2pm- Must start waking up before lunch on day off, probably on list of resolutions, will try find it later to see what else failing at. Checked answering machine, 1 from Harry and 1 from Leo. Harry first.
"Just calling to see if you wanted a lift tonight, you're probably still asleep, lazy arse." Tonight? Wracked brain. Mind filled with thoughts of forgetting big conference/lecture/other important thing. Checked calendar, had nothing marked in. Looked through papers, still nothing. Phone rang. Julie from lab inviting to drinks tonight.
"Sorry, Jules, already arranged something," For once, not a lie, though don't know what it is I'm doing.
"No problem," Very quick phone call really. Looked down to see the red light flashing, realised forgotten to check Leo's message.
"Hey, it's Leo," Don't understand why he feels need to say his name every time he leaves message, have explained about caller ID before. "Just wondering if you wanted to come round for dinner tonight with me and Janet," Another person would have to say no to because of unidentified plans with Harry. "Oh, and Harry too," Mystery solved.
7pm- Phoned Harry about timing, said he'd come at 7:30pm. Didn't mention initial panic at his message, not worth the teasing. Watched V. Long Engagement, which is actually V. long film. Rushed to get ready, now half hour early. Will have quick go on minesweeper.
7:45pm- Late. Can't find bag, swear left in kitchen. Have to go without it, means no mobile or make up. Can borrow Janet's if see emotional story on news and mascara runs.
9pm- Harry didn't believe was actually ready early, neither did Leo. Janet didn't either, but no teasing from her, so not offended. L and J going away for Valentine's, realised haven't had proper Valentine's date in 2 years. Feel like Miss Havisham.
11pm- He kissed me. On lips. Full on snog. Right on doorstep. Feel faint.
11:53pm- V. confused. Hadn't touched alcohol all night (v. responsible, knew he was driving) so he was not drunk. But kissed me anyway. V. confused. Should talk to him tomorrow, maybe. Normally phone best friend in situation like this, but can't for obvious reasons.
