But It's Not My Fault

CHAPTER 2

ETHAN POV

"Happy New Year man." My best friend Ben greeted me shaking my hand and dramatically hugging me like we were seeing each other after a year.

"Same to you too dude." I wished him and we parted with each other, and I sat comfortably in his couch and him beside me. Then, he poured some beer for both of us and offering me he said.

"So, what's your resolution this year."

"Hmm, resolution? well, my resolution is to finally find my true love, I guess." I said seriously. As soon as I finished saying he burst out laughing like a maniac.

Well, there was nothing so funny about it I am serious. "Why are you laughing like I just cracked a joke?" Then he stopped laughing and suddenly once his funny donkey like face turned into a serious donkey face and then he said.

"Wait, so you weren't joking."

I sighed this man. "No, I wasn't joking I am being serious."

"Seriously, every year you make unachievable resolution. Last year you said you will start to wake up early in the morning like by 5am. But you didn't do it for a single day." He chuckled.

"Well, because that is somehow very difficult okay, at least I tried." I said hesitantly 

"Yeah, you tried by going to bed by 5am every time." 

"Ok shut up, but this year's resolution is not so hard." I said confidently.

Huh so confident. What are you, James Bond?

This Conzy gets on my nerves.

But I am you only isn't it. So, what do you wanna say that you get on your own nerves? 

Aargh, ignoring my inner thoughts I looked up to Ben only to see that he stopped sipping his beer and was giving me a bombastic side eye. Then he lightly chuckled and spoke. "Exactly, not so hard because, it's beyond your imagination." 

WHAT????

Goodness, I love your best friend. He always gives voice to my thoughts.

"What do you mean by beyond imagination? I can get any girl I want."

"Nah ah you can't. Firstly, you are not even good looking as me." 

"Oh, you mean looking like a donkey. Then sorry, that is something only you can do without any efforts. Next point."

He narrowed his eyes but continued what he was saying. "Second, you don't even have a job."

"But my father is rich."

"Yeah, your father is not you how much money you got in your account."

Uh, what should I say I mean I worked in a company as an employee, but they shooed me away saying I am very lazy. Well, I know I am, but I can't help. And there my dad he says he won't sign his company to me until and unless I gain some work experience, become more responsible and hardworking.

I mean this is so unfair all my life I had maids, nanny running around me for doing my work but now suddenly I have to do all my chores. 

Suddenly, as I remember you are 27, right? Lazy ass!!

"You know what, just keep your points to yourself." I said getting up from couch and went towards the door. "But where are you going."

"To the bookstore, you know."

"Ah, but you won't get any girl there." With that I just stormed out of his house slamming the door.

Bookstore, yes bookstore I love reading books. Books are just a different emotion that only the reader can understand. They send me to a different dimension of the world or a delusional world. Whatever it is, it's amazing.
