We met in the dining room, at lunchtime; he sat opposite and did not take his eyes off me ...

Approaching me, he smiled and asked:

- What is a cute Jewish creature doing at the factory and why not in a white coat, but in a black robe?

- I work in a thug place, and you, as I noticed in the face, somewhere in the welding shop ...

His face was smeared with something black with traces of the mask removed ...

- My name is Fima, and you?

- Lina, it's nice to meet you, but I don't have a guy to pester, he serves in the army and I'm waiting for him!

- I agree to friendship, it was nice to meet you - and he broke into a contented smile ...

We walked together from the canteen and chatted about different things. Fimka, without thinking for a long time, invited me to go to the cinema somehow and said that I had no doubt that this was a purely friendly event, he would not be alone, but with a friend.

- Well, let's wait and see, we get off somehow.

He took me to my site and went to his shop.

Once, when I left after work, I heard a familiar voice near the entrance ...

- Are you not tired today? Maybe go to the movies at 7:00? Well, if you have other plans, then ...

- No, there are no plans, the evening is absolutely free ...

- Then see you at 6:30 on Mikhailovsky, under the clock?

- Well, I persuaded ...

When I got home, as always, I lay down for a while, I’m not used to getting up at 6:30 am, by five in the evening, sleep cuts down ...

But today I could not sleep, I thought what to wear, although what's the difference, you don’t need to undress in the movies.

It was December in the street, but I didn’t want to wear retuzas, as it was very Babian, I wore thin panty hoses, a sweater, a skirt and boots on a decoy, and of course my favorite black coat, with a hood lined with some kind of fur.

My mother caught me at the door and saw me in nylon tights, forced me to wear woolen tights (shame, paint over, remembering); an attempt to resist was a waste of time ...

I was very punctual and was at the appointed place minute to minute; Fimka apparently came earlier and it was noticeable on his nose that he was rather cold.

- Hello, I'm glad to see you ...,

His big eyes shone with joy and admiration, perhaps he doubted that I would come ...

- They ran, Oleg has already bought tickets and is waiting for us at the cinema.

We went with a quick walk along Mikhailovskaya and after 10 minutes were on the spot. Fimka looked around and saw his friend, waved his hands.

To call such a friend with you was just silly, the dream of any girl, karouky handsome, dressed with all sorts of brand ...

- Meet, this is my friend - Oleg, -

I stretched out my hand and spread a smile quietly,

- Lina, it is very nice to meet you ...

Before the beginning of the session we had a little time and we went inside and immediately went to the hall; we had good places in the center, I sat down and the guys sat on opposite sides of me ...

I don’t remember what movie we watched, I only remember that both friends looked at me, although Fimka spoke, Oleg has a girlfriend, though she is studying in another city ...

Then it was more fun, I felt that on one side or the other, they tried to stroke my knees ... (I thought with horror that tights would be found now) I took their hands and joined in a handshake; we laughed together and ironing of the knees stopped ...

After the end of the film, we went for a walk, it was cold, but when we walked fast we were not cold, our cheeks were burning from the cold, the guys joked and teased me, holding our hands on slippery katochk tracks ... In the end, we fell together in the snow. ..

In two hours I was driving home in a trolley bus, pleased with the fun time ...

Our walks and going to the cinema became my favorite pastime, we met almost every day, sometimes instead of Oleg Sasha was, and sometimes we spent time together.

It was approaching the new year, and we made plans for a new year to meet; Oleg offered to come to his house, his parents went to friends and the apartment was at our complete disposal. Everyone liked the idea; I was looking forward to a fun party.

On December 31, at about 8 pm, we met with Fimka and went to Oleg together ... Oleg's mother prepared a fabulous table, there was a lot of great wine, brandy and champagne; I already knew that I had to drink carefully, because alcohol deprives me of control over my behavior ... Well, as you guessed after a glass of wine and toast for the new year with champagne, good girl Lina turned into a little devil. Fimka immediately realized that his hour had come and was no longer hiding trying to hug me and kiss me ...

And then I decided that I didn’t want to be with him at all, because, as I didn’t like him at all, as a man (having completely forgotten my Leonchik's intoxication); but I liked Oleg and his girlfriend could not come and he warmed up with alcohol began to flirt with me ...

- Link went to the entrance to smoke, - Oleg offered me, - well, all of them to hell ...

- but I do not smoke, although I’ll just make you a company ...

We went out to the porch and went down a half-flight, sat down on the windowsill; it was cold and Oleg put me on his knees, he never reached smoking, our lips met with a passionate kiss, how long it lasted, hard to say, we were interrupted by Fimka’s voice:

- here you are, - he froze in mid-sentence, seeing what we are doing ...

Instead of stopping, I wrapped Oleg's neck around and half-whispered:

- we are kissing here, and you disturb us ...

Fimka, somewhat sadly said:

- well, as you finish, come, everyone is waiting for you ... Let's dance, there is a cool Mouzon.
..

I jumped off Oleg's knees and pulled him upstairs to dance.

Smokey, Abba, Celentano, all my favorite songs ... "Happy New year, happy new you ..." I wanted this night not to end ...

I danced with Oleg, my arms wrapped around his shoulders, he gently kissed my neck, and Fimka sat at the table and drank cognac ... I can only imagine what thoughts were in his head ...

Suddenly the doorbell rang, Oleg went to open; it was Marina, his girlfriend, still came ... well, that's all Cinderella, the ball is over ...

Now my mood turned bad and I immediately wanted to go home, I started to get ready and Fimka wanted to see me off, but I said that I would get there myself, it was dawn outside and the trolley buses were already going ...

A few days later I ran into Fimka at the plant, he was out of sorts and said that he didn’t expect me to do this and that I would never wait for my boyfriend from the army ...

Then his words came true, I received a farewell letter from Lyonchik ... Then there were others and another, marriage, child ...

I met with Fimka two years later, the offenses were behind, he was glad to see me, said he was married and had a daughter, that he would never forget me and if I became his wife, he would carry me in his arms all his life. ..

When I wanted to write this story, I wondered where Fimka is now, how she lives; The search was not long, I found it on OK. ru and learned that he is in Israel and already twice grandfather, but still loves and remembers me and that New Year's Eve - 1984.
