“Listen Neil, I had a lovely time but duty calls,” I said back at the table.
“No problem, I have to head home anyway,” Neil said, getting up to walk out with me.
“Let me give you my home number in case you want to see me this weekend,” I said, as he pulled out his cell phone to input the numbers.
When I called him back from the ad, I used my cell. I have to put a face to the name before you get the home digits. After the data exchange, we stood there staring at each other for a few minutes trying to determine the best way to part ways. I am a hugger so after a chaste embrace; I got in my car and pulled out onto the busy road. As I drove home, I felt a twitch in my stomach. I actually went out with another man! It bothered me for about a minute, then I decided there was no need to worry myself over something that might not go beyond a simple cup of coffee.
