The Third Date 01: Clueless of Cotham

... was just me and Kate in the room.

"Well..." she said, "I feel I've overstayed my welcome."

"Don't be silly, that's not it at all! Though I grant you, I don't know what got into Melissa just then."

She looked at me strangely. "Don't you?"

"No."

"No... you don't, do you?"

"Huh?"

"Anyway, I'd better get my stuff. Thanks for the lovely food and the music."

We went through to the kitchen and she retrieved her shopping.

"Will you be ok getting home? It's quite late," I began, wanting to fill the somehow awkward silence.

"I only live 3 minutes away. It'll be fine."

"Ok. Well can you text me to let me know you're home safe?"

She laughed. "OkMum, I'll text you."

"Thanks. And thanks for coming over. It was a really nice evening."

"Yeah," she paused, "yeah, it was. Really lovely. You're really lovely, Priya."

I blushed. "Come on, I'll see you out."

We paused in the doorway, so close we were nearly touching. I had the door open for her, and the cool night breeze made me shiver. I tilted my head up, and found her intense blue eyes studying me.

"So, meet here at 6:00 and go down together? Doors are at 7:30, but the four of us were going to get food at the tapas bar on Park Street first, if you want to join..." I found myself saying.

"Are you sure you want me to, Priya?"

... was weird at the end."

"I don't thinkshe was weird." She looked doubtful for a moment. I couldn't work out why. Sure, I'd nearly freaked out when I'd been singing, but the rest of the evening had been great. "Ok, yeah, I'll come."

"Great!" I smiled. I was happy at the thought I'd see her again. "Remember to text me when you get back!"

"Ok, I will, goodnight."

"Goodnight!" I hugged her, though with her bags of shopping it was somewhat awkward. I watched her down the street then shut the door and headed upstairs feeling strangely empty.

Kate

Just leaving now. See you in a minute.

Her reply came back instantly.

Great! x

Is that a kiss at the end of the text message? What did it mean?! Slipping my phone back into my pocket, I let myself out of my apartment to walk round to Priya's for the gig, my mind still in a whirl. I really didn't know what I was doing. That I was attracted to Priya was without question. What I really wasn't clear about was how she felt about me. After I'd texted her last night to let her know I was back safe, we'd texted back and forth for almost an hour before saying goodnight. None of it was obviously sexual or flirtatious, but it was all sweet, and the sheer fact she was texting at all spoke volumes - who has an extensive midnight text conversation with somebody they'd just met if it's purely platonic? I'd tried to distract myself with more swimming and housework, but the texts had kept coming throughout the day. But we'd spent ...
