“Weird and sad.”
“Weird, sad and pathetic.”
“Weird, sad, pathetic, and disappointing.”
“Suicidal.”
“Emotional rollercoaster.”
“A big and mean game played by God...that’s what life is!”
“Do you want another beer?” Jiro asked offering to open another bottle.
“No thanks. I’ve had two already, and I’m driving home.”
“Yeah, you shouldn’t drink.”
“Yeah.” Ariel sighed.
“Do you want me to drop you home? You could drink more...”
“I don’t think getting drunk is the answer to my problems.” Ariel replied.
“I just, don’t want you to be alone, alright?”
“I know you’re worried. But don’t...I’m not suicidal. Not yet atleast.”
“Ariel, this isn’t funny.”
“I know. Just trying to lighten the atmosphere.”
“I should be doing that...”
“Don’t worry about it. It’s a known fact, you don’t have a funny bone in you’re body.”
“Oh, and that’s why I’m called the golden haired monkey?”
“You got that nick from Hana Kimi.”
“I got the girl’s number too.” Jiro winked.
“I bet you didn’t call her.”
“She’s too fast forward for me.”
“That’s it...find a fault in every girl...you’re hopeless. No wonder people think you’re gay.”
“Dumb people think I’m gay. Beautiful women don’t.”
“How many dates have you gone to in the past year?”
“How many dates have you gone to in the past year?”
“I...I’m in love...was in love...am in...” Ariel shrugged. “You get the point!”
“That doesn’t excuse you.”
“Sure it does.”
“Well, then that’s my reason too.”
“Oh yea? Who are you in love with?”
“There’s this really hot girl, and she’s pretty! I’ll tell you about her when you’re done with this Joe thing.”
“What do you mean, done with it?”
“You know...forget him, move on!”
“Move on?” Ariel repeated his words in a daze. She started feeling an inkling of self confidence.
“Yea.”
“I should move on.”
“Yea...”
“Yea! I should move on!”
“Exactly!”
“Move on to greener pastures!”
“Righto!”
“I should move on.”
“Exactly.”
“But...”
“Oh oh. What’s the big but for?”
“Who?”
“Who what?”
“Who do I move on to?”
“Anyone! You could date around, flirt a little. Shake off that good girl image of yours.”
“You think any guy would actually want me?” Ariel said slowly. She was losing her newly acquired self confidence by the minute.
“Of course!”
“Would you want me?”
“I would like to skip this question...”
“See! No guy wants me!” She sighed. “They’d rather have pretty girls like Tiffany or Selina and Hebe.”
“Then what do you have that big fan club for?”
“It’s all girls. I never did make a single sexiest women list.”
“Would you stop that! I bet any guy would be lucky to have you.”
“Any guy but Joe...and now, you.”
“Well, you never know...if you’re so interested in me, lets test our compatibilities. Give me a kiss.” He winked.
“Oh ha ha! Very funny. Just get lost.”
“No, I’m serious. Kiss me.”
“Jiro, get away from me before I break this beer bottle on your head.”
“Oh yea baby, you’re irresistible.” Jiro joked. Ariel burst out laughing, and gave Jiro a big bear hug.
