No. 9

Meeting.

"Now this maybe hard to believe but Rebecca is amazingly single."

I nodded as the rest of the guests looked at me. It was painfully true.

"How?" asked Graham.

I laughed and said "How? for many reasons. Like I'm very bad at dates... I never go on them because they scare me to much. I once threw up because I got so anxious about a date . It often ends up being opposites- I like them, they don't like me. I don't like them and they like me.  I always cancel dates.. also no one asks."

They aww'd. It made me giggle.

"Oh no. Have you ever been on a date?" asked Graham,

"Yeah... well... they where not very good. Lasted for a couple of minutes and ended with high fives." 

Everyone was cringing.

"No!?"Said Graham.

"Yeah.. They've not been the best."

"But that still doesn't explain why you're still single!"exclaimed Graham.

I giggled. 

"I mean are you looking?" asked Graham. As if he was not looking for gossip. 

"I've been looking all of my life. That doesn't mean anyone is stupid enough to get trapped with me."  I meant it. No one had ever been silly enough to trap themselves with me. 

"I'd get trapped" Reece Shearsmith blurted out then suddenly clapped his hand to his mouth as if he did not mean to say it out loud. 

It made my heart jump. I had a secret crush on him and the fact he said that only made the crush  grow. I tried my best not to blush but I was sure I had managed to blend in with the red sofa. 

luckily Graham soon moved on. I managed to calm down. I tried my best not to stare and focus on what Reece had just said. 

The show was soon over. We all got on so well. It was brilliant. We all got each others contact details and said good bye. I could not take my mind off what Reece had said but just put it down to him being kind.
