Part 27
We had been together for about a month officially and were so happy about everything. Course i had to screw it all up didnt i.
Me and Cathy decided to try our luck at getting into a pub and having a little fun. we werent that far off 18 and i think i looked about 20 once i was all dressed up. Paul insisted on driving us in and picking us up when we were ready to go home. He was so sweet, and so worried we'd get into some trouble if we took a taxi home or the bus.
Anyway we got in ok and i decided to buy a drink. I got a stoli first... then another.. and a shot of sambucca, and another, and some butterscotch schnapps... and another and some more stolli's... and then Cathy started talking to these guys who began to buy us stollis and rum and cokes... i cant remember how many of those i had but i could barely stand up by the time i decided to stop drinking. One of the guys... who i thought was pretty good looking began talking to me about queensland and how they weree staying at a hotel near by... he invited me to go back with him and.. stupidly i had to accept.
So i left Cathy in the care of complete strangers and began to walk to a hotel with a guy i didnt know. We arrived at the hotel and sat on the bed. He began to kiss me and i wanted to ask him something but i didnt know his name.. thats when i realized what i was doing.
"umm... i dont think i can do this" i said and the rest of the night is a blurr... I do remember walking back to the pub with Damien (i ended up asking his name) and found that Cathy had gone home. I said goodbye to the guys and found a public phone booth... and Called Paul.
He drove in to pick me up and was thrilled when i got in the car... asking about how it was and what we got up to. I couldnt lie to him.
"Paul... i need to tell you something"
with those words his face went pale.
" i met a guy and he invited me back to his hotel room. we only kissed!!! i was really drunk... i thought about you and stopped... i thought i should tell you because i wanted to be honest" I waited for a reply... nothing
"Paul?" i asked and the only reply i got was his pushing his foot harder on the accelerator.
