In order to be civil about it we arranged to meet up with Judy and her college friends at the famous Bull and Bush pub in Hampstead.There were about t...enty of them and me and Anne sat with Judy and a couple of her close friends. Nothing special happened until just before closing time when out of the blue Judy asked Anne if I could escort her to a meal the following night because her friend Una had got a date with a boy she had been chatting with and she didn't want to go alone. Anne saw no. It went this way: Carol Anne Anderson, I want you to know that you are the most gorgeous, sexy woman alive. I’ve waited until I got past my 18th birthday to send you this message. I don’t want it written off as the ranting of callow teenaged mind, which is not the case. Please don’t try to trace this e-mail, I’ve made sure that it’s sent via blind addresses and is not traceable. What I do want is for you to think of what I’ve said, think of it all week long. Let it be your mantra this weekend. I decided with my new place so close by, that I would become more pro-active.I had some cards printed, which are just a soft watermark picture of me with the words, ‘Candy Fullerton XXX,’ in pink and an e-mail address. I was pretty much all set and ready for action, but the first encounter in my new apartment came as a result of a family and friends get-together. It was the occasion of my parents' neighbours twenty-fifth wedding anniversary party when an opportunity presented itself that was. My thoughts come back to this woman that has become so central to my immediate thoughts.Now she’s heading towards the counter. Not remembering anything that I might have a need of, I head in the same direction. With my mind in a blur, I laugh at myself, both for the fantasies racing through my head, and for the realization that I had almost forgotten the reason for my initial trip here. This woman has become more of a fixation than I had thought possible.We arrive at the same instant. I defer.
