Day off, lot’s of rest and Lemsip and I was able to get back to work feeling ten times better than I did on Wednesday. The day flew past with lots of work to be getting on with as usual but I was determined to leave on time due to needing to catch a train back to St. Leonards.
So I got the train and relaxed. I do enjoy getting the train when the surroundings match me demands which are simple; Be quiet, and have enough room to feel like your not imposed upon. Well anyway the journey was fine and getting off St. Leonards Warrior Square in winter reminded me of when I used to commute from Brighton, it was all very nostalgic and touching especially when I knocked on the door of mums place and the heat just gushed out like it used to when I walked home from school. I think this time of year is excellent except for the fading light but I must admit it all makes up for very cosy evening at home or in the pub. I knew I only had a few minutes, as Emma would be picking me up shortly as her shift finished at seven thirty. Mum and I had a nice chat about things and how life is going. She’s still lost I think but there is part of me that thinks she is somewhat enjoying the increased attention that has arisen from all of this. Nevertheless a few minutes past and Emma was calling my mobile to notify me that she had just pulled up and wondered if she should come in and say hi or we just shoot off. I thought it would be nice for Em to come in and quickly say hi as mum has played a hand in this, for which I am very grateful. In addition I don’t think Emma has seen mum in ages and she has changed quite a bit in terms of appearance. A quick hello and goodbye and Emma and I made our way off to Brighton.
Before you knew it we were at home opening the vodka and putting some tunes on while we were getting ready to go out. I do enjoy getting ready to go out. I don’t know why? I think it maybe that I love getting a shower, playing some tunes, and having drinks before heading on out. The excitement of not knowing what could happen or indeed how it will turn out was a major part of why I did enjoying getting ready to go out. I also know it started when I was at University and peaked in my last year as the whole house used to be buzzing.
Ready but not knowing where to go we grabbed a cab in to town. We needed cash so I decided to hit the Natwest near work and jump in to Suga Qube for a quick one. The barman has always been very nice and helpful so when I came in with Emma it was a great pleasure to see him as he accommodated Emma, who I was obviously trying to impress somewhat. I got my pint but Emma got a one off on the spot made up cocktail designed just for her. It was great! He asked her what she liked and so on and eventually after about three taste samples among his staff included he was finally happy to offer Emma her drink. It was gorgeous! It was really nice but he did say he couldn’t do it again as he didn’t write down what ingredients he used. After a quick drink there, bearing in mind time is getting on, we headed down to the seafront where I thought Emma might enjoy some of the clubs. We ended up in the Honey Club where the music I must admit wasn’t too bad. In fact in the small room towards the north of the club they had The Feeling, Artic Monkeys and someone else that I have forgotten playing. So the majority of the night was spent in there until the last half hour or so we went in to the main arena.
Closing time came and we grabbed our things and shot off to get some grub. We went to this chicken place and then grabbed a taxi home where we both pretty much passed out.
The next day I had booked a day off and Emma wasn’t working so there was no need to hurry anywhere though the shock of waking up in the same clothes you went out in is never nice! That may explain how tired or indeed how much we both had to drink the night before. Anyway after the shameful display of being in our ‘going out’ clothes as it were both of us got changed. Emma got changed in to her nightwear as I got changed in to jeans and top to fetch some breakfast, lunch and goodies. Naturally I cam back with flowers, Indian cuisine, cookies and a load of other junk as today was lay in and watch movies day. It was quite late in the day before we started to watch anything, in fact I think it was in the afternoon so only watching one movie was viable as Emma, sadly, had to leave. Her mother Sally had a bit of bad news this week so therefore, as all children should do, she went to make sure she was alright etc. Anyway the afternoon was great, we watched Cars the movie and generally chilled out which was ideal for me as I was heading out again in the evening.
That was pretty much it, Emma headed off home and I started to get ready, slowly, for my next instalment of fun.
So what’s going on with Emma and I? Well I’m hoping things might work out for us. We have spoken about it and that’s it really. I don’t want to go in to too much detail here, but people who know me and of course Emma pretty much can guess I like her…lots. Just have to wait and see what happens and let the chips fall where they may. Most important thing though is that we both have fun and I can say Thursday and Friday was a good laugh.
