Rob Gets Even

Well done

JPB,one of the best ones I've read here in LW in awhile. Thanks.

Loved it

Nice to read a good romance story where the man/women gets payback but does it with dignity. Well done!

I like it

He did to her what she did to him, and he did it without screwing over her husband who never did anything to him.

Meh

A guy gets burned in high school but then goes on to meet the love of his life and later become CEO of a company... this guy, the full grown adult, still has his panties in a knot over what some teenage girl did to him?
Not buying it.

pizz poor ending, you need and editor to clean up the spelling errors

2*

Glad to see another JPB story,

Even if it wasn't up to your usual standard.

Just like every one of your other stories, poorly edited and a piss poor ending after a long build up.

Welcome back Bob

Always like your stories, please keep them coming. Just mentioned you to another author the other day as being one of the best BTB authors here (along with Stangstar).

Ending?

You call that an ending? Well I guess maybe you do since it is like so many of your others

WHY WHY

Why another no sex B.T.B. story.Its been done to death here.

This is one of JPB's stories that I liked...

This is one of JPB's stories that I liked... Maybe his payback wish last too long, even if he had been happy with another woman. But we have to accept that his payback was as simple as her youth action had been. He didn't harm anyone, just her self esteem...4*

Great story!

Glad to see a story from you again. Hope you keep writing them.

Makes it look so easy

The narrative wended and wound up, down and around never breaking a sweat. My favorite part was main character lake swimming out to distant life raft, right after wrenching teenage breakup , clambering aboard to relax and look up at the stars. It didn't matter what path the story took after that. Five stars were bagged and tagged for just that moment. Awesome.

Full marks * * * * *

Good but sad story...

Enjoyed it very much. Very sad, I wish they had kids, at least something but a business. Hug those you love, and never forget that tomorrow is promised to no one.

Oh, I forgot...

You need some reviews for typos. Some should have been caught by spell check so don't forget that.

nice twist

i am a huge fan of JPB and his body of work. my only criticism is that there isn't more.


this keeps true to his moral compass (sometimes quirky) though he doesn't have sex with enough women. he normally screws more than one in a story.

Edits

I agree that this is badly in need of editing.

Except that it would have hurt her husband, it might have been a neat twist to send her husband to the hotel room and have her try to explain why she was there!

Great to see that you are writing again, thanks.

Good story, another vintage JPB, moves along at a rapid pace with some witty dialog thrown in. I do think it ended a bit abruptly, as another few paragraphs about what might have transpired in the Spence Norman household that evening could have been interesting. Who knows, maybe Spence put her up to it knowing a few things about their past.

It had all the beats

that I expect in a JPB story (but then again, I don't drink a Coke expecting it to taste like a Fresca).

A bit meandering but what can I say? I like his style and his storytelling technique. Like me, he doesn't waste much time discussing clouds, tediously exhausting wallowing in emotion (though that is a refreshing change from time to time) and ridiculously drawn out sex scenes with every lick of a clitoris painstakingly detailed.

In, out and done.

To paraphrase a quote I heard attributed to Lincoln: A story should be long enough to cover the material, but short enough to be interesting.

5 stars from me

Bit of a fairytale, but it was enjoyable. The high school geek growing up to land a woman out of his league physically and financially aren't really in the realm of realism, but it is still a nice feel good plot. Women have their stories in which the captain of the football team gets tired of dating hot cheerleaders and decides to go with the dumpy, nearsighted nerd because she has a personality. So why not like this story?

My favorite part of this story was the end. To me, this was the best type of revenge. You don't get revenge by stooping to the oppressor's level and turning them into the victim. No, you get revenge by showing them that you are a better person than they are. This type lasts much longer, and teaches a better lesson.

When I was a freshman in college, my roommate and I got into a disagreement over a girl. We both wanted her, and made asses of ourselves to sabotage the other. In the end, she thought both of us were immature assholes. That led to the altercation that had us at odds with each other.

One morning, he didn't hear his alarm clock go off. I knew that he would be late to class (we both had the same class), and that he would miss an important test. I smiled to myself as I quietly walked out. Two weeks later, the exact same thing happened to me. Only this time, he was gracious enough to wake me up.

Do you know what was going through my mind as I looked at him? I was thinking about what a petty, shitty person I was and how I was thankful that he was BETTER THAN ME. To this day, I always remember that.

Great story. Nice to see this author back.

Fantastic JPB Tale

LW has been dry as the Sahara this Winter where good stories are concerned. This one was fantastic. Nice ending!

Nice to have you back !

Its always great to see JPB's name on a new post , it doesn't happen nearly enough anymore , IMHO .
As others have said , I've always appreciated your style of storytelling . Straight forward to a fault , other newer writers would do themselves a favor to emulate it.
My only quibble with this story , no Pauline French ! lol

Need some payback and there's none. -2

The payback perfectly fit the 'crime'. She was a callous, self-centered bitch in high school. He is now a CEO responsible for many people's lives. Keeping the best man for the VP job is a no brainier. Making him torture his wife is petty. Making her realize that she is a whore is perfect. One of your best efforts JPB! Thanks.

Okay story

The problem is his revenge. There wasn't any. What he should've done is simple. He should've had her followed when she left her job early by a private investigator. Then sent the video of her leaving work early and going to a hotel room to her husband. Let her husband know that she was a slut. What would she be able I say to her husband. That she was set up. Maybe he believes her maybe not. It still would've been hell for her.
Also, for those thinking she didn't deserve this. She was a cheater in high school and she is willing to cheat now. Fuck her.

It's Good

To see a return of the most prolific writer on lit return. I enjoyed your typically good JPB story...Is this a second coming?

Delightful Tale

JPB always delivers a well paced story. Just sometimes he decides to enter areas where I am uncomfortable, but this one was perfect. Thanks!

I looked at the screen and said WHAT!

He doesn't write anymore, WooHoo! Great story. Thanks.

Nancy's moral quandry

Looking at this story form Nancy's POV...she did have a bit of a moral quandary on her hands.
Let's assume for the moment that she was NOT just another trailer trash slut.
In her youth (where she was certainly exploring the trailer park side of morality a bit, to say the least), she greatly offended someone whom she should not have been hurting emotionally - just to get her own ends met.
Years pass, she ages and grows in wisdom. She meets and marries her dream guy, and what befalls? Lo and behold, but the same guy whom she wronged those many years ago turns out to be the man in charge of her husband's company. Now her husband, and by direct extension her own, fates - at least in job/income-security/etc. areas - rests in the hands of the man she wronged, and based upon his behavior towards her in public, he holds a grudge.
This causes some degree of stress and strife in her marriage, as both she and her husband read the situation as "this is all her fault". How can she remedy it? She really has few choices: 1) put up with the status quo and cope with the stress (and wherever it may lead them) 2) try to find a proactive means of dealing with the problem. Well, what options does a woman have in a situation like that to be proactive? She can offer herself, sexually, as payment for past sins. That's the first (and probably worst) option. However, she could also do another thing. Apologize. Give her past abuse victim the affirmation from her that he should have received long ago. To try and balance the scales, she should have tried to make the first effort at that apology privately, but to also offer to him to make the apology again as publicly as HE would be comfortable with. To let him determine what, if any penance she should serve.
So, when the moral choice was put to her in this situation, what did she choose? Her choice reveals her true thinking. So, when you call her a slut, now you can understand WHY you're right. You can also see how better communications could have resolved the problem very differently.

What a load of CRAP.

JPB, I've liked your stories. Even the ones I didn't like, I could appreciate your effort, this asshat you wrote comes across like a little bitch. Sweet fuck, HE chased her for two years and then let her actions rule him for the next decade. I've read of rape victims who didn't whine or let their rapist control them the way a high school girl controlled his. Fuck, even the Mormon girl who was kidnapped is better adjusted than this fuck face you've written.

As well, I don't care if he is the boss, who the fuck does he think he is to dance with my wife? Maybe the little bitch would like to dance with me? Maybe we'll do our own two step? Because if that lecherous cock sucker thinks he can seduce my wife, she wold kick him in the crotch so hard, his nuts would be around his ears.


As for inheriting the fortune, I would more easily believe he won the fucking lottery! In any case, absent the inheritance, he didn't earn or work for anything, he was a fucking leech that deserves a serious ass fucking.

I would have preferred it if Rob
told Nancy's husband where his wife was and why.

:-/

Cmon JPB, I miss the old cuck stories that made you the outstanding writer you are. If i wanted a romance/happy ending i would read a harlequin novel. Im still a fan nonetheless....

Great

Glad to read another JPB story.

The death of his wife

I often like the brevity of your stories and I liked this one very much. The downside of that approach was the way your protagonist seemed to react to the death of his wife and her father. I realize you wanted to move the story along quickly but there should have been a paragraph or two describing his grief over the loss of a woman he apparently loved very much. It left the reader with the impression that her death was a minor inconvenience rather than a devastating loss. That being said...I liked it. Good job.

Pathetic, meandering and in need of editing

Enough said. *

Good un

as opposed to one of the critics I am pleased to see non cuck stories
JJ

One of...

... your best, and you have a quite a few good ones.

Sad and funny.

Really loved the end!

*****

Nice touch. 😎

I'm really thinking Just Plain Bob is a group moniker and not just one writer.

The style changes but more importantly the grammar and punctuation changes. It's things such as this.

----------------------

Midway through the party Nancy was again waiting for me when I came out of the bathroom. Before she could say anything I said:

"We have to stop meeting like this Nance. It could cause talk."

----------------------

It would be very odd that the person who wrote so many stories would suddenly forget that there is no sentence/paragraph break between the dialogue and the attributing narrative nor that the parts are separated by a comma not a colon.

This is either a repost of an older story from when JPB was learning how to write or it was written by someone else.

This one was a long time coming , a great story you wrote

At least we got a real good one from the most written writter on this site. Hope to see another sooner than later. Thank you for being you.

a five

from me

5 star

Fine ending for Rob. Go JPB !!

DAMNED IF YOU DONT WORSER" IF YOU DO;;;;;;;;

dilemnas, choices, rules and integrity, TK U MLJ LV NV

Agree with the poster that this is not the old JPB. The style is like an homage more than an original.

Something o look forward to.

For those of you that didn't like this one you are going to hate the next two or three.

I'm happy as hell

that there are going to be more! JPB, thanks for many, many hours of reading entertainment. cageytee

Welcome back

Welcome back.

I like your style

The ending wasn't quite what I was expecting but it worked well for the story.
