A brief encounter

joanlawson

I had a brief encounter yesterday, and I'm still smiling about it now.

It happened at an exhibition of paintings in an art gallery in Nottingham. I stood for quite a while looking at one particularly good Lowry painting, along with several other people. When I turned to walk on to the next one, I found that I couldn't move. I was literally stuck to a man who had been standing next to me. :shock:

His coat was open, and the velcro fastening on it had attached itself firmly to my jacket. We were completely velcroed together :!: As I hastily tried to untangle myself, I couldn't help noticing that he was about 6ft tall, dark and very handsome
( quite a hunk )

At that point, I decided to play the part of the helpless female...........
( can you blame me :?: )

He laughed and said, ''There's got to be a joke in this about picking someone up!'' so I unashamedly fluttered my eyelashes as I replied, ''In an art gallery too!''

We finally managed to unvelcro ourselves, but as he moved away, he turned back and gave me a rather cheeky wink.

As it was my birthday yesterday, I was feeling as though I'm rapidly becoming rather ancient, but the man was about half my age, so the wink was a very nice boost to my morale

Perhaps I haven't lost it totally after all :!:

I think I might go and write a Mills and Boon novel now

ooooooooooooooohh - you must write a novel, sounds like a great "brief encounter".
Nottingham, my home town of years gone by. How is it all looking these days? A far different place than I remember I am sure.
I am off to find a velcro coat.......... 8)

Nottingham's certainly changed a bit over the years, but it's still a great city.

Do you think the man goes round all the art galleries trying out the velcro trick :?:
I must say that I was surprised how quickly we seemed to get connected, so to speak

There's definitely a novel in it somewhere ( even a film :!:)
.........now I'm getting carried away with all this romance

I like it, Val, especially the last one
