20220203 I was with Shortbread and her sister on a public bus. We were on our way to a convention for something. On my way to my seat from the washroom, I met this young man, who was quiet and reserved more than shy. I invited him to come with us, as he travelled alone to our same destination. I introduced the man to my friends, and he took the window seat beside me.
Some time after sitting, a pale, orange cat trotted towards us. I petted it, and feeling sleepy, I rested my head on a plexi-glass divider between us. I closed my eyes and the cat licked my face. I felt a soft kiss on my lips and assumed it was the cat licking away. When I opened my eyes, I saw the cat on the man's lap. They were both looking at me.
We arrived at our destination, at a hotel, and went to our room. The man followed us, and when we got there, Cookie greeted us. There was an extra bed, so we invited the man to share the room with us. When we had settled, Cookie asked if we should go to dinner. I happily agreed and looked for my purse. I searched above the wardrobe and under the beds until I found it. Then we were off.
Along the way, we looked around as tables of boxes merchandise lined the hallway and the path to the restaurant. Something caught my eye, so I told everyone else to go ahead. I was alone with the man, and I noticed how close he was standing to me. I kept thinking about the cat and the kiss.
I confronted him, asking directly, “did you kiss me?” and he nodded.
