The Reveller

  As the train arrived at my destination I could’ve burst with over excitement.  I got off and waited patiently for Lucy.  The time passed and I began to worry and a thousand questions flicked through my head. What was I doing here? Why had I come? What if Beth didn’t want to see me? What if Lucy was taking the piss out of me?  I sat on a bench and put my head in my sweaty hands.  ‘Oy Robbie you twat’ came a loud cry.  It must have been the voices in my head.  I looked up to see a beautiful blonde girl.  She was gorgeous and my throat clammed up like the bad old days.  ‘Lucy?’ I shyly asked.  It was.  My heart began to beat fast and I struggled to get up.  She told me I looked far better than the picture she had seen of me.  My head grew and I felt a rumbling in the trouser department.  I stood up and she hugged me.  She smelt amazing and her perfume was logged in my memory forever.  ‘Who is Beth again?’ I thought to myself.

   We walked to her car and it was a red Fiesta van with no back windows but she had a seat in the back.  The walls were covered in flyers from clubs around the country and she took great pleasure in telling me about some of the nights she had endured.  She was very tactile and I felt very comfortable with her.  Basically she was spot on.

   She drove us to a bar for a few drinks and as we entered she introduced me to various people.  God knows why because I took no interest but she seemed to be enjoying showing me off.  She made me feel ten feet tall and she told people I was her boyfriend.  I played along because I would be proud to be.  She was so friendly to me and when all said and done we had only spoken on the phone for a few hours.  I did try to calm her down slightly but her enthusiasm egged me on.  So I was her pretend boyfriend.

   After several beers I was beginning to feel quite pissed so I took some dabs of speed.  Lucy also took some even though she was already hyper.  She was all over me and I was getting confused.  After all she was Beth’s room mate and I was Beth’s real boyfriend.  I started to play it more sedately as I didn’t want to be leading her on.  I began to ask her when Beth would be joining us.  She assured me she would be here soon.  She then kissed me full on the lips.  I couldn’t help myself and responded.  Now I was very confused.  Why would such a top class girl like Lucy be interested in me?

   I went to get us some more drinks and left her talking to a group of lads.  I felt quite jealous and wanted to get served quickly.  The speed was slowly kicking in and I was getting anxious.  The bastard barman seemed to overlook me every time and I was getting paranoid.  I kept checking on Lucy and she was laughing and joking and I got more aggressive.  I was starting to lose heart when I looked over at the door and it was Beth.  I froze.  The barman was asking what I wanted but I was transfixed.  I felt so happy and wanted to run over and hug her.  But wait.  She wasn’t alone.  She was followed in by a smooth looking guy.
