Part 4
The stupid little man disturbed my dreams for days after that. Him and his pathetic little ego to go with his pathetic little body and pathetically large amount of visible body hair.
The dreaded day came when I had to return to that stupid meeting. I zig zagged to work, knocking over a few letter boxes on the way (the idiots shouldn't put them so close to the road!) and parked in a disabled spot outside the building I had to go to.
"G'day all" I said wearily as I stumbled in and got the same disapproving look as I got the last time.
"Well eeh to you too!" I said returning the look, though a little more grotesque.
"So� as we discussed last meeting, we will be breaking off into pairs. You will have to spend at least 2 hours a day together and keep a diary on what you are both doing. It will be up to you to organize times� but we have chosen partners for you to work with. You can start by spending the next 2 hours getting to know each other better by playing a few of the games I've organized. I shall call out the pairs and you can meet up as I do so."
"Sarah Geoffrey and Bill Manning - Jean Bauldrick and Rachael Kipper - Gavin Friedrickson and David Jennings - Paul McDermott and Deb Joseph"
"FUCK" I called
"SHIT" I heard being yelled from the other side of the room and everyone looked at me and shrimp boy. I was glad to see he wasn't enthusiastic about being with me either.
"Now now... No need to be like that� Debbie and Paul, please go to a quiet part of the room and start talking to each other whilst I read out everyone else's pairs.
Grumbling, I moved over to him.
"Typical" I mumbled
"Bitch"
"arsehole"
"Slag"
"midget circus freak"
"Drunken baboons arse"
"Drunken Baboon"
"You�. You are SO irritating" he said to me and I grinned
"Thanks"
He clenched his teeth and turned away, then turning back to look at me.
"Look� lets just try and get through this ok� then we can go on, never have to see each other again"
I thought a second at what he was suggesting. Sure� I could handle a week of having to see the little worm for a few hours a day.
"Fine�"
"Fine"
"Good"
"Yep"
We stood there silently for a few minutes and he extended his arm.
"I'm Paul"
"Deb� Debbie� what ever"
"Nice to meet you whatever."
Ok� I couldn't help but smile.
