THURSDAY THOUGHTS - ONE OF A THOUSAND CONVERSATIONS YOU MIGHT NEVER HEAR.



"Look, it's not that we don't have as much in common anymore, we do, and it’s just that I don't think.... I don’t think I can do this anymore"

Un-nerving pause.

"What!....... You total and utter bastard!" she cried with a shrill tone more a kin to a cheap fire alarm.

Well that’s it. The quiet and amicable separation he had so carefully planned out, had flown swiftly and violently through the bar like a galloping hen party in full pre marital bliss, smashed through the window, and now left bar, leaving all those prying eyes staring at him.

"Come on, for fuck sake. Calm down...just fucking calm down. He shouted through his teeth. Don't make this any worse than it already is. You know it's been shit since, since...fuck sake you know it's been shit...I just...aaaaahhhhhh. Massive exhale. I just don't think I can do this anymore, and I’m pretty sure you can't either...so let’s"

"Ahh Fuck you! Self righteous prick! Do you ever stop caring about what everybody else thinks, I’ll fucking shout if I want to.......you can be such a dick when you want to be"

She was a slightly more restrained now, but shouting in that really obvious quiet way..." I wasn't the one who fucking ditched everything to go on some kind of karma crusade, and then proceeded to drink your life into oblivion, with your 'so' called friends...I tried...for fuck sake...I tried harder than anyone else...."

I know...I know you were there for me, even when I didn't even think I needed it, and for that I can only say thank you. So much. Thank you so much for all that help, for that support. And I realise I was wrong then, but now I know I’m doing the right thing. You know it too. You know we have to do this. You know we do."

I know you will never see any further than your own little fucking bubble, your own little 'crew of homies', and that’s just you. So yeah, let’s go, let’s give it up, let’s just shit on the last three years and call it a good job ey? You're so fucking unbelievable. For fuck sake, grow the fuck up....Nah, you know what? Actually, don't. Stay exactly the way you are and I hope you feel fucking great about it."

And With that Karen got up, and shaking her head, stormed over to the door, and marched straight out of it. Not even a look back, he thought at least he would get a look back.

Left stunned, but slightly relieved by this turn of events, he waited the allotted amount of time he thought was appropriate, got up out of the corner booth they had occupied, and while being watched by every evil pair of female eyes in the room, walked over to the bar, smiled cowardly, yet charmingly at the barmaid, ordered another pint, and exhaled noisily.
