“Hi, sorry to uh, distract you, but, I'm James. I’ll be keeping an eye on you. Not in a creepy way. I…uh,” and then he disappeared from the room.
I gathered up my clothes and dragged them back on, curious to know more about this stranger, well, James.
“Hey, uh, James?” I said, “Nobody told me you’d be here.”
He fidgeted and looked uncomfortable.
“This is my house. I work at the hospital, in the admin department. They needed someone with a spare room, which I see you've found.” He blushed and turned to hide his face.
I moved over to him and turned him to face me, telling him how sorry I was for just assuming I would be alone and openly enjoying myself.
“It’s okay, they don’t always tell people the messages they should, I know, I'm the admin guy,” he laughed a little and then leaned against the worktop in an easy manner.
His hair was a sandy colour, it wasn't long, the right sort of length I could see him with, though a little bit shaggy. His eyes were green, bright but a little guarded as he tried to figure me out.
“So, you really don’t know what happened to you? Why you were brought in the way you were? Who you are?” I shook my head to confirm that I had no idea, watching his eyes survey me, trying again to see any clues I held.
“Can I ask you something?” I asked him, realising at the same time he said that asking him if I could ask him something, was asking him something. Idiot. I wondered if I was like this before, “Why is your house a little, well, dismal?”
A blush crossed his cheeks and he looked down from my eyes.
“I work. A lot. I barely get any time away from that place. I don’t have time to decorate, I'm sorry if it isn't to your liking, but they've given me a few days off to help you acclimatise to your surroundings, and try and find your feet.” He shuffled around and fidgeted, “You can stay here as long as you like, honestly, it is a little lonely.”
I considered what he was saying to me, how long had it been since he had company here? Did he have a relationship going? I wondered about him as much as he did about me, I could see it in his eyes. “Do you want to go grab, I dunno, a coffee or something and see if anything comes back?” he asked, “That is, if you like coffee I mean. I don't know what with your memory and all.”
It hadn't even crossed my mind to consider the things that I may or may not like any more. “Sure, why not start by trying to figure out something small, good plan James. Just let me go freshen up and then I'm good to go now if you like.”
He nodded and I disappeared to go freshen up, quickly finishing off that orgasm that had been loitering at the edge for some time, enjoying the moment, wanting to both be quick so that I could try coffee, but slow to fulfill my deep desire to please myself. I decided on taking a middle time, enjoying myself but not so long James would think I was screwing him over. I delved back into my warm wet honey-pot and fucked myself to bliss. Quickly I changed into a different t-shirt that the hospital had given me, chuckling at the design on the front and neatened my hair.

We set off into the sun, which was less bright than it had been earlier, chatting about nonsense things, James telling me where we were going and answering as many of my questions as he could. He was a tall guy, slim, strong, you could tell that he worked out in some of his limited free time. You couldn't see the muscles that I thought may be hidden under his t-shirt through the thin jacket he had on. He told me he didn't currently have a relationship, and that he didn't know when he next would. Sex was a conversation that he had put strictly off the table though.
By the time we reached the coffee shop I was ravenous and ready to try anything and everything. James and I sat at one of the tables and he offered to get the first round of drinks and cake in, and decided to surprise me. He brought back a small latte with a sliver of white chocolate chip cake, which naturally, I devoured.
The afternoon went on to evening in this manner, trying different coffees and cakes until we were full to bursting, our hands occasionally touching, small jolts of electric through my body at the touch of another person left me wired, though it could have just been the coffee. The afternoon went on in much the same manner, though some flirting did follow. Could I see anything happening with this man? I wasn't sure. Would I let it happen if I could see it? Would I mind if it did?
We retired back to the flat for a while, dossing around and watching stupid tv, laughing at the silly things people were doing. It was then decided that it was peak time for me to go and experience a club for the first time, for what may be the second time, or the first, who was to know?

We reached the club, James negotiating with the bouncers over my lack of ID, (there may have been some bribery going on but I was already a little buzzed) because guess who managed to look under 21? Yep.
