a couple, Arol and Dee… sat across the table…
with strangers, lurking around…
it didn’t matter at that time,
and place…

‘  tell me you like her… ‘ Arol

” i told you… i treat her like a sister… my own sister!
there’s nothing going on between us… “

‘ sister?… a sister!?!?… oh come on Dee!
i see the way that you treated her…
that LOOK… the look in your eyes when you guys met!…
there’s more to it!…
stop deluding yourself!!… ”

” there’s nothing going on between us!… ” Dee confirmed.

‘ look me in the eyes and tell me that you are not lying… ‘

Dee slowly made his stare, the cold stare towards Arol…

” there’s NOTHING, going on between us… “

‘ okay… i trust you…
for now…
* silent pause *
since you put it that way… ‘

Dee lifted his coffee cup.

‘ so tell me… if me and her were to be thrown out on the open sea…
and both of us were drowning…
tell me Dee, * pause *
who would you save? ‘

” that’s not a fair question!… ” Dee screamed.

‘ its okay… i’ve already known the answer… ‘
