THREE
It had been a fantastic night, and when it was over Wenche was on a high from the concert,
which made her more chattery than usual so as they left the stadium she was happy to talk about the concert with Kurt and
Anna but there had been a particularly special memory she kept quiet about and that was when U2 got around to doing their
song One, Kurt had pulled her closer to him and sung along with Bono, singing the words into Wenche's ear, the experience
left her with a warm glow..
Now they walked down the road from the stadium and Kurt had to catch a bus going in the opposite direction from them He
told them he had enjoyed their company. Wenche was feeling a bit down that they had to part company, but it was Anna who asked
Kurt for his cell number, he only to happily give it to her and she gave him hers. Wenche wasnt sure if she should exchange
cell numbers with him.. feeling like it would be too forward and he might think she was interested in him... she was interested
in him.. she just didnt want him to know that much.. in the end the deciscion was out of her hands as Kurt's bus arrived and
he had to rush across the road to catch it before she could give him her number, now she felt a little disapointed..
But she was not going to let anything spoil her night too much, it had been magical, and she wanted to keep it that way.
*****************************************.
Two weeks later Wenche was in town shopping with Anna getting new shoes, life was back to its old humdrum self, Anna had
given Wenche Kurt's phone number.. but she could never pick up the nerve to call him despite Anna trying to persuade her too.
Anna knew Wenche was interested in Kurt but knew her friend would be too shy to approach him.. she had phoned Kurt up and
chatted with him.. and got the feeling he was definatly interested in Wenche he kept asking about her, then he mentioned he
had pictures of them all at the U2 concert and they would have to meet up sometime so they could see them... Anna told Wenche
about this...
But Wenche was a little reluctant still as much as she would have liked to see the photo's and Kurt again.. so Anna hatched
a plan to make sure it happened.. she now walked the unsuspecting Wenche along the street then stopped and exclaimed "Hey
do you know where we are?".
Wenche looked at her not sure what she meant.
"That music store across the road.. thats the one Kurt said he worked in.. C'mon lets go over and see if he is there..
we might get some discount of our cd's i remember he promised that when I talked to him over the phone..
"Oh we can't" Wenche protested feeling she would be taking advantage of Kurt.
"Don't be silly he said it would be fine, C'mon" Anna grabbed her arm and practically dragged her across the road and into
the music store.
They went inside.. it was pretty crowded with other shoppers, Anna spotted Kurt at the back near the counter, and waved
to him.. he caught sight of them.. seeing Wenche his face broke into a smile and he came over to them.
"Hey girls nice to see you" he beamed.
"Yeah just thought we would pop in and see you seeing we were in town shopping" Anna replied "Isn't that right wenche"
she nudged her friend.
"Ah yes" Wenche replied feeling her cheeks burning under Kurt's scrutiny remembering how he held her at the U2 concert
and sang to her, that memory had kept her warm in the cold lonely nights afterwards..
"I am glad you came" he told them "remember if you need discount on any cd's here just let me know" he said "Don't worry
we will" Anna replied..
"Its very nice of you to do that for us" Wenche then said smiling at him.
"For you sweetheart anything" Kurt winked making Anna standing next to Wenche nudge her and giggle before whispering in
her ear "See told ya he was interested in you".
"Ssshhh"Wenche hissed she was mortified with embarressment went to look at some of the CD's pulling her friend along with
her. They were still browsing ten minutes later trying to make up their mind which one they liked the best when Kurt came
up to them "So found anything you like?".
"we are getting there" Anna replied..
"I just realised I promised to let you see the photos I took at the U2 concert only I don't have them with me" Kurt said.
he then glanced at his watch "Look if you girls have the time I finish work in fifteen minutes I finish work and we can
go back to my apartment it isnt too far from here and you can see the photo's..
"Oh you don't have to go out of your way like that" Wenche told him..
"Its no big deal" he replied..
"Well I think its a great idea" Anna said "Of course we will come with you.. I can't wait to see the photos..
"Good" Kurt smiled "I promise I will be no more than 20 minutes".
"Fine" Anna replied we will just pass our time in looking at more CD's.
When Kurt moved away again.. Wenche frowned at Anna.
"What do you think you are doing?".
Anna looked back wide eyes and innocent "What do you mean".
"We can't go back to Kurts place.. we hardly know him remember".
Anna sighed "Oh wenche. c'mon he is a nice guy I know that much, don't be such a worrywart.. you wanna see the the photos
don't you?".
"Yes" she reluctantly admitted..
"Then there is no problem" Anna told her "relax".
Wenche sighed that was easy for Anna to say.. being in Kurt's apartment was going to be weird for her because it wasnt
only the photos she was interested in, but there was no getting out of it now she realised..
