I was in a hotel room with Richard Madden. It was certainly not my plan to end up kissing him in an alleyway after I had left work late this day, stressed from failed meetings and frustrating offers from business partners. I was headed to my apartment when I saw that my favorite pub had reopened, after being closed for renovation for quite some time.
When I entered the familiar, slightly sketchy looking place, I saw that it was almost empty. There was a stranger sitting at the bar, as well as some usuals in a corner near the front.
I went up to greet Thomas, the barkeeper, and ordered a Scotch on the rocks with a twist.
Somehow, the stranger and I got talking and it turned out that he was this famous actor, Richard Madden, relaxing after a full day of shooting a new movie in London.
I have to say, I was a little tipsy and in the mood, but boy, did he flirt back. It was almost early in the morning, when Thomas had to kick us out and Richard offered to split a cab, as his hotel was in the same direction as my apartment.
We got into the taxi and for a while, it was totally quiet. Just when he complimented me and I felt this definite sparkle between us, like we were about to kiss, the cab stopped and we had arrived. Even though I was a bit puzzled, I quickly reorientated myself and pulled myself together, thinking that this had been my last chance to ever kiss him.
We got out and I was just about to say goodbye, when he said with his dark and raspy voice, in this thick Scottish accent "You didn't think I'd let you walk away like this, did you?".
And while I was still figuring out what was happening, he pushed me to the wall behind me, and kissed me passionately, my arms pinned over our heads.
