Guys are Assholes

[Oz]

A random chapter from my big story, I havent found a place for it yet. Let me know what you think.

Mike was at a party the next Friday night, trying to relax in a hammock, smoking a cigarette, cuddling with a new girl named Rachelle. She was pretty. Goddamn, she was pretty. She had dark hair, dark skin, and dark eyes? She was so little. He thought that if he tried hard enough, he could probably hold her whole body in just one hand. He was sitting in the hammock with Rachelle, kissing her neck softly, watching the skinny dippers wander in and out of the hot tub, when his girlfriend walked through the doors of the house, outside to where he was sitting.

?Shit!? he thought to himself. ?Awww?fuck! What am I gonna do now?? He got up quickly from the hammock, and tossed the cigarette away. The girl?s name was Shannon, and she didn?t like Mike smoking. She didn?t like Mike much at all though, he had noticed, and he was pretty sure that she wasn?t going to like him cheating on her, especially with a pretty little girl like Rachelle.

In all honesty, Mike didn?t really know why he was going out with Shannon. She wasn?t his type, and he wasn?t her type. The real reason that he was going out with her would never come out, but in the back of his mind, he knew that it had something to do with losing a bet to one of his friends. He smirked at that thought, and wondered what she would do if he told her that he had only gone out with her because he had lost a bet. She wouldn?t cry, he knew that. Shannon wasn?t really the type of girl to cry. She would just walk away and never speak to him again, actually thinking that that was some kind of punishment. He almost laughed out loud at that one, but he had to regain his composure before she got too close to him.

?Hey baby? I thought you weren?t coming to this party tonight? What?s going on?? He tried to put on the charm, and to block her view of the hammock, and Rachelle.

?Nothing is going on Mike. I just decided that I wanted to come. I just thought that maybe I should. Maybe you would be missing me.? Her tone was sinister, and Mike thought to himself that it might be too late to pull out of this one. At least he hadn?t really talked to her that much. She didn?t really know that much about him; that was a good thing.

?Yeah, I was missing you. You?re a good judge of character, you know that? Hey, but you know what? Why don?t we go talk for a while? Maybe behind those trees?? He nodded his head towards the back of the yard, away from the hot tub, away from the doors, and especially, away from the hammock. Rachelle had been good this whole time, nice and quiet, and Mike knew that she would not object to the girlfriend of the guy she had just been kissing being lead away from her.

Shannon didn?t nod, or make any sign of acknowledgement, but when he steered her away, keeping his body between her and the hammock, she moved with ease. They were walking towards a patch of trees, and Mike tried kissing her on the cheek. She pushed him away, though, as was her normal behavior. She was very conscientious of things like that. She was what a lot of people, including Mike, would call a prude. This was not something that made Mike happy.

When they got behind the trees, Mike moved to kiss her on the lips, and she let him, but only for a second. Mike knew what was coming, and decided to move quickly.

?So Shannon?What?s up? Why are you here? I think we need to talk.?

?You?re damn right we need to talk Mike. Who the hell is that girl? And what the hell were you doing with her??

?Shannon, don?t start okay? That girl was nobody and I wasn?t doing anything with her. You know that and I know that. That girl has nothing to do with our problems. Look, we are just totally different people. There?s no sense in even trying to make this work, cuz there?s nothing to work here. Look, I?m sorry to end it this way, but can we still be friends?? Inside his mind he was shouting, ?FREE! FREE!? but on the outside, he looked as though he were ready to cry. It was a trick that he had perfected long ago.

?Fine. If that?s the way that it?s got to be, then that?s the way it?s got to be. But Mike, I just want you to tell me the truth on one thing, kay? Just one thing. Did you ever cheat on me?? She looked him straight in the eye.

He gazed straight back at her. ?No. And I never would.?

Shannon turned and walked away. He stayed there for another minute, until he heard her tires peel out in front of the party house, signaling that she was gone. Then, he went back towards the hammock, winked at Rachelle and pulled her back towards the seclusion of the trees. Her mouth tasted like Winterfresh gum, and she had no qualms about where he kissed her or for how long.

Afterwards, she fell asleep in the grass, under the cool moon, and Mike held Rachelle?s entire body in one hand. He sung softly to himself the tune that he had heard on the radio earlier, ?Teenage Guide To Popularity?. ?I think there ought to be a one month limit on dating as well,? he thought to himself. His face turned into a smirk and he laughed quietly to himself. Tonight had been he and Shannon?s two-week mark. He was an asshole.
