Mistake after mistake and what a clanger.
By loveofmyLife75.
Let me introduce myself My name is Fred Linden Thompson. I am twenty-two and soon to be my birthday. It was all planned for this coming Friday night and on Saturday night. Friday night was to be a drinking session as normal with us four. Who was going to be the last man standing? The four of us starting off at our pub round the corner. It was to be a pub crawl we did this from time to time. A pint or a stiff drink then on to the next pub.
As the night went on. All we talked about was girls. And what we would do to them in bed all night long. We were all drunk as lords that was no surprise. Called for a taxi and the four of us heading home to sleep the alcohol off. Needless to say, in the morning, a banging headache that was to come.
Saturday night was my birthday. I was getting ready expecting a joke or too on me. Thinking it was going to get a stripper. And get her to play with my balls in front of them laughing their heads of at me. We met at the local pub at half eight. Down went drinks then off to an Indian restaurant for a curry. After that we were heading to the dance hall. For a dance or two and then heading for a night club into the early hours. I should tell you one or two things about my three mates.
Fred Lindon Thompson was my best friend he lived down the road from where I use to live. We referred to him as (Fred O). Before my parents move. We were in each other pockets and told everything to each other as great friend do. We even work at the same place. We were always getting mixed up at work because of our names. (Fred O) was very much like me the same physical shape and handy to have around but not as good as me.
Harry well he was the good looker, and he could charm the socks of your feet. He had the gift of the gab were women were concerned. He could pick up a girl in minutes and be on his way giving us a wave. He worked in a big store. He did that to meet girls of all shapes and sizes. He was girl mad.
David, he had a job that let him travel around he wanted to settle down we all new that. Months before he went to the same town for months on end. But he never said anything to us why he went to the same town.

We paid at the dance hall door we broke into two’s that was me Fred Thompson and (Fred O). David, and Harry went off in the opposite direction to us. In minuities Harry was on the floor dancing with two girls and David was with him. He was a quick mover and if Harry liked her that was him for the rest of the night. David, he danced with the other girl and did not seem to be interest in her. For me and (Fred O) we danced towards David, and Harry.
That was going to be the end of the night out. Harry was smitten with the girl he was dancing with. The poor girl David was dancing with was not impressed one little bit. The girl had to wait for someone to ask her for a dance. That meant the three of us went looking for a girl to dance with before we moved on to the night club.
David told us he was not feeling too well and was going home. That left me and (Fred O). Come on (Fred O) lets go to the other dance hall. Harry as forgot about us. Got in a taxi and of to the other Dance hall on the five minutes down the road. (Fred O) and I dance the night away.
Sunday afternoon was our weekly trip for a few hours fishing. We always fished the same length and the same pegs. Changing our position every week. The three of them were already there when I arrived. I was time to catch up and last night’s evens.
Harry was the first to go. To our surprise he told us he thinks he has found the idea woman and he would be seeing her tonight. Then he asked (Fred O) and I how we went on last night. We told him and David we went to the other dance hall on and dance the night away. David did not speak for a while. Then he spoke.
“Sorry mates there is something I have not told you; I have bought a house on the other side of town.”
“And I am going away for a month tomorrow…You see I have found the girl of my dreams…I am getting married next week…So, when I get back, I will be a married man…The only reason I have never introduced you to her… is because of Harry! He may had stolen her from me…Harry sorry but I must be honest and don’t get any ideas or else!”
Harry butted in. “David we are mates, and you think I would go out of my way. To steal her from you…Sorry NO way…that would ever happen,” Harry said with a convincing voice.
“Harry, you say that now. Wait until you have seen her…you will change your mind…And I want you to tell me soon after you have met her that’s all I ask.” David said to Harry.
You could feel in the tension between David and Harry.
“David, you don’t have to worry I have found my ideal girl that why I am seeing her tonight,” Harry said.
(Fred O) and I looked at each other. Knowing that was going to be the breakup of four long friends.
David, left on the Monday to get married. Harry was with his dream girl every night. (Fred O) and I did not see Harry and David for over three months. Then I received a phone call from Harry asking us to meet the three of us in the pub at eight.
Harry was sat there waiting for us with our drinks on the table. All he wanted to tell as was. He got married to the girl of his dreams. But a week or two ago he has fall in love with the most gorgeous creature on the plant.
The problem was that she was married and in love with her husband and there was no way she would divorce him. Harry was in love with his wife, and he did not want a divorce her.
We asked him, have you taken her to bed. He told us not yet but next time he would do. We told him let it go it will cause you more problems than you could think off.
With that David invited us to his house at weekend. (Fred O) and I were the first to arrive Harry and is wife about half an hour later. David introduced us to his wife, and we could see the reason why. David wanted Harry to stay clear of his lovey wife. Harry and his wife came in and, but David’s wife was out of the room. Harry’s wife was a stunner.
David’s wife came back in stopped dead. Looking at Harry. Their eyes locked. David made light of the meeting, but he knew there was something wrong. Even Harry wife sensed it. The atmosphere was tense when David’s wife was near Harry their eyes kept on meeting. There was no drought about it this was the married woman that Harry wanted.
I looked at (Fred O) he had the same idea. I grabbed hold of Harry’s arm and moved him out of the house and (Fred O) was on the other side of him. We route marched him down the road and this is what (Fred O) and I told him.
Harry, we have been friends for ever. yes, we have guessed its David’s wife is the married woman you told us about. Have you taken her to bed we asked him he said NO!
Right then we said “now listen to us. You are married to a stunner get on with her. Don’t even think of David’s wife. Ever again…If you, do… I promise you…Your face will be a mess for the rest of your life and as for dancing that will be the thing of the past.
