The morning after, revelations and evidence


You know it is not going to be a good day when:
  • You wake up on your sofa with a stiff neck and aching body
  • The hangover is killing you
  • You have to shower with one arm in the air so as not to make the watch that is
  • stuck on your wrist wet
  • The floor is still spinning.
Okay strategy I think. I am always late to work so today I will arrive early. that will prove that I am not hungover and didn't do anything wrong. I quickly throw on some makeup - red nose is now covered up and make my way to work.

Outside the building I am filled with the urge to run like hell and call in sick. Probably not a good idea I decide so make my way in.

It is 8:45am so there is only Ethan and May in the office.

May greets me politely but looks distracted and Ethan shouts "Morning." Enthusiastically and offers me a cup of tea.
They are both being so normal I relax a bit

"So how are you feeling this morning?" Ethan asks
I blush,
"Fine fine." I lie
"So did you guys stay late?" He asks me, "Ted and I left about half ten"

Relief - he and Ted weren't there. Maybe no one actually saw us.
I blush and say, "I have someones watch stuck on my hand, can you help me get it off."
Ethan laughs, "Yeah here you are kid. Hope you didn't do anything stupid."
I blush and he gives me a hug

I begin to relax when Fishy comes in smirking.
"Morning all," He calls, "Kate you're on time? I thought you would be still sleeping it off."
I blush but say in my most sober and professional voice "No I am feeling great this morning thanks."

I am a very bad liar.

Fishy smirks, "So looking forward to the awkward moments between you and Simon?"
Ethan looks up.
I blush and say "I don't remember anything that would be awkward."
He laughs and says, "Want the visual, we got bored so took a video."

Oh shit!

Ethan looks torn between amusement and sympathy and I can feel myself going purple. Must control this blushing.

"Although," Fishy continues clearly enjoying my squirming, "I think it will be even more awkward between Simon and Rob."
"Whys that?" Ethan asks as I sink into my seat.
"Rob hit him," Fishy says "Apparently he felt it was unfair to Kate that Simon already has a girlfriend."

Er WHAT???

  3. I'm shocked!
    A girlfriend and he still blushes whenever he talks to you?
    I can't wait to hear the rest of this.
    How can you this to us, your loyal readers... must know how it ends ;)
    But hang in there, you couldn't have been the only one who did embarassing things, so relax, you'll get through it.

    And at least you got the watch off...

  7. Ohhhh a video, actual evidence. I hate phones with cameras! So there was a fight and that's why they got kicked out. It gets more and more interesting.

  20. OMG! LMAO! Your life is soooooooo much more exciting than mine. The night before last, I finished a scrap angel for my mother which is absolutely freakin' adorable and my boss took pictures of it yesterday morning and called it cute. Then last night I started on a snow man and...*shrug* This morning my boss and I grunted a friendly good morning. THAT was my excitement.

    *shakes head chuckling* Good grief, girl-child. That's some funny stuff.

  26. Oops! At least you didn't get hit, that's the way to think about it and the gossip made you forget about your hangover.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Well that was stupid of Simon. Has anyone found out that Rob kissed you?

    ReplyDelete

  34. I'm going to withhold my comments about Simon for now until everything's revealed, but, if he turns out to be a prick, I hope that watch gets 'accidentally' dunked in the toilet. I'm just sayin...

    ReplyDelete

  40. A girlfriend! - bummer...she's probably a lot less fun/crazy ;-) than you though and hopefully he will see the light :-) assuming you want him to...

    ReplyDelete
  41. So sorry Kate. I say we all burn our Team Simon t-shirts. He's the one who should be utterly embarrassed. I'm on Team Rob now. Hang in there!

  42. Nothing changes, does it? This exchange is just like playground politics.

    How long do officefolk get off for Christmas? Either way, have a good one!

  44. Hey there. I hope you're having a good weekend. It's been cold and rainy here. Our internet keeps going out so I did want to leave a comment on your blog. Take care. Have a great week. Cheers!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Heyyy I love your blog! And your header-is so cute.
    Just read this post and the last. Haven't figured out who to cheer for? Simon or Rob? Guess I have a lot of reading to do.
    Thanks for visiting my blog btw! :)

    ReplyDelete
  46. I'm defecting to Team Rob now, too.

    ReplyDelete
  47. omg! a video? and there i thought a picture says a thousand words. a video must at least say a thousand more. and simon already has a gf??!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Thedailyspew - I know he is not as innocent as he looks...

    Girl With The Golden Touch - I know....

    Rebecca Knight - One might be!

    Aion _ I know he abused my innocence!

    Fran Hill - I wouldn't recommend it. Showering like that uncomfortable and ineffective..

    Single and Shallow - That sounds a little safer though - mine is surrounded by hormones apparently...

    VE - Damn why did no one tell me?

    Dutch donut girl - I tried it on the night before and I just couldn't get the damn thing undone. Ethan managed in a second so I was clearly being blonde.

  49. Keith - It's more making a moron of myself than adventure but thanks :)

    SM Blooding - At least you are creative and make things - thats cool. And my boss hates me....

    Christiejolu - If it is a TV show I want someone a lot prettier than me to be me :P

    Aunt Juicebox - Strong or stupid. I figured best face the music rather than spend the weekend worrying

    Hiding Myself From Me - and followed by a heart course of crap!

    Kato - I know and he seems so nice!

    Urban School Teacher - I predict violence

    Tuesday Kid - Always good not getting hit...

    Wynn - Not sure. Fishy is suspicious but that might just be his general personality..

    secret agent woman - So jealous of you for that.

    Laurnie - There are details....

    plainolebob - You like to be shocked eh? :p

    My name is PJ - I know it is wrong wrong wrong

    Kristy - Me either!

    otin - I am hoping that the Christmas break will distract people.

  53. oh my! what's the angle with Fishy? Living up to nickname I suppose. To do that and say that to you in front of others, clearly shows what kind of character--or lack of. Damn, that's messy.
