I sprang out of bed with excitement. Because, today was the day I would be going out with Brads. I had to go to office. But since boss was going out of station, I could get back home by 2 pm.

After lunch I got busy deciding what to wear. I didn’t want to give away too much on the first day. At the same time, I didn’t want to look so boring. I was a bit confused as to which bra I should wear, since I had a few with various amounts of padding. I wear a padded bra to the office generally. It makes me feel confident and peppy.

Now I didn’t want to wear one which gave a totally wrong dimension of my figure. But at the same time I wanted one that he would like. So, I wore one which enhanced my feature somewhat more than that I have. Then, I pulled up a new blue jeans and red top that wasn’t too loose. I spent some time before the mirror turning around all sides, and I was quite happy the way I looked.

Around 4 we met at the chosen place. We reached almost simultaneously. He pulled up the car a couple of minutes after I reached there. I was casually by quite nicely dressed. This is my first outing here and one after a long time. As I settled down in my seat, he extended his left hand, palm upwards; I kept my right on it as we clasped our palm and I felt he squeezed my hand gently. We looked at each other and smiled. I felt really good.

So, where do we head for I asked? Where ever you want, dear, he said. As we cracked jokes and talked nonsense, he drove out of the city for a distance.  We stopped at a roadside eatery to have tea and stretch oursevles. Then, we drove back. I guess he too was nervous during this first trip.

We drove into a pub, and settled in a quiet corner. Ordered draught beer and lots of finger chips and fried ground nuts. I didn’t know he smoked. Until I saw the packet of cigarettes. I haven’t been a smoker really, though my sister smokes. Now that I am away from home, I did buy. Initially Brads seemed to be a bit nervous to let me know that he smoked. But when I told him I too smoked occasionally, he seemed to be completely relaxed. We lit up cigarettes and drank mugs of beer. But we were careful not to have too much, bec he had to drive.

I didn’t want this evening to end. Actually wanted to just keeping on drinking and smoking… But It was a time that was well spent. Relaxed a lot, got to know Brads. He dropped me back home; and we kissed each other goodbye. I changed and within minutes of hitting the bed, with romantic of thoughts of the wonderful evening to drifted into sleep quickly.
