That perfect meeting.

There's no other way to start other than to say how me and Scott met. Even though I was 20 and had already lived my life quite happily and successfully (in my opinion) until that time, When I met Scott a man who will always be my first and a great love of my life it changed dramatically. A time in my life no matter what with the good times and the bad I wouldn't ever change. I don't have time for regrets.

After a gig in the Arc in Edinburgh, Gordon and Karen in the front and me, Scott and Calais in the back with me in the middle. I'd known who Scott was already of course but we'd not really spoken. Well in that journey back home when Gordon took a wrong turn to East Lothian because he was following the wrong car, The insults were flowing in the backseat which quickly became me and Scott's way of communicating. The banter carried on back in the pub much to the disgust of my boyfriend at the time who obviously saw the connection between us and stormed off in a huff.
I never saw Scott for another couple of months properly except maybe during smoke breaks at the gigs but I'd not really thought about him as I was going through a painful breakup with my then boyfriend.
It was Karen that set it up. I know she went between us and passed on each others numbers and he finally texted me one night. After quite a few exchanges, Mine being carefully constructed with the advice of Gemma and Grant he finally asked me to go for a drink that week. It was the best date I've ever been on. We went to Wetherspoons and I'm sure it was a Tuesday or Wednesday night so not exactly an exciting night but it was brilliant. As soon as we sat down we started talking and didn't stop all night. We had the same sense of humour and just bounced off each other. Every time I went to the toilet I'd hide under the table or move so he'd be panicking when he came back in. He texted me after he dropped me off that night to ask if I wanted to start seeing him, Of course I said Yes!
