Taking the Mikey
Grace's death knell has not even started clanging, but Aisleyne is already eyeing up the possessions she might leave behind... namely Mikey.
The lanky streak of Scouse looked a bit glum after the nomination news broke. While Grace and Nikki bonded in loathing in the garden, Aisleyne spotted her chance to make a move.
"You upset babes?" she asked sympathetically, while plaiting Mikey's hair.
"Not upset, know-a-mean. She had to pick someone, I just don't know why she picked Grace, know-a-mean," replied Mikey, sounding even more Scouse than normal because he was a bit sad.
"But, babes, you're biased. Susie's nice, she wants to make her own opinions. She's not a snob," said Aisleyne. You got the feeling she was going somewhere with this.
"I didn't think Grace had upset anybody, like," said Mikey.
Aisleyne sighed ostentatiously, then repeated: "You're biased. You might not see what others see, because of what's going on with you and her." Prod, prod.
There was a pause. Then Aisleyne cleared her throat and said: "Mikey, that girl hates me."
"Who?" he responded quickly.
"Dunno," said Aisleyne, suddenly turning coy.
"Nikki?" asked Mikey.
"No," was the response.
"You can tell me," Mikey said.
"No I can't, I can't tell anyone," she concluded, sadly.
Then they were silent again, Mikey's face a picture of concentration. A girl hates her, but not Nikki... who else could it be?
