The Things You Do For Love

This is a story about an office love triangle. The names have been changed, not to protect the innocent but to save me from being sued.

Let me introduce you to the three people involved. First with have John, who is a mid-level manager at a local division of as multinational communications company. John has good tech skills as well has management skills. He also has a love of sports, gadgets, video games, and 007. John is dating the comely Darcy, who is dumb as a post, but a ridiculous social climber. She does have a great body and she knows how to wear clothes to show it off and attract the attention of people who can help her move up from her entry level position. Finally, we have Mark. Mark is friends with John and is a senior manager on the marketing side of the communications business.

John, Darcy and Mark hang out together often. They all get along well. Then a rift appears between Darcy and John. John just isn’t providing what Darcy needs. They break up. A couple of weeks later, Darcy and Mark start dating. Darcy tells John that nothing happened until they broke up and Mark is still John’s friend. Darcy and Mark are now engaged to be married.

John, who, as I said, has good tech skills, knows that Darcy is a lying whore, because he is a paranoid bastard who kept logs of all of Darcy’s IMs while they were living together. Seems that Mark and Darcy had been negotiating for the past six months or so and while they were trying to avoid pissing off John, they didn’t really care either way. Mark was the one who instigated the relationship with Darcy, by the way.

So, John called out Mark and Darcy and work was all a tizzy for a long, long time. People eventually accepted Darcy and Mark’s relationship and all John was left with was memories; some good, some bad. Oh…and videos. Lots and lots of videos. Videos that would make Rick Santorum blush. It seems that Darcy wasn’t particularly fond on anal. But she would do it and John would tape it. From multiple angles. Apparently, there are quite a few of these videos, which John is willing to share with others, who like John, have been invited to Mark and Darcy’s wedding. It should make for fun, albeit drunken, toasts.
