Excerpt:
Julie “Nuff” Nuffield is talking to her struggling actress friend, Eileen, when the pantomime cast arrive, including the man who is playing Prince Charming…
I was only half listening to Eileen because most of my attention was focused on his bum. Something inside of me wanted to go up and take hold of both his buttocks and give them a good squeeze.
‘I think he’s sexy,’ I said.
‘Then you’ve clearly never met him,’ said Eileen. ‘He’s an arse.’
‘That’s the bit I like about him the best,’ I said, imagining what his beautiful bottom must look like without being covered by trousers.
Eileen gave me a stern look. ‘Forget it, Nuffy. He’s ten years younger than you and he treats women like he treats the daily paper — reads the bits he likes, then throws it away before having a new one delivered.’
‘Still…’ I said. And, as I watched him, talking animatedly with his fellow cast, dominating the conversation with exaggerated gestures and his tall stature, an idea was forming. ‘I wish…’ I said.
‘No!’ said Eileen, holding her hands up like a thief caught red-handed. ‘Don’t say it.’
But I knew what I was doing. This time, it wasn’t a slip of the tongue. This time I really meant it. ‘I wish I could go out with Prince Charming,’ I said.
Eileen stared at me in horror. ‘Nuff! What have you done?’
‘I suddenly thought, I’ve been given a gift. Why not have some fun with it?’
