Sometimes, you know exactly how something is going to play out. The exact direction a situation is going to take. And that knowing fills you with confidence and you can act the way you always imagined you could.
I knew I was going to kiss Fletch's friend, The Doctor, from the moment I saw him. We had a met a few weeks ago, just before Christmas. He was cute in a geek-chic way. We flirted. Lara later told me that she wanted to set us up but he had moved to Asia. For a year. As you do. But she was wrong, he was only going for a holiday and when I saw him on Saturday night, it was as if a sixth sense kicked in. I knew how the night was going to go.
It did, of course. Go the way I knew it would. It felt good to be kissed by someone who could kiss properly. The Nice Guy, for all his niceness, wasn't a nice kisser. The Doctor was good.
What I didn't see coming though is still blowing my mind. I thought we met in December, two months ago. He told me a story in which we met in December, five years ago. That night. He knew about Dirty Matt because he was there. I was mortified. I don't remember him at all but then I wasn't really making eye contact with the three guys that were sitting in the living room when Dirty Matt took me home. Funny how something from five years ago can come back and kick you in the arse and kick it hard.
I also didn't see us not exchanging phone numbers coming either. Maybe that is connected to the first thing I didn't see coming. Maybe it isn't. When he was telling me the story, I didn't get the vibe that he was trying to embarrass me, just the Actually, I have met you before kind of vibe. I just didn't ask for his number, he didn't ask for mine.
Another thing I didn't see coming: I wanted to see him again. And that surprised me. Not all that long ago, I said to the tree-hugger that I wanted to hook up with one of Fletch's mates. It was a childish thing to say and I knew it wasn't going to achieve anything that I wanted it to (him to get jealous and realise all those things I want him to realise) and when The Doctor fit perfectly into that plan, I thought that was going to be it. I didn't expect to want to see him again but I did. I do.
I don't have that sick feeling that I had after I met The Nice Guy. I dreaded getting a text from him. I'm kind of surprised that I would like to hear from The Doctor again. I didn't see that coming at all.

ahhh yay! it's like i say, you can always tell right away when there's a mutual attraction. this reminds me of how F and I met 3 years ago too and didn't realize it at first. sooo are you just waiting until you run into him again? since you didn't exchange numbers?
Isn't it strange to find out you've actually met? I was so focused on the Dirty Matt thing and meeting Fletch that night that I didn't take any notice of anyone else.
I've put the wheels in motion a little bit by emailing Lara today to tell her about it. I guess I'm never keen to do the chasing (too chicken) so it's not likely I'll ask for his number or anything so I'll do some passive-aggressive things for a while and see what happens :)
Well Hell-o Mother of Mary! A nice doctor guy who happens to be a good kisser? Why the hell would you not want to see him again?
So, let me get this straight. He was there on that first night? The night that started it all? This is so eerily interesting.
Jo, I know! He was there. So bizarre. I just said yesterday it's so interesting to hear the same story from someone else's perspective. I'd have preferred a different story but nonetheless, it's interesting.
so glad you're back, and so exciting to hear abt the Doctor!! first kisses are just the best when executed right. am really excited to hear more. update us when he calls!! :)
Thanks, Clouds :) Good first kisses are good. A lot can be forgiven if the kiss is right.
Update please!
