it started innocently enough

a wild and wet night in Bradford

cinema crowd emerges, disperses

collars up, umbrellas up

dashing for cars

hands out for buses and taxis

there she is 

kissing friends goodbye

and walking

hurrying

handbag clutched tight

the car 

windscreen wipers on full

passes 

slowly

and stops

d'ya need a lift, love? where ya goin'? 

come on, jump in, you look drenched

umm....OK......thanks

his smile 

her relief

warmth

he's a nice bloke, like one of Dad's mates 

I'm Ken, well, Kenny actually

.....listening to Marvin all night long.....

like Spandau Ballet do ya?

all smiles

soon have you home

ahh, low on fuel, I'll find a garage

won't take a minute

 

where are we? I thought you said.....

.....dissolve the nerves that have just begun.....

just a little kiss, come on love,

just a little kiss for Kenny, 

don't struggle love, 

come on, relax, I'm not going to hurt you....

see, that's nice isn't it?

no no, no, please, no..........

no-one can hear you, love

just relax

don't struggle

or.....

.....why do I find it hard to write the next line?.....
