When he awoke, his head felt like someone was drumming inside it - hard. The curtains were drawn and he was lying on his sofa with his shoes by the coffee table, the top two buttons of his shirt undone, a bucket by the side of the sofa, and a bottle of water with a glass already filled beside it on the table. A note leaning against it stated simply Drink. You’re dehydrated and hung over.

Big surprise there. As if he didn’t know. The house reeked of booze, he reeked of booze, and he was so hung over he felt like he could toss his innards fifty miles in two seconds.

Gorge rising in his throat, he gingerly took a drink of water.

Jesus, he’d gone on a bender last night. He hated getting drunk, hated losing control. The last time this had happened, he’d been out with some fellow students while in university and had woken up lying in his own vomit. The severity of that event, the realisation that he had no idea what he’d done the night before, and the sobering knowledge that he could have died, had him vowing to never get drunk again. He’d been a little tipsy once or twice, but he knew his limit.

Just look what a few words with his mother and aunty had reduced him to, not to forget his words with Cindy, too.

Women drove him to drink. That bender was proof. He had to start avoiding them.

Standing finally after two tries, he staggered carefully upstairs clutching the bottle of water in one hand. A cold shower had him gasping for air but he manfully ploughed on, padding around in boxer shorts while drinking the water, downing some coffee and forcing himself to eat some toast. Then he opened every window in the house and used the air freshener spray like there was no tomorrow.

The bin in the kitchen was empty, the cans cleared away. Good ol’ Mike, the mother hen, cleaning up after Tim and making sure he was all right before he left.

A couple of hours later he felt a bit better. Paracetamol, water, and a shower. He wasn’t good to go but he could at least sit without his head banging like bongo drums.

Sit and think. Think about what his aunt and mother had said. Maybe he was sadomasochistic. But he was happy like this, it was the way he chose to live. He didn’t need a woman in his life. Aunt Hannah had provided him with love of a motherly kind, while his mother was a right bitch who showed him that maintaining control was paramount if his life was to be his own.

His family was definitely different to Cindy’s family. Her mother was tall and held her weight well, wearing what she pleased and totally happy. Her father was kindly but shrewd. Her brothers were protective and while one was a real womaniser, the other was, well, he was a soldier that Tim saw only rarely.

But they loved each other.
