- Hello?
Is Laura there please?
- Speaking. Hi Dad
Oh Hi. I didn't recognise your voice. Sounds all echoey
- Well there's no furniture here yet, Jenny doesn't arrive for another 3 days with all the stuff. How are you?
Fine. How's Cambridge?
- Well, I'm glad to be out of halls, even if it is going to cost more. Bit strange being here alone though. I haven't even had time to put the curtains up yet
Ha ha. You brazen hussy. You'll have all the perverts in Cambridge moving in opposite
- Ha ha. Don't think it hasn't crossed my mind. Well actually I've already noticed the bloke opposite looking in. He thinks I can't see him in his upstairs room. Idiot. Kind of flattering in a way though...
Flattering? How old is he?
- How should I know? 40 maybe. Don't worry Dad he's harmless. Just nosey like all of us.
So come on then, tell me about the house. What's your room like?
- Well it's an old Georgian house converted to flats. My room is on the ground floor, Jenny's is in the back. It's comfortable enough. Though I could do with a new bed, this one is a bit lumpy. Please Daddy? Buy me a new bed? I'll be your best friend. Hee hee
Is that all you have? Just a bed?
- Well and that coffee table thing with the telephone on it.
And what do you do in the evenings, apart from talk to me of course?
- Well I slept through most of today, been very lazy. I haven't really got up properly yet
God, typical student! 8:00 at night and you're still not up. Late night last night?
- Could say that I...Oh there he is!
Who?
- My voyeur. I just saw his curtains twitch.
Give him a wave
- Ooh no, then he'd know I'd seen him. Wish I'd put some make up on and got dressed though, whatever will he think?
WHAT?
- Joking Dad
Phew!
- You don't really think I'd sit here with no make up on do you?
But...you are dressed aren't you?
- Hmm, kind of. That silk kaftan thing you bought me from Tokyo.
and?
- Well since you ask Father....panties. I'm only just out of the shower
Aren't you cold?
- Not at all, the heating's on. Anyway I've got my little white socks on to keep my feet warm
Well I think you should put something on. That man -
- Dad he's harmless. Anyway I'm sure he's seen everything by now anyway. I only noticed him 2 days ago. He's probably been watching all week
I'll buy you some curtains
- A bed first though eh? Dad really it's fine. It's not like he can see anything. Just my legs. Damn my hair feels like a bird's nest. Hang on let me just find my hairbrush. How did it get down there?
Where?
- Down the side of the bed....there got it. Woops
What?
- Nothing, the kaftan rode up a bit that's all. I hope he enjoyed the view ha ha. Ow blimey, these knots
Is your hair long or short these days?
- Quite long at the moment. God I don't believe it!
What?
- He's got binoculars. I just saw them catch the light
Seriously love, maybe you should move into the other room for a while
- It's OK. I'm only brushing my hair for god's sake. Not as if he can see anything. I mean if he enjoys watching a beautiful teenager brushing her long black hair wearing little more than a skimpy robe... hee hee
You sound as if you enjoy teasing him or something...
Laura?
- Mmm?
