Insufficiently Enthusiastic
flash fiction | bedroom video
“I heard you and Patricia broke up again.”
“It was mutual.”
“Actually, I heard she called the police to throw you out.”
“Well, it was more like they came to calm her down.”
“Didn’t you smash the window?”
“That’s what she said. But I told the police if they go outside and take fingerprints off the vodka bottle, they would only find hers.”
“She said you hit her?”
“When I mentioned a bedroom video of her begging for a spanking and then yelling that I was insufficiently enthusiastic, she withdrew her accusation and told the police she was drunk at the time.”
“So, you didn’t spend the night in jail?”
“It was late and I was too tired to go anywhere else, so I asked if I could. But they declined.”
[pause]
“Why do you keep getting back together?”
“A complete lack of common sense.”
“So… she called yet?”
“Twice.”
“You know, there are better ways to ruin your life?”
“Sure, but most of them don’t involve make-up sex.”
