I graduated from Leeds with a 2.1 in Computer Science. After the graduation ceremony and my last return visit to Mrs W's, I never went back. We did keep in contact via Christmas and Birthday cards. But once I was back home, I met up with...
THE AGAIN WOMAN (1981 ~ 21)
Before finishing Uni, I had applied for a number of jobs near home and went for several interviews. I'd moved back home with mum and dad, being pampered with mum's cooking. By the time Friday came round, I met up with some old friends again and off we went to The Kings Arms pub.
Halfway through the second pint, I hear, "Joe, you're back!"
Turning I see Chrissy, and in an echo of her return from America, I opened my arms and shouted back, "Chrissy, my front!"
She came over and gave me a big hug, then slapped my arm, "When did you get back and why didn't you let me know you were home?"
"Sunday. Just busy I guess." I answered, "And I hear you're a working girl now, in the nicest possible way, that is!"
Somehow, even though I was with a couple of lads and Chrissy was with a couple of her friends, we seemed to spend the evening chatting together. We fell back together into our friendship so easily! As the evening ended, we agreed to meet up at hers the next night. Which we did.
Sat in the front room, as we had a few years before, we talked and laughed. She'd been in and out of a few relationships in the time I'd been away at Uni but wasn't seeing anyone at that moment. I gave her a potted history of my time at Leeds but excluded my "adventure" with Mrs W. Leaving that night, I held her face and kissed her full on on the lips.
"Nice to see you again, Chrissy." I said as I turned away.
In another echo from years past, she replied, "Thank you, kind sir. I look forward to seeing you again."
Chrissy worked during the week, but telephoned to say she was having the Thursday off work and if I wasn't busy to come over. I wasn't busy at all! So over I went to Chrissy's house about 10:30.
We were sat in the kitchen, having a drink of tea, when she asked,
"So, what was the sex like at Uni?"
