“I’m Glad You Missed The Bus”
Well, my second date with L was absolutely amazing, and I’m so glad everything happened how it did.
So I arrived at the bus stop, and she met me there to walk with me to hers. She has a really nice house, albeit some of the rooms she’s wanting to re-decorate. We went to pick some games from her room, and grabbed a drink before setting up in the living room to play Rescue Polar Bears. We had a good game, despite losing, and then she made a start on dinner which she had termed “second date pasta” (tagliatelle, courgette and sausage! Excellent choice!) and we sat together eating dinner and generally chatting about everything.
We then decided to play something else, so she taught me how to play Killer Bunnies and quest for the Magic Carrot, which was quite good fun, but I had abysmal card luck! We’d been enjoying the evening, and she asked what time my bus was, so I checked and realised it was fairly soon, so I got all my stuff sorted to leave, and she said she’d walk with me to the stop, as it’s in a different place. I figured, this time I’d ask her how she wanted to say goodbye, rather than the awkwardness of last time! Plus I wanted to give her the little gift, so I’d do it at the bus stop.
However, as we walked round the corner, we saw the bus heading off early!! I checked my app, and I could take a bus and a train, but it’d be nearly two hours due to the time. I said I’d be happy to take an Uber, but she said not to and despite it being Date 2, I could crash round hers. I was happy to not have to spend extra time or money heading home, plus it meant getting to be with her for longer, so I was more than happy for that.
We walked back to hers, and proceeded to play more games, listen to more music and chat loads till the early hours of the morning, when we both thought we should get some sleep. We were just laying in bed together, talking and facing one another. I was giving her space, but she seemed to take offence, and made a comment that I was leaning back away from her? I felt bad, that was definitely not the impression I wanted to give her, so I jokingly moved right up to her. We were practically nose to nose. I just looked at her and smiled. I moved my hand under the duvet and it brushed hers, and we both instinctively grabbed on to the others hand.
She had such soft hands (something I’d noticed earlier, much to my delight. I do like nice hands!) and I felt like I needed to do/say something to her, and I was about to start saying that I quite liked her, but her desire to beat her nerves took over, and she kissed me! I was caught a little off-guard, as I wasn’t sure she actually liked me (despite the obvious hand holding!) but was so glad she did! For some reason she apologised and said she felt she needed to do that. I said that she didn’t need to apologise, and I’ll do it to her so that we were even, and then kissed her back.
Then followed a lot of kissing, smiling, nose touching and cuddling, and OH MY GOD WAS IT GOOD!! Like seriously, it was amazing! I just felt such..desire and closeness to her. I felt like there was nothing else that mattered at all, just me and her. I haven’t felt like that with someone for a long time. I don’t think I ever felt like that with E, and never with any of my other dates. I’m almost a little worried, I mean this isn’t a normal thing, right? Am I going overboard with my emotions? Do I need a reality check? All I know is that I had such an incredible night that night, and I keep replaying it over in my head, re-enjoying every moment, re-living the nervousness and then relief and realisation that she liked me.
In the morning, I gave her the gift (a Lego Star Wars Han Solo keyring, because Han Solo is her favourite character, and she’s played all the Lego Star Wars games) which she decided to open there and then (It wasn’t even Christmas!) and said it was a really thoughtful gift. :) She gave me a lift to the bus stop before she headed off to her band practice, and we kissed goodbye in the car.
I’m trying hard to keep emotions in check, but I’m really really fond of her...
