Playing hard to get

I cancelled my lunch date with Stubby - she’d mentioned yesterday she needed to go out to buy a leaving present for someone leaving tomorrow and I received a nice cheque from those nice bastards at BT, necessitating a hike across the centre of Norwich for it to be deposited.

“You’re standing me up?!” she exclaimed, shocked but smiling.

Yeah. Sucks, doesn’t it?” I smiled back.

This had clearly been playing on her mind because on my way home I received a text:

R u ok seem a bit low. Is it just holiday blues? Hope u r ok!

I replied:

I’m fine, thank you. Just missed you while I was away and I’m regretting cancelling our date :-). I’ve got holiday pics at my desk if you can spare 5 mins tomorrow.

quickly followed by:

Too much? :-D

There was a pause.

Quite a long pause,

Quite a worrying long pause - had I blown my big chance?


Hi was driving! WIll c pics tomsrow! Lunch next week? Glad your ok thought I had pissed u off.

Spelling and txtspeak aside, this seems rather promising to me - these lunches with Shazza seem to be making Stubby ever so slightly jealous.

Heh, heh, heh.
