Berlin
Senior Lister
The throaty growl of the caretaker accosting a tenant over something roused me from my drunken stupor, I rolled from the sofa and landed on some empty Legend black label 750ml bottles which only aided foul my mood further and hurt my elbow. I blinked up to the ceiling blankly without registering the creativity of the design.
Getting up on my smarting elbow I pulled off the cap of a bottle, fished in a nearby coat and pulled out a cigarette and lit it up. After a puff I started recollecting the previous night's activities but it was all a blur of red light district rated acts. I shook my head in despair while a remorseless laugh escaped my soul, there was a half empty tumbler on the table and I gulped it down wincing at the sudden stab down my torso.
The booze helped somewhat with the disorientation and I started recollecting my wits, I got up and dreamily staggered to the fridge. In it I greedily grabbed at the half eaten greasy chicken and stuffed it in my mouth, there was a bottle of local brew and that too went belly up in a matter of seconds. Fully awake I peered into the bedroom and saw two pairs of painted feet peeking from the duvet, cursing softly I grabbed a jacket and my phone and slinked from the house carefully locking up the door and headed to a local joint to buy a couple of more bottles.
While paying I noticed a missed call from my sweetest Emily, I pondered on calling back or ignoring the call and heading back into the duvet. I dialed her back and inquired her reason for calling and the coy voice on the other side requested me to meet her. I agreed to in half an hour and wondered if there was an extra inch she had forgotten when she stabbed me in the heart.
Oh well, why not I was still smitten with her.
