Hard To Get Part 3
Bodie stood at the bar waiting to be served. Gerry, the barman was busy down the other end. Bodie leaned on the br and sighed. He really wasn't enjoying himself, which was strange. He looked back at his date,who was sitting at their table. Jill smiled and tried to look sultry. Bodie smiled back and sighed again. Gerry came heading towards him. "Oh soryy Bodie! It's chaos tonight! Well, shouldn't complain. What are you having?". Bodie fished out some money, "Lager and a G & T for the lady". Gerry looked up, "Oh? Where is she then?". Bodie pointed. Gerry whistled lowly," How do you do it mate? You always get these stunners!". Bodie took the drinks. "Stunners? Yeah......". He walked back to their table and gave Jill her drink. He forced a smile. "So, tell me more about yourself". And she did. Anecdotes from primary school to the present day, from holidays to first jobs. Bodie was able to look like he was still listening,nodding,sipping his drink. He didn't notice Jill's hand, which had worked its way to his crotch. He suddenly noticed, Jill was talking. "Didn't you mention about going back to your place for...coffee?". Bodie heard the teasing note in her voice,usually he would have been up and ready to go, but he heard himself make excuses,"Actually, I'm not feeling too clever, might go and have an early night, you don't mind?". Jill smiled, "Well, I could come with you, I could...nurse you back to health". Right, that's it, thought Bodie. "No, no. I need some sleep. I'll drive you home first".
From the safety of his car, Bodie watched Jill go inside. He heaved a sigh of reliegf. Maybe he WAS coming down with something, that was too good an offer, he never turned girls down. He shook his head. "I'll go round Doyle's, I could do with a friendly face". As he drove over, it started raining. When he reached Doyle's, it was cascading down, so he sat in the car, hoping it would ease up. He noticed a silver Mini next to his Capri, perhaps Ray was entertaining! Bodie couldn't resist being nosy!.
He made a run for the door, frantically pressing the buzzer. "Yep?" came Doyle's cheery voice. "It's me. Let me in, I'm soaked!". Doyle laughed, "Alright, alright, I'll make cocoa shall I?!". As soon as the buzzer went, Bodie was through the door. Doyle had already opened the inner one. "Come on! My linos suffering here!". Bodie rushed past him, glad to be in the warm. Doyle shut the door and turned to him , laughing. "You are in a state! Shower?". Bodie nodded gartefully. Doyle went up the stairs, mumbling something along the lines of "No hot water left soon!". Bodie grinned, Ray was such a moaner. He took off his jacket and rung it out in the sink. Footsteps padded down the wooden stairs, Bodie turned. His eyes widened. There in front of him, with shiny wet hair, clad in a slinky robe that Bodie didn't even realise Doyle owned, the silk tracing every curve, was Terri. "Hello again! You poor lamb, you got caught in it too?". Doyle shouted down, "Just trying to find a towel!". "Thanks mate, acknowledged Bodie. He was transfixed. Terri stood still, waiting for a reply....
"Yeah, yeah, I got caught too. Never know when it's going to let go". Terri nodded. "Ray and I went for a walk after we'd finished for the day, silly really, the clouds wee pretty mean then". She perched on the sofa, running her hands through her tangled wet hair. Bodie just watched. He'd seen dozens of women in his flat in this state, wearing his robe, drying their hair, yet this was different. He could watch her all day, not speaking a word, just watching....She seemed so sweet, femimne, even though she was in Ray's robe. Ray's robe. "Hold on" thought Bodie. He then heard Doyle. "Are you having this shower or what?". Bodie climbed the stair shivering. Doyle was at the airing cupboard, a towel draped over his right arm. "Just trying to find you some clothes. Luckily I had the robe here for Terri". Bodie decided to manouvre the conversation to where he wanted. "You thought I was bad! So, when did you two, er, you know? Tonight?". Doyle heard the interest in Bodie's voice and turned. "Nothing like that has happened or will happen. Terri and I are temporary partners. Anyway, she's a nice girl". Doyle went downstairs. Bodie got into the shower, mentally eaving a sigh of relief. What was ahppening? He wasn't even thining of pursuing this girl, she wasn't his type, yet there was something. He closed his eyes and in his mind he saw himself holding, feeling, kissing Terri. He felt..electrified by her. He wanted her. Badly. But how? She wasn't that type of girl. But how could he get her to notice him? He had to figure it out, he didn't enjoy feeling so..out of control, vunerable. Yet this girl was getting under his skin.....
