Twin Peaks

You love them or hate them, office parties; I could not stand them, particularly this one given by my ex, and it was one of those awkward ones. It was my ex-girlfriends fortieth birthday party, and because she was the boss of the department, she had invited people from other departments as well. Some of whom I didn’t know, one of them was her new flame. We, that is my ex and I, had been together for six, nearly seven months; it was nice while it lasted. We left on amicable terms a month ago, we’re still friends. But it pains to see her every day, it brings back memories, and it hurts. The office building we worked in had a large conference room, she had all the tables and chairs put around the outside, which left a sort of dance floor in the middle. Around fifty people were expected and I helped her with stuff she wanted me to help her with. I didn’t mind, as most of the work was to be done if office hours. My name is Jack; I’m thirty three, white, and single. I work in the human recourses department for a large stationary company. I had my eye on someone, but not at work. It was someone from the gym I went to, that was still a work in progress. And the thing that stopped me from diving in was the fact that I still felt something for my ex, part of my heart still yearned for her. The day… well actually… the evening of the party; everyone promptly stopped work at their normal time. Some people like me went off home, as they like me did not live too far away, a short taxi ...

There was a DJ booked and caterers were hired for the food. I got back to the office at around seven thirty, and to be honest, there weren’t that many people there. I supposed being late was fashionable. The music was loud and the food was all laid out on the top table together with the drinks. There was a person acting as a barman. I saw the birthday girl with some of her, out of work place, friends. I went and said hello and happy birthday, and gave her a kiss on the cheek. I gave her a bunch of flowers I had picked up on the way there, nice ones, not trashy ones. Her new flame stood and stared at me. I got a drink and then joined some people from my department at a table, we chatted. People started to come along but it was another hour or so before the room looked like there was a party going on. I went to get a round of drinks for the few of us around my table. There was a lady who walked up at the same time as I did. We both raised our hands at the same time for the attention of the barman. I recognised her and said, “Oh hi, please you go first.” She said, “Hello, you’re very kind thank you.” I recognised her from when I had interviewed her about a month ago, for a job in accounts. I had forgotten her name, I felt embarrassed. She ordered her drinks and while we waited, I said to her, “Hi again, how are you getting on with your new ...
