Eventual Freedom

‘Freedom gents! Angelford is one step from eternal cunt in ways only he can imagine he would like!’ Koen announces at breakfast. I smile ‘we ought to have a party. All but Leigh are in a position to.’ Emery points out ‘we must! After the consequent successes of our ploys we should have a very vulgar party with breasteses on display and poles everywhere.’ Koen announces ‘we should call it the mannequin party and the dress code will be absolutely nothing on.’ Hilliard adds. I can’t believe she doesn’t love me!!! What didn’t I do?? What didn’t I do to deserve her heart?? Oughtn’t I have snipped it as she did mine??? ‘Angelford’s already imagining it in his head!’ Koen says, my posse laughing as though they knew where my head was in the first place. I spot Emery’s grey gaze on me as though he had an idea ‘fret not I tell you. Soon we will be in a scope full of sexual indiscriminates and they will be even more highly indiscriminate towards you.’ Hilliard assures me. I need to call her!! Maybe she thought over it last night and came to by now!!

‘You should have seen her face when I told her it was over!’ Hilliard chuckles. She’s not picking up my calls! It’s that simple! You know she’s not picking up your calls when you call her about forty times in a day and she doesn’t get back to you! Not even once! It’s like she’s just watching the phone ring and thinking ‘there’s that stupid Herve and his feeble heart that he’s giving me!’ well I ought to retract my statement and give my damn heart to someone who wants it! But how can I accomplish that fete if she snipped it from my chest when I wasn’t looking and is trying to return it when I want it with her??? I grunt ‘Is all well with you Mate? You keep looking at your phone like it has an explosive device.’ Koen notes, flashing his aqua eyes at me in concern ‘I’m expecting something.’ I state stiffly, catching Emery’s gaze once more. Does he know why she is doing this to me???!!! It’s been a day! I’ve given her an entire day to deliberate upon her feelings for me!! She ought to have realized by now that she had affections for me!!!

‘It was beautiful! I never knew saying bad things to a girl would make her want to have sex with you.’ Hilliard is still narrating the explicit details of his break up with Dionne who felt so bad she wanted to have sex with him. I study the Hazel eyed Red head ‘no wonder we’ve not been having excessive action! We’ve been taught to be genteel with the females!’ Koen points out ‘when all they really want is to be called a bitch and spanked!’ Hilliard reveals as though he had discovered the true meaning and source of energy. I ought to go to her apartment and spank her! That’s what I ought to do! ‘Black Jack!’ Emery announces triumphantly as I stare at my phone some more ‘Chap! You’ve got a black Jack too!’ Leigh says to me. Right! I slap the cards on the table and grab my glass of rum, taking it all down in a swig and snapping at Eustace to fill it up again. I need a mug of this.

‘What’s pending in your end of the corner?’ Koen worriedly pries ‘nothing he can talk about.’ Emery reports with a little smile lighting his grey eyes ‘I know what that is.’ Leigh says flashing his green eyes at me as though he was reading into my soul or some such thing ‘and what is it?’ Hilliard mockingly probes ‘isn’t it palpable? He got caught up in the ploy old chum!’ Leigh points out, Koen turning to me as though the intelligence was legend ‘he got caught up and has now grasped the idiocy of his ways but it’s too late to backpedal now, his mother already has the angst. He is left only to the guilt of it all and it is whittling away at his soul.’ Leigh melodramatically explains

 ‘Claptrap! Angelford has been the mastermind of a thousand ploys; he has never gotten caught and never shown any signs of scruples while he was at it! Why he helped all of us lose our virginity if you recall!’ Hilliard reads out my credits. I smile. I’m not guilty; I’m suffering from a Shakespearean fever that stems from unrequited love!!! ‘I ought to retire.’ I state standing up ‘I as well.’ Emery says following me out of the apartment ‘feeling a bit down are we?’ he says

‘What do you know?!’ I crossly demand pinning him to the wall ‘you have fondness for her. It’s all I can tell!’ he grunts in a sharp whisper ‘who have you told?!’ I haughtily inquire ‘Nought but you!’ he swears as I feel something choking me, my strength seeping out ‘and you know nothing of why she chooses to be this way towards me??’ I shakily pry, probing his grey eyes in case he feels somewhat touched by my plight and forsakes her confidence in him ‘Nothing.’ He vows as I release his collar ‘could you attempt to find out for me??’ I request solemnly, my throat soar and my eyes aching as though I had been staring at a light too long ‘I will endeavour to do so.’ he promises me with his hand cupping my shoulder in solidarity. I take in a deep breath and advance towards my apartment. Per chance she is there waiting for me with legs wide open, heart in palm!!
