“T, we go into that shop in an hour and a half and I can pretty much guarantee what we’ll be doing for the rest of the day” I give her a leering look, not too different from the one I had off the cab driver and pulled her into a kiss. I was feeling so much more myself today, more confident about Tina’s feelings for me and really secure about our relationship. She loves you Portertake it for what it is and start enjoying it

I spotted a caf as soon as we got onto the high street”Hey T, what about that one over there, it looks nice enough?” The pounding in my head that had disappeared momentarily with the excitement of finding the boutique had returned with a vengeance and was threatening to stay with me for the rest of the day if I didn’t do something about it soon.

We dash across the road to the warm looking ‘Caf Scurro’ and order strong coffee and toasted sandwiches.

“So Bette, what shall we do today? Forget about ***** and ***** toys and other kinds of debauchery for just a moment please and focus on our vacation and the fact that you haven’t got very long to show me this wonderful city”

I chew my toasted cheese sandwich slowly and thinkhmm, a perfect day in Londonnot too touristywe’ll start with a walk into the city – go see the new ‘Gherkin’ building, walk through Leadenhall Market, walk down all the old alleys and streets people who visit this city so often forget aboutmaybe visit St. Paul’s and climb to the highest point so we can see almost the whole cityor what about a picnic on Hampstead Heath? Gosh there’s too much to think about

“Erhello Bette? Babe, you’re thinking about ***** aren’t you?” Tina moans disappointedly, “I just think that we’ve got the rest of our lives to have mind blowing ***** but only a few days to see Londonit’s not that I don’t want you babyyou REALLY drive me wildI just think we’ll regret it if we don’t do what we planned”

“T, I WAS thinking about where we could go today, I was just narrowing down the possibilitiesdo you want to walk and see the sights or do you want somewhere with an amazing view where we can stay all day and relax?” I say in a mock hurt tone.
