An interesting evening...
So, I'm at Holly's place last night, relaxing and watching movies. A good time is being had by all. We then hear, from the other room, a message being left on her cell-phone's voice-mail. Instantly, we both know it's her ex, Alastair. Up for a bit of a laugh, we opt to listen to the message... Suffice it to say, the dear boy did not dissapoint. A slight bit of poetry, an epic trifle of a poem if you will, was left on the voice-mail. I'll spare you the details thereof, but it was definately good for a laugh. It's then that we decide to have me phone him back, not Holly... *evil chuckle*
Him- Hello...
Me- Hey, is this Alastair?
Him- ... yes...
Me- Hi, this is Tyrel. Holly's boyfriend.
Him- Oh hey, how's it going?
Me- Not too bad, I guess. Actually, I've got Holly's phone, you see, not her.
Him- ... really...
Me- Yeah... And I was just curious as to why you were leaving random bits of love poetry on her voice-mail...
Him- Well, see, I called and all I got was the machine, right? So I'm thinkin', "I have to say something clever..." And so I just spouted off a verse I had memorized...
Me- Riiight. You'll understand, of course, my reticence in this matter.
Him- Oh, absolutely, I completely understand.
Me- Well, I just wanted to make certain there was nothing I should be concerned abou... ((interupted))
Him- Do you think I'm going to try to steal your girlfriend?
Me- It's a distinct possibility that you'll try, yes.
Him- Well, to be honest with you, I am.
Me- Come now, Alastair, do you really think now is the best time to be honest with me? You'll have to understand if I'm cautious in this matter...
Him- I would think less of you if you weren't.
Me- Well, I suppose this leaves us at an impass.
Him- Well, I wouldn't go so far as to call it an impass...
Me- And what would you go so far as to call it?
Him- It's simply the nature of our interaction from hereon.
Me- Hm. Agreed. I'll discourage you from trying, as I do truly hope you're used to losing.
Him- I am.
Me- *smirk* Well, I suppose that concludes our business. I'll let Holly know you called.
Him- Yeah... thanks.
Me- Good evening.
Him- Cheerio. *click*
Holly/Me- *GUFFAW*
Really, it was quite entertaining.
