Elaine, Jackson and I Ch. 06

Chapter 6 -- Beginnings - Part One

That fateful Wednesday proved to be pretty boring at work and I spent most of the morning looking at figures that barely moved. Botswana was quiet again; Charlie was pretty much running the Central African currencies by himself and I had time on my hands. Once again I could daydream about Elaine and Jackson; I thought about that vision I had witnessed under the beach tower and Elaine's sudden increased interest in, shall we say, being a mucky little cow with me; it was a side to her I had seen rarely but I had to admit I had enjoyed.

It had all started when I had worked in a large bank in the City of London. As a single man, who was quiet by nature, I liked to take my lunch alone and disliked all that 'let's go to the pub' crap that my contemporaries needed; besides I preferred wine or coffee. Hence each lunchtime saw me in a local coffee house with a sandwich, an expresso and a copy of the Financial Times. I was, the typical quiet man in the corner, in a sober suit, minding his own business that is until one day.

"They've run out of brown sugar. May I have some of yours please?" I looked up from my FT and there she was -- Venus, Madonna, Brigitte Bardot, Marilyn Monroe and Raquel Welch all rolled into one; that is, in a 'regulation' grey trouser suit, white blouse, sensible glasses and just the slightest touch of a Cockney accent. I just stared. I couldn't help it, because nobody ever talks to the man in the corner do ...

"Sorry," was my reply, "you caught me unawares. Please take the bowl." And from that incongruous start we chatted, found that we had plenty in common (I thought) and thereafter met every day to discuss the merits of banking, football (she was and still is an Arsenal supporter -- silly girl), her friends, my friends (a very short conversation) and whatever took our fancy. It was also becoming very clear that she looked forward to our lunchtime meeting where we shared our sandwiches, opinions and intimacies; similarly, she had become very important to me -- yes folks, I was in love with Elaine from the very first moment. And she? She had a 'live in' Boyfriend called Nathaniel (Nat).

Nat, it turned out was a black boxer from that famous pub in the Old Kent Road that had run stables of famous British boxers since before the war. He was a fierce fighter with a reputation for badly hurting his opponents; he was however, devastatingly handsome (even his scars made many a pair of knickers wet) and liked to play the field when he was not in training. Elaine was his 'Woman', as he called her and as one might expect of such a thug, he did not like others showing an interest in her. Elaine, I found out ...
