Hello all.
Sorry, but I'm getting addicted to these 750 stories. Your thoughts and constructive criticism are always welcome.
Those who hate the 750-word format, please stop now. I will be writing a fuller version, so if you don't want to know what happens, please wait.
I haven't had this edited, although I did ask their opinion.
So buckle up and hold on tight.

"Hello, Phil."
"Hello, Katie. Having a good time?" I ask.
"Same old, same old. How many years have we entertained ourselves?"
"Tenth, but fourth, where my wife has deserted me."
"Well, she has to mingle with the employees. She is the COO now, you know," Kath says, doing a good imitation of Sophia. I laugh and shake my head. "You don't smile anymore. I guess I ruined that for you."
"I ring up to get permission to take my loving wife away on a surprise holiday, and you invite me to lunch to see Fuckwit working his hooks into her. That will wipe the smile off any guy's face."
"So, how are we playing this?"
"We watch and wait. We've seen Fuckwit do this twice before, so we know how he operates. I will make sure he doesn't take my first dance with Sophia. We act normal, like we suspect nothing. When he goes to hide in the bathroom, leaving Sofia to tell me they will be sleeping together tonight, I will be there waiting."
"Does it change anything once you immobilize him?"
"No, the intent is there. Sophia won't know at the time she asks me. Just thought my wife knew his bullshit and reputation; we've taken the piss enough."
"So, is our deal still on?"
"Yes, as long as Sophia isn't in the taxi when I leave."
