He sat down and lit a cigarette Took a sip of coffee and checked a lottery ticket Looks to me like he's got no balls Waitress lingers and hints for tips He explains he has to pay karma's debts He propositioned her with a simple bet He asked me to flip a coin and he'll choose heads
I couldn't partake as I only had paper money The waitress laughed but he didn't find it funny So I purchased an iced bun and let her keep the change I said if she wins the bet, on the tenner is where she'll find my number and name
This guy overheard and nearly choked on his attitude Said "are you for fucking real, dude?" I replied "no need for that, stop being so rude! I'm an opportunist just like you are but unlike you I'm no fool Here take this iced bun, I didn't want it anyways, but you look like you need some food"
The silence and tension was cut by the waitress She tossed a coin in the air which rolled and fell to reveal tails She said she'd ring me later tonight to go over the finer details I smiled, as did he, and this is why and how.... He was my best mate and I left his name and number and won our own little bet......for now!
