Interested would be nice, but you know what, I've resigned myself to the possibility that it might never happen.
So we go on our second 'last' date to the theatre. I was a bit apprehensive about meeting after the "Talk" and decided that the only way to deal with my feelings was to treat him as I would my brother Kagaba. They have similar personalities, so wouldn't be too difficult.
Besides, we're just good friends right? Right?
Mamma Mia is ok, in a mindless kind of way - crap plot, lousy singing but brilliant band!. During the interval, we sneaked a bottle of Rosè into the theatre. I couldn't stop giggling as we passed the rustling paper bag between us and at one point A leant over to say "I feel like a 'Wino'"
So far so good, this is going great. It's just like something I would do with my brother, except that with him, I wouldn't be conscious of our arms or legs brushing up against each other
"Kim, get a grip..he's a brother, absolute purity remember" Arggghghgh
Afterwards, we strolled down to Nelsons column, Trafalgar Square and just talked... Was Mr A staring at me in an "I-want-to-kiss-you" way or was I just imagining things? (I WAS tipsy)
ABSOLUTE PURITY, BROTHER, ABSOLUTE PURITY, KAGABA, PURITeeeeeeeeeee
He suddenly blurted out,
"I can't seem to make up my mind about whether I like you or not, I'm confused"
"Oh, that's just what a woman needs to hear... 'I'm confused about you'... How flattering" (sarcasm)
"I'm really sorry I said that Kim, How stupid of me!"
"Why did you have to bring this up now anyway. We were having such a good time, and you have to go and spoil it. YOU drew the line remember?... Awkward silence... 'Let's talk about something else, ok'
We gamely make a recovery, although the 'subject' was still hanging in the air between us
In a total reverse of affairs from the first "last" date, A wanted to meet up again - next week actually,
"Hmm, I'll check my diary, might be free Saturday... can I get back to you about that!"
BROTHER, ABSOLUTE PURITY, KAGABA... BROTHER
