" Hey bro" Dennis greeted Lucas as he walks into Lucas's apartment.
" Hey how far?" Lucas who was sitting on a chair in his sitting room asked.
" Fine oo" Dennis replied," How have you been?" He asked Lucas.
" I'm fine and you?" Lucas replied and asked.
" I'm fine too" Dennis replied
" What did you say to Chelsea, when you first called her; after you two met for the first time?" Lucas asked all of a sudden, out of the blue. Without waiting for Dennis to even sit down and make himself comfortable.
" Why!?" Denise asked, shocked at the direction of Luca's question, " You didn't even ask me to sit down or even offer me a drink. You just went straight and asked me such a personal question all of a sudden. What gives?" He added
" Just because" Lucas replied, " Okay sit down here" He offered Dennis, tapping on the chair he was sitting on.
" That's private" Dennis told him," You are just giving me a sit and no refreshment?" He asked , deciding to sit on the chair opposite the one Lucas was sitting on.
" Please guy help your guy out" Lucas pleaded, " You can drink later and it is not as if you usually offer me refreshment when I visit you at your place" He said to Dennis.
" I don't need to offer it to you , you usually take it anyway, even if I don't offer it to you" Dennis argued.
" So why can't you do the same?" Lucas asked sarcastically.
" Well , I'm polite and you are not " Dennis said defensively.
" So where did your politeness get you or lead you to?" Lucas asked.
" It got me a lot of things, like the most important thing or person; the love of my life, apart from my family and my friends. Which unfortunately you are included" Dennis told him dramatically.
" Thank you for saying that, I feel so special" Lucas jested, " And See who is saying he is polite, you aren't polite at all" Lucas told him, "Well FYI, it isn't getting you a drink if you don't get it yourself " He said to Dennis.
" Okay, Okay I will go get my own drink, since my host is so impolite " Dennis replied in surrender, as he walks towards Lucas's refrigerator.
" Impolite my foot" Lucas said as he laughs.
" So what can I help with ?" Dennis asked, sitting back down and opening the can of Sprite that he Collected from Lucas's fridge," What kind of help are you hoping to get or should I say what do you need it for?" He added to his previous question.
" For something" Lucas said to Dennis, behaving secretive.
" Spit it out" Dennis insisted, "You know I don't like the way you talk in one word. I am not a mind reader. Go straight to the point or this discussion is over" Dennis said with finality.
" Okay, you got me. I want to call Kevwe and it has been more than two weeks now since I got her number. And to be sincere with you, I have not been able to call her" Lucas confessed.
" Why is that?" Dennis asked, surprised that Lucas of all people couldn't call someone, a woman at that. That means he has really changed and really likes Kevwe.
" I don't know. When I think of what to say , my mind goes blank and when I even dial her number, I get tongue tied and also get cold feet.Then I cut the call immediately. And I think she doesn't call back because she doesn't know the number I called with. I'm also guessing that she didn't copy my number and saved it from the complimentary card I gave her, not that I am sure " He confessed confused.
" Hahaha..." Dennis laughs.
" Why are you laughing?" Lucas asked, " This is serious" He added.
" Well, I never knew or thought a day will come when the mighty Lucas will be tongue tied and the day has finally come or has arrived. But unfortunately for me I didn't prepare for it, because I didn't bring a recorder and I didn't even put on my phone's sound recorder " Dennis complained playfully.
" Idiot" Lucas said hitting Dennis on the head.
" What was that for?" Dennis asked, rubbing his head surprised at Lucas's attack.
" I'm talking about a crucial matter that is important for my better meant and you had the effrontery or temerity to make a joke with it" Lucas accused him, " This might even be important for the better meant of mankind " He said dramatically.
" Which mankind or your kind?" Dennis said sarcastically.
" Oh , shut up!" Lucas exclaimed, " For future little Lucas and more" He said breathing in fastly.
" Oh my God Lucas is serious for ones in his life" Said Dennis laughing.
" Come of it. I'm serious here, give a guy a break. I need your help, give me lines, an ideal or something that will make her believe I'm genuine. Just like you convinced Chelsea, please I'm begging you. Should I kneel down for you?" Lucas asked Dennis.
" I'm sorry for making a joke with something of this magnitude and Importance. It's just that I might never have this opportunity to pull your legs. You always pull my legs, especially when I was trying to woo Chelsea " Dennis apologized and confessed honestly.
" Apology accepted, so please help me" Lucas pleaded again.
" I wouldn't say I am an expert. And not just because I found someone, I will start bragging. I am no expert" Dennis told honestly," But With Chelsea it was not just a line. I have genuine feelings and love for her and that's the only thing that matter" Dennis told Lucas sincerely, " What I mean is that are you genuinely interested in her, because if you are not ; Chelsea doesn't have to kill you, because I will if you hurt my babies best friend" He threatened him.
"Eww... Oh, you guys are babies now?" Lucas asked, making kissy- face" She might be your baby, but I am your best friend for goodness sake and I met you first" Lucas argued.
" Yes, we are. For your information" Dennis replied, not getting the jest in Lucas voice, " She is the love of my life and my future wife. You meeting me first does not matter, because babes before bros. I'm sorry but your life partner comes first" He added.
" What a sell out " Lucas shouted accuses Dennis.
" I am a sell out and I admit it, anything for my baby. But you know I'm also on your side, as long as you remain on the right side " Dennis says to him.
" Okay, babies" Lucas mocked.
" Oh, shut up" Dennis warns on getting the mockery in his statement, " I even thought you called me to play some video game" Dennis.
" I did, but I need some advice too" Lucas pleaded.
" Okay, my advice to you is to be honest with her and with your feelings from the beginning. Tell her how you feel, don't make her feel like or be the bad person when later on you tell her your feelings and she rejects them. Be straight forward from the beginning. Not all girls or boys are there to play with your feeling. Some people are just nice and friendly to everyone. Just because they treat you special does not mean they love you romantically. They just treat everyone special, they are just nice and loves everyone. And when they treat you more special and they finally tell you they love , just take it that they do. Liking someone as a person is different from loving them as someone you want to spend the rest of your life with" He advised Lucas, " Hope you are getting me?" He asked Lucas.
" Yes I do" Lucas agreed," Thank you, I think I will go make that call" Lucas told Dennis.
" Okay, I will start without you" Dennis said, as he puts on the PS5 play station. While Lucas walked into his room to call Kevwe.
