Captain Starlight: Date 3

Apparently, becoming an alarming giggling retard is not enough to scare off Captain Starlight. "(The man defuses bombs",Topher pointed out, "What would scare him?" Good point.) Captain Starlight invites me to stay over because he has the day off the next day and we wouldn't have to get up at ungodly hours.

I will behave, I will behave.

I said no.

I sit virtuously in lectures that morning. And find it impossible to concentrate. Hypocalcaemia? Osteodystrophy? Nada. Instead, my mind starts wandering into territory such as; how defined is the rectus abdominus on Captain Starlight, exactly?

I drive home after lectures. Eat lunch, Attempt to study. Fail.

Message to Captain Starlight: "What are your plans on your day off?"
Message reply: "Big sleep-in, post office, shopped for jeans, newspaper over coffee. I'm off to fix my Vespa shortly."
Message to Captain Starlight: "Sounds thrilling. Want to make out like teenagers for a couple of hours?"

I got a reply in about 5 seconds flat. I hop into my car, drive over, and the gate and the door is wide open when I get there.

Hello, I said, just before I am grabbed.
Mmmmmm, is the inarticulate answer, although he does have the presence of mind to remove my sunglasses. Some snogging later, he looks down at me, smiles and says, Did I say hello earlier? Hello.

I go home smelling of his cologne and fall asleep instead of studying. So much for virtuousness.

And that was date 3.
