Yuree
" We are not going to talk about it ." I said looking into the book in my hands and ignoring Terry .
" But he was right . It's the perfect solution ." Terry said shaking my arm and quickly gaining my attention .
" i never said he was wrong but i said it is a horrific idea ." I said vehemently and opened the book in my hands again .
" Horrific how ? " Terry said exasperated " You get what you always wanted AND get those boys off your tail . What is horrific here ? "
I put the book down and scowled at him , " I never said I wanted a FAKE boyfriend just for kicks . " I said intensely and picked up my book again .
Terry spoke again and I got the feeling I was not going to read this book until we finished this conversation .
" Your boyfriend wouldn't be for kicks but to put the other guys off . Don't you miss - "
" Hey ! " a short guy with an enthusiastic smile hopped up to us . He had a red shirt with a stain on it and wore baggy pants . He extended his hand towards me and I saw he didn't have a pinky finger the hand .
" Uh hi " I said shaking his hand , he extended it to Terry but Terry just smiled .
" What are you two fine boys up to ?" he asked us and me and Terry looked at each other then back him , then at each other again before looking at him .
" Just sitting , and reading ." I said lifting up the book I held .
" That sounds boring , who wants to do that in the park ?" he said .
We were under a tree in the park , sitting on the grass . There was a path infront of us that led to the exit but first passed a fountain .
" Um okay . " I said " Can I ask , who are you ? "
" Your future boyfriend ." he answered instantly and I lifted my eye brows .
Was he serious ?
" Umm thanks for the offer but ...I ..." I thought hard for an excuse but came out blank .
" He already has one . So there is no need for you to be so gracious and invite his wrath . " Terry said smiling coldly .
" What ? " the guy said " But the blog said your -"
" single ?" Terry offered " yeah it just needs to be updated . My friend Yuree here is already in a relationship . Go and post that ."
The guy frowned more but reluctantly walked away .
" Why did you do that for ?!" I asked Terry as soon as he was out of ear shot .
" Because , like I was saying before that smug baffun came " Terry said folding his arms ," Don't you miss having you time without having some random idiot come along ?"
I sighed , he was right . I did miss my free me time . The boys had been hectic today , I had been harrassed since I reached school and outside . Which is the reason we were in the park , I was ... hiding .
" I hated it when your right ." I said moaning and Terry smiled triumphantly .
" Good , now all we have to do is call Hort and -"
" No !" I shouted quickly , it was a good thing few people were around or I would have drawn attention to myself .
" Okay , okay " Terry said rolling his eyes ," What's so wrong the guy anyway . He practically came up with the idea yesterday . "
" What's wrong ?" I said looking at him sardonicly " He likes to collect and keep things that I touch . I'm not going to date someone who might put me in a jar while I'm asleep for his collection ! "
" Oh right . That ." Terry said remembering , " Then who do you pick ?"
" Nobody , I don't want to pick one of the crazies and oddballs who have come to me ."
" That's it ! " Terry said snapping his fingers and reaching for his phone .
" Wait what ? What's it ?" I asked confused .
" Your right , you can't date the guys who have approached you so far . They're weirdos I can admit that ." Terry said scrolling through his phone , " So we're going to chose the sane ones who DIDN'T approach you ."
" Wait hold on , your going to what ?" I asked him , I had heard right , correct ?
" Simple , we go on your website and checkout the boys who haven't tried to win you . And if we find a decent guy , we talk to him and ask him to be your boyfriend , so as to get rid of these dumdums ."
" I ...I don't know " I said , it sounded alright in theory but this wasn't how I thought I would get a boyfriend . It wasn't even a little romantic .
" Trust me , you need this ... before some old guy with a beard comes up and asks you to marry him ." Terry chided but I half believed it .
With the type of guys I had been seeing , the old guy wasn't far behind .
" Okay ...but let me check ." I said moving over and looking at the phone . This was my life afterall , I would make the decision .
