Petty Things

"I'm a god" said the blond across the table.

Bobby swallowed his beer trying not to cough. "Uhm, what?"

"I'm a god."

"You're God?"

"No, I'm A god. Little g." She held her thumb and forefinger close together. "Very little g."

He shook his head. How crazy was this chick?

He had finished his last final earlier that afternoon. When he got back to his apartment his roommate was busy getting high.

"Is that all you do?"

Jake set his bong down. "Of course not! I go to class. Sometimes. Just not all the time. Besides, I still pass all my tests."

Bobby mused for a minute on the sad fact that Jake did indeed pass all of his classes literally without trying.

"Whatever. I'm finally done with this semester."

He plopped down on the second hand couch beside Jake. Jake waggled his bong in his direction.

Bobby held up a hand. "No thanks."

"You need to lighten up a little buddy."

"I can't. I'm not like you. This doesn't come that easy to me."

"Hey, no classes tomorrow buddy. Let's go out tonight and celebrate. Get a drink. Shoot some pool. Maybe you'll even get lucky. Lord knows you need to work out some stress."

"I don't know. I'm really tired."

"Nope. Not hearing it. Tonight's the night we find you a little slice of heaven."

Five hours later he found himself at the counter of a bar trying to get the bartenders attention long enough to order. Looking around he saw Jake showing some brunette in daisy dukes how to play pool. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"You look like you could use some help" he heard from his right. He turned and saw a cute girl with long blond hair and bright green eyes in a red summer dress.

He smiled. "I think I might."

"It's a lot easier to get a drink when you have boobs. I'll tell you what; I'll get your order in if you buy me a beer. Deal?"

He glanced back at the bartender who was still not looking his direction. "Deal."

She pointed across the bar. "Why don't you grab us a table and I'll be right there."

"Sounds good, I've got a tab open under Bobby."

He rushed across the room and snagged a table right before another couple reached it. The girl gave him a sharp look while her boyfriend steered her away. A minute later the blond plopped two beers down on the table.

She did a little shimmy and said “I told you the girls could get it done.”

Bobby laughed and tried not to stare too long at said girls.

“I’m Stephanie by the way.”

He reached out his hand and said “Bobby.”

“Well Bobby O thanks for the beer.”

He held his bottle up in a salute before taking a sip. “So why is a pretty girl like you here alone?”

“I’m a serial killer looking for my next victim” she replied before taking a sip of her own.

Bobby chuckled nervously. “No really.”

“What, you don’t believe a girl could be a psycho killer?”

He smiled “Oh, not really. Not the cute ones at least.
