Worse thing that’s ever happened?
Well, I don’t think it can get much worse than this…
I hadn’t intended going out that night but a couple of friends phoned me and invited me to a Karaoke night they were going to and given the choice between a few bevies and ruining a few songs and a boring night in watching the box, I choose to go out.
The pub was a bit quiet when we first got there, but soon livened up and Lisa, one of the friends that had invited me out was soon up giving it some on the dance floor to some hard rock with a really attractive woman. When the music quietened down Lisa came over and asked if her new friend could join us as she was being hassled by a bloke sat by the doorway and I said yes with a massive smile on my face, she was gorgeous.
We got talking - She was 46, (10 years younger than me), and had a daughter the same age as my youngest, 20, (her only having left home the month before, me having brought her up on my own since she was 3), she’s travelled a lot in her life as I had, we got on like a house on fire.
My name was called, one of my songs had come up and as I reached for the mike and turned round I saw that she has followed me up and grabbed the other mike, she had got up and was doing my song as a duet with me. The song was Love Me Tender and did we banged it out. I’m not a great singer, but not one of those everybody moans at, but she was brilliant, us staring into our eyes as we sang our hearts out. It turned out that she had spent the past 5 years as a holiday resort host in Spain singing on stage regular and what a natural she was.
As the night wore on we got cosier and cosier with each other and towards the end of the night, just as I was drumming up the courage to invite her home with me, she asked me if it would be OK if she came home with me as she was worried the guy who had been hassling her earlier would follow her home, of course I said yes.
Once we left the pub it took us quite a while to get a taxi, but that gave us a great opportunity to explore several shop doorways and for me my miss spent youth as we almost ripped our clothes off in the street we were both so hot.
Eventually, we got back to my flat and after climbing the 4 flights of stairs and I was opening the door when bump, my new lady friend having slithered to the floor beside me.
I managed to get the door open, pick her up and take her to my bedroom where I laid her gently on my bed where I checked her pulse & breathing. Thank the gods, she was alive, her breathing shallow but steady and her pulse regular, but sods law for me, what looked like an even better ending to the night than the night had been so far seemed thwarted by drink.
I put her in the recovery position in the bed, put a bucket by the side of the bed and tucked her in before going into my living room where I put some tunes on, poured myself a dram of Scotch, skinned up a joint and chilled reading for half hour before going to my bed.
She was still out for a count when I got there, but still breathing evenly and had a steady pulse so I cuddled up to her and went to sleep myself hoping that she felt better in the morning and we could take up where we had left of in the shop doorways and on the way home
I woke around 7.30 next morning and got up to do my usual morning ablutions, first put the kettle on, then the toilet and I decided to go ask her if she wanted tea of coffee and how she wanted it, me expecting her to be gagging for a cuppa after the nigh before.
I went into the bedroom and shook her gently saying, “I bet you've a bad head this morning, you want a cuppa”, but as I shook her, I realised something was wrong, which it was, very wrong, she was dead |
