That was it!

... several thoughts running around inside my head. I thought Julie was smart, Intelligent, witty and good fun to be around. I considered her one of my best friends. I had thought she dressed a bit down. But seeing her this last couple of times I felt I was looking at a new Julie. She was correct; she had given me a lot to think about. Over the last few years, I had occasionally thought about what it would be like with her. Especially when Ellie started to put on weight and lost her interest in having intimacy. But I had pushed the thought away, I was married, and she was our friend.

I lay awake most of the night turning things over in my head. It was quite simple. She was attractive and good fun to be around. And had been a good friend for a long time so the answer was simple. I wouldn't know if it could work unless I tried it. But the big question was did I want to put myself in that position again, to be hurt? But I reasoned if she had waited 12 years or more, then it was probably worth the risk.

I telephoned Julie later that morning and asked if we could go out on Wednesday. I suggested a restaurant which had just been opened. I didn't want to use the one that was Ellie and my favourite. I wanted neutral ground.

I got there early, she arrived fashionably 2​​ minutes late. She was smartly dressed, not dowdy and not sexy. She had picked something neutral as well. When the waiter asked if we wanted starters. We declined, I think she wanted to get over the meal and get ...

I think she thought she was going to get some brush off, she was waiting for a 'but'. Then I realised I got the approach all wrong. So a quick change to my planned speech. "And I would love to be seen around town with you on my arm." Her head came up quickly looking at me, she opened her mouth to speak but I held my hand up. "I will tell you now that I'm frightened of being hurt again. But if I don't try a relationship with you. I will never know. And I would regret that for the rest of my life. So yes, we can give this a go. But I insist on one thing. no intimacy until I'm a single man. Because that would still seem like cheating."

She had her hands up to her face, tears were pouring out of her eyes. She pulled herself together. I gave her my hanky, she used it to dry her tears. "David, I will never hurt you. I have waited too long to lose you by hurting you. I know Ellie said similar things over the years, but I have one chance to make my life complete. I will not let you down." She reached a hand across to me and took mine. Looking me in the eyes. She said, "I would take you to my bed tonight. But If waiting until ...
