My heart skipped a beat. She regularly came to Mullingar. What were the chances?
I immediately sent her a text back
You must know the town well so? I live in a flat near the County Buildings. Do you know Mount Street?
No, I don’t really know the town that well. She’s in a nursing home on the outskirts.
Oh right, guess I’ll have to show you one of the days lol
Yeah, I’d like that.
That ended the texting for the day. My dinner was due to arrive at my flat and the hunger was taking over.
Then as I lay in bed later that night, my phone suddenly lit up.
I quickly picked it up and tried to see who it was. It took a few seconds for my eyes to readjust to the bright screen. To my surprise, it was her.
Hey, are you still up?
I wasn’t but told her I was. My sleep could wait.
We messaged back and forth. Then things gradually turned sexual.
You have such beautiful eyes.
I can’t wait to see you again babes.
I want to kiss you and so much more.
Tell me more.
Eventually, my hand got tired from pressing the small buttons and I told her that we would talk the next day.
And we did and the day after.
