“Dane, it was just a front, her friends just got out of a bad break up, they hate on women in the universe, drink some strong liqueur and get over the pain together. I think we’ve done it more than enough times.”

“So what she like Bette? She’s not from around her is she? Or surely I would have definitely hit that by now!”

“Shane, my friend as much as you think everyone wants to sleep with you, some just don’t sweetie.”

Alice flung her hand up in the air for appreciation of Shane slam #3 for the night. I obviously returned this gesture.

“She’s British I’m sure of it although it’s a concoction between a few accents including ours. I don’t know I just didn’t get the vibe she was gay did you guys?”

“Yeh” Alice was definite in her answer.

“I don’t know” Shane replied

“I just don’t have a gaydar Bette” Dana replied shyly.

Well back to present time I had called Helena a little while earlier back at the house. We’d arranged to meet at 8pm for drinks at my favourite bar the Planet.

It was 8.05 and as sat there with my usual crowd I was wondering if this woman Helena was going to show. I don’t know it seemed I got mixed vibes when I spoke to her, like she wanted to come but was unsure if she wanted to be alone with me.

I mean I’m not a scary person and I don’t just want to seduce her, yeah sure that would be great well better than great but that night there was something more there.

Another 5 minutes had a past and there still no sign of her so I guessed I’d been stood up. But just as I was about to the tell the guys it looked as if I wasn’t go for that meal afterwards, there she was. Her bouncy curls gleamed in the light. Her hair was tied back in a loose bun with some kind of chopsticks and woah that dress. It was like one of those wrap over cocktail dresses. And it hugged her curves in all the right places. I couldn’t stop staring it was then those green eyes met mine and I just can’t explain in words how much I thought she was the woman of my dreams.
