Adam leant in and kissed me gently holding me close. Even though we were in the beer garden/pool area I did not hear a sound at this time, no noise I was lost in the moment. After a few moments I said "I have to get back to the girls, they'll be worried". Adam grabbed my hand and led me back to where my friends were (still dancing). Adam and a few of his mates joined us, we danced all night. He was really impressing me.
I leant in to Tina and yelled over the music into her ear. "What do you think?" She nodded her head. Jodie came over and asked me to go to the toilet. As all women know this is code for let's talk. I followed and following behind me was Tina and Kelly. We all got out to the toilets and all Jodie could say is "He's hot!, tell me what happened" as girls do I told them every detail. I then said " I'm not sure though, he seems too good to be true". Kelly piped up and said "he's probably a creep, don't trust him" so negative for a moment where I was feeling awesome. I didn't feel any support from her but I also knew she would have been jealous because she was always the flirt and always had the guys following her because for some reason guys seem to like a bitch. I didn't enter into this I just continued to speak with Jodie and Tina. They supported me.
We decided to head home not long after all the girls were staying at my house so we walked inside and I walked up to Adam to tell him I was heading home with the girls. Adam offered to drive us as he hadn't been drinking much and was still sober. We all agreed and we got in the car that I had seen before when it told the girls I would be with him. Wow what a moment, I believe what you put out there does surely happen (in most cases).
When we got back to my house I asked if he wanted to come in for a cuppa and he agreed. That night we stayed up talking all night. I told him I had a beautiful little girl (Ava) and that I was separated. He told me he was in the Navy. I didn't go in to Grant as I wasn't really thinking about him at the time.this night I felt comfortable talking to this person. I didn't feel afraid or nervous as we were just comfortable talking. Before I knew it the sun was up and I was completely sober. Adam told me he had to go and that he didn't want this night to end. He asked for my number and asked if I would go out with him for a drive the next day. I agreed as I knew Tina wouldn't mind watching Ava for a few hours. Nothing happened between us at all. We got up and headed for the door. He turned around and without asking me this time he pulled me close and kissed me gently. "I'll see you tomorrow Emily, I'll call tonight and make sure you will be ready". I watched as he got in the car and backed out of my driveway. I watched him drive off down the street. I spun around and had a little laugh out loud and ran back in to the house.
I ran down to Tina's room and jumped on her bed. She was asleep but not for long. "Oh my god Tina I feel amazing, that was the best night, we didn't do anything , we just spoke, he is so nice, he's in the navy, he's coming back later.." " slow down Emily" she said as she struggled to open her eyes. Jodie and Kelly also woke up. Kelly looked at me then just laid back down but Tina and Jodie sat up and tried to take in what I was saying. I didn't realise how fast I was talking but I was just trying to tell them everything all at the one time and I must admit I got a little dizzy because I didn't take a breath. "I'm happy for you Emily, I really am" Tina said and she meant every word of it. " me too Emily" said Jodie. Tina agreed to watch Ava while I went out the next day and she said not to hurry back just have a good time. Kerry and her partner heard us and got up and I repeated the story to them. Everyone seemed happy for me. I told everyone I had to go and get Ava as my friend Sheryl was watching her from the night before.
I got in my car and drove over to Sheryl's house. Sheryl was an older lady (she was in her late 30's) she had two beautiful girls that loved Ava to pieces. They where more like her big sisters than her friends. When I got there I knocked on the door and Sheryl was a little amazed I was there so early after such a big night. Usually I got to her house at about 11am after going out but this night was not like any night I had had to this time in my life. I explained it all to Sheryl. She was excited for me but she also told me to just take it slow and be careful. She was one person I had told a bit about my past but not much as I didn't want people to know my past and judge me or feel sorry for me. I agreed that I should take it slow but wasn't sure how I was going to contain myself. Ava came running out as soon as she realised I was there and gave me a big hug and kiss. This day couldn't have gotten any better. I had been with Sheryl for hours the time past so quickly, I said Thank You and picked up Ava and her things and headed home.
By the time I got home the lack of sleep had got to me. I got Ava some snacks and put on a movie for us to watch. I laid up on the lounge and cuddled up with Ava and watched the movie then I could not resist closing my eyes for just a minute. Next thing I know I hear Tina in the kitchen cooking dinner. I jumped up and saw Ava at the table waiting patiently for her food. "I am so sorry Tina" I said as I walked out. She was fine she smiled and told me to take a seat dinner was ready. We sat and eat our dinner whilst talking about everything.
When I put Ava to bed I sang her the night song I always sung her (how much is that doggie in the window) this was a song that my Pa would play for me on his record player and he would sing it for me. I had tears in my eyes thinking about my Pa.
The phone rang and Tina answered as I didn't leave Ava before she went to sleep. She was on the phone for about 15 minutes and I heard her say "you had better have good intentions because if you don't then don't bother". I walked out and she looked at me. "It's Adam" she said as she handed me the phone. I was so very nervous but I took the phone and spoke with confidence. We arranged for Adam to be here at 10am the next morning. "I'll see you soon" he were his final words before I hung up the phone.
Tina and I spoke for hours after my call, then we went and picked out the clothes for my date the next day. My room ended up a mess because every time I tried something on I took it off and threw it on my bed. I had settled on a skirt just above my knee and a three quarter tank top just showing a little on my tummy. I was getting nervous already. I didn't want him to get the wrong impression. It was now late and I needed to go to bed. I said good night to Tina, walked to Ava's room and walked in to kiss her on the forehead and say my final good night as I did every night. I the got in to my bed snuggled with my teddy and fell asleep....
