"I'll buy you an IPOD if you be my GF for one and 1/2 weeks

Hi,
I'm having my parents come visit me sometime in the next two weeks and have lied and told them I am dating someone I am in love with. You will only have to come to one dinner. In exchange for this I will buy you an IPOD - yes new - we walk into the store together and buy a new IPOD. Let me know if this interests you, and if you want to be in a loving relationship with all the benefits it brings ;-) I want to pretend we are totally in love."

"'No thanks, I don't want to hold it,' I told her. 'I don't even want to look at it, because then I'd have to buy one.'
