A Revisionist History

by thebetweenspace

Paul clearly believed in revisionist history. For someone who could hardly remember the last, say, fifteen hours, he had no problem filling Jameson in on all the details, many of which were completely untrue.

“After I sealed the deal with Becca, she was like, ‘Paul, tell me I’m worth more than a one-night-stand.’ What kinda girl talks like that after sex, honestly? She might as well have screamed, “Affirm me! Affirm me!”

“You slept with her?” Jameson said, suddenly feeling jealous. But why should he feel jealous? He was crazy about Prandi, not Becca. Right?

Righteous indignation swept through his veins. “You knew how I felt about her!”

He took a swing at Paul, who on account of his swollen eye, never saw it coming, but took it standing nevertheless.

“I’m sorry, did you say something?” Paul said, laughing. “I was distracted. I think a mosquito just bit me.”

When Jameson stormed out of the room, Paul called Sassy. “I think it worked. He’s on his way right now. You better be right about this.”

    i love a good conspiracy but if i have to get hit in the eye it better result in something altruistic and beautiful. just teasing it better get me laid later on. still just teasing, kind of but not really.

    Wow. This is not going to go well. Just when I was starting to feel that Paul wasn’t so bad…

    This series is the highlight of my mornings. I love logging in and finding out what these zany 20 somethings are doing. Anyway, I asked my Obi Won Kenobi magic 8-ball if Kreepy Karl would be over at Becca’s when Jameson arrives, and he said “Possibly”. Why in the cornbread hell does the force have to be so elusive. WHY ?!?!
    Sorry Master Kenobi, I will be mindful of my emotions.

    You’ve got sequel! And if you don’t mind, I think I’m going to double-dip and post another sequel to mine. I have an idea…
