Promising Encounter

I met Helen on the bus the night before last. Right on the top of the bus. I was in the front seat, on the left, my favourite position, and she came and sat on the front seat on the right-hand side. I noticed a figure out of the corner of my eye, and I noticed too it was a female figure, so I wasn't bothered. We travelled that way for several stops. Then I noticed her turning her head to look at me and so I turned my head to look at her. 'Helen!' 'Lucy!' And we laughed and hugged. We haven't seen each other since we were at school. I went back to Helen's place and we talked through the rest of the night. I stayed over, going to sleep as the sun was rising. As it happens Helen has this dishy brother, Matt, and that was one reason I was happy to keep talking and to stay over. I am seeing Helen and Matt again in a few days. I wonder what will happen.
