What She Said
This is for Raymond G Taylor's "Oh Jeff, I Love You Too But.." Challenge
Introduction
This is for Raymond G Taylor's "Oh Jeff, I Love You Too But.." Challenge based on the detail from the Lichtenstein painting and you can read about it and enter below
The music is Tracey Ullman's cover of the Kirsty McColl song "You Broke My Heart In Seventeen Places (Shepherd's Bush Was Only One)"
This is just a light-hearted piece inspired by the challenge and the song.
What She Said
"Oh, Jeff... I love you too... but..."
Ah, but what? she's got my name wrong again (it is Mike), there's always someone better than me. I just took her for a weekend in Monaco, cost me a fortune, all champagne and caviar and a penthouse suite.
No sex, of course, she always had an excuse, headache, tired, and then stayed up all night watching her favourite soaps.
And now we're back she has something (probably someone) more important than me, but I know she will be back when I have my next weekend in Paris or Berlin, the I will be her true love until we touch down at the airport again.
Maybe I should go back to New York and stay there and delete her from my contacts.
I am sure someone loves me, somewhere.
As Felix Dennis once said (though I may be wrong here),
"When You Become Rich, You Cannot Make New Friends"
Though I will never follow that because I do, rightly or wrongly, trust people

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

That was great. Poor Mike. Well done.
Awesome humorous microfiction story!!! Fun and entertaining!!!❤️❤️💕
Nope, when rich you make lots of friends, just not true friends, unless you get lucky. Hope u r rich and lucky.
Trust no one, that's my policy. But do I I follow it? Nope 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Loved your story!
This was a different take on this story. Great work.
first off laughed with the wrong name... then the reality of that poor ( not poor, rich) person being abused was not funny
OMG! That was so funny! What a great spin.....it's Mike! Hahahaha
Outstanding! Go Mike! 💪🏾
I like your unique take on this Challenge by Raymond. I had fun reading these stories.
Great story and with added a/v from the wonderful Tracey Ullman. Sad reminder of Kirsty McColl's tragic young death too. I met Kirsty in Croydon in the 70s when she was playing with a not-very memorable punk group. Good to read a story that sticks up for Jeff (or Mike) too!
From the perspective of the guy! Yes, we probably shouldn't have such types in our address books.
