Note: If you haven't already worked it out my name is not really Troilus. In this story, I come across a guy who has the same name as me. His name isn't Troilus either but he does have the same name as me.
When it happened early October 2009
Written December 2009.
Usual story I'm out, I meet a girl, she's cute. Shortish dark hair, cute smile and dimples (I love dimples) Her name is Alicia. She can hold a decent conversation and laughed at all my jokes, so I ask why is she was single? She told me she had been living with a guy for about 2 years, found out he was cheating on her for about 3-4 months, so she moved out. We have a few more drinks, we swap numbers. Next day I text "wanna catch up for an after work drink"
I get a yes but she is already meeting some friends out, so I say "great the more the merrier" I have a great talent at getting my targets friends to like me, which usually gets me into bed with my target. She arrives with her friends a married couple who are harmless. I say hello, crack some jokes, take an interest in what they are talking about. Decide to leave them alone to chat and head to the bar. Guess who I run into? The Cougar (read Troilus the Cougar and the petrol pump) and her other cougar friends. They are all over me like a rash. There's touching and there's laughing. Occasionally I look over my shoulder to keep an eye on Alicia. She notices the cougars circling, so she comes over puts her arms around me and grabs my arse a few times. The cougars see this – they are not happy. Fuck'em.
Alicia's friends leave and we decide to get some takeaway Chinese food and head back to my place. I start getting hate texts from the cougar "I don't like your taste in women" "She'd better be fantastic in bed" etc, etc.
Walking to the Chinese restaurant I decide to try my usual move of shock and awe. Mid conversation I push Alicia hard against a wall and start kissing. She kisses me back, after we finish she says "My god I wasn't expecting that" Just the reaction I was looking for. We get back to my place eat the Chinese, Alicia starts falling asleep on my couch, I convince her to stay, she does, not much happens. I get her top and bra off but she won't let me take off her underwear. I must be losing my touch. Next morning we get up, I go to work, she leaves and I promise to call.
2 days later I get a text, "I'm bored let's do something" So I suggest we go for a drive up the coast. In the end we are gone for about 6 hours, we had a romantic walk along the beach (I know, I know, don't say it) had a nice lunch, had a great day. On the way home we get talking about how she is house minding for a friend. I ask a few more questions, his name is the same as mine.
"Isn't that the same name as your ex"?
