My name is David and I have worked in medicine for twenty years. I will not say what I did. I enjoyed my job and had watched many people come and go and some had been interesting and some had been boring but I made a few friends along the way and when we went out we partied hard and paid the price the following day.
One night we were out when a new bunch of student nurses came in all a bit tiddly and giddy. They crashed the bar and ordered a round of drinks. The barman asked for ID and all the students produced their driving licences. Satisfied the barman served the rounds of drinks and the nurses found a group of tables and sat down and continued their drinking binge. The bar had a club attached to it and you could flit between the two. The girls were enjoying themselves and it was clear that they were out to pick up a couple of young men and take them back to the halls of residence.
As the night wore on I noticed that one of the students kept of looking at me. She was a pretty little thing and she was cute in her own way. I stayed with my friends but eventually they all went through to the club looking to get into the nursing act. I did not fancy clubbing it so I stayed in the bar. I was in my own little world when a little voice said.
"Can I join you Sir."
God Sir that made me feel so old. I looked up and saw that it was the cute looking nurse.
"Please do sit down and keep me company." I said.
She pulled out a stool and sat down and introduced herself.
"Hi my name is Lucy." She said
"Hey I am David."
We shook hands as if we were at a business meeting. I had just drained my glass and I said to her.
"Do you need another drink?"
"A vodka and tonic would be lovely." She said.
