As we left Bob and Katie, a revelation had just occurred…
They lay there in to each other's arms, gazing across the bed. Katie pulled away slightly, and, looking crestfallen, Katie looked Bob in the eyes and spoke;
"Bob, I have a confession…"
Bob looked at her, worried that she was going to tell him she wasn't 19 after all.
"Go on Katie…"
"Please don't hate me, but this wasn't a random thing. I've seen you driving the night buses, I've seen you around on the estate. This seduction was planned. I've wanted you for months, and this seemed just the way to get you. I started taking the pill a month ago, in anticipation of this day. I've been asking other drivers about you. I really was a virgin, and the Santa fantasy was real, but me being stuck in London precisely when you came along, it was no accident. Thank you Bob. Thank you for being so kind to me, and thank you for not rejecting me. Merry Christmas Bob."
"I… I'm flattered Katie, I really am. That's the best Christmas present anyone has ever given me. I guess the only question now, is where do we go from here…?"
The question hung in the air.
"Where do you want to go Bob?" Asked Katie.
"I'd like to see where this leads, but right now, I'd better be heading home. I'm working Boxing Day night, starting at nine pm. If you fancy a ride-along, be at the bus stop opposite the shops at half past eight, deal?"
"Deal!" She almost shouted.
After the confession, she was petrified that he was going to walk out in disgust, but this, THIS was exactly what she was hoping for, and so much more!
Christmas day was spent with their respective families, although Bob and Katie were only there in body. Their minds were away with the fairies, whirling with the events of the previous night, and the possibilities the future might bring. And so came Boxing Day. At 6pm, Bob could take it no longer. He had to see her! Having neglected to exchange numbers, the only choice he had was to turn up at her doorstep. Unexpected, uninvited. Five minutes later, and trembling like a schoolboy, he rang the buzzer. Inside, Katie jumped at the unexpected intrusion. She was sat on her sofa wearing nothing but her Winnie the Pooh pjs, thinking about what to wear to meet Bob. Apprehensively, she picked up the entryphone.
"Hello? Who's there please?" She enquired.
"It's me, Bob, I couldn't wait until later, I needed to see you now" 'Shit', he thought, 'how desperate did that sound?'
