'The date'

"Phone her."

"I am not botherin' her!!! I still don't see why you can't come!"

"I told you, I am going to a piano recital with the wife.....I need this Kev." He became solemn and Kev backed off. "Stop being so whingy. You know you enjoy her company, I don't see what the problem is!!!"

"I don't want 'er gettin' the wrong idea, that'sall." Kev huffed and shrugged his shoulder.

"So you want to take Gen to a Dominatrix's party as a friend then?"

"..............yeah?"

"Sweet Jesus you are stupid sometimes Kev."

"Wot?!" Ben could here him fuming over the name calling over the phone.

"How old are you again? You've been like five year olds pulling each others hair in the playground...."

"S'not like that Ben! Don't suggest shit like that about her!!!"

"Okay! Okay! Just call her alright? You need to get out and maybe she could meet some knew friends...."

"At the dominitrix's party."

"...................."

"............."

"Shut up. Just do it Kev, stop being an arse and get over yourself;...... I gotta go okay?"

"...................alright mate. Hope the piano thing is good, yeah?"

"Yeah, hope the party is good too."


Kevin put the phone down and had three cans of beer before he picked up the phone again.

Deep breaths, stay calm.....s'just a party.

"........Gen?"
