tug of war

I resisted.
He pulled.
I reminded him of how much I had done.
He reminded me that the original request
was in November.
it was March, now.
I reminded him I'm busy now.
He reminded me that they need the answer now,
and they asked me in November.
I caved, he won.
I gave him the answer today but
I won't accept lunch invitations
from him this week.
