Part 10
I then went on to explain to them about my dilemma with Tania, to which they apologised, knowing that without their help I probably wouldn’t have seen her again. ”Son, theirs a phone call for you,” my mother shouted from the bottom of the stairs. "Coming?” I shouted back. Quickly running down the stairs, I picked the phone up to find Tania on the other end. "Hi Tania, what’s up?” "Can I come over tonight?” She said. ”I’m not comfortable with the thought of stealing my best friend’s girl from him, but you better come over so that we can talk.” She said she would be over in an hour, and put the phone down.

Just then, the doorbell rang; I answered it to find Michael standing there. ”Come in Mick,” I said, and then took him up to my bedroom.

Slipping my hand around the door to the bedroom I turned the light out, I’d remembered I’d left it on when we were on the way up the stairs. We entered; I turned on the lamp, on my computer desk. ”What’s all this about Tania, wanting to leave me and go with you?” said Mick, once the door was closed. I could see he was upset, so I first got him to sit down while I explained.

After telling him about our love making (but leaving my spectral friends out of it) and the fact that she had enjoyed it immensely, she had this crazy notion that I was everything she had been looking for, and that she wanted to stay with me. I also told him about the phone call I’d just received, before he arrived. ”I must just add that I have no intention of stealing your girlfriend away from you.” "But she’s already dumped me on the phone,” he replied. "Then we have to think of someway of changing her mind,” I said.

A little while later Tania turned up, and was surprised to see Michael there. ”I want you to know in Mikes presents that I have no intention of stealing you away from him, in fact I wish this had never happened, and I hope that you two can work things out.” At first, she was upset, but upon seeing a tear in Michael’s eye, she began to feel sorry for what she had put him through, the next thing I knew they were giving each other a hug, and suddenly everything was back to normal.

They left shortly after that, so my dilemma had been resolved. No sooner had they gone than I received another phone call from a friend of Tania’s. "Hello Rebecca, to what do I owe the pleasure?” I said. ”We wondered if you’d care to come to a party tonight, you only have to bring a bottle to get in, around my house at ten o’clock?” She replied.

"Who are WE?” I asked.

”My friend Jayne and me, it’s my eighteenth birthday party I have full consent from my parents, who are going to make them selves scarce,” she laughed.” I’d love to,” I said, genuinely looking forward to it.
