Oops I did it again

Today was my lunch with the englishman. I was prepared mentally and emotionally to disintegrate him with my words and shoot him down with my stare....and then I saw him. It was raining and he beamed me this smile from across the street and it was like the sun coming out of a cloud. Not to be fooled by his charming ways I swerved as he attempted to lock his lips with mine so he would only be allowed ...the cold, wind-beaten cheek. And then I gripped the envelope in my bag which contained some downloaded material on etiquette and how men are meant to behave. During one of my scorned moments, I highlighted various sections and thought it amusing to present this to him at our luncheon....until Brent rightly pointed out that I had been pushed over the edge and I could potentially come across as psychotic. So I left it in the bag. We sat down and I proceeded to order an expensive glass of wine and a pasta I couldn't finish.. and I told him it was a shame that lobster was not on the menu as I wanted to CASH IN.. He asked me when he was going to get back into my good books, as he was really not enjoying being in the dog house, and I snorted that he would need to do a LOT more than a lunch. He apologised for not being attentive enough, said he never lied and asked me why I decided to see him if I was so angry. I said " Free lunch and I don't know what you want from me???" and he said "Well I know that when I met you, I had to know you. And I'm not prepared to let you go until you get to know me". Small obstacle of a girlfriend though (which he maintains is casual despite going to Noosa with her next week)...I fired all sorts of questions at him and felt like Oprah on speed...but then thought....why do I care so much?? Would a man like this persist if it was purely sexual and he could have anyone? Could there be something more? I just don't feel I'm ready to right it off yet. He's a bastard (which I've told him) but there's this unique thing he has that I've never known in another. And I'm a little curious. I know there's potential for getting hurt...but there is when you are even in the most loveliest of love states. And he did notice I had my hair colour done which won him points as not even family or friends have noticed! So we walked out into the rain and said goodbye ....and he darted under my umbrella and we pashed in the middle of Hardware Lane! MAN...I hate that this feels like a movie, as it's had a lot of those moments where you get a bit swept away and forget that you are angry and meant to be resistant to slippery little well-rehearsed, attractive sods like him. IT IS SO HARD. And it sort of feels like that whole Sybil Sheppard/Bruce Willis thing in Moonlighting. Well except he's a bit more explicit and upfront about things rather than building the sexual tension. Why oh why is not more simple or clean cut? I must love the challenge as I think I'll certainly have one on my hands!! At least life is never dull in a damsel's world.
