Jameson and Paul sat in relative silence meditating on their astronomical bar tab. They kept staring at it as if doing so would somehow make it go away. Like monks who had taken a vow of silence, the two chose not to talk about what had just happened. Instead, they tried to figure out how to divvy up the bill. &quot;Did we _really_ drink _that many_ margaritas?&quot; Paul asked, his stomach lurching. &quot;_We_ didn't,&quot; Jameson replied. &quot;You and Becca did. The way I figure it. I'm on hook for three margaritas and the fajitas. I'll get the chips and salsa.&quot; &quot;You're a regular saint,&quot; Paul chided. &quot;_You'll get the chips_. My portion of the tab is over a hundred dollars, but rest assured you've got the chips!&quot; &quot;A little high-strung, are we?&quot; Jameson asked. &quot;This isn't by chance about... &quot; &quot;Don't even say it,&quot; Paul interjected. &quot;Being rejected, is it?&quot; Jameson finished his thought. &quot;Did _you_ see that coming?&quot; Paul asked, setting his bruised ego aside for a moment. &quot;I could've seen _it_ coming from a million miles away.&quot; 2008-06-10T03:24:37Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/33754 <p>aww poor baby got stuck with the check.
