‘’Don’t go getting all dewy eyed and lovey dovey, it’s just pussy. Untouched pussy, but pussy all the same’’
‘’It’s not like that. With her it’s different’’
‘’None of them are different ole boy. Each and every one are just the same’’
‘’She is’’
‘’My my, what happened to Mr. Whips and Chains all of a sudden? It’s sounding more and more like you’re the one with the virgin pussy’’ he smirked.
‘’Watch your mouth Skipp’’
‘’Oh I’m just funning with you ole boy, don’t go getting your big boy panties in a twist’’
‘’I wasn’t. I just want you to have a little respect is all’’ I frowned at him.
‘’Forgive me, I didn’t realize the virgin had such a hold on your balls’’
‘’Hey, what’s your problem man?!’’
‘’I don’t have one. But what I do have are memories. And if mine still serves me correctly then I can’t help but remember a broken man, the one which I pulled from the edge of self-destruction many years ago. A man with such potential and an enriched future ahead of him…one that almost didn’t happen because of the heartache of a woman’’ he then took a step closer to me ‘’don’t forget ole boy it was I who pulled you out of that dark abyss, quite literally taking the knife from your hands in your pained attempt to slit your own wrists over a piece of white trash pussy that didn’t give a shit about you. And to ensure that shit never happened again, I took you under my wing and introduced you to my world. A world with the freedom to fuck without feelings, and still have the time of your life doing it’’
I looked down.
‘’And what happened after that Avery, hm? That’s right ole boy, you ended up fucking loving it. And look, not a single heartbreak since. So forgive my curtness, but I just don’t want to see my best friend getting hurt again, because it almost killed me too seeing the pain and heartache you went through over someone who cared less than nothing about you’’
‘’I guess…I guess I’d long put all that behind me’’ I said looking meekly at him ‘’hey I’m sorry. I know you’ve only got my best interest at heart, and I humbly hung my head that you even needed to remind me of that’’ I said apologetically ‘’whenever I think back to it, which isn’t often anymore, but whenever I do…I know I couldn’t have gotten through that difficult time without you Skipp. I love you man’’ I said pulling him in for a warm hug.
‘’Love you too ole boy’’
We were silent for a moment as old memories of the past did what they always do, in their effort to make one reminisce and reflect, before Skipp pulled back and looked at me…
‘’You really like her huh?’’
‘’I do’’ I smiled.
‘’Then we should celebrate’’ he said all of a sudden.
‘’Sure, why not’’ I said raising my glass in toast ‘’okay uh, here’s to hopeful new relationships and-’’
‘’Oh no way bigger than that Ave’’ his eyes danced in excitement, the mischievous kind I was used to seeing from him over the years whenever he had an idea he was eager about.
‘’What kind of celebration?’’ I asked looking curiously at him…
‘’I’m going to throw a private party for you and your love! Something lavish and fabulous to celebrate you both’’
‘’No Skipp, that’s not neces-‘’
‘’It will have amazing music, the best wine in Seattle, food catered from Andaluca’s, and a select guest list of friends to celebrate my best friend at finding love again’’
‘’That’s a nice offer Skipp, really it is, but I don-‘’
‘’Please Avery, it’s the least I could do to make things up to you, to both of you. And come on, what a wonderful way to say goodbye to all the hurt of the past, and start afresh with your new beau’’ he smiled.
‘’You really mean that don’t you’’
‘’Of course ole boy. Avery you’re my best friend, I’d be nowhere without you’’ he said sincerely ‘’so come on let me do this for you guys, please, it really would mean so much to me’’
‘’Ahh what the hell. Okay go on then, throw your little party’’ I grinned.
