Jesus, sometimes planets just don’t align do they ?
Today a friend of three years , called in on his way past from a holiday in Ireland .
He messaged me out of the blue.
I haven’t seen him for over a year, and when we last met, any potential romance wasn’t on the cards as he was negotiating a drama ish break up of his own and even though I fancied him rotten way back then , I accepted the situation with some measured maturity I thought 😕…yeah!
Today , I fed him tea and cakes, and we talked films and theatre and gossiped and laughed about life in general and his past year regrouping and when he got up to go, he totally surprised me, on the doorstep with a kiss that could have floored a Disney Princess
“I ‘ll call you” he sang out as he walked to his car, waving
My cheeks were burning….
Jesus, I thought , I hadn’t expected that at all …..and I noted that I hadn’t mentioned the surprise of the kiss as well as the presence of the fucking catheter once
And before you comment dear reader
They are important details…….
Hey fucking ho

Ooooh! Well, I await the next instalment. Move over Mills and Boon! xx
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I could do without all this at the moment
DeleteWell, if nothing else, I'm sure it's been an ego boost. Sweet dreams tonight. The memory of that kiss will keep you warm. 😘 xx

Deletehow lovely, a promise of what might be waiting for you.....
ReplyDeleteHummmmmx
DeleteWell, that was a really pleasant surprise! And one you needed. You are more than a guy with a catheter, And you can operate as YOU, with, or without the damn thing. - I'm sure you'd rather 'without', but, like my colostomy, it's better than the alternative (which in my case was a coffin!) Whatever the future between you holds, it's a fillip for you. X X
ReplyDeleteLittle things remind me I’m alive
DeleteWhen you least expect it. Jeez!
ReplyDeleteWhy can’t they do it when I’m functioning ! Lol
DeleteAn ego boost - even if nothing else happens, you know you’ve still got it.
ReplyDeleteAmen 🙏
DeleteAgony and ecstasy in one luscious kiss!! What a thrill, I am sure you will work it out, go dear John go and enjoy it all. Jan in Castle Gresley
ReplyDeleteNothing to work out Jan,
DeleteAh, the Universe is a funny little thing, isn't She? Just when you need a lift, She delivers with a flourish! Nothing would make us out here in blog land happier than to see you being loved, John. We all love you, and that's just not enough!
ReplyDeleteIt was aboost to a fragile ego
DeleteLove is in the air!!
ReplyDeleteA surprise kiss is the best kind!
In my life they are rare xxlol
DeleteAh, you are still alive. Maybe someone to run their fingers through your hair.
ReplyDeleteThat still would be nice
DeleteDebra says it best! Sweet dreams, friend.
ReplyDeleteHey ho
DeleteA nice treat!
ReplyDelete🙏🙏🙏🙏
DeleteI love a good kiss and it sounds like it was. A lovely surprise and there are work arounds, just saying:)
ReplyDeleteA nice surprise isn’t one kiss
DeleteOh my. Oh my goodness my.
ReplyDeleteWell it’s a bit of excitement.
DeleteIt sounds like you needed to remember the famous lines with Hugh Grant and Charlotte Coleman in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral as they raced to a couple of the weddings later than late ... 'F*ck, F*ck, F*ck'. Timing is sometimes just SO bad you HAVE to swear. Ah well I think you may seriously have to live in hope of another surprise visit. :-)
ReplyDeleteI haven’t room for much else dear sue
DeleteIf he's the one that catheter won't matter at all!
ReplyDeleteHe’s not
DeleteOur friend has a colostomy bag and had consigned romance to history. But he is a handsome man with a lovely nature and a sweet lady has recognised that and love is in the air. Wishing you the same happiness xx
ReplyDeleteI’m not holding my breath
DeleteGo slow my friend. I don’t want to see you hurt. But a great kiss is quite lovely. Gigi
ReplyDeleteI’m not jumping into anything dearHeart
DeleteI'm dubious, a kiss and he's gone..for another year? Forever? What a flirt. Where does he live?
ReplyDelete* "It was fun while it lasted," moaned John to Weaver's skeptical ear....
Weaver: ''hey ho." *
My head hasn’t turned Lizzy xx
DeleteNot your head but your mind and your heart and....Listen to me and Lee and everyone. Caution, caution....
DeleteI’m not jumping in to anything xx
DeleteIf he's serious, the catheter is no issue.
ReplyDeleteI'm cautiously happy for ya!
Don’t be .. nothing will happen xx
DeleteBe careful squire, you’ve had your heart broken once
ReplyDeleteLee ❤️🌈
Understood
DeleteDon’t jump in
DeleteI won’t !!
DeleteNone of us want you to be hurt We all want you to be happy. I don't have any advice...just enjoy the moment ...
ReplyDeleteYa still 'got it'.
ReplyDeleteTea and cakes and good conversation is good. Now, go buy a Lottery ticket just in case your luck is turning.
