Friday 28th November

I think I've fooled them all at work into thinking I'm over Jack, Owen takes every opportunity till to try and wind me up about Jack, I do my best to ignore him. He's not called me Tea Boy since I thumped him, so that was a good move it seems. Toshiko is the only one I've told about David, she says she's happy for me, that it'll do me good. I've not told her that I still think of Jack when I'm alone, I've not told anyone about the weird feelings I get that make me think Jack keeps dying, I'll keep that to myself and that shirt I threw away before my first date with David, I have to admit I took it out of the bin and it's under my pillow.

I went out on a third date with David last night, like the other two we just went to the pub. This time however we went to a different pub nearer to where David lives and I walked him home. He invited me in for coffee and I hesitated, I had a feeling if I said no I wouldn't see him again. I know I'd been keeping him at arms length, I decided to throw caution to the wind.

I found myself staring at him last night as he made the coffee, he's not my usual type at all. Not that I had a type in men before I met Jack, but in general. He's about my height, but very slim, very blonde and has pale green eyes. Even with girls I never really went for blonde's. He made the coffee and we sat on the sofa with the TV on, I felt a little like I shouldn't be there. We just sat talking for a long time, till he lent over and kissed me.Not the soft, tentative kisses that signaled the end of the last two dates, but hard and passionate. And I let him kiss me, I responded. For a while all thoughts of Jack had been kissed from my mind, we kissed, snogged like there was no tomorrow.

Until his hand moved to my crotch, anyone would think he's poured hot coffee on me I jumped so high. That I wasn't ready for, I had never slept with a man other than Jack and when he put his hand there my brain flooded with memories of Jack touching me. I felt tears welling up in my eyes, I know he saw them as I mumbled an apology about it being me and not him and fled his flat. I ran the short distance home and threw myself on my bed, dragged Jack's shirt from under the pillow and for the first time in weeks, I cried myself to sleep.
