Weekly Tuesday story from a song lyric, seemed like the obvious choice this week, so I\u2019ve tried to make it obscure..ish.<\/p>\n
It was valentine morning and Wendy jumped into the shower early. She had a nine o\u2019clock meeting, so it was important to get off to a good start to the day, but, more importantly for her, she wanted to be sure to leave the bathroom clear for Matthew.
\nShe had moved in with him three months ago after a two year romance. He worked in accounts on the floor below hers and was the pick of the bunch in the office restaurant at lunchtimes, the subject of speculation from all the girls. Maureen was Wendy\u2019s best friend and competitor when it came men.
\n\u201cBet he\u2019s already taken, they usually are.\u201d she said when they were on their way down in the lift one wet Wednesday in January.
\n\u201cWho do you mean?\u201d
\n\u201cWho do I mean? Wendy, you know full well who I mean. I\u2019ve seen you watching him with his tray of steaming sausages and mash.\u201d
\n\u201cOh, you mean Matthew. Matthew the wonder charmer. No, he\u2019s free as a bird. I know that for a fact. Well, I checked with HR last week.\u201d
\n\u201cWendy, well, well, innocent little Wendy. You cheeky girl. Well you\u2019re in with a good chance there, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
That was it, Maureen got the bit between her teeth and set the ever-so-shy Wendy up for a date. She just came out and told Matthew while he was in the soup queue that very day.
\n\u201cShe\u2019s interested you know. You only have to ask.\u201d
\nAnd he did, later that afternoon, he just phoned her up and asked her out. And that was it. Two years later, here they were on valentine morning sharing an apartment and getting ready for work.<\/p>\n
However, after the initial heat of passion, living together had become a bit of a challenge. They always needed the bathroom at the same time. Wendy to shower, the rest she could do in the bedroom, but Matthew seemed to spend hours in there preening himself and preparing himself for the day ahead. It had led to quite a few stormy journeys to work in the car together.<\/p>\n
So, today, valentine\u2019s day, Wendy decided to shower early and get going alone. She knew that if she stayed, she would only be in his way. So she went, knowing she would think of him every step of the way. She knew she would always love him, and it was her way to show it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
