It had been precisely three seconds before Kathy, Vicky, Char and Marie pulled open the door behind me, nearly taking it off it’s hinges.
“Spill! Spill! Spill” Kathy screeched.
“Oh. My. God. He was gorgeous! What’s his name!” Vicky nearly screamed with excitement
I laughed as Marie told them to shut up and wait before they all helped me into the inviting warmth of the hallway.
“Wait… I’ll tell you guys everything. I promise. But first I need to get my pj’s on and that means tackling the stairs. Once that’s done we can all sit on the bed and I’ll explain.” I told them with a chuckle as their faces dropped realising they’d have to wait a tad longer.
The girls all eventually agreed after a few mumbles. Kathy went to the kitchen to make hot chocolate and grab some ice cream, Vicky and Marie said they’d help me up the stairs, whilst char set up the dvd’s upstairs.
I decided the safest way would be to sit on the stairs and pull myself up backwards. Vicky took my bag and crutches upstairs whilst Marie stpod in front of me ready in case I slipped. I managed to get all the way up without any problems and Marie helped me stand up. I went to the loo which was an accomplishment, and hobbled across the landing to the large bedroom at the end of the corridor.
I pushed the door open and Char was just turning down the white crisp double bed that lay on the far side of the room against the back wall. She’d already shut the floor length cream curtains to the right of the room and turned on the turquoise lamps giving the room a show room picturesque feel to it. I’d always loved this room and sort of adopted it as my own home from home. It had sky blue walls with a dark laminate wood flooring and furniture; there was possibly the softest of cream rugs next to the bed that I adored.
“That looks really comfy” I said as I walked to the bottom of the bed and layed my crutches on the floor.
“It is” Char smiled “Here you go” she said handing me a pair of my pj’s from my bag that Vicky had brought up and put on the bed. She knows me so well, they were my favorites. My bright blue vest with cream stars and shorts to match. She turned back around and handed me a pair of cream fluffy bed socks too. Scratch the first part, she knows me too well.
I smiled and thanked her before she leaves to make sure the girls got marshmallows. I sat on the edge of the bed and managed to get changed without too much of a struggle. I knew this was going to be hard for the next few weeks. Suddenly a loud vibration made me jump; one of the girls must have plugged my mobile phone into charge already. I shuffled up the bed and reached for the phone.
One new message – unknown number.
Hellooo :) Thought I’d send you a text just to say I’d made it home okay and I didn’t crash! ;D It was really good meeting you tonight, so glad I did! :) Hope you’re okay and not in too much pain, hopefully you’ve got plenty of tablets to stock up on! :) Anyway remember you owe me that coffee tomorrow ;) Starbucks sound good? :) Andy xx
It was strange; I’d gotten butterflies from reading a text from a guy I’d known for one day! I couldn't explain why but I did. I must have sat there smiling like an idiot because at that moment a subtle cough came from the door. I looked up to find Vicky, Kathy, Char and Marie stood there hot chocolate on a tray with ice cream too in hand, all with raised eyebrows and huge grins. Kathy suddenly said “Now Spill” with a giggle.

The girls rushed into the room and Marie handed me a hot chocolate once I’d gotten under the covers and snuggled down in the middle of the bed.
“So I’m guessing that was him then” Kathy grinned “Whoever he is” she laughed.
Kathy laid on my right being careful of my knee, and Marie on my left; Vicky and Char sat cross legged at the bottom with their hot chocolate facing us; all of them obviously waiting for an answer.
“Well his names Andy, he’s originally from Liverpool but he lives in London with three friends and he’s here with them visiting their family.”
I explained the rest to them about Andy, about how sweet he was and our plan for coffee.
“Oh my God! He asked you to wait for him aaaannndd he waited for you that means he must be keen.” Kathy sayid “So have you texted him back?” She screeched with anticipation.
I hadn’t, it had been about half an hour since he had texted. I told Vicky to put “the back-up plan” on whilst we ate the ice cream and I texted Andy back whilst the girls were absorbed in Alex O’loughlins abs.
Hey Andy! :) So sorry for the late reply! I had to explain what had happened with my knee to the girls, & you don’t understand how hard it is to get changed without moving one leg haha! :) Aww thank you! It was really good to meet you too! Yeah I’m fine, stocked up on painkillers now and just enjoyed a nice hot chocolate and ice cream to make me feel better ;) How could I forget about that? ;) Yeah Starbucks sounds really good, we could grab a bite to eat too if you fancy it? :) Louise xx
I thought about just accepting the invitation of coffee but i decided to push my luck as far as it could go and offered lunch too. However i wouldn’t let myself believe he’d accept. An invitation for coffee was way more than any other guy had ever asked me, especially since guys not even half as beautiful as Andy wouldn’t even look at me in that way.
I looked around and Marie and Kathy had fallen to sleep already, Vicky was laid across the bottom of the bed still awake with Char. I nudged them both with my good leg, they turnes and gave me a questioning look. I nodded my head towards the two sleeping beauties.
“Looks like you’re not going anywhere soon” Vicky laughed before she turned back over to watch the rest of the film.
Less than five minutes later I got another reply from Andy and I fond myself smiling like an idiot again with surprise whilst reading it.
It’s fine, no worries! Suppose I’ll let you off ;) Hope they didn’t talk you to death too much with questions ;) aww good, ooo I could just drink a hot chocolate now, too bad im too comfy in bed haha :’) yeah lunch sounds brill :’) I’ll pick you up say 3ish? :) xx
I replylied straight back stating he was just too lazy not too comfy, and that I’d see him at three tomorrow then tell him night. He replied in no time simply saying he couldn’t wait and night too.
I couldn't stop the flutters of excitement that erupted in my stomach at the thought of meeting him again. I wanted to find out more about Andy and hopefully answer some of the many questions that were still knocking around my brain. I fell asleep that night with a smile on my face despite the pain in my knee, knowing that I will see Andy again tomorrow. And that madw everything seem a whole lot better…
