Nancy?

Happens,it often happens that your wife could leave you for a handsome life and leave you with three kids to raise and it's not like Larry didn't hate it, infact he loathed every second he had to drown his misery with a bottle of bourbon at Morientez pub downtown which would explain his current location.

He gulped the last contents of his glass and shook his head violently as the sour liquid went down his throat and his head screeched of torment and ecstasy. He sighed as he looked at his glass and gauged if he was still sober enough to order the eleventh glass and still get to drive himself home ,chances were he was drunk and he wouldn't walk out of  this place without a thud or a crashing glass.

Nancy walked into Morientez pub and looked around her environment not sure if she was here to drown her day or escape her problems but both of those sounded impossible and also that it was easier to blame it on life and allow alcohol  to poses your veins and feel relieved for the couple of hours it can survive and wake up on Sunday morning with a headache.

She walked towards the counter as she   stumbled into a sea of horny teenagers tainted with adults trying to comprehend how the fairy tale of forever after turned into a horrendous nightmare of hating Mondays.

She found a hot bartender at the other end and ordered a martini as someone at a corner caught her eye ,he had dark hair with dark pupils and crimson veins in them.

She smiled as she walked to him trying to hold a laugh. Her own boss ,the great big editor was at a cheap bar ,damn ,Larry Calpara how far you've fallen.

"Larry is that you?"she asked as she sat next to him.

"No it's the ghost of Christmas past Nancy sassy pants" he answered when he had completely observed her head to toe.

"Seriously Larry this is the cheapest bar in Nairobi what the hell are you doing here"she asked ignoring his humor.

"Larry turned to face her as he sighed and brushed his left brow.

"First of all Nancy this is a teenage infested hell hole which happens to sell really good bourbon so if you would please leave me alone "

She chuckled at his enthusiasm to words ,he always did have a thing for lengthy words.

"But you're not a teenager"

"And your not my mother ,so I guess we both loose "

Larry felt tired and all he wanted to do was have a quiet day on his own and celebrate a hard earned weekend like he normally did.

"What happened to you Larry, I mean one second we were at the hotel having a nice time ,the next you wanted to come back,what happened?"

"Are you married?"

"No ,but I don't see how that's related to my question"

"Then do me a favor don't fall in love ,fall off a bridge it hurts less"

"Seriously that's the best explanation you can come up with,you fell in love"

"That's where you are wrong I didn't just fall in love with one girl ,I fell in love with two"

" Oh really?"

"Yap and one of them happened to be a phsyco."

"Oh my God ,that explains alot" she said as she shook her head,"your life sounds complicated"

"Are you kidding me it's a living nightmare,you should try it sometime"

"Thanks but  mine is quite much of an adventure as it is"

Suddenly a silence grew between them and everything became awkward.Larry was now sobering up and looked at the woman before her, he had never quite really noticed how her thighs were so fleshy before or how she looked sexy in a miniskirt or how her often green highlights on her eyes complimented her leafy eyes or better yet how her breasts were full or was it just the ethanol in his system, probably because he wasn't really that kind of a guy, though broken and obsolete.

He looked at her and noticed she was blond which was wiered because last week she was a red head. The topic seemed to have perplexed him as his mind questioned and begged for answers which he couldn't produce, considering he was her boss and she was definitely not his type.

"Hey are you okay?"she asked.

"Yes"he said swallowing saliva "why would you ask me that?"

"Because you have been checking me out for over five minutes and it's getting weirder as you keep murmuring to yourself"

Larry smiled as he ordered a bottle of bourbon and poured the contents carefully into a glass.

Nancy finally came to the conclusion that her boss was definitely a mystery and he probably needed help. She watched him gouble up two glasses and refill the glass once more and shook her head in agreement ,he definitely was messed up.

Larry found his gaze on her again but this time on her face, the lips were scarlet and were full like they were begging to be kissed ,as if they were chanting his name calling him to come closer,the bourbon was now in his head as he gulped up more and gazed at her neck but no enchantment came but as he went down his eyes grew wider to get a closer view,he could swear they were bouncing towards him as she ordered another martini,he closed his eyes to focus but found his neck falling down and his eyes automatically opening ,was it just him or was the miniskirt dancing as if it was daring him to hold it ,he swallowed another glass of bourbon but it didn't help as he found her eyes twitching as she took a sip from her glass.

"We have a problem"he finally muttered.

"I'm sorry what?"she asked in confusion.

He would have continued if not for the lips moving,and after that he lost control and breathed his last sane breath and pulled her head to his lips. He sucked her lower lip and pushed his tongue Into her mouth as she slowly moaned and electricity coursed through his veins, he held her slender waist and pulled her fullness to his chest but she pulled away and cut the moment. They both stared at each other in confusion,utter disbelief and breathing heavily gasping for air.

Larry imediately questioned his actions and judged them to be wrong but there was something right about it ,but yet it was so wrong in so many different ways.

Nancy was unsure of what to think of what to do and her brain begged to leave the room but her body felt glued to the seat. Larry stood up from his seat and paid for their drinks as he grabbed   bottle and walked to the door staggering.
