I could have pulled a few strings” she laughed. Gerard pulled a face of dissatisfaction before smiling at her.
    “Alex my dear, I cannot think of anything worse than pretending to enjoy myself in front of such snobbery. If I’m working, I aint got to talk to those self-righteous ass holes!” he laughed cheekily. “I really don’t know how you do it, Alex, really I don’t.”
    Alex laughed and then held her head in pain as her own laughter rippled throughout her sore brain.
    “I have plenty of help!” she said as she smiled through her headache. “Alcohol and denial!” she winked. Gerard laughed and walked away happily as Alex put her hands in her pockets.
    “Gerry!” she said aloud as he walked away. Gerard stopped suddenly and turned awaiting an order or a change of mind. Alex stood looking at the floor for a moment then looked up at him with a big cheesy grin.
    “Thanks for last night, all of you - was the best night of my life…” she said happily. Gerard looked at her smiling and nodded. “You guys are the greatest, and I mean that, I will see that you will all be paid heavily this month.”
    Gerard beamed in delight at the recognition as Alex turned and walked away. He stood and watched her as she walked off, picking her
