Why is it rhetorical everyone believes life is about them they regarded themselves heliocentric
he didnt
hed admit perhaps everyone was overly broad however when he considered things
he usually sought to view them appeal to them objectively
when he said he didnt
he meant he tried hard
to negate considerations for himself to amelioratedevise the best solution
if ones concern begins with for themselves it is errant
he has a wonderful friend Elsie
four years ago she married she and her husband are now raising a daughter who was born in the past year
he was visiting
he visited them when they lived
together
he didnt see visiting now as anything different
it had been his first opportunity
to see them and their daughter per Trump virus dictates
Jamie her husband had a previous
engagement
he said he expected to return by lunch
Jamie left shortly after he woke
showered and breakfasted with them
Elsie he
incessantly teased her about being named for Bordens cow she had great udders she didhe told her so
anif she hadnt met Jamie when she did he was dallying with the prospect of dating her they had
been friends for a couple of years and he truly didnt want to risk their
friendshiprelationship romantically it was more than apparent she was cool to pairing sexually
she chastised him for
being loose Loose Excuse me all to hell loose an appellation I believe reserved for women Do not
attempt to debase or demoralise a zesty candid sexual affair or try to make it
more significant than it was Don be a
prude but she was an reason why he dragged his feet despite the attractive attributes which drew him to her in the first place
How long she asked have we been friends?
We met Nine January Twothousandthirteen at Ninethirteen AM Certainly you remember perhaps not the time but the date
No . . not the time . definitely the
date. Why do you remember the time?
Because I was gazing at the clock
when I heard the door open an you walked in I saw you before you met me
Advantage Me
Advantage You.
So why didn’t you take your advantage?
Thats water under the bridge Elsie We should leave it at that Notwithstanding I cherish our friendship
Do you know what is said about
relationships that endure seven years?
I do not
If friends for seven years,
friends for life.
I am terribly happy you’re in
my life.
she
began to weep
he embraced her
Me too Me too
not ten minutes later Jamie
walked in and saw Elises upset
What’s wrong, love?
I was talking to Joe about the
likelihood that he and I . . and you . will be friends for the rest of our lives.
his face got pinched wasnt
that reserved for women
Oh I see, you’re
so terribly happy Joe is in your lif . .
. . Jamie he interrupted Maybe the next words out of your mouth will
be Wha am I chopped liver Christ Elsie is your wife the mother of your child possibly first of many
Get over yourself Please
Jamie didnt meet his gaze harrumphed then left the room
You’ll have . .
.
