Chapter 21 :Priceless Moments

TWO WEEKS LATER.

"You are my most authentic,reliable friend right?" Athena Inquired out of the sudden.

Her bestfriend,Zoey,gave her the,'Ofcourse!' look.

"Your forever partner in crime, yes!" Zoey replied delightfully.

"Then you would be able to tell me why men don't seem to be so fascinated in me or they just haven't yet taken notice of my living presence maybe?Mxm-as if I care!" She scoffed,crossing her arms over her chest.

"Ohhh...friend," Zoey cooed,caressing her bestfriend's hair as they sat on her bed,with Athena's head laid comfortably on her lap.

"Want to tell me what's going?Because if I can recall quite correctly, there is Antonio in the picture yeah?Well,that's if he's still there now, is he?" Zoey asked.

"Don't even mention that one." Athena brushed off annoyingly. Zoey laughed."What did the poor boy do to you?"

"The time we spend together, Lord knows I try by all means to keep up the mood and vibe alive but guess what your 'poor boy', does? He does nothing but frowns as if to say,'if you won't keep me,please yourself.' I tell him some of my amusing stories which I know you love wholeheartedly!"She referred to Zoey.

"Ofcourse!" Zoey exclaimed sarcastically and saluted.

She knew just how those stories were:long and boring.But there was nothing she could do because she was supposed to listen to everything Athena said as her Bestfriend.And so,she endured.

"As I was saying," Athena continued,"when I tell him all about them,he doesn't even show a mere tooth. Can you believe it!"

"Oh my gosh,what's wrong with him?" Zoey pretendedly asked,laughing in the process.

Athena shook her head disappointedly."Can't really figure out what." She then gave out a laugh too.

"But one thing I can quite figure out is the fact that," She continued."If he continues being so boorish serious in his youth, I am afraid he will turn into a philosopher who will weep about everything when he grows old.Honestly, I would rather be married to a skull with crossbones between it's teeth than to marry this miracle of a person!God forgive me for saying almost considering that I even loved the guy." She snorted disgustingly.

"Didn't you?" Zoey asked laughing.

Athena shook her head swiftly."No!Ofcourse not.I mean,I can admit that I liked the guy but love him?Hell no!" She laughed as she imagined it all.

"Then what about the young baron of England I had recommended for you?" Zoey asked between several laughs.

"Worst of them all!" Athena cried out loud, causing the laughter from Zoey to rise.

"Come on," Zoey said,"I'm pretty sure he is not that bad."

"He-hehe." Athena sarcastically laughed, bringing herself up to sit up straight in a crossed-leg position.

But before she could continue, Zoey said,"Let's go get some drinks.It's getting hot and extremely funny in here." She teased, hopping off the bed.

"Quick question,what weird name in the dictionary is weird?"Athena dumbfully asked,trailing behind her bestfriend.

Zoey stopped, thought for a second and uttered,"Weird."

"Good. Then what do we call a person who acts that way again?"

"A weirdo." Zoey answered with a light shrug on her shoulder.

"Nice."Athena complemented,going behind the bar and pouring them drinks as Zoey hopped and sat on top of the bar counter.

"Take the words,'A very bad,' then combine them with the three words we just discussed." Athena instructed.

Muddled, Zoey asked."What?"

Athena rolled her eyes with a sigh."Just do as I say Zoe."

"O-kay.." Zoey hesitatedly said,taking a sip of her wine first."So I must combine all those words to make a sentence?"

"Mmhmm." Athena muted, sipping her drink.

"A very bad weird weirdo-?" Zoey said more like a questioned.

Athena gave out a proud laugh."Correct!That is how that young man of yours is,genuinely." "I mean," She continued,"he is really a fine picture of a man,facial and muscular-wise.But then again, who would enjoy spending their entire lives living,talking and waking up every day to a dumb picture?And how bizarrely he dresses!It's like he buys his jackets in Italy, his baggy trousers in France,his shoes in Germany and his behavior everywhere!"

Zoey bursted out laughing,"Oh...my goshhh..."

"Truly I know that is wrong to mock people, but him?It's like,if a thrush bird can just commence singing,he'd indubitably start dancing and leaping immediately!" Athena continued mocking.

"Poor child!" Zoey uttered between laughs.

The two young girls laughed together, enjoying every single laughing sound they produced. To them,the moment was indubitably and significantly, PRICELESS.
