An impulsive night out

Saturday the 16^th of January

Wake at 8.30, get dressed and walk across the road to work, I cant be bothered and wish I didn't have to stay there until 5, I'm knackered, but end up having an OK day. I get the confirmation that they cant change my hours to fit around college so the next day will be my last day.

At exactly 5pm, my friend Lucy from college calls and asks what I am up to that night, my mum Is still in Slough and I don't much fancy spending the night at home with my step dad so I agree to try and get some money and go over hers.

It takes me half an hour to get the courage to ask Richard for 20 quid, but he agrees easily and at 6.12pm I am on the fourteen minute train journey to the next town. The town where I feel my life is based, its where I go to college, where I lived for 2 years, where I worked for 4 years and where Robert and James live.

I get off the train and can see Roberts house, I need my necklace from him so I go over.

I press the buzzer.

“Hello?” comes Roberts voice.

“Hiya,” I say, “i am just smoking, but buzz the door for me.”

We chat for a bit when I hear James' voice, “Robert why don't you just let her in?”

“She's smoking!” Robert says.

“is that Livick?” I ask.

“Yeah,” he says.

“Right I am coming up.”

I go up the stairs and let myself in, Kerri is also there. Its awkward for a few minutes before I bring up the fact Jodie and Liam spent the whole night arguing the night before.

I ring Lucy and say that I'm at Roberts but wont be long. In truth if I could I would spend the whole night just sat here with Kerri, James and Robert but cant, Robert getting ready to go to Adams, Kerri has work the next day so needs to get the train home to the town where me and her live, and James is due to go home too.

We have an in depth conversation about mistakes that we make at work. Me and Robert used to work in a bank together, I worked there for 3 years, he has been there for 2 and a half, James is the manager of a tile shop and Kerri is a care assistant is a residential home for the elderly.

Then its time to go, we leave the house together, Kerri and James go one way, me and Robert the other, we exchange hugs and kisses and say goodbye.

“Adams cooking me dinner tonight,” Robert says rolling his eyes, “i hope its just like, we're having dinner, not having a nice meal together.”

“It probably wont be,” I try to reassure him, he isn't into romance, “Adam said he cant cook that well, so it will probably be something simple.”
“I want beans on toast!” Robert laughed.

“You're not a student!” I say, “thats me!”

We get to the end of Adams road and I hug Robert goodbye. It doesn't feel too bad.

“Be safe!” he shouts across the road.

“I'll try!” I call back, before walking the rest of the journey to Lucy's.

Me and Lucy, go to the shop, buy some cheap Cider and decide to go to heights.

We're pretty drunk by the time we get there to be honest and take over the dance floor, and that's when she kisses me. Its nice, I will admit, I've kissed many of my friends before, but this was very different, everyones looking at us, we're putting on quite a show to be fair.

I see one of the guys I slept with once while very manic, and turn it up with Lucy 'accidentally,' pushing into him so he definitely notices, then introduce her as my girlfriend. Unfortunately she then decides she fancies his brother and at the end of the night, the four of us go back to hers.

Benji (the one I slept with) pays for the taxi and buys us all a kebab, after we eat, I decide its bed time and go and get in Lucy's bed.

I load facebook on my phone and write this status.

I am sleeping in Lucy's bed and I swear if anyone except Lucy gets in bed with me, I'll beat them up!

Just so he is under no illusion that he is welcome in bed with me. He makes me feel sick.

So I go to sleep, around 2 hours later, Lucy gets in bed, Benji sleeps on the floor and his brother on the sofa. Its been a good night.
