.The awkward position I was laying in put pressure on my already aching back and I was forced to sit up. It was dusk and I had a hard time placing whe...e we were in relativity to the Yacht Club. I stood and walked to the wet bar, filling a flute with champagne and drinking it and a pain killer down in one gulp. I was desperate for the pain in my back to disappear and once the pill passed my tongue, my brain told my body that soon, very soon, all would be better. I scooped up my sundress and. ‘Allen somehow I knew you’d end up with an old bitty after I kicked your sorry ass out.’ I leaned toward Amanda and in a quiet tone of voice that only she and Kay could hear I said. ‘Kay’s twice the woman you’ll every be Amanda.’ Kay looked up from the table with a smile on her face but just as quickly it disappeared when Amanda said. ‘Well Allen you got that right she looks twice my age.’ Amanda turned and walked away before I could reply and Kay had already reached across the table and. He’d been to a concert with my brother and needed a place to crash afterwards. He’d chatted casually to my parents, eaten some free food, and was now lying in bed just a few yards from my room, as if nothing ever happened. The cheek of the guy! I sat up in bed. It was clear I wasn’t going to get any sleep. ‘So what should I do instead?’ I asked myself.As I thought it through I realised I was angry with Nick because he probably laughed about the swimsuit incident. He must have thought I was so. He had beenin a vanilla marriage for years that just didn't ever seem fulfilling. Finally,he realized that life was not getting any shorter and decided to end themarriage. By then they were just going through the motions so it was a relieffor both parties. He tried unsuccessfully to meet women for months but justcouldn't seem to find them. Mostly it was because he didn't meet that manypeople outside of work. You know how it is, you work all day and when youfinallyget home, you are stressed out.
