A Double-Date

“I promise,” Becca said, with a shrug. “Now, can you tell me already?”

“Okay, I realize you don’t really know me, but I have a huge favor to ask of you. Paul Savage asked me out tonight, but I’m hesitant to go out with him alone because I’ve heard he has quite the reputation.”

“I can save you some time, honey.” Becca said, “Paul may be handsome, but he’s only got one thing on his mind. You’d be better off going after Jameson.”

Becca put her hand to her mouth. She couldn’t believe what she had just said. She had practically invited her enemy to take her man.

Prandi laughed.

“Is something funny?” Becca asked.

“Jameson is a sweet boy, but Paul is a rugged, sexy, handsome man.”

Becca was beside herself. “Jameson is way sexier than Paul!” Becca yelled into the phone. “And if you can’t see that you’re a complete…”

“So, you and Jameson will double with me and Paul tonight?”

“Yes,” Becca said, feeling duped.

“Chili’s at 7PM. Don’t be late.”

Jameson smiled at his lab partner. Their plan had worked.
