Part 1
The first time I spent an evening with Lily, it wasn't by choice. People didn't really choose to hang out with Lily. She was a stuck-up brat from an all-girls school who liked to talk, at a speed faster than human hearing could keep up with, about numerous posh friends of hers that no-one had ever met. Plus, listening to her sing was a painful experience. God knows why she joined Folk Music Society. She probably wanted a safe environment in which to experiment with being all authentic and working class. We let her get on with it.
Anyway, I'd made the mistake of agreeing to be Lily's plus-one for a house party the International Society had organised (she was from a village in Hampshire) in the hope that she could be left to her own devices while I chatted up, say, eighty Chinese girls.
"You don't know where the house is. Are you fucking kidding me."
"I'm not... freaking kidding you at all! My phone battery died! I don't even know why it died because it was on 35 percent charge when I..."
"Lily... LILY!"
"You must think I'm a total airhead, Carl. You're wishing you'd never agreed to come with me, aren't you?"
"No, I'm not. Well... no, I like your company Lily! I'm just wishing you'd written the address down or something." I gave her my best attempt at a reassuring smile.
"We could go to the computer cluster and I could check the Facebook event?"
"What? It's a twenty minute walk. I can't be arsed walking for twenty minutes."
"Are you going home then?"
"Can we not just stay in town and get nicely pished for a while, then I haven't made a pointless train journey?"
She blushed. "I don't understand why people try to get drunk. I don't see the attraction?"
"Great. You can drink coke. You can be the designated making-sure-no-one-steals-my-wallet-person."
--------
We were on our way home, negotiating a complex warren of pedestrian walkways and had just come to a T-junction. Lily and I needed to turn right to get to the train station. The left fork led through a covered passage, past a cheap motel covered in scaffolding, towards some university buildings.
"You know you're actually pretty cute Lily. Why not just... be happy?"
"Right."
"You don't like being happy?"
"You're completely drunk Carl."
"Okay, well, that's a shame. Um. Can you wait here for just two secs?" I pointed to her feet, as if to magically halt them in their tracks.
"Why? Where are you going?"
"Bathroom." I turned left, away from Lily, and walked a few metres into the passage.
She looked confused.
"You're going to find somewhere with a bathroom? Well don't just leave me here!"
"I din' say that did I?"
"Carl, what are you doing?"
I stood in the corner formed by the wall and a scaffolding board and took out my cock. Normally it took me a little while to get things going when there were people around, but with the amount of alcohol I'd taken on, I was pissing a powerful stream onto the wall almost before my cock was free of my boxers.
I had my back to Lily, but the bluish lighting gave her enough clues as to what I was doing.
"Carl!!" shrieked Lily in a voice that was half whisper, half scream. Then composing herself slightly: "Carl, you can't just wee against a wall like that!"
"You're right, peeing on bricks izzz bad idea, lots of splashing." I took a step backwards and directed my piss in a well-formed arc directly onto the ground. The sound echoed noisily around the confines of the walkway.
"Oh my goodness", said Lily half under her breath. I looked back over my shoulder at her. She had turned side-on to me and was peering out from under her hand.
"Are you peeking?"
She opened her mouth to say something, shut it again and with a flounce, took several steps away from me. I admired her genuine Ugg boots. And her loose, copper-brown hair. And her bottom. Oh, her peachy little bottom. Lily had a gorgeous hourglass frame with broadish shoulders and hips, but barely any padding on it at all. She probably watched her weight religiously, which was kind of a shame. Another inch all over and she would have been in Greek goddess territory.
"I like your b...oots Lily!"
"Yes. Well. I hate you and everything about you. Carl."
I finished up and give my cock a generous shaking and just a little bit of a stroke to make absolutely sure.
"My name's not even Carl," I shouted back to her.
"Yes it is. I'm sure it is."
I turned round laughing at her and yanked my zip up as loudly and dramatically as possible. "I know my own name, honey." She turned up her nose quite visibly at the term of endearment. "Carwyn. S'Welsh. Car is short. I mean, short for Carwyn."
Her wide gaze fell on the river of piss spreading out across the passage from behind my feet. She seemed oddly fascinated by something.
"Les's go," I suggested, approaching her.
"Don't touch me!"
"Wasn't gonna touch you. Might catch..." I thought extremely hard. "POSH DISEASE."
We walked on for a minute or so in tense silence.
"Have you never pissed outdoors then?"
She hesitated. "Yes I have!" she blurted.
"Really?"
The hint of pride in her voice turned to panic. "Not in the street though! It was on a walk that I was doing for the Duke of Edinburgh award. We had to hide in the bushes when we needed to use the bathroom. It was the WORST THING EVER."
"Pff. Bushes doesn't count."
I looked at her and half-smiled. She looked away quickly, deflated.
"Totally counts," she muttered.
"What?"
"Why am I talking about this with you anyway? You're drunk."
We got the train home.

Part 2
"They've run out of beer. Well that's just fucking classic."
Sebastian from FolkSoc was clearly of the opinion that, when a local independent school organised a fundraising ceilidh and told university students about it, they should make sure it was amply stocked with beer.
"It's a school, man. They don't have like, vast walk-in fridges here," I said.
"I don't care, I'll drink warm beer. But that," he indicated the now beer-free trestle table, "I mean, that wasn't even a token effort."
A contingent of Folkies decided to "bugger off to the pub". I declined to join them, on the grounds that I'd met a red-haired Scottish girl, Erin I think her name was, and needed to keep an eye on her in case her clothes started falling off.
"Can you look after Lily, if you're staying?" asked Seb.
"Oh, I get to look after Lily? Woohoo." I waved a tiny invisible flag.
"Woohoo?"
"Yeah. Goody gumdrops. Now is the winter of my discontent made glorious summer." I looked around. "Is she even still here?"
"Yeah, she's just gone to the loo, we're trying to leave before she gets back."
"Okay. I'll look after Lily."
"Magic, see you on Wednesday."
The guys left and Lily came back from the toilet and sat down with me and we drank wine and I looked around for Erin.
"Hey, Slut Two!" came a voice from behind us.
