Under normal circumstances, I could carry four tall lager glasses on a tray with no issues. But with my head feeling as fuzzy as it did, I really had to concentrate as I walked. I felt relieved when I got to the table with no spillages, and started to unload them on to the table one by one.

I managed to get three down, but as I attempted to grab the fourth, I knocked it with my knuckles and it fell off the tray and straight into the lap of the handsome blonde man.

I don't know who was more shocked; me for knocking it over, or him for being totally drenched. He sat there for a moment in disbelief, then looked up at me.

'You fucking idiot,' he said.

'I'm so sorry,' I said, mortified at what I'd just done. 'I'll get you a cloth.'

'A cloth is no good,' he screamed. 'This outfit is ruined. Do you know how much it cost?'

'I'm sorry, I'll pay for it.'

'It would take you a year to pay for it on your wage.'

'I said I'm sorry.'

'Go and get me your manager.'

I didn't have to. Gary had heard the commotion outside and had come to investigate.
