Chapter Ten

July 1994

Ten minutes later, Kay stood in front of Kent’s house and pressed the bell. She had never been to his house before, but tracking him down hadn’t been too difficult. Before she had left home that morning she had looked his address up in the telephone directory. Kent was not a very common name and there were only about a dozen in the book. She knew his father’s name was David and there was only one with the initial ‘D’ in the book so it had to be him.

When he opened the door she could see that he wasn’t fully dressed, just as Glen hadn’t been. He didn’t open the door fully, keeping his lower half behind the door and peering around it. That was fair enough, it was still pretty early in the day by teenage standards. She remembered that she rarely got up before lunchtime at that age if she didn’t have to.

Kay could see enough of his top half to like what she saw. He was clad in a Blur T-shirt which showed not only his good taste in music, but also his athletic frame.

Casting her eye appreciatively over him, she marvelled at how young and slim he was compared to the middle-aged boozer she had been speaking to in the pub the night before. She had forgotten just how good-looking he had been when he was young.

“Kay!” he exclaimed, just as surprised to see her as Glen had been. “What are you doing here?”

“Hi, Richard,” she said. “Can I come in for a coffee and a quick chat?”

“Of course,” he said, before adding, “The only thing is, I’m in my underpants. Can you hang on here a minute while I finish getting dressed.”

“That doesn’t bother me,” she said suggestively. “You don’t have to leave me standing on the doorstep. I’m a big girl now.” She enjoyed the irony of this statement, but it was of course lost on the young Kent.

He blushed, his shy and hormonal teenage self not yet experienced enough to deal with such blatant flirtation.

“Come on in, then,” he said, letting go of the door. “I’ll be back in a minute.”

He scampered up the stairs in his kecks before she was barely over the threshold. Kay couldn’t resist stealing a peek as he went, and noted he was wearing briefs. That was interesting. Both Glen and Alan had preferred boxers. Could you tell what a man was like from his choice of underwear? Kay was always having these random thoughts.

She heard the unmistakable hiss of a deodorant upstairs and the running of a tap before he rushed back downstairs, only a couple of minutes after he had left. There was a blob of toothpaste on his T-shirt. Bless him – he was making an effort.

“How about this coffee, then?” she asked, unable to resist adding, “Preferably without any laxatives.”

This comment was also meaningless to this version of Kent, who just looked at her with a perplexed expression on his face. She
