I hope you guys are having a good day. T- there's some other stuff going on with me that I'm not posting on the board. H is the only one who I can really talk to about it (although I do discuss it with my BFF she gets so angry when I do it's not very helpful).
I had lunch with H today. he e-mailed me first thing this morning to arrange the time and place- just the usual place where we used to go over the summer. That was nice, as sometimes over the summer he'd wait until 30 minutes before lunchtime to contact me.
We met, anyway, and hugged hello with a kiss on the cheek. We walked around and found a pub for lunch. it was good-natured and friendly. The conversation was easy and we laughed quite a bit. H mainly told me about his flatmates and how he has to go shopping with his Mum for Xmas presents this weekend. He wasn't looking forward to it- it's usually a 10 hour marathon and he hates shopping. He also has to drive 250 miles to get there. Actually 4 years ago she made him go shopping with her even though he had a temperature of 104 and felt like he was going to die. We talked about that a little and how it was hard to understand why she'd be like that. H had seen a job he thought I should apply for too. That was nice of him.
At one point I mentioned that I might arrange a trip to the cinema next week. He was non-committal so I changed the subject. I assume he's still with the aubergine and she's put a freeze on him seeing me, which is fine. Having said that, we also talked about how BIL split up with his long-term girlfriend and H said he was keeping busy, which is what you need to do. I guess I could have asked about how it was going with the aubergine at that point, but DB is obviously ingrained into me so I didn't.
After eating we sat and talked for a bit longer, mainly about the sociability of his flatmates and work colleagues, which seems to be a big issue for him. He looked so gorgeous and was very sweet- looking up through Prince William eyes in the way he used to when I first met him. He was a bit twitchy and kept fiddling with his hair. After lunch we walked back to the tube still talking and H gave me a hug as we said goodbye. I smiled at him and then he gave me a kiss on the cheek/corner of my mouth.
And that was it. No big revelations, but it seems like normal service has resumed. We'll see if he contacts me next week, I guess. I might text him tomorrow to ask how the shopping's going but haven't decided yet.
