Lucky Blue Smith: How About Two?

28. 'That's That'

"Well firstly how have you been?" Lucky asks seeming more gregarious than usual. 

"Uhm, well, now I'm fine thanks. How are you holding up?"

"Now you're fine? Now that I've called, or?"

"No, now that I've seen a doctor."

"Oh, your usual check-up?"

"No actually. After our last chat, I sank into a gloomy depression and my sister got me an appointment sooner than scheduled. The doctor and I had a good talk. He was so good at what he does."

"Oh, okay. I'm assuming I'm the one who made you depressed?"

"Yeah, in fact. You can be such a b*stard sometimes," Deneo bursts and Lucky chuckles feverishly.

"I'm sorry dear. The things you were saying to me. I was having a lot of trouble accepting them," Lucky responds with a hint of sadness.

"Well, you know what lucky? I'm actually glad things turned out the way they did. I saw the most captivating specimen I've ever laid eyes on because of your, for lack of a better word, 'callousness'.

"Captivating specimen? What on Earth are you talking about?"

"The doctor. He was the most alluring man I've ever seen."

"Oh? You trying to make me jealous?"

"What? No. I'm just telling you how I've been as you asked."

"I doubt he's a virgin."

"I don't care."

"You what? You're gonna get yourself hurt: as a handsome doctor I can tell you he's out of your league."

"You cruel b*stard. I know I can't have him."

"Oh? So then stop talking about him."

"Lucky, are you jealous? 'Cause you're getting kind of worked up."

"What!" Lucky expresses before a hearty chuckle. "I'm married."

"Oh God. Not this again."

"Excuse me? I am married. We said vows before a priest."

"Oh my God, stop. I told you God doesn't acknowledge your marriage based on fornications. If you know what's good for you, you'll break it off as soon as possible."

 "Okay stop. This is why I called. I wanted to tell you I'm staying married. If you can't accept that, we cannot talk anymore."

"Bye."

"What!"

"I can't be friends with a person that acts like a believer, but so flagrantly disregards God's Will. Do you not fear Him, or fear Hell at least?"

"See, I can't talk to you when you get like this."

"Get like what? Fearing the omniscient Almighty? He sees your every deed. How can you even bring yourself to sleep with your so-called wife when you know God is watching and He doesn't approve?"

"I'm so tired of your holier than thou attitude, I must say. You act like you've never once sinned, and that's a facade."

"I have sinned. I still sin. But I'm not in a perpetual state of sin like you. You want to sin continuously and then have God accept it. That's wrong! I sin, I show remorse. I try not to sin again. You don't. I would be remiss if I let you carry on in this sinful condition."

"But it's none of your business what I do with my d*ck," Lucky explodes and Deneo gasps. "You're doing this because I rejected you," he then adds brimming with anger.
