according to Paul we were 10 minutes from reaching our destination. I could not, however, ignore my bladder any longer so I decided to make my way into the train's restroom.
it was unisex, as I expected, but decent and private.

making my way out I bump into Joe who's waiting outside the sliding door.

"Oh, you're awake"
"yeah, I just came to wash my face and stretch my legs" he walks inside.
I lean on the doorway observing how languidly he splashes water against his radiant face.
"would you mind closing the door?" he asks as he wipes his face dry
"Oh sorry. I'll leave" I say embarrassed
"No, just close the door" he says as he turns towards me.

He grasps me by the arm and sways my body against his. Now he slowly wraps his arms around me and leans his face into mine so I can feel his breath against my lips (this sends shivers down my spine). I clutch his back, there's an aura of sexual tension between our bodies as we are gazing at each other.

At last. He surpasses the gravity between us by kissing me ever so passionately running his hands up my back until he reaches my neck. He then begins to, along the rhythm in which he is kissing me, run his long slim fingers through my hair.
He is the most enticing and experienced kisser I have ever set my tongue in, he lights my soul and ignites my body.
We continue kissing until he reaches down and takes a grip of my thighs to pull me up, I embrace his body with my legs.
He sets me on the sink, I rest my hands on his shoulders and play with his hair as he caresses my legs and begins to kiss my neck slowly. I let out a sigh while throwing back my head in pleasure, this amuses him so he lets out a small laugh as he bites my neck. By now he is pulling up my shirt, its gone, he places one gentle hand against my breasts while biting my lip and then the door slides open.

in unison we turn towards the door to see Piper and Paul staring back at us. Both of their faces are colored red, Joe immediately places himself in front of me as if to protect me from being exposed again.
Piper lets out a nervous laugh "I was just leaving" then swiftly walks away.
"uh we were just looking for you cause, you know, we arrived. I mean, the train, it stopped." "yeah, we noticed. thanks" replies Joe.
Paul winks at him as he leaves but before doing so he says "keep at it brother, you're doing great!"

We look at each other, Joe's cheeks are flushed, then we laugh. I put on my shirt, he carries me off the sink then intwines his arms around me from behind like he did the first night we kissed (which thinking about it now, seems like ages ago). We then stroll out of the train together.

Joe and I went for lunch afterwards, we held hands and shared ice cream like middle-school lovers. Now we're arriving at my residence building.

"So this is where you live?"
"yea, you can come up if you want. you could even spend the night. I mean, you know, we could watch movies and like do other stuff."
"stuff huh?" he leans into me with a smirk as he says this.
"yes, stuff" I give him a wink.
"I would love to, my darling, but maybe another day. I have to meet Mick and Paul, we need to talk about finding a new drummer."
"Oh. a new drummer? what about Terry?"
"eh, he wasn't too interested."
"that's unfortunate, I'm sorry. But will you then accept my invitation to dinner? As a way to thank you for last night."
"I've told you, you owe me nothing. I don't want you spending your money on me."
"Please, let me court you, please" I pout my lips like a stubborn child.
"If you sing for me, I'll accept."
"Alright!" I exclaim excitedly "I'll sing for you the night we have dinner, which will be..."
"tomorrow? I don't have anything going on tomorrow night."
"tomorrow sounds fine." I am smiling from ear to ear.
"ok, I'll pick you up at, 6pm. And then, I might even spend the night if you're a good girl."
"Oh I'm always a good girl."
We kiss one last time, both of us smiling as we kiss, he then hugs me, pecks my cheek and wishes me a good night.
I run up the stairs and into my flat in thrill and excitement for tomorrow evening. I feel my heart beating in my chest to the rhythm of David Bowie playing in my record player, I'm jumping and dancing to Moonage Daydream like a crazy 10 year old.
"I'm in love! I'm in love!" I throw myself on my bed, sigh with joy and close my eyes to imagine of how perfect tomorrow will be.
