"I feel satisfied hearing all this from you and I hope you are not mad at me for ruining in your plans?" Ethan asked her.
"No, I am not upset. You are the person that should be angry and not me, you always put in effort to make me happy and I on the other hand, always tries to screw it up. I am sorry Ethan," Agnes apologized.
"You do not have to be sorry for anything, to me you are never wrong," Ethan lied in gritted teeth, only Clinton could see the anger in his face.
Clinton was looking at the reactions on Ethan's face and listening to the choice of words he was using to impress Whitney, all the drama made him to almost choke in laughter.
"Okay, I have to go now, see you soon."
"Yeah, till Friday."
"Agnes do not forget to put on a beautiful dress," Ethan added and after which he cut the call.
"For your sake I will dress beautifully," Agnes muttered to herself, clinging her cell phone to her chest and blushing non stop.
She had refused to go out with Ethan because she was tryna play hard to get, I guess.
Clinton laughed out, he had been holding himself from laughing all through but as soon as the call went off, he laughed out his lung.
"Why are you laughing, what's so funny?" Ethan asked him in anger.
"Take a good look at your face." Clinton replied.
"Why, what is wrong with my face?" Ethan asked him.
"You look like a love sick puppy," Clinton continued to laugh but softly this time around.
"Hey man, just accept that you have fallen for that beauty," Clinton added, causing the anger in Ethan to boil the more.
"Stop deceiving yourself Clinton," Ethan shouted.
"You know that was all an act, I don't blame you for thinking I meant those words, I am a professional actor anyways."
"Who are you trying to convince, your self or me?" Clinton continued to anger his friend.
"Lie to yourself all you want, very soon I will prove to you just how much I hate that slut."
"Take it easy bro, she is not a slut."
"I do not care to know."
"Ethan seeing how far you are going with this plan of yours, I do not think anything or anyone is going to make you change your mind," Clinton voiced out, then cleared his throat.
"So what is your point?"
"That I am heartless," Ethan rhetorically answered his own question.
"Not really. If your dad decided to will you all of his inheritance without letting you go through with the condition of getting a wife, will you stop this madness?" Clinton asked him, desperately thinking of a way to help the woman whom his friend was trying to ruin.
"Yes I guess," clearly, guilty could be seen in his eyes.
"Wow Ethan. Your eyes tells me that you have really fallen head over hills for this girl," Clinton snapped.
"I understand that you are still in your wonderland but I am going to do you a favor, by waking you up from your slumber. That girl will be the last person on Earth I will ever want to fall in love with. I hate to see her, for someone who acted so highly of herself, I never knew my money could tame her so easily. She is so cheap," Ethan retorted, in a offensive tone.
"Has she ever allowed you to touch her sexually, even now that you both are in a relationship? Has she ever initiated a kiss to you?"
"No."
"So why are you calling her cheap and a slut. Your money was not what shut her up, it was your love or rather you fake love. Can't you see how she tries her best to make you feel happy?"
"Why do I have this feeling that you are the one that is so madly in love with Whitney.." Ethan paused.. "if you really love her, I don't mind at all, just be patient and soon I will done with her for good," Ethan snarled.
"I do not care about your allegations on me, all you have to know is that I will at her doorstep, waiting to take her in my arms, the day you throw her out of your life."
"Like I said, I do not mind at all. I promise you that I will divorce her immediately the property is transferred into my name. Do not worry," Ethan spoke wryly to him.
"You are such a stubborn, d*ck head. All I can say to you is that in eleven months time, I will be hanging around your neck, forcing you to divorce her and also remember that you will always remain restless, whenever you remember how you ruined the life of an innocent girl," Clinton clearly stated.
"I will keep to my words, that girl means nothing to me. If I could never have felt any positive feelings for my mom, why would I love a wrench like her?"
"Because that wrench is different and deserves to be showered with love," Clinton answered back.
"Listen Ethan, I do not want to sound like an enemy but I am your friend and I can't stand and watch you ruin your life. That girl is your destiny."
"No you listen up Clint, if you weren't my best friend, I would not have wasted any time in digging my fist into your face. So just stay within your limits and respect the fact that we have been friends for ages," Ethan spoke out in a provoked tone.
"Alright I have heard all you said but by next year if you there think of getting her back into your life, when she has already become mine, then you can forget about us being best of friends. I mean every single word of what I just said," Clinton clearly stated to him, then he stood up.
"I think it is time to leave, we would not want things to escalate."
He walked to the door, as he was about to leave, Daniel called out to him.
"Clinton!" Ethan called out his name, "sorry bro, I did not mean to take things too far and I am sorry for talking to you in that manner."
"Are you for real?" Clinton asked, walking back to him.
"I am, we are best friends and we should not be fighting over a girl who we just met last year?" Ethan tried to reason to him. Inwardly his anger for Agnes drastically increased, yet again she was the reason he was arguing with his best friend.
"You are to blame for all of it. If you had not decided to use her as a pawn or if you had not decided to take things too far, we wouldn't be having this conversation. We would be somewhere lavishing our selves with drinks and chilling as usual. I am just glad about one thing, you haven't broken any heart for the past two months now."
Ethan let out a low laugh, "well I will begin my operation break girl's heart when I have successfully taken over my dad's properties."
Clinton laughed out, "you will never change man."
Ethan sneered at him, "why would I change?
They both laughed and drank till the curtain drew.
