"I opened the text and it said:" Free ringtones and wallpaper for Iphone 4GS & iPad press Yes to accept (see terms & conditions) In anger I leapt up to my feet and tossed the iPhone down onto the large white shiny marble floor. It smashed into many pieces which took flight in all directions. I flopped back onto the couch and started whaling. "Why me? No! Please... Why Me"
Fortunately no one was around to give me an answer. I passed out into a pathetic pile on the couch. Like a big pile of dirty washing. I was in need of a good scrub; More internally than externally though. My moral compass needed a polish. I needed to focus and sort fact from fiction. To take responsibility for what I have done. I blacked out. I Was woken by Yelling! On the TV Screen! by an advert spruiking the latest in Cardio Zumba workouts. Incredibly tanned toned bodies were going through a sexy dance routine. My head was so sore! My mouth felt like Sandpaper. I rushed to the sink, cupped my hands, and drank desperately from the tap as it ran freely into the sink. I splashed my face several times with water trying to get life back into my face and soul. My face told it all a desperate soul seeking redemption on the other a coniving greedy bitch wanting to conceal her sins. I felt an overwhelming feeling of guilt and remorse wash over me. It seemed like every cell in my body had been perpetrated by these two emotions which I feel are driving and condemning me into a living hell.
Did I hop into bed with someone? Now if so who was it ? "Rahul Bhatnagar perhaps. No. Rahul is a honours Law Student who has been working as an exchange intern from one of our branch offices in Bombay. He is related by birth to famous Indian Cricket record breaker and all time Legend Sachin Tendulkar. Rahul just missed out on being selected for the Indian Cricket Team last year. He retains his athletic looks. He has the chin of George Clooney an the eyes of Omar Sharif. Larry on the other hand is your typical Aussie Lawyer. Larry is thickset played Rugby for SCEGGS and then Kings. For most of the time when not at work he wears thongs and a T shirt. At work he says that "He leaves sartorial elegance to the posers..." Larry though is quite smart he completed his PHD last year at Sydney Uni. Larry's PHD was on international environment agreements. Right now he was engaged with an inter-government panel to advise the United Nations on a Global approach to implementing a Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme(CPRS).
Did I end up at the Grecian Rooms with a Stranger? I don't think so. I go into work log onto my Gmail Account page and check my unread messages...
