All mouth and no trousers

Speaking of it being probably fairly clear what someone wants, yesterday Bonnie got back in touch. Out of the blue.

She occasionally likes my pictures on Instagram, and when I’d liked one of hers — from her kinky, erotic account — she sent me a text.

Just a simple Hey :) How are you?

I responded I was good, asked how she was, and when she replied I enquired why she was a bit “meh.” It turns out she’d had a death in the family.

Unprompted she suggested we should catch up soon, and due to her bereavement said she was totally up for going out and drinking heaps.

And when I say it is fairly clear what she wants, I mean that I think what she wants is attention, maybe to be desired. I told her once she was all mouth and no trousers, meaning all words and no action. She likes to flirt but she actively pulls back from anything happening.

Which is perfectly fine. I know where I stand and will adjust my expectations accordingly — if we do even meet again.

What started as a tale of love, loss, infidelity, became about what came next. Either I’m writing something worth reading or I’m doing something worth writing.
