awkwardness there may have been the other day is gone now. We laugh at stories from years ago and fill in the gaps of the last 5 years easily.
    As the night progresses the darkness around him seems to let in a little light. I think I can save his Being .
    I ask him to tell me more about his group of friends. I’ve told him a little bit of my friends, mentioning very vaguely we met during martial arts classes.
    “Well, Adam you know,” he starts, giving me a look that says lets leave him alone for now, “and I moved in with a guy named David that helped me get my job. We work together and live together so gets a bit much sometimes.”
    I nod, I understand as I spend virtually every day with Poppy. Love her but sometimes you need your own time and space.
    “And then there’s Ian. Not sure how the others know him but he’s a funny one. Rich family but he’s not one for airs and graces. Quiet. People watcher.”
    Well none of them sound pure evil.
    “I am so glad we met up again Alice . It’s always good to see you.”
    Dinner is over. We’re outside, he looks gorgeous and I wonder do things get any better than this?
    “It’s good to see you too Jason and I’ve had a wonderful night. Even if you did have to bring up that story about the time I got my skirt tucked in my knickers.”
    He laughs. “Can you believe it’s almost 11 O’clock already?”
      “Well I guess we’d better get going.” I say regretfully.
    We drive home and there’s that horrible awkward moment where I wonder do I kiss him on the cheek; will he walk me to the front door, is he going to want to see me again?
    “I’ve got plans with Adam and the guys in the week,” moment spoiled, “but if you’re free on Friday maybe we could do something?”
    “I’d love to.” I had fun; he’s still a great guy, regardless of the colour of his Being .
    “Great. I’ll call you later in the week.”
    I get out of the car and fumble around in my bag for my keys. I’m walking to the door when I feel a touch on my arm. I turn around and he’s close. I didn’t even hear him get out of the car.
    “Goodnight Alice ” he murmurs and then pulls me closer to him.
    I’m going to faint. Burp. Throw up. But I don’t. He brushes his lips against mine and I close my eyes thinking that I don’t want this to ever end. It does, all too quickly and he’s smiling at me as he walks away.
    I watch his car drive away and feel a smile starting to work its way up to my eyes.
    “Will you get in here you idiot and tell me what happened!”
    Ah, the spell is broken by the shrieking of my best friend.
     
    “And then he kissed me.” I know I shrugged the shoulder that time.
    “I had to hear all about your knickers stuck in your skirt, which I remember too, before you get to the good part?” She looks a little mad.
    “Well that was the chronological order.” Makes sense to me.
    We’re in the kitchen naturally reliving the night.
    “Chronological! Have you been doing crosswords with your mum again? Ah! Tell me about the kiss”.
    “It was just a kiss.” Why can’t I keep my shoulder still?
    “It was just a kiss!! What kind of just a kiss? Sloppy, long, slooooooow, tongues?”
    Why do I think this would be easier with mum? “It was a brush of the lips, light but slow and over too quickly.”
    “Oooh, smooth. I thought Jason long legs would have been a tongue down your throat kind of guy.”
    “OK that’s enough. He has plans with the guys this week but I’m seeing him again Friday so plenty of time to work out a plan. Any ideas yet?”
    “No. It’s late. Let’s call it a night as don’t forget that Glen got his job so we’re meeting him for dinner tomorrow to wish him luck in his bird watching career. If he wasn’t so career minded I might find him sexy.”
    “Good night Poppy.”
    “But don’t you think he has that extremely intelligent look that could be sexy? I mean I’d have to buy him new glasses. Maybe we could go
