Slapping ineffectually at Ethan's hands Maggie spluttered. 'Stop-that-now.'

'I will if you do as you're told.'

'You haven't told me to do anything.' Maggie hissed.

'I'm going to turn around. You… are going to strip, scrub and shampoo.'

'And then what go starker's?'

'Whatever turns you on… or me. Of course a gown might be more appropriate, Cinders.'

'Well that's that then.' With hand on her hips Maggie felt ridiculous having this argument in her shower in her pyjamas. 'There's no gown and no fairy god mother to conjure one up. While you fit the job description your magic credit card wand only works during shopping hours.'

Ethan's heated gaze was quickly replaced with a puzzled frown. 'Stay there.' he ordered.

Leaving a fuming fairy story heroine in the bathroom Ethan quickly searched the dressing room clearly not liking what he didn't find. Returning to the ensuite Ethan demanded. 'Where are all the clothes that you bought with Darlene?'

Maggie raised her chin defiantly. She was not going to be made to feel guilty for sending Darlene's contraband back to DJ's. She'd kept all of the items she had chosen and had carefully wrapped and returned all the rest, clothes she thought that had been left on the counter or still worn by mannequins.

Some even she hadn't seen at all that day though they had been in her favourite colours and would have fitted perfectly if she had given into temptation and tried them on. Of course she had to keep the sexy undies that Chloe had discovered since the girl had removed the hygiene liners.

'You sent them back didn't you?'

Her shrug spoke volumes.

'No matter this fairy god father is going to wave his other magic wand and conjure up the works. You have precisely 5 minutes and when I return if you're still wet I'll dry you myself.' Ethan then reached in quickly and turned on the tap giving Maggie no time to escape before she and her pyjamas were soaked with the preset warm water. With that Ethan vanished from the ensuite.

She did it in 3.

The discreet knock on the door of the ensuite was so unlike Ethan's recent demeanour that Maggie wasn't surprised when upon opening the door a strange albeit beautiful woman stood on the other side.

Are all of Ethan's women friends tall, blonde and beautiful? 'Hello my dear, my name is Amanda but you can call me Mandy. Ethan sent me up here to work some magic but seeing you and your glorious hair I won't have to call upon supernatural powers just my considerable talent as a hair dresser. Or as my partner prefers to call me - hair stylist.'
