Strange happenings have been well....... happening. I wasnt sure what order to tell these two tales in but chornoligical seems best.
So last Tues I had finished work early. Knowing that most other folk would be working I text an ex-girlfriend of mine because I knew her shift patterns occasionally match mine. I got a reply about an hour later saying she would meet if she could but was working till 9pm. Now on this particular night I had to go back into town and drop something off and expected to be done about 8.30-9ish . So I replied saying I'd be about then if she wanted to meet.
I do what I have to do and being a nice night I cant be bothered going home so head to a bar and told her where I was. I got no reply at all. Which was very unlike her. Now I wouldnt have minded if she said 'FUCK OFF!!!' she is my ex after all and there's a ton of water with no bridges for it to go under. But she didnt say anytihing. Being rude I can handle but flat out ignoring someone in my book is the worst thing you can do.
Anyway about 24 hours later. The weather was still excellent . It gets to about 8pm and not wanting to watchtv ,x-box or sit on the net all night I decide to enjoy the weather and go for a walk. I live at the start of the East end of town and I walked all the way into the west end. About 9pm and still daylight I figure I ll grab some beers then head home. BUT a game has just finished so theres no way I'd get on the train with booze. So i decide to have a cheeky few in a bar and sit out the mob on the train. I randomly picked a bar. I used to live in this area and frequented almost ever bar in this street(NOTE 60% of business on this street are bars) So I pick one randomly only to find on my arrival the ex who stood me up the previous night sitting on her own.
I seen her before she seen me . I bought a drink and went over , just as her flatmates came out the loo. They know me thru obvious reasons. The look on all their faces was fucking priceless and I could tell from the reaction I had been raised in conversation not a few hours earlier!! They of course wanted to know how I came to be here and all I could think to say was ' I jjust wanted to come here' which although was the truth sounded too far fetch to be true and I cant think of any believable lie to create to make the situation better.
Knowing how akward this situation is for everyone involved I of course decide to stay and drink as slowly as possible!! The silences were long and drawn out with none of them really knowing what to say to me. I'll be honest I loved every fucking minute of it. After 45 mins and 2 drinks I headed home knowing that my ears would be burning as soon as I was out of sight.
I did text her on my way home and got replies this time before going home and re-telling the whole tale to my flatmate in all it's glory ( Note obvioulsy I edited it for here for various reasons)
I do have another more unbelievable tale to tell but for now this ones long enough. But should you need your apetite wetting it invlolves sex , transatlantic travel , bars and me!! All my favourite things!!
