I was still feeling slightly depressed after the breakup with a long term girlfriend. At the time I was just 22. The girlfriend and her parents, and mine for that matter, we're applying pressure on me to, pop to question. I just wasn't ready to settle down. To be honest I think I'd only stayed in the relationship, was purely because I was too chicken to end it.
I was worried how friends and relatives would react, if I did. I'm sure there's some out there that can understand the situation. It had to end and end now. Before things went too far down the marriage road, everyone hearing wedding bells etc.
On top of all the pressure, and definitely a contributing factor, was our sex life. Which was always performed in the dark missionary position and strictly rationed, and definitely no nudity, or oral. In fact nothing that she considered, dirty, or perverted.
A close friend at work Pete, had noticed I hadn't been myself for a few days, and suggested we go get a beer at lunchtime. Pete was in his early 30s, and had been divorced for about a year now. I still have the memory of the hangover. After going out drinking with him to celebrate, him getting his divorce papers.
We got to the pub and I confided in Pete, telling him, all that had happened, and that I'd finally bitten the bullet and ended my relationship with her.
Pete's reaction was as I expected it to be, totally supportive. He couldn't believe that I'd put up with it for so long. Nor the missionary sex life, Which he found quite amusing, He now worked his hand to and throw at his mouth, like he was sucking a cock. We both ended up laughing, and kidding around. Pete was just the medicine I needed to snap me out of my mood.
While we were in the pub he suggested that, I attended the stag party, of one of the guys from the office. There was an open invite to all, and it was coming up on the following Friday.
I wasn't sure about it, the drinking and driving would be the problem. Pete said he was going, and if I wanted to, I could stay at his place after. He said he had a spare room I could use. Pete's place was only about twenty minutes walk from where the party was going to be held. Getting drunk was Pete's answer to most problems.
On the Friday of the party I drove to work as usual, the only difference was I parked my car at Pete's place. That night Pete and I, went back to his place to get changed, then onto the wine bar where the party was to be held. We stayed at the party far longer than I expected, and of course drank much to much alcohol. I think it was about midnight when Pete and I staggered out, of the party to make our way home. We'd only been walking a few minutes when it started raining quite hard. We decided to make a run for it, and occasionally dived into shop doorways to shelter. Eventually we made it back to Pete's, by that time both of us were soaked to the skin.
