"WTF dude???????"
"I can't stress how important it is that we believe this friend. Bloody auto correct LOL"
The messages flew between the two men, and Ben couldn't help but show the error to his wife. "It sounds like one of my books!" she laughed. "Henry the eighth beheading the enemy. Usually a wife."
Ben looked at her with a cunning grin and she threw a cushion at him. "You're an idiot," she laughed as he threw it back at her. He moved closer and kissed her, the pair still laughing at first, before giving in to the passion of the moment.
As his phone beeped twice more in the background, Ben couldn't help but think of his friend. The situation was complicated, and he didn't like complications with friendships. He reached over and silenced his phone, turning his full attention to his wife.
"I won't behead you," he muttered, making her laugh again. "I'll do lots of other things to you, though..."

This is so spot on! We have all had it happen to us, eh?
PMSL - autocorrect, baahahahahaha...
Hehe!! That's fantastic, Megan! Very clever.
You've got to love autocorrect! :)
So clever, Megan! Perfect way to bring a little bit of beheading into the modern age. You have made me smile. This week's W.o.W is so much fun already - and it isn't even Wednesday, yet! Thanks for playing along. xo
MORE! I want MORE!
Don't stop now Megan! LOL Damn mobile phone. Always beeps at the most inopportune times. (And mates! Always texting at the most inopportune times!)
Loved it!

The only thing that's worse is auto text ON the damn phone :) Really enjoyed this!
Loved the opening. And then you got the romance feel into it as well. Great piece Megan.
Perfect! You established so much so quickly. And the tension of the homo-erotic subtext playing out against his marriage. Fabulous!
I enjoyed this very much. A nicely captured moment.
Autocorrect? Brilliant. Loved this. The down side of all of these writing sprints is that I don't get to know what happens next. What were the other texts? What is the problem with his friend? I need to know!
Excellent! Very clever & witty. I loved this piece.
Clever, clever piece. Well done Megan, I liked it. And nice to see a little romance still within a marriage. Nice touch. :)
