A Love Story.
Me and my man only met a short while ago whilst working on a show together. We were thrown into a theatre situation, having never met, where I was showcalling, he was on sound, I was telling him what to do and he obeyed, and we both fancied each other rotten. Of course, there's plenty of time to fill between each cue, as well as flirting to be done, so we started chatting.

For the first time in my life, I found myself really, REALLY sparking off someone. Every line one of us said, the other had an instant comeback. Aside from how great this was, it was also extremely sexy, and it wasn't long before we'd abandoned all pretence of professionalism and were an item.

Then the show moved venues, and we got a new sound guy. Who on comms, spent most of the time listening to constant filth.

A particular line where I was innocently saying I would buy lumpfish caviar to eat on toast because it was a "quick way to get some protein inside me" was met with the standard "I know a quicker way", accompanied by a high-five from lighting.

Every night, we would try to better it with more filth and innuendo, and every night we'd achieve it. I can't remember them all. I often ended up in tears seconds before a cue was due.

The other day, we were walking down the street, now happily together in a fantastic, happy and genuinely supportive and fun relationship, without even trying I add, and during a brief conversation where he was extoling his own virtues and defending himself against being an idiot about something I accused him of for a laugh, I told him that for my money, he was just a cunt. He looked shocked at me for a moment, I started to apologise, before he told me to stop and then cracked up laughing - I had just proven to him, apparently, that we were completely perfect for one another, and that was final.

So, accidental innuendo, deliberate innuendo, and calling your man a very rude word can, oddly, lead you to remarkable things. We're genuinely in love, I'm dead happy, AND I get to be as rude and as filthy as I like and I'm still thought of as sexy, and the same goes for him.

Sorry, Just thought you'd like to know.
