It had been a wonderful evening, and I'd not had one of those in a very long time. The day had also been brilliant. True to His word, He had arranged for those of us that were free, for us to sit in with them whilst doing a midmorning interview and session. I was considering this as a career option at the time, so i had really been looking forward to that. Watching the five of them talk about their music, answering questions a playing a few songs was an unbelievable experience, and I honestly don't think I've laughed so much in two and a half hours as I did then.
We broke for lunch after that, and I found myself at a small(ish) restaurant which the band thought we'd like. They thought right, surprisingly enough (yeah, I know, not one, but five guys agreeing on something and then getting it totally right. It floored me as well.)
Somehow I ended up sitting between Him and the drummer, and no, you won't about that from me. To an outsider, all it would have looked like is a group of friends sitting down together, and although we had never met before, that's exactly what it felt like. We ate, drank, and talked about everything under the sun. Actually, that's not quite true - everyone else was talking, I just sat and watched like always. He picked up on it though, and asked me in that gentle, concerned way that He has, if everything was ok?
I think that's when it hit me that He was exactly the type of man i wanted in my life. He offered me a smile, which I returned and assuring Him that everything was fine, and of course it was. I had just realised that I was far more attracted to Him than I had first thought, which wasn't too big of a deal, because I was well aware that he was married and therefore not available. Only problem there was that I didnt know the full story.
