It was a busy night in Philips Folly on Friday night, but as the evening wore on and the crowd thinned out Michelle got to spend some time with Mark one on one, and they were getting on very well, and when the bell rang for “chucking out time” she very much fancied her chances, especially when he invited her to his place for a nightcap, and when she gauged his level of disappointment when she declined, Michelle knew she was in.
Michelle was still living with her parents and had arranged for her dad
to pick her up from the bus stop.
About halfway between the pub and the bus stop it started to rain so
they made a run for it and ducked into the bus shelter, and the moment they
were undercover she pinned him in the corner and kissed him, and when she
stopped, still pinning him in the corner she said
“Well, that was ok.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to come back for that nightcap?” he asked.
“I can’t” she said with real disappointment “next time though for sure.”
Then Michelle kissed him again and when she had finished the rain eased
off and about a minute later there was the sound of a car horn and when she
looked over her shoulder it was her dad.
He thanked Mark for looking after her, Michelle thanked him for the
company and as she got in the car she said.
“Next time for sure”
Now considering it was only a song in a bus shelter the effect on them
both after that kiss meant they couldn’t wait until the next time.
April Portnall who was also one of the popular girls,
but she started with them in nursery as well and she had no affectation either,
her cousin Matt Stearnes who was 22,
Phil Wilson and Eden Hills.
The party was at a Chinese restaurant called the
Cherry Blossom which was Emma Jane’s favourite.
As you would expect from such a great restaurant it
was a really excellent meal and a quantity of wine was consumed with the meal
so as they reminisced about their shared history they laughed until they cried.
As they left the Cherry
Blossom and got down to street level, they had the usual hugs and kisses on the
pavement and then Phil went across the road to
where his Dads car was parked.
Then as April, Matt and Eden
all lived in the same neck of the woods they went off to get a Taxi and as Emma
Jane and Blake lived close by, they walked home.
As they walked away from the
town square he said
“I had a really great time”
“Yeh me too” she agreed
“Wasn’t it great to get the
six of us together again?”
“We should do it more often”
Blake suggested
““We” should get together
more often” Emma Jane said
“What just the two of us?” he
asked
“Yeh” she said coyly
“Just you and the geek?” he
asked with surprise
“You’re not a geek” she said
defensively “And anyway if you were that wouldn’t stop me fancying you,”
“You fancy me?” he asked pointing at himself
“Didn't you know?” she asked, and he shook his head
“What about you?” she asked shyly
“Do you fancy me?
“I don’t know about fancying
you” he said, and she was clearly crestfallen for a second
“But I’ve been in love with
you since we were 7 if that counts”
“Pig” she said and laughed
before she kissed him softy on the lips which led to the most wonderful
spine-tingling embrace that seemed to last forever.
When it ended, she looked at
him with her soulful eyes and smiled the most loving smile.
Blake returned her smile and
wanted to say something fitting for the moment, but he was lost for words.
“Wow” she said beating him to
the punch then she giggled and ran off up the road and shouted over her
shoulder
“You’ll have to marry me now”
