The meal went without a hitch and Bodie felt totally relaxed and contented in Terri's company. Not only was she beautiful,she was funny,witty,she had a lot to say about things. Bodie asked about her family and she seemed to resent being asked about them,as she didn't want to talk about them much. All she would say is that she had an older sister and a younger brother. Bodie watched her as she spoke about them,she looked sad,the twinkle went out of her eyes. Yet she still looked angelic,enticing,alluring.... It was killing Bodie inside. He felt like a pressure cooker,ready to explode at the drop of a hat( or a dress!!). How could he win her,if she wasn't the sort to be won? Terri was watching him closely. "What are you thinking about?You look so serious",she said intently. Bodie shook his head and looked at his watch. "Me?Nothng,just can't believe how late it is,that's all", at which point Terri stifled a yawn. Bodie laughed,"Oh come on,I'm not that boring am I?!",he said. Terri looked up at him,with shining eyes..."No,far from it Bodie. Your're one of the most interesting men I've ever been out to dinner with! But I must admit I'm shattered..Bed sounds very inviting at the present time". Terri then sighed and covered her face as Bodie smiled his cheeky,heart rending smile and raised his eyebrow. "No,you know what I meant! I think I've made myself clear on that subject anyway!",she finished. Bodie collected her coat and they made their way out of the restaurant. As they walked to the car,Bodie quickly and carefully took her hand. She left it there,as they talked. "I thought you'd stood me up,I really did!",Bodie admitted. Teri laughed,"Don't be daft,I'm not that cruel! That probably isn't much of a concern for you is it,being stood up?",she asked earnestly. Bodie unlocked the Capri and opened Terri's door. "If I'm honest,no,I don't usually worry. But tonight,oh boy,I was worried. Anyway,I'm glad you turned up. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when you walked in". Terri blushed crimson,and shivered. "Thank you. You looked quite dashing youself Mr Bodie!",she replied and slid into the car. Bodie swung her door shut and nearly skipped round to his side. The journey to Terri's was quiet. Bodie was contemplating what to do next. Terri wouldn't ask him in for "coffee",he was certain of that. What would she be swayed by?Flowers?Chocolates? No,he needed to think harder.... Terri pointed to a little side road,just beyond her block of flats. Bodie stopped the car and turned to her. "Can I escort you up?",he asked. Terri laughed,"No,I'm fine,it's only two floors! Well thank you for tonight,it was lovely! And I'm very sorry for being late". Bodie leaned in,"Better late than never,look what I would have missed out on..",he said and touched her cheek. Terri flnched,and Bodie sighed and backed off. "I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I can't help it..",he looked back at her. Terri was staring at him. She took his face in her hands and Bodie felt a tingle down his spine. She kissed him and stroked his hair,Bodie could feel,smell or taste nothing else.. She was so alluring to him ,her smell was making him dizzy. He pulled her to him and started to kiss her neck. She responded,but then let him go...He looked up at her,wanting more,wanting her to hold him..but she just kissed his forehead,pushed his hair back and kissed that,then she was out of the car and was tiptoeing over the wet grass to her door..... Bodie sat in the car,watching her go. It was agony,he could still taste her....He closed his eyes,so that in his minds eye she was still there with him,touching him.... He sat,feeling even more frustrated than before. Now he had held her,kissed and tasted her....There was no going back now,he had to have her...come what may...
