"WHY NOT? You promised that you'd do ANYTHING for me!" yells Claire.
"Anything but this babe, why would we need to see a fortune teller for? don't you have any faith in our relationship?" I reply.
"No...I mean Evan yes I do!!... it's just that I always dreamed when I was a kid to go to a fortune teller and have them tell us as about my perfect future with the one I love... That's why I want you to go with me!! please!" says Claire.
I hesitate. I have never been one for "mystical fortunes" and quite frankly they creep me out. As a kid I was terrified and scarred because of fortune tellers.
Flashback: "Come on in child, take a seat and let's take a look into the wonderful future of yours" says the fortune teller with a crude grin.
She looked quite old and seemed worn from her job as a standard street knockoff who found it right to scam the locals for their money. But....those eyes seemed to defy her conditions and looked to have held a dark secret and I made the mistake of ignoring the warning signs in her glare.
"Um.....ok" I say eyeing this foreseer as a cat would stare down a dog in fear.
"Put your hands in mine and we'll begin as soon as your ready." said the forseer.
My instincts screamed at me to turn around and get out but the temptation of knowledge took hold of be and before I could think my hands were locked in hers.
-Memory fades-
"hello?... HELLO?!? are you ignoring me Evan?"
"huh? oh sorry I just blanked out for a second." I lie.
"ok... so do you want to do it or not? it would make me really happy if you did." she persists.
"fine babe, if it makes you happy then I guess I'll just have to do it."
"yay!!! I'll see you tonight then. I'll be ready at 8:00pm so come over around that time. I love you. bye!!"
" haha alright. I love you too. bye babe." after I hear the click, I let out a big sign and sit there thinking. why am I so stupid? do I really want to go through all that again? millions of questions form in my head but only one stays. Are you willing to do anything for her? and with that I make up my mind. I have to go.
