Funny story for Master Erestor
...because I'd rather not talk of the situation at work, or the lack of sleep, so........
Scene: Victoria Station, main concourse, late at night. Waiting for the last train home (at the time I lived in an interesting part of town where regular transport didn't apply).
Good looking guy talking animatedly on the phone, pacing up and down. From the conversation he was trying to make amends to his gilfriend. Bored friend of his standing nearby and giving him *looks* every now and then.
I didn't mean to pry - couldn't help overhearing though.
Coversation goes more or less as follows:
"...I am sorry I didn't call you, I forgot... NO, I didn't forget *you*, I was on the Underground and lost track of time... I swear, it's the truth... OF COURSE I love you, don't be silly now... No, I wasn't with anybody else, why would I?? Can't wait to see you again... Will make it up to you, darling... Call you in the morning, OK? Love you... Bye..."
The minute he puts the phone down his 'friend' grabs him by the arm and hisses "You have GOT to tell her!!! I can't take anymore of this secrecy and lies!!! If you don't tell her we are OVER!!!!"
.......I made my way to the platform because I couldn't keep a straight face........:))
