I hate blind dates; in fact, I hate going on dates full stop. It doesn’t help that the men I’ve been paired with in the past have been…boring.
Yet here I am again, a sucker for punishment, because my new blind date is already twenty minutes late. I should ask the waiter to cork my wine and call it a night.
When he walks in.
Mr Grey Shirt.
Built like a rugby player, tall, rugged, with tattoos wrapping around his arms.
Thighs that make my mouth water and my lady parts purr.
Dark hair I want to thread my fingers through.
A beard I want to feel between my…well, that'd be telling but rhymes with kegs and hopefully ends in O’s
He looks like a broody lumberjack, and I instantly want him in my garden chopping wood…Shirtless.
He’s nothing like I imagined.
No…he’s so much better.
He’s all muscle, rough around the edges, the kind of man built to ruin girls like me.
Challenge accepted.
And everything’s going well.
Until it’s not. I end up throwing red wine over his head.

Three years without a woman.
Even longer since I went on a date.
I’m better at laying bricks and scanning blueprints than making small talk.
Then a mate I’ve since lost touch with sets me up on a blind date I didn’t want to go on.
Eventually, I walk in.
She’s gorgeous.
Long dark hair, curves I can’t look away from, wrapped in a blue dress, looking like an absolute knockout.
We were getting on great…until she called me a tosser and covered me in half a glass of bargain basement house red, then left.
I’m surprised when, a year later, she walks into my local, looking better than ever.
But things have since changed, I’m a certified A-hole, and I like to go about my day without being bothered.
Turns out fate has other plans and keeps throwing us together.
But it gets worse.
Because now... she’s my new neighbour. I never close my curtains, never had to.
She gets more than a room with a view.
But I’m not on her list of favourite people.
She keeps teasing me with those full curves of hers.
