Adult Blogger: BIG TIT PATROL BIGTITPATROL was that, I thought. There was something there, in her eyes, I was sure, but I couldn't read it. It's not her reaction to Jenn and me, I thought, as her mouth had widened, lips together, eyes locked onto mine. Her unknown thoughts. Josie's unknowable thoughts.
Jenn released me and I returned into the world. Smiling, saying the right things, goodbye. But inside, slapping myself. No. No, stupid man, you are imagining it, the fantasy of a fifty year old fool. The young gazelles, those days are over.
I couldn't stop my thoughts of her, my uncertainty, the image of her eyes hovering in my mind. Our eyes had locked, her smile, was it real, was it really there?
On Monday, beyond belief, her call came, my number at the College easy for her to find. As if she knew, knew that I couldn't forget the moment between us, she said only, It's Josie calling. No reminder, no re-introduction, no playing back of the scene on the street with Jenn. I remembered it all too, remembered her, remembered her eyes, the mystery of her smile. I could picture her face in my mind, hadn't shaken it since her eyes had been on me. And here she was on the line, making conversation. What do you teach? How long have you been doing that? Do you like it? What about your spare time? My mind raced at this, wondering where she was going, why she had called. I assumed she was building up to something having to do with her friend Jenn, maybe to ask a favour. Why wouldn't she just ask?
