What Guys Want, The Other Point of View

Becca tried a little wave, but Jameson was too busy inspecting his beer.

“What are you doing?” Sassy queried testily.

“Nothing,” Becca shrugged, playing it cool, “I’m just maintaining his attention. It’s a strategy.” She suddenly became very intent on inspecting her own beer.

With a playful punch to the arm, Sassy began the inquisition, “So, what did you two talk about?”

With an upward-aimed sigh, Becca puffed a bang back into place, “Nothing. I just blathered on like a total idiot.”

“Ooh,” Sassy moaned, “You did the question thing again?”

Becca didn’t answer.

“You did, didn’t you?” Sassy pressed, “How many times have I told you not to do the question thing? Guys don’t want to think. They just want to look at your tits and think they’re smart. Asking questions makes both nearly impossible!”

“Think I blew it?” Becca asked, her pale blue eyes fixed on her friend.

“Look, just cause we’re friends, I’ll go check with his wingman.” Before protest could be lodged, Sassy was gone.

I love Sassy. Not just because of her name (which reminds me of the magazine I read as a teenager … man, I’m getting old!) but because she reminds me of a lot of my friends. Unfortunately, I’m more of a Becca, only sans the pale blue eyes. :p
This was a neat detour into “the other side.”

Love the reverse angle you took here. And it will work perfectly with the sequel I just wrote. And I love Sassy and her use of the term wingman.

I love how both sides are acting in almost the exact same way, without them realizing.

Great job!
