The initial comms were excellent, I 'phoned her a couple of days in advance and she was chatty and friendly enough and , when I asked her if she wanted me to book though AW for the feedback, she said that would be nice. Once I'd put it through she e-mailed to thank me, sent the postcode and exact location of her flat, and said she'd confirm the booking once I was there on the day. Maybe that should have rung an alarm bell but, as we all know, different girls have different ways of handling the various parts of the lead up to the actual meeting so I didn't think too much about that.
I confirmed early on the morning of the booking and received a text back asking me to let her know when I was 15 minutes away.
The train was delayed slightly and I texted to keep her in the picture . I got to her place, which is less than five minutes walk from the station, about ten minutes late and as the door was not locked got into the foyer without needing a code. I texted, then rang to say I was there but didn't get a reply to either . I hung around and tried again but to no avail so I meandered round the shops for half an hour or so until it was time for the next train home.
No communication whatsoever and to say I was pissed off would be an understatement but, undeterred, I rang a certain Polish girl in Sheffield who I've been wanting to see for some time now and secured a booking for the next morning. Nothing more from Kloe so I put that down to bad manners and to ( my ) experience.
Feeling on top of the world the next morning I sent the usual confirmation text to La Poley and received a very warm one back saying she was really looking forward to it.
I'm not a mobile phone addict and only ever use one for punting so I don't keep mine switched on. However, approaching Sheffield station I switched it back on to retrieve the postcode for this morning meet and was horrified to find a text apology for not being able to meet as her boyfriend was whisking her off to London as a surprise Valentine's Treat and offering me a £10 deduction on any future visit to her ! At this point I was looking round for Jeremy Beadle !! but, shrugged and muttered to myself something about a lovely sunny day and love's young dream ( honest guv ! ) and caught the next train home.
Not long after arriving home I received a text from La Poley saying I was a bounder and a cad ( or some such thing ) and that I'd wasted her time ! Totally baffled I asked if she was in London and enjoying themselves. Reply was another tirade so I asked her what was going on and what did she expect when she'd cancelled due to the Valentine Trip. She told me not to send any more lies as she was busy with serious clients . Now I was completely at a loss to work out what was going on. Then ------------ I checked the message in question and , going into the Details tab,then checking the number, found out it was from Kloe's number in Leeds !!!!
I think you'll agree that, after a total two days of radio silence, the last thing that would have crossed my mind was that she'd send a message like that - or one at all. I tried to explain to the Polish girl but I could understand how such a bizarre coincidence
would be beyond comprehension and, understandably, she didn't reply.
Needless to say, after wasting £35 in train fares, I won't be using my £10 voucher with Kloe .
