Lynne and Glenys did not have a fight that day. When Glenys came into work the following day, she said she was leaving. She did not go to the dentist, she had gone for a job interview. She was told at the end of the interview she had got the job. She give her notice of four weeks. Lynne give a sigh of relief that she was going. I asked Lynne was she going to have a fight with her before she left. Lynne thought it was now not worth it. I did try to persuade Lynne to have a fight with her on her last day. I even said to Lynne that I would tell Glenys that she wanted a fight with her. Lynne simply said "Don't you dare!".
Glenys's last day came. It was shortly before I left. There was the usual goodbyes. Lynne was not in work that day. It seemed that there would not be a fight between them. Lynne would occasionally see Glenys walking about usually at lunch time. They would not bother with each other. Other than that their paths would not cross. The company that Glenys now worked for merged with the company Lynne worked for. The department Glenys worked for, was transferred to the same building and level where Lynne worked. After 13 years their paths really crossed. Lynne tolerated her for another year....
My mobile phone had rung, but I could not answer it. It would be another 30 minutes or so before I could even look at it. When I had chance to look, it read:- 1missed call & 1message left. I did not recognise the number, but decided to listen to the message. Message was from Lynne- " Hi Marc, this is my new number. Call me back when you can. I'm having a fight with Glenys on Thursday. Remember where I was going to have a fight with her before? Bye." I rang Lynne. She told me where and at what time. 5pm. She told me to either wait outside their new office, or at the car park. I told her I would wait outside the office.
Thursday came and I phoned Lynne again. They were still going to have a fight, but not in the car park. They were going to fight in the park. This was going to be a real fight between two ladies. Lynne is now aged 54, Glenys is now aged 49.
I arrived outside the office at 4:58. There was nobody around. Five O'clock came still nobody. Two minutes later, two women aged about forty came out. They both waited outside. Lynne then came out. She looked at me. Before I could say anything, one of the other two women spoke to Lynne. "She hasn't come out yet." Lynne looked at her, "OK, we'll just wait." Lynne then came to me."It's definitely on this time." She smiled, but it seemed too much put on. She was worried. Four more women came out, they waited with the other two women. Glenys then came out, she was with six women. Glenys looked at me but did not say anything. Other than Lynne and Glenys, I only knew two of the women in the group, Jane and Yvonne. "Right," said one of the women,"over the park."
It seemed strange. Lynne and Glenys walked at the front of the group next to each other. They did not say anything or look at each other. Bad feeling was deep between them. We all walked through the gates into the park. There was quite a few people walking about so we went further into the park. There was less people about. "By here?" one of the women said. "No, past the trees." Glenys replied. Lynne did not say anything but kept walking towards the trees. We all walked amongst the trees on a small dirt path. We came to a clearing. "By here!" Lynne said sharply and stopped walking. She took off her coat and put it on the ground, her bag on top of her coat. Glenys walked five or six paces further. She took off her coat and put it on the ground and also put her bag on top of her coat. She turned to face Lynne.
Lynne and Glenys looked at each other. Lynne, quite a thin woman with dark brown straight hair reaching down to just above her shoulders, was wearing a lemon colored skirt that went just below her knees. On the top part of her body, she was wearing a thin long sleeved white blouse. Her white bra was visible through her blouse. She had black shoes on with a rounded point at the toes. Glenys, slightly of a bigger build than Lynne but still quite slim with relatively short ginger curly hair, was wearing a light blue skirt that went a little above her knees. On the top part of her body, she was wearing white long sleeved blouse slightly thicker in cotton than Lynne's. Her pink bra could just be visible through her blouse. She had dark blue shoes on, again with a rounded point at the toes.
Lynne rushed towards Glenys, at the same time, Glenys took a step forward towards Lynne. Has Lynne got close to Glenys, she stretched out her arms and went to grab hold of Glenys's hair. Glenys lashed out with with her fist in a diagonal swipe from left to right, hitting Lynne's arms out of the way. The force of this, knocked Lynne slightly off balance. Glenys, quick has a flash, grabbed hold of Lynne's hair with both hands. She pulled Lynne off balance dragging her to the ground. Lynne screamed out in pain has she fell to the ground. Has Lynne fell, she lashed out trying to grab hold of something to regain her balance. Lynne's right hand caught hold of Glenys's blouse. Has she fell, she tore open Glenys's blouse. Glenys kept hold of Lynne's hair, she was not concerned her pink bra was now exposed. Lynne was now being dragged across the ground in a circular way by her hair. Her legs were moving has though she was crawling, but she was being dragged too fast for her knees to grip the ground. Three times Glenys dragged Lynne around in a full circle before she left go of he hair. Lynne fell flat on the ground face down then rolled over several times away from Glenys. One of the women watching grabbed hold of Glenys by the arm, "Let her get up!" she said sharply. Glenys made no attempt to do her blouse up. Her nipples could be seen erect through her bra.
Lynne started to get up has quick has she could. Has she did, her skirt got caught under the heel of her shoe. Has Lynne stood upright, her skirt dropped. She tried to grab hold of her skirt with her hands but was not quick enough. There were a couple of gasps has everybody had a full frontal view of her yellow knickers. Her blouse did not reach down has far has her knickers. At the same time, Glenys rushed back at her. Both women grabbed hold of each others hair. For a minute or so they remained motionless has though they were locked together. Lynne then tried to pull Glenys's head back and forth by her hair. Glenys tried to knee Lynne between the legs. Again they remained motionless holding each others hair. They stayed like this for another two or three minutes. Lynne then started to push herself against Glenys. Glenys took several steps back before falling over backwards with Lynne falling down on top of her.
Glenys tried to push Lynne off her by trying to roll sideways. Lynne counteracted this by slightly spreading her legs out. The force of the fall had made her blouse rise slightly up her back. There was now a full back view of her knickers. Lynne started to hit the back of Glenys's head against the ground. This she done at least a dozen times. Glenys kept hold of Lynne's hair. Glenys's legs thrashed around has she tried to move about to dislodge Lynne off her. Her skirt was rising up her legs, but not high enough to see her knickers. Glenys rose her legs up and at the same time dug her heels in to give her grip. With one mighty push, she moved Lynne off her. Lynne let go of her hair and rolled away from her. Both women scrambled onto their feet.
Standing up, they both faced each other. Glenys's hair did not look to bad, Lynne's hair was looking out of shape. Both women again grabbed hold of each others hair. Lynne started to pull Glenys's hair back and forth, Glenys done the same. Both women were shrieking in pain. Lynne kicked Glenys several times in the legs. Glenys just kept pulling hair. Lynne screamed out loud has several strands of hair were pulled out. Glenys's face was red, her eyes were watering. Lynne's face was even redder her eyes were watering and she was beginning to fill up ready to cry. Glenys started to kick Lynne in the legs. Tears started to roll down Lynne's face. "I've had enough!" Lynne cried out. She let go of Glenys's hair and turned to run but fell to the ground. Glenys was still holding Lynne's hair has she fell. Lynne screamed out, Glenys let go of her hair. Lynne lay on the ground her arms around her head. She started to cry. The women watching crowded around to keep Glenys from her. Glenys fell to her knees, she was shaking in a little bit of shock. Her nipples were still visibly erect through her bra.
One of the women started to do Glenys's blouse up to cover up her bra. Two women lifted Glenys up, picked up her coat and bag and started to walk her away. Lynne remained crying on the ground for several minutes. One woman picked up Lynne's skirt and covered her knickers over with it. They eventually lifted Lynne up onto her feet. She stood there in her knickers for a minute or so still crying before she put her skirt back on. One of the women picked her coat and bag up. Once back out of the trees and on the main path through the park they made sure Glenys had gone. Jane took her home in her car.
Afterwards Lynne said she would not have another fight. Once was enough.
