Correspondence continued between Jade Bargeron and Matt Deighton until the first week in September when Matt returned home.
His first port of call on
Friday, after dumping his bags in his room was the Galleon and when he
approached the shop, he looked through the window and sighed when he saw Jade.
She hadn’t seen him as she
was serving another customer and he stared, mesmerised by her loveliness as he
drank in the picture.
It was the thought of seeing
her looking like that, which had got him through the training.
He pushed open the door and
the little bell rang which caused her to throw a glance at the door.
There was a moment of
hesitation and then the comprehension of what she was seeing spread across her
face and she smiled.
“I’ll be with you in a moment
sir” she said and went behind the counter.
Matt sat down at his normal
table where he could keep Jade in full view as she finished serving a table of
middle-aged women.
Jade turned around and walked
to his table, but kept her eyes averted in case she gave away just how much she
had missed him.
She had not wanted to miss
him, Jade had not even intended going out with him, he was older than her for a
start, but then she hadn’t intended to go out with anyone, she didn’t think she
was ready to have a serious boyfriend.
But she did go out with him,
and she really did miss him.
His love emails to her were
wonderful, she would keep them forever, but he was there in the Coffee Shop in
the flesh.
Lynn kept her eyes down until
the very last second, determined to maintain her composure.
But as soon as her eyes met
his she turned to jelly.
“Hello” she said soppily
“Hi” he said grinning like a
half wit
“What can I get you” she
asked desperately trying to keep her cool.
“A kiss” he whispered
“That’s not on our menu” she
said and giggled
“I’ll get you a Coffee, for
now” then she blushed at her forwardness.
Matt waited outside for her
until closing time and walked her home, the long way round.
“Can I see you tonight?” Matt
asked
“I can’t tonight” she replied
“I have choir practice”
“Oh” he said
“But it’s my day off tomorrow”
Jade said “we could do something then”
“That would be great” he said
“I was going to go shopping
in St Pierre” she said “we could go to the pictures after that if you like”
“I don’t care what we do as
long as I’m with you” he replied and then he got his kiss.
