Sarah a final twirl she said
“You look fantastic, he’ll never be abl e to resist you”
“I hope so, not that it will do much good with him leaving on Sunday” I said, as my smile faded.
“Well, at least you tried” she said, putting her arm around me and pulling me close. “You’ll still have me” she finished. I looked at my best friend and smiled
“Thanks” I replied. Hanging everything up we settled down under the duvets and gossiped about James and Chris late into the night. Each of us harbouring our own secret hopes and dreams of a fut ure we couldn’t predict.
Saturday 30 th January, 1988.
The day dawned bright but cold, Sarah left for home at around eleven giving me ample time to write the card and wrap the present and then I could get ready. I had scanned all my favourite songs for some suitable lines in the card and had decided upon a small verse from the song “Somewhere out there” So the inside of the card read as follows:
“Dear James,
And even though I know how far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star”
I hope that we can write and stay friends and if you are ever back in Ross that we can meet again.
Love Steph (your new pen-pal)”
James had arranged to meet me outside the pool at four. As I waited outside on the steps I watched a car pull up and then James got out and walked towards me. He was wearing ripped jeans and a shirt and he literally took my breath away.
“Hi Steph, you look fantastic” he said, as I walked towards the car and with a flourish he held open the passenger door for me. I climbed in and watched as he did too. As we negotiated the streets of Ross before heading out on the A40 towards Gloucester all was silent.
“Shall I put some music on” he asked, as he reached for the car stereo.
“I’ve put some songs on a tape especially for the drive over” he finished. As the up beat sound of “Wake me up before you go-go” filled the silence between us.
“Wham” I exclaimed over the music “My favourite”
“Thought so” he finished “Go ahead, sing if you want too I don’t mind” he replied, grinning as I wiggled and danced in my seat. Various other tracks filled the journey and I found out that his favourite group was Madness.
Throughout the drive to Gloucester we chatted easily about all the songs we both liked. Once we had arrived James bought a popcorn and coke for us to share and we headed into the darkness of the theatre.
Sitting together in the dim lights as we waited for the adverts to finish James turned to me
“So what’s your favourite film?” he asked
“I love so many but it has to be Star Wars” I replied.
“Good choice for a girl, most don’t like that sort of thing” he replied, surprise in his eyes.
“Well I guess I’m not like most girls” I replied, taking a sip of coke.
“Have you seen Top Gun, that’s my favourite film of all time” he replied
“Not yet but I’ll call in and see if the video shop has a copy” I said.
“I’m sure they do, Chris works there so just go in and ask him” James said. Then the lights dimmed and we sat in the darkness. Our hands occasionally brushed as we reached for popcorn at the same time and I felt jolts of electricity race through my skin every time.
As we came out of the cinema I spotted June and her new boyfriend John in the queue waiting to go into the next screening. I could see she was surprised to see me there with James, as although I had mentioned him in passing I was sure that she thought I was lying . Walking towards McDonalds James reached out and took my hand; I didn’t want to let it go when we entered. We found a quiet table in the corner and ordered burgers, fries and chocolate milkshakes. While we waited James reached into
