To start with, I simply should say that I’m not the sort of lady that enjoys making out with strangers. No matter sort of lady that’s.
On a Tuesday morning in late February, I took this explicit prepare to a job interview in Camden. And in black stilettos and a waistcoat that displayed my belongings to the very best impact, I additionally took the prepare again dwelling. Whereas ready on the platform a tall, darkish, and exceptionally well-dressed man stands subsequent to me.
“Excuse me? I need to go to Inexperienced Park. Is that this the suitable prepare?”
After fumbling with my iPod earphones and realizing that he’s in actual fact chatting with me in his Spanish-British accent, I inform him that Inexperienced Park is simply two stops from the place we’re, clearly.
“So that is the prepare you’re getting on?”
“Sure.”
“You’re American, aren’t you?”
The all-but-empty prepare pulls into the station and we get on, and stand going through each other on reverse sides of the automobile.
I nod, however since I don’t actually have any thought what’s occurring, I await him to say one thing else, not that it’s actually his phrases that I’m paying any consideration to.
“Properly, you don’t appear American.”
“What do I appear to be?”
Seeing as I am unable to actually hear him over the clattering of the tube down the rails, it appears finest to go together with quick sentences. His answer is just a little completely different. He comes over to my aspect and leans in opposition to the wall above me.
“You appear to be sunshine.”
It is a actually good factor I’m not taking note of what he’s saying at this level.
Then the announcement sounds, Subsequent cease, Inexperienced Park.
After which there’s the second.
Eye contact and a sudden and excellent understanding of the truth that we are going to by no means see one another once more, we most likely received’t get one other probability to make the most of how good we glance this morning, and the thought of it not taking place is so ridiculous that it doesn’t even advantage contemplation.
And that’s after I made out with an entire stranger on the Piccadilly line.
It couldn’t have been quite a lot of (extraordinarily sensual, sluggish, sizzling, good) kisses when the prepare stopped. The doorways opened, we smiled at each other, and he picked up his briefcase and went off to work. The bubble of perfection that had shaped in that first second of eye contact popped.
I used to be left with a light case of whisker burn, glares from the aged English matron throughout the aisle, and a smile.
Then I noticed how loopy the second was. As a result of opposite to the coaching of fairytales and grandmothers alike, I didn’t need to know this man’s identify, would actually desire it if I by no means noticed him once more, and positively wouldn’t be stalking the Piccadilly line on the identical time day-after-day looking for him and relive the fantasy.
As a result of we had someway simply created essentially the most good second of attraction and indulgence to ever obtain actuality, and to do something aside from let it exist can be to spoil it.
Being totally visceral, I’ve totally embraced the prospect and the perks of a relationship with out an oz of dedication or intimacy. Only a wholesome dose of ardour.
