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?

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.
