3 Seconds
On a quiet and peaceful night, two persons have started to drink.
After knocking one bottle out, the conversation started.
"Yes, 3 seconds. It took me three seconds. As easy as 1-2-3. I didn't know it was that simple. It actually took me three seconds to forget about her." he boasted.
"What is it exactly? Why did you suddenly want to forget her?" Asked his beer buddy.
"You don't know how it feels. Arrhgh, if only I knew a bit earlier, she really just toyed with me. Do I look like a toy to you? Or what? Am I just a joke?" he continued.
"Maybe it's better if you talk to her. Clear up the atmosphere, ask both stories on each sides." his buddy suggested.
"It's not that. It's not that at all. I mean, why? Why did I even think of dating someone like her? It was too good to be true. Is that why it was so easy to break it too?" he blabbered.
"I mean, look, you are a heavy drinker, but you got drunk before finishing a bottle? You talk ridiculously, you should hear yourself talk. You're too drunk with love that you don't need beer to amuse yourself." his friend explained.
"No need to talk now. Didn't I already tell you? I forgot about her. I forgot about her and it took me a mere three second count. Wasn't that easy?" he said as he slammed his hand on the table.
"You really have a very bad issue. You need to be admitted in a mental hospital. What made you think you forgot about her? You're, at the moment, talking nonsense with her on the tips of your tongue." his buddy asked.
"Hmmm. Have you ever had a girlfriend that is so beautiful, it felt too good to be true? Do you know how easy it is for those girls to leave you? If not, then don't even think of knowing. You see me? I'm a victim. Woah, never did I think I'd see her hanging around with some other guy. I didn't see his face, but oh God, how I want to punch it." he murmured while pointing at the bottle with flames in his eyes.
"When was it? When did you see it?" his buddy asked.
"Just yesterday. I saw her laughing and feeling comfortable with the guy. I didn't have the courage to go near, but I had enough to stay and watch. Who do you think I am? I'm the holy pacifist, Arthur Clement! I'd at least watch her enjoy her cheating, shoot it and show her later." he pouted.
"You're a crook, you know that? Where is it? Let me see the video." his buddy insisted.
"Here!" he proudly handed his phone. "Enjoy the show."
"Aishh, hey! Who the hell are you making fun of? What else would this video show if not few seconds of Riley smiling?" his buddy asked.
"Was it just that short? I'm sure I took a shot of them enjoying each other's company." he uttered, trying to keep both eyes open.
"You really are drunk." his buddy laughed. "Come here, let me show you this."
His buddy pointed the guy in the video, "Can't you tell, you rascal? That's me, you idiot. I got a call from Riley yesterday. We had fun talking to each other, I was really entertained. Ahh you don't know how funny our topic was."
His fist rolled and he grabbed his buddy's collar, "You have a problem, bro? Why would you cheat with your best friend's girlfriend?" he angrily asked.
"Calm, bro, calm. Let me finish. You see. Today's occasion is not you forgetting about your girlfriend. It's about how we got together and..."
"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ARTHUR!" I shouted.
To my beloved yet easily swayed baby Arthur, Happy 24th Birthday, from your one and only prankster, Riley.
Did you enjoy forgetting about me? Did you enjoy imagining me cheating on you? I was entertained by how you said it took you three seconds to forget me. Because funny enough, it took me three seconds to fall in love with you. Didn't you know? I may look beautiful to most men's eyes that you'd feel like I'll leave you any second now, but to my eyes, you're the most handsome. That's why, just like you, I fear someone else might take you away from me any moment. But don't you worry, because I'm not going to give you up that easily.
It took you 3 seconds to forget me? But it lasted 3 hours of you talking about me. That really touches me. You really are very cute. You are very slow witted in love, I love that about you. It makes me want to have you even more. It makes me want to obviously show you my love for you.
So don't get too scared, because just like you, I want to have you all just for me too.
And my gift for you, "Muah!"
