I got home safely with the girl from the video store and our bags full of VHS tapes. I looked around outside. The coast was clear. I put the dog on guard duty with the promise of some pizza.
It was okay for me to be out walking the dog but the girl would've been at risk of being abducted and thrown into a workhouse. She took one look at my entertainment centre with the VHS player and CRT TV and she felt immediately at home! I was glad she was able to take her mind off of the world for a little while.
We got right to it and watched loads of movies on VHS. Many she hadn't seen, many I loved rewatching and the occasional one I hadn't seen either. We got cosy and close on the couch. One thing led to another. She leaned in on me and kissed me. We held and kissed for quite a while.
Then we ordered pizza. It was amazing we both had the same favourite toppings! We ate happily and the dog was great company too, getting the odd bit of pizza and being petted.
We watched videos long into the night. It was calm and no one was outside, except for the odd patrol car roaming the streets in the distance. Otherwise we were in our own world. A world where we could be ourselves without anyone telling us what to do.
