Steph and I were never together. We were friends when she was single and I was in a relationship, and from being just friends we grew closer and were very comfortable with each other, to the stage of cuddling on her sofa to sleep with a movie on. We realised we had gone too far and had to stop, and it had been a year since I last saw her.
Fast forward to yesterday. From facebook I knew she had found a mate, and more than anything I was happy for her. I was doing the groceries when I heard my name from behind me in her all too familiar voice, and as I turned around lo and behold Steph was scuffling up towards me with a trolley half full of goodies. We exchanged pleasantries and agreed to catch up over dinner at the local joint we used to hang around.
I arrived at 7 as we had agreed upon and when she was no-where to be seen at 7.15 I had thought she changed her mind. Just as I was about to give her a buzz the restaurant door chimed and I saw her all too familiar figure walk in. She always dressed well and tonight was no different; a blouse that had her top 3 buttons undone and a dark blue skirt that showed off her slender legs.
