Phil was shocked. He had not expected this response from Jessica. She had always treated him with scorn. But, just now, when he proposed, she leapt up in the air, jumped on the table and danced with some waiters before running outside. Phil wiped his spectacles and slowly walked to the streets.
Jessica was now dancing on the streets. Amused bystanders stared at her. Phil smiled. He had not known that that he was so irresistible. Meanwhile, Jessica thought of what she had heard a while ago, about Phil’s family and their millions.

I guess everyone has their hidden agendas. She will do a lot for money. 🙂
Yes and she is not even subtle. Would you like to read part 2, which is the latest post? Thank you very much for reading:)
Poor Phil!
True. Thanks kindly for reading
Run Phil, run! Original take on the prompt, enjoyed it.
Thank you very much:)
What a gem, she is – as real as zirconia.
She is, isn’t she:) thank you.
Oh my word! I wish Phil could see what she’s thinking.
And phil does in part 2. Thank you so much, uzoma
Phil is not very bright to propose to a girl who always treated him with scorn. A fool and his money are soon parted–Thomas Tusser
Yes, but love is blind and shameless. Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Fools and money and the foolish are not together for so long. Sorry Phil, sorry Jesscia. Enjoyed the story, but I feel sorry for Phil.
You are right. But, do read part 2 when you have time. Thank you.
Great twist – I was believing that her happiness was born out of love until then!
Oh, you are right:) jessica is the wrong person. Glad you liked it
Happens me all the time…
Hope not. Thank you for reading:)
I did wonder, given that she had always treated him with scorn… Let’s hope he has a good lawyer who insists on a pre-nuptial!
Lol. Good idea. Thank you:)
Poor Phil. He has no idea what he’s getting into.
He does not probe further, but believes what he sees. Thank you
You’re welcome. 🙂
Show me the money and I will “love” you (the money).
That is jessica’s motto. Thanks for the comment
Clever twist – or even pirouette – at the end…yep…happens!
It happens to the unfortunate. Thank you, pirate
Oh dear – A gold digger!
Poor Phil.
Yes, a real gold digger. Thank you, rosy
hehehe she’s not even smart enough to act subtle about it 😀
Yep:) she is so happy with her good fortune that she forgets to be subtle:)
Aha there had to be a purpose… a scheming lady indeed.
Thank you, bjorn
Oooh, now I see. She was a bit of a Gold-digger, barking up the wrong tree…
Nice follow up the one I read first. 🙂
Happy you liked it, jules, and thank you for reading both
haha very amusing. silly Phil. sounds like a win-win situation to me. lol ^^ cute, reminded me of old marilyn monroe films 🙂
Thank you, kz:))
Dear Nightlake,
I have to wonder why in the world he’d propose to someone who’d always treated him with scorn. Apparently he thrives on rejection. The ending line answered my question and made me laugh.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Dear rochelle, thank you so much and glad you liked it:)
Dear Nightlake,
I loved this story’s story. The repetition of the word, ‘streets’ was a tad off putting but that’s a minor detail. So too is the question of what the waiters were up on the tables for to begin with.
The ending was great. Still laughing here. Good job,
Aloha,
Doug
Dear doug, thank you so much. The pic was a great inspiration
Beautifully constructed with a great twist.
Life in 100 words.
Thank you, elephant:)
cute story. Hope he has a pre-nuptial.
Scorned love has no bounds or something like that.. or a fool and his money are soon parted

Hi randy, thanks for reading
For a moment I was charmed by her elation.
But it was short-lived. Thank you for stopping by, dawn
I read this story backwards, from the bottle to this one, but really enjoyed watching both scenes played out. I can see the story on the big screen with all the drama. 😊 Love it!!
Glad you could visualize it, sunshine:) thank you
