Well I came up with this randomly as I re-read my other Coronation Street fic - "Lloyd's New Year", It is written completly in the first person, it's from Lloyd's POV and it's just a little drabble one shot...
Not Perfect
God knows I'm not perfect, and I could have lived my life a lot better – More studying, less boozing and having a laugh, I could have made better decisions and been more careful with my money… But I didn't, and wasn't. – And that's all my own fault.
That's partly why I became a cab driver, though I do enjoy it… Well I'm not sure I do anymore…
Kelly threw my affair back at me, though technically that started long before we got together – it was something I needed to do, just like I wanted to own Dev's share of Street Cars.
And then I spent all that time getting back into Kel's good books… Don't know why I bothered really – I could have done without all the smacks, insults and beer showers… And there was the business of her nearly killing me with damn laxatives.
That would have been just GREAT on my tomb stone! – 'Lloyd Mullaney. Philandering taxi driver who was taken from us due to killer laxatives'.
Yet I kept on at her, romanced her with my scouse charm, stood by her after the mugging, gave her keys to my flat, put up with Becky, believed her about the thieving charge, and even when she dumped me again I mooched after her like a little lost puppy dog… I was so happy when she took me back… Because sleeping with Steve made her realise how much she loved me!
I suppose that's supposed to make me feel better? You sleep with my mate and business partner and then imply it 'helped' our relationship!
I felt like hitting her then – I really did, though I'm not that sorta man, I'm above hitting a woman… Wouldn't mind decking Steve one though…
I don't know how I'm going to work with him, I know I can't forgive him though – Or her… Even though it's hurting me too as I still love her… I can't forgive them though; I know I should try… But I can't. If I was a perfect man I would, or at least pretend to, but I'm just… not perfect...
