New girlfriend for Sam!
by Sam Harty
"Oh Jeff... I love you too, but..."
A cold sick feeling punched Jeff in the gut.
"There's someone else, Jeff, I'm so sorry my dear."
The words came out in deafening echoes, the precise thing he didn't want to hear.
Jeff felt like crying but he wouldn't let her hear him being such a wimp even though she'd just broke his heart, basically giving him a mental mind fucking limp.
She told him it wasn't him, it was her.
What a cliche he thought feeling completely spurned.
"I like women, Jeff and I didn't realize it at the start. I met a girl named Sam and she's quite a saucy tart."
Jeff's voice broke, along with his will to live, he said he couldn't go on without her and the love she used to give.
Please stop all the drama Jeff you cheated on me with my sister six months ago.
Jeff said, "but baby that was a mistake, I was drunk and I told you so."
"Now it doesn't matter, it's over for us. I'm running away with Sam to New Orleans on the next greyhound bus."

Hi Sam, sorry to pester but are you happy to agree to me using this and/or other stories from the challenge in our new book of Oh, Jeff... ? Not a problem if you prefer not to participate, it is entirely up to you. Thanks, Ray
Congratulations… definitely a plot twist!
Congratulations you have to go where the heart takes you
True love knows no boundaries!
Congratulations on your win 😊💖😊 I have sent the prize tip
Ohhh, Jeff…. 2024 was a bad year. Maybe 2025 will be a better one! Great story, Sam! Good luck!
Love how you brought yourself into the mix. Jeff never saw that coming.
New Orleans on a bus....I give that relationship one month at most
Hahaha, Sam you put yourself in this story. Great dramatic ending. You are on a roll.
For a minute I though it was the real Sam who got the girl. But it was girl Sam who got the girl? Gender bender here, hope Sam gets his way too.
This was great!!💗💕
Loved this one. Such a great outcome and glad Sam was the winner. Really made me smile. Really heart warming. Thanks for your entry and for supporting the challenge

Just a tad of displacement there Sam? 😉😂 Actually, I like it. Add quotation marks for,dialog.
