Blast From The Past

Passing The Time

'Katee! Hey, look at you looking all rosy. How are you?' Is bombarded at me as I walk into the living room. I sit down next to Nikki and we chat. 'Were you worried about me being out all night?' She shakes her head, motioning no. 'I'm glad you're finally letting a guy make you smile again. I just want you to be happy. Did he treat you right then last night?' I think for a moment as I think things through. Does she think me and Joe slept together? She knows me and knows my past. 'Nikki, I slept next to him but not with him. Joe is really lovely. He never forced me to do anything and he seems to have more respect for girls. I do know he wants to see me again as I do him. What if he's always too busy or meets someone else though?' she shuffles next to me... 'Katee, why would he not want to see you again? It's a chance you need to take. Don't let the past knock your confidence in guys. By the sounds of it, he was a gent with you. Gotta admit, most guys aren't like Joe nowadays. I saw the way he was looking at you when you first met him and damn girl, he's into you!' I sigh. I know she is right. I need to give him a chance to see if he does make the effort to stay in touch and that we see each other again. Just thinking about him makes me smile.

Sitting on my bed as I try to plan out what needs doing with my work. I have my notepad, lists and my laptop surrounding me. I look back over at what I've already done to help inspire me in what to do next. Sometimes ideas just bounce off me and then others, it's like trying to get blood out of a stone! Today I seem to be this way out with it. It would be great if I had a working partner who I could discuss ideas and help each other out. It'd make it more fun as well. A little break is needed so I head into the kitchen to find a snack and get a drink. Back to my work and I don't realise how quickly the time has passed. It always feels so much better knowing you're making progress. Going through my YouTube channel, I find it weird watching myself back on my videos, criticising the way I do things. I remind myself that it's not so much about me but the content that I put in it.

I carry on working until it's dinner time. Searching through the fridge, I decide to cook myself a chicken and pepper omelette. Nikki isn't here so it's a meal for one.

Time goes by while I watch the soaps and I think about Joe. I wonder if he's back home yet. I check my phone to see if I've received anything from but nothing. Feeling bored, I make my mind up to get a shower and chill out in bed.

Beep, I hear my phone. I pick it up and my tummy flutters to see a message off Joe telling me he's finally home after a long ass day of traveling and working. He's already missing me and is going to sort out when he's next off so we can plan to do something. 'I'd like that a lot, it's been really fun this weekend. I miss you too. I'm glad you got there safely. Thinking about you ❤️ '. We text for a short while before saying goodnight to one another.
