the delicious slow non-burn
since i've been back i've intiated two bits of contact with spy guy.
one was an e-mail just saying hey, what's happening.
the other was an invitation to lunch a few days later.
i didn't get any response.
so right when i was trying to sort something that could be the difference between an epic disaster or a cannes grand prix, there's a pop up telling me i have an email from him. i fired off a quick reply and somehow his response got buried under a ton of work crap. as i was leaving the office late last night i received a text from him asking if i'm around for a drink. turns out he'd just landed at heathrow. i guess the thing with what he does is that an out of office auto reply isn't really appropriate.
so we meet up at a local spot which happened to be closer to my pad than his and shoot the breeze. it was all very friendly and buddy like. he also got distracted by the tv quite frequently which frankly was off putting but it's what you do with buddies. you can be yourself and do whatever you want. i guess my body language was quite inviting, more than he'd initiated. but we definitely leaned in towards each other as the night progressed, though since it was late they kicked us out pretty much after one drink.
as we left he fell into step with me as i turned in the direction to head home and then we're half way down the first block when he catches my finger with his hand. we ended up holding hands the short walk back to my apartment. i thanked him for walking me home, he bent to kiss me and next thing i know he's suggesting that he walks me upstairs. which is fine by me. i ask if he wants to sleep over and he says only if it's fine with me. which is damn fine by me.
we end up necking and fell asleep. then waking up and doing more than necking. followed by more sleeping, and some very excellent ways to wake up in the morning.
the thing with a fling is when they're getting dressed in the morning it's kinda awkward. you feel like a sloth if you go back to bed when your guest is about to leave, too eager if you watch them get dressed in silence. i'm not sure what the appropriate behavior is under these circumstances. but it was most definitely a very good evening.
guess there are benefits to the delicious slow way of getting to know someone.
i just hope it's more frequently than a monthly occurence.
