In The Blink Of An Eye

Unforgettable

As he is looking through the refrigerator, I start preparing the dishes. Just as I was about to wash my hands, I heard my phone ringing. I run to the living room and see that it's Phil calling me.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's done. I did it. When can we meet to talk?"

"Hold on, give me a second."

"Hey Richy, I'll be right back. You find what we should eat, and I'll be right there to cook it." I ran up the stairs to my bedroom.

"Okay, I'm back, sorry. I had to make sure he didn't hear our conversation."

"I have a lot to tell you. We should meet up to talk. When are you free?"

"Whenever it works for you, I'm available. Just tell me a place and time and I will be there."

"How about Sunday around 4 o'clock? We'll meet at the same place as last time. Does that work?"

"Yes, that sounds perfect. Hey Phil, just tell me one thing. How is he?"

"He is strong, considering everything he is hanging in there. He said that if it wasn't for you, he would have given up a long time ago."

"Omg, I would give anything to be with him. I wish I could trade places with him, I would in a heartbeat."

"He's going to be fine. You just need to take care of yourself right now because if something happens to you. He wouldn't have anybody by his side."

"I don't know how to thank you enough. Without you, none of this would be possible."

"You can thank me when we get him out of there. Until then, you just focus on yourself."

"Phil... I'm so glad to have you in my life. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Hey, I'm here for you. No matter what. Just tell me that you trust me and that you know I would never do anything to hurt you in any way."

"I trust you more than you could ever know. Love you lots, I'll talk to you soon, okay?"

"You got it, love you too. Take care and I'll talk to you."

"Bye Phil."

I hung up the phone and opened the bedroom door and to my surprise I saw Richy standing there.

"Omg Richy, you scared the hell out of me. What are you doing here?"

"I just came up to see if you were done. I'm kind of starving here."

"Hold on, how long have you been up here?"

"Just came up, are you done? Can we cook something now?"

"Let's go!!!"

We go downstairs and start cooking our food. As we are cooking, we talk and joke around. We decided to make cheeseburgers with fries. It's like he read my mind. It's crazy how, alike, we think sometimes, you'd think we were twins or something. I loved all my friends, and I was glad to have them all in my life. But Richy and I had a special connection we always have. He is my best friend, and even though most people would say a man and a woman can't be friends, I would have to disagree. We just got each other! Once we are done preparing our meal, we set up a table in the living room and turn on some music. We begin to eat as we talk and listen to our favorite songs. We were having a wonderful time, I mean, I always did when I was with Richy. We never have a boring moment when we are together. Out of nowhere, he looks at me and says;

"Who was that on the phone earlier?"

"Oh, it was just my mom. She was calling to check up on me and see how I have been. With everything going on, I haven't really had time to talk to them."
