The unexpected.

While not quite a surprise night out, it was reasonably last-minute. I had sent GM and S an email asking if they fancied doing something as I simply wanted out of the house for a few hours.

GM had prior arrangements but suggested I go down to meet him and his friends. S stated quite categorically that he was staying in. I joined GM quite late - it was well after 10 PM. Usually by 10 PM I'm sitting in front of the TV or the PC, quite content.

One of the girls that GM was out with was very sexy. Cracking body, tight short dress, couple of tattoos and great legs. Facially, she was doing nothing for me (though a hint of porn star Mindy Main, maybe) and she was tiny without her heels, but I wasn't looking at her face. Which was an issue when I was chatting away to her.

Another cute friend of GM's arrived and stayed for one drink.

We left the bar after GM's sexy friend got herself thrown out. GM's second cute friend left at that point and we trundled around to a bar that GM had never been to before. It was at that point that GM had admitted to recently pulling the sexy girl from earlier. We had a chat about women and sex. Apparently sexy girl had offered up a friends with benefits option to GM who was pondering the option... then she turned weird on him before coming full circle again once they'd chatted and GM told her she wasn't a one night stand. It was the kind of serious conversation that GM and I settle in to quite quickly when we're out. In return, I explained to him the ongoing CH dilemma and he, once again, told me how he and GB were sure that CH and I simply would not like each other. CH's reliability was discussed (it's not just me, she's well-known for last-minute cancellations) and her communication. GM wasn't able to offer any solutions, not that I was looking for any. It'll be solved by talking to CH and that's it.

Who did we bump into at this new bar but S. It was well-timed because we'd just been having a conversation about him, then he caught our eye across the room with his mates. So, we spent a while chatting to those guys. I eventually called it quits about 3AM, mainly because the bar had stopped serving and I was starting to sober up, but the music had gone more in a dance direction than the fun pop they'd been playing.

Still, like most unexpected nights out, a lot of fun.
