26I sit in a pub garden with my two best friends Emma and Sarah. Sarah stands up and asks Emma and I if we would like another drink. We both Nod. I turn and look up to another table in the garden and I see you. Your tall, well built, muscular but not overtly so, athletic not overweight and handsome, very handsome. You smile back as our eyes meet. I can't help but turn away as I feel my face flushed. Emma notices and smiles. Emma playfully nudges me "He's hot! Go and chat to him." I chuckle and smile at Emma. "shut up Em!" But I can't help but glance back over to you. Emma leans in, eyes twinkling. "Come on, you’ve been hiding long enough. He’s exactly your type tall, broody, and probably owns a dog!" I laugh and shake my head "You don’t know my type anymore." Emma raises an eyebrow. "I do. And he’s standing ten feet away, looking at you like you're his type." I look back at you, and sure enough, you're still there. Not staring, just, present. A quiet confidence. You're talking to someone, but your eyes drift back to me now and then, like you're hoping I'll look again. I take a sip of my wine, trying to steady the flutter in my chest. Emma smirks. "Fine. But if you don’t talk to him, I will, and I’ll tell him you’re a yoga instructor who rescues hedgehogs." I burst out laughing, nearly spilling my wine" No! Don't you dare!" Emma replies "And you’re stunning. Go remind yourself of that." Before I realise Emma stands and struts across to your table. I sit still, mortified but laughing my heart starts thumping..
