Katy looks stunning as she walks towards me. She is wearing a long, black dress, her bare shoulders caressed by her long, dark hair. Just as well that I put in a bit of effort myself. She leans down and kisses me on the cheek, giving me a whiff of her alluring fragrance before sitting down.
“So good to see you. It’s been a while!”
“Yes, it has,” she replies with a wide smile, “so, how have you been? I must say you’re looking very good these days.”
“Ah you noticed, yeah I’m doing a bit of weight training each night. I’ve been at it for the last eighteen months. I found that it helps clear my head, keeps me grounded. Other than that I’m working away at the accounting online. It’s been a life saver, makes my life so much easier. So tell me all about you and Australia! I really missed ya.”
Katie then told Tom about Australia, the heat and the lack of green. She had stayed in Perth, a place very different to Ireland.
“Are ya serious, the pubs close at 10pm?”
This is one place, Tom would never bother going to. Talk about boring.
By now, they were both enjoying their meal. Tom had gone for some salmon, whereas Katy gone had gone for turkey and ham.
In between bites Katie interjected.
“So, are you still seeing her?”
“No, it didn’t work out unfortunately. We decided it was best. How bout you? Were you a good or naughty girl over there?”
“It turned out Australians are not my type,” she replied with a small smile, while brushing her hair back with her hand.
Is she flirting with me? Nah it’s just me dreaming.
The conversation then switches to their families and how the different people they know are doing.
Unfortunately the time flew and it would soon be time for Tom to head home.
“What about a night cap? You can go in the morning? Come on, I haven’t seen ya in ages,” Katie said intensely looking right into his eyes.
Well, I was never going to refuse a night cap with a beautiful woman.
With that, we went out to our cars and headed to her apartment.
