Still, she was happy.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, much more was imbibed and eaten and I had some fun converations with many different people.<\/p>\n<p>By 12:30am I was feeling a bit bushed so decided to go home.<\/p>\n<p>So,<br \/>\nI said my good-byes to my friends and then went over to Sam and told her<br \/>\nI was going now. She got up, smiled, came over to me, hugged me tight, released,<br \/>\nhugged me tight again and kissed me on the lips. I was a little taken aback<br \/>\nby this.. I wasn&#8217;t expecting a kiss. Still, it was very nice of her to give<br \/>\nme one. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>She then asked if I thought it a good idea if my friends<br \/>\nwould organise a dinner at their house, as I&#8217;d already had them and Sam over<br \/>\nto my house (Sam had to drive). I said yes, that&#8217;d be very nice.<\/p>\n<p>Then I left.. <\/p>\n<p>It<br \/>\nwas all very strange. During the whole night I&#8217;d only spoken to Sam for a<br \/>\ntotal of about 10 minutes. Admittedly, when she had introduced me to other<br \/>\npeople (in a drunken way) she had introduced me as &#8220;This is Steve, he&#8217;s a<br \/>\nvery, very nice man.
