More Luis

March 15, 1983: Today I dragged my Tia to the parish church. My excuse was that the Legion de Maria ladies had asked me to invite him to our next meeting. True as that was, I would have gone, anyway. We got to his office and he kissed my Tia on the cheek, while I gave him the tips of my fingers. Would have died had he kissed me, too. Not now. If he ever kisses me, I want it to be on the lips.
He looked at me full in the face and I blushed. Couldn´t help it. Rushed my words out in a hurry, so I wouldn´t stammer like an idiot. Luis accepted the invitation and then my Tia, saying we had to run an errand, dragged me out of there. Good thing she did.
