I could not understand what she might want she wanted to tell me, but I said come in and asked if she would like and would you like a cup of tea. She replied that she did not like tea but could she : 'No thank you, I don't like tea, but could I have a glass of orange juice instead'.
She sat down opposite me in down in the living room and pulled up her skirt so I could see her long slim legs.
'What did What do you want to tell me?' I asked.
'Oh nothing, only that you must leave your partner, and then you must come and live with me. I love you, you see, and I have been following you around for a month now, but you have never seen me.'
She sat still for a few minutes whilst I was wondering how to handle the situation. In the end I said to her:
'You have to understand that I already have a partner, so I think you ought to leave now, that will be the best thing. I don't really love my partner, but she is My partner is very jealous and might easily she will kill us both if she finds you here'. This was not true, but what could I say? I love my partner and didn't want her to misunderstand the situation. 'You must forget that you came to see me, and I shall forget that this happened. You think she went to work, but she did not. She only drove down to the supermarket to buy some food, and she will soon be back, and as I said, she might easily kill us both My partner will be here any minute, she only went to the supermarket to buy milk (this wasdn't true either, she had gone to work and would not be back till the evening) and like I said, if she sees you here.', we will both be in trouble'.
But the young lady just looked at me, and it was quite clear that she was not going to leave.
NB I didn't want her to misunderstand - Jeg ville ikke at hun skulle misforstå
