Part 22
It was a few hours before Jim returned to the small country house, but i of course wanst complaining. Actually i was almost regretting having to leave. Me and Jen got along so well, i think i almost might have liked her a little more than i should.
"g'day mate... Hows about we get some sleep here tonight and go to that town of yours tomorrow?"
"That would be great Jim... thankyou so much. If it wasnt for you.. id probably be dead in the bush by now"
He nodded, patted me on the shoulder and went into the kitchen to eat. Me and Jen were watching tv even though there was nothing terribly interesting on. We actually spent alot the time talking rather than watching.
"You know Randy... I think im gonna miss you when you leave..."
"Yeah... I think so too"
"I was thinking of asking mum if i could go stay with my aunt in the city for a while... you know... go to a bigger school..."
"Really? That would be... great"
And with that... no warning or anything she kissed me. My heart began to pound and my face went hot. It was the first time id kissed anyone before. I was ashamed to admit it to the few friends i had because they'd all had girlfriends and stuff. Sure girls came onto me when they knew who my dad was, only to say they were dating the son of the infamous Paul McDermott. But she... she didnt care... She didnt even know until i told her and by then i already felt we had some sort of... connection.
We didnt say anymore after that... just curled up and fell asleep.. this time... i was smiling.
