Negotiation Tactics
“Nuh-uh, no way, you picked the last time!” Riley exclaimed, regarding her husband as they sat across from each other.
“But your choice is horrible. I do not want to spend the time wasting away on that mindless nonsense.” He retorted, folding his arms across his chest, leaning back against the couch regarding his wife.
“Mindless nonsense!?” She screeched, “You made me watch 5 hours of a docu-series called Cordonia’s Castles! That was mindless.”
“But we’ve already watched that damn series. Pick something else.” He tried hoping that he wasn’t going to have to watch another three hours of the horrid hick accent.
“No. I want to finish it.” Riley held her own, mimicking Liam’s posture, folding her arms across her chest. They glared at one another, a smirk began to play at Liam’s lips, as he watched his wife-never truly being able to be mad at her. Riley, on the other hand, was not backing down.
“Rock paper scissors, winner gets to pick.” he suggested. Riley immediately letting out a snort, her former serious façade melting away. “What, what’s so funny about that?”
“The King of Cordonia just suggested rock paper scissors to solve a negotiation,” she snickered, her laughter doubling.
“Well neither of us, is going to back down, so this makes it fair.” He answered, a small chuckle escaping his mouth as he realized the ridiculousness of their conversation. Just this morning he was talking about military spending, and increased funding for the education department, coming to terms rather quickly with both parties. But deciding on what to watch with his wife, seemed to provide the toughest of his negotiations, mostly due to the woman that was sitting across from him.
“Okay, rock, paper scissors then.” She agreed, stretching out her hand closer to him.
Liam returned the gesture and quickly called out “Rock, Paper, Scissors- Shoot!”- Each scrambling to throw out their hand. Liam’s hand flattened for paper, Riley’s balled up in a rock.
“Wait, no I wasn’t ready! I want a do over!” Riley whined, pouting her bottom lip. Liam didn’t stand a chance at that, knowing he’d quickly concede to his wife. “Fine, once more, but that’s it, the winner- is the winner.”
They both stood, facing another, hands out. This time both calling out, “Rock, Paper, Scissors- Shoot!” Liam again picking his standby, paper, and Riley sticking out two fingers for scissors.
“Aha! I win. I get to pick what we get to watch!” She cheered, shuffling a happy dance. Liam frowned, “No fair, I won the first time. Best two out of three?”
“Nope, no way. I win. Tiger King it is!!” She proclaimed, taking her spot back on the couch, turning the docu-series on. To only be disturbed by her husband as he scooped her up and laid her down on top of him.
“Fine, Tiger King now- your king later.” He growled in her ear. Wrapping his arms around her, as they settled into the craziness of Oklahoma’s backcountry zoo.
