Days of marshmallow and Carol.
Taking in a movie with Carol was a real treat. It was only our second date but the outcome was to be that I would be making my first commitment with a girl.
The first time we dated was at the local bowl and she beat me to the quick as they say. I guess when we'd done and I drove her home neither of us was in a fit state to partake in anything more than a hurried peck, each of us wanting to get ourselves showered and fresh.
So I drove back home thinking that was it. A peck on the forehead signified nothing and I wrote her off as just another maybe girl who never tool to me.
I'd had a few of those and puzzled why they dropped me after the first date, having got a date was something. I chatted with my pals who said not to worry about it, my best pal, John said all girls are fickle and not to beat myself up about it. As it was with him, I would come up trumps and before I knew it I would be well and truly ram shackled in the clutch of a new woman. The chance would be a fine thing but that chance was just around the corner, because the next day, Carol suggested that we take in the new James Bond movie at the Apollo and of course I was all of a shudder.
But when she said that she craved for the new actor Daniel Craig who played Bond I thought her concentration would be wholly on the movie and not me seated beside her hoping for some inspiration.
Carol was slim, gorgeous and blonde, had a figure of an angel and blue, deep blue eyes that glowed with her smile; especially when I picked her up at the movie house and presented her with a large box of Thornton's chocolates.
"Mm! I love Thornton's" she gushed and immediately I felt a real kiss full on my lips.
