The Fireman

Number: 2

Length: 2 years

If I had to describe this relationship in three (ish) words, I would say: kinky, shocking, and serious

That Time I Hid in An Alleyway

Friends, I’ve got an embarrassing story to tell you, and it resulted in… well, that the title says: I hid in an alleyway. It all started yesterday, when I got a text, totally out of the blue, from Number 5: The Fireman.

I Went On A Date with The Fireman

Well, I’m pretty sure the title says it all, don’t you? Date is probably too strong a word, but to be honest, it wasn’t far off. It was awkward, cute, and actually quite a lot of fun. And not, it didn’t lead to a kiss at the end of the night. Don’t worry. Jock has nothing to worry about. I had been bowling with the…

Should I Get Back With My Ex? (But Not The One You Thought!)

Something happened last night with The Fireman. We were chatting as we seem to do these days and it wasn’t long before we were reminiscing about old times… But not the good times, oh no. The bad times; the really, really bad times. It started innocently enough - we were talking about what we would do if we had an endless supply of cash and…

The Fake Date

So, yeah, I went on that date with The Fireman. Yep, that’s right. I went on a date with a man I broke up with over ten years ago. I’ll never learn from my mistakes will I? In my defence it wasn’t really a date. He’d told me he wanted to start a business and needed a helping hand with some of the website-y stuff.…

Backup No. 2

Not content with The Director and Plan B vying for my attentions, I decided I needed to make things even more complicated. Despite our last ‘date’ being so terribly shocking, I have decided to go on a ‘second date’ with The Fireman. That’s right. I’m that dumb. I think I just get myself in these situations where I find it really difficult to say no…

Number 5: The Fireman

I was young and dumb when I met Number 5, The Fireman. He was young and dumb too, but somehow, I always looked even younger and dumber compared to him. He both intrigued and intimidated me from the first moment we met, full of ideas and plans to “take over the world.”

Fuck Me on The Pool Table

An idea lit up in my head like the metaphorical lightbulb moment, and I think it entered his head at exactly the same time. Slowly, almost in slow motion, we turned to look at each other. “Fuck me on the pool table,” I whispered. “Then fuck me on the fire engine.” He willingly obliged. Well, half of it, anyway.

That Grey Tie

The Fireman and I had been to a themed party, dressed in our fanciest gear. I’d worn the prettiest, floatiest dress and the highest espadrilles I owned. He’d worn a very smart suit with that grey tie that I couldn’t take my eyes off – long before Christian Grey made it a thing.

That Time I Cheated

I try not to have regrets, but one of the biggest regrets of my life is that time I cheated on The Fireman. It was a terrible move, done for reasons I can’t explain, and it started the downfall of a relationship that I actually wanted to last forever. Soundtrack: Poison - Alice Cooper. How It Started Fireman and I been together for around eight…

I Just Took It

A few nights after The Fireman found out that I’d cheated on him with Goth Boy, he arrived on my doorstep in the middle of the night, drunk out of his mind. He almost woke up the whole street as he banged on the door and yelled at the top of his lungs. One of the neighbours called the police on him, and he eventually…
