I finally gave her my number. She asked me a question and we passed the time. I sat at the back of the bus on the top deck. Thankfully she followed me but sat opposite. I wrote my number on a pad, I always have one in my handbag, asking her if she wanted to go on a walk sometime. Just before getting off the bus I passed it to her. My stomach was in knots and my face felt like it was on fire.
The first date we walked along the beach, through the woods and through the fields. We visited each others houses and families. Talking and laughing for hours. The next day we got together. I didn't so much as ask. No I made a subtle comment to which she agreed. Since then everything has snowballed.
2nd date we went on a longer walk, along the cliff tops, through the fields. Again talking laughing but this time holding hands. It was like a shot of caffeine. I didn't care who saw us..passing by..peeping through their net curtains..I felt safe and loved.
These 2 weeks are going to be hard. She's away camping. Can't receive pictures on her phone either and no internet access. However we have planned another date for when she gets back. A walk along the beach and watching the sunset together.
