"Hey man how far?" Ethan said and sat down.
"Not good, I have been waiting here for you for almost an hour. You said you were going to be here by five," Clinton complained, looking at his watch.
"The time now is thirty minutes passed six Ethan, I do not like this at all." He said, twitching his forehead.
Ethan stared at him like he was a nothing, "Why are you making a fuse out of nothing? I do not see any reason why you should be complaining, you do not even have a date."
"So you mean I must be on a date before I can complain about sitting down alone and looking around for an hour like a loner, with no one to keep me company?" Clinton inquired, his face looking like the back of a trolley.
"No, that is not what I meant though," Ethan said to him, holding back his laughter. "I am sorry for wasting your time," he added, even though his apology didn't sound like one. It sounded more like a sarcasm.
"That is what I wanted to hear from you, even though you and I know that the apology wasn't a sincere one. So gist me about what has been going on in your life for the past six months, has that beauty fallen for you already?" Clinton asked in sarcasm.
"I can not really tell for now but I am about to pull of a stunt that would make her love me more than anything or anyone in her life. My poor Agnes would never be able to tell what hit her the day I dump her. She has no idea that she is just an ordinary instrument and a tool that I need in getting my dad's properties, she is the the next girl I plan to break her heart.."
"Common man, do you mean that you are still bent on breaking that girl's heart. What is with all this breaking of hearts bull shit? I have told you times without number, to learn to love and let bygones be bygones. Listen carefully to me, if by chance you foolishly end up breaking the heart of that nice girl, I promise you that I will make her mine, I will mend that broken heart of hers and believe me I won't let you back into her life, no matter what. That girl is so innocent to be treated to unfairly."
"Not as if I care. Since you like her that much, you can do whatever you want to do with her whenever I am through with sing her for my strategic plan. As for me I am only playing my game and very soon it would be all over, once it is all over, you will be the first to get notified of it, then you can do whatever you please with her, you can put her broken heart back together," Ethan spoke all he had in his mind to Clinton. "So you mean you have been waiting for me to arrive before you could order for anything, wow my friend is such a gentleman," he said, looking deeply impressed at his friend.. "Waitress! Come over here." Ethan called out to one of the female waitresses.

When the waitress reached where they were, she focused all her attention on Ethan. It was quite obvious that she had fallen head over heels for Ethan.
"Hello!" Clinton called out, snapping his two fingers to the woman's face.
"So so - so, so sorry sir," the waiter stammered. She was a bit scared that they were going to report her to the manager for her carelessness.
"Yes sir what do you want?" She asked
'Give us the bar menu," Ethan said to her, showing his full teeth to her.
She smiled and handed it to him.
Ethan looked at the menu, "I will prefer a bottle of rum for myself and a bottle of mint julep for my friend over here. Bring whatever might go well with the drinks," he ordered.
"I am sure you must have a nice taste," Ethan said, flirting wisely.
The waitress smiled, revealing her broken teeth, "ok sir, your orders will be brought to your table very soon?"
"You better get going, I am really hungry," Ethan told her, the impatience in his tone and in his words, couldn't be misinterpreted.
Clinton watched how the waiter swung her hips intentionally and forcefully, in order to get Ethan's attention. "Did you see the way, she shamelessly behaved and how she shamelessly threw herself at you," Clinton asked. "This is the type of women that deserves to be heartbroken and not Whitney." He added.
"Well Clint, do you think I am stupid?" Ethan said, tapping on the table.
Clinton was a bit taken aback by his word. "Did I say that?"
"If I were to break this woman's heart, trust me from the look of things, this woman is going to destroy my reputation, she is bound to wreck havoc in my life. Looking at how desperate she displayed herself, she was definitely going to hunt me down, she would only stop when she must have drained every damn thing in my life, she is just so shamelessly desperate ... Ethan paused and smiled, then he continued, " but as for Agnes, looking at her, one could conclude that she was so innocent. Even if I pointed a gun to her head, there was nothing she could do. If I break her heart, I am very certain that she won't react, she will just cry out her pains till someone comes in and feels the void in her life and probably that someone is you," Ethan mocked Clinton by letting out a laugh, after making the sentence.
"You are just so unbelievable man, you can never change your ways, if you weren't my good friend, I would have told Agnes what her fate would be with you. Well all I can say to you is that marriage isn't something to joke with, it is not just a signed contract, it is a vow made by two people. Listen, I strongly believe that once you get married you will find yourself being different. You will eventually start to love her and soon you won't be able to spend a minute without her by your side. You may even become jealous whenever you see her with another man, so I'm warning you right now Ethan, be wise or I might just have a reason to take something Precious away from you, there's still a lot of time for you to change your mind about all this bull shit plan of yours," Clinton said, nearly looking outraged.
"The last thing I need now is your lectures, and why is that waitress taking a lot of time, she was quick in throwing seductive glances at us but so slow in serving our orders, women and their lack of sense, they never know when to be up and doing," Ethan said in a high pitched and annoyed tone.
"Take it easy man, it's not easy to carry out these type of duties, try to be considerate for once," Clinton said to him.
"Put yourself in her shoes, it's not easy. She needs to serve others too," he added. "Speak of the devil, here she comes."
"That is the problem Clint. She does not value us, if only she knew who I was then she would not dare waste my time, like she's doing. Ethan forget all about your fame and wealth, if all of a sudden you became poor, men even I won't recognize you," Clinton said in a cool tone.
Ethan's face changed to a deep frown, "do you mean to insult me?"
Clinton laughed at his question, "you take things way serious man, you don't deserve to be my friend."
Ethan laughed at him, "you are talking this way, soon you will come asking for some money from me, but no worries I will still give you the money anyways."
Clinton let out a dry laugh, "you better stop taunting me, I know you are indirectly insulting me, for Christ's sake, I am twenty five and I can for myself, besides I used my own money to get a place for myself and two nice cars."
