Who: Evan and Rebecca
What: a proposal
When: Thursday night on the phone after Evan's phonecall with Gabe



Rebecca picked up her cell phone and flipped it open.

"'Allo?"

"Hey, Rebecca? It's Evan."

"Aye, Evan. Good to hear from yea, mate. What's goin' on?"

"Nothing. Just..you know, prepping for finals and such. And apparently, you know, having rampant sex with you and the rest of the british population. Or so everyone on the forum thinks."

"Ha, sorry 'bout that. Thought I'd play it up a bit. Make people jealous."

"Thats quite alright. Stick to that thought for a minute. You don't have a boyfriend, am I right?"

"That'd be quite right."

"Do you want one? I mean...me."

"Well, hell luv, you know how to make a girl pause. I suppose I wouldn't mind. You're a cute bloke."

"For jealousy."

"What?"

"Alright. I'm just going to lay it out. There's this girl. Her name is Emily. We dated a few months back, and breaking up with her was...the biggest mistake I've ever made. Hell, I'd die for this girl. I have died for her. I mean...metaphorically speaking, of course. And...she's with this guy, this bloke, as you say. And I want to win her back by showing her I can change."

"Oh yea? I'm all for manipulation, luv, so count me in. Nothin' like true love after all."

"I figure if we play house, and you act like I'm the best boyfriend there is, she'll realize I've changed and she'll get jealous."

"Best boyfriend there is? Shall I pretend y'are the Prince Charming in me life, Evan? I'm sure I could manage that."

"Pretend my orgasms are what makes you breathe. Well...I mean, you won't need to pretend once you've experienced one. But pretend I'm the fucking sugar to your coffee."

"Oh ho someone is a bit cocky. I like it and aye, I'm quite game."

"Great. And any way you want to help making people jealous...I mean, go right ahead. I want her to ache for me like I ached for her."

"Right-o, luv. I'm sure I can conjure up a little bit o'this and that."

"I just have one question."

"Go ahead."

"If I kiss a guy, or if you hear I kiss a guy...what will your immediate reaction be?"

"Goin' a bit bi on me, luv? S'okay, I'd think it cute. Boys kissing boys is cute."

"It's all part of the manipulation process. There's this kid who I kind of fucked up. I need to make things right with him. If Emily sees I've made things right, perhaps she'll believe I've changed. Trust me...don't really want to do it."

"You are one interestin' man there, Evan. Do what you need to do, I'm simply here to help where I can."

"You won't regret it. I mean, I'm willing to throw in the perks..."

"I regret very little, so you're right. I think it is a deal, mate."

"Alright. Come over tomorrow for dinner and we can play it up to my father."

"I'll be over around 5?"

"Sounds like a plan...pumpkin."

"Sure does, honey. You have a good night, yea?"

"You too. Later."

"Night." *click*
