The Uninvited Guest

There's a party at our apartment, and an uninvited guest shows up. He's drunk and unpleasant, and he's holding a half-eaten slice of watermelon. He sidles up next to me and places the watermelon rind on his own shoulder. For some reason I reach for it, in an attempt to knock it off, but I accidentally form a fist and hit him in the face. I totally didn't mean to hit him, at first, but once I know that I am about to hit him, I just give it my all. He responds by punching and kicking me, but I don't retaliate. I figure he'll just get more angry and stupid if I egg him on. So I just stand there and wait (his assault does not hurt) and soon he leaves. Success!
