Valentine Blues - Season 1 - Episode 48

*
”There you are, being looking all over for you, Tonia is worried sick, she blames herself” Tom slides into the chair beside him, Darren stares into the empty bottle of beer, he orders for another one.
”She shouldn’t, it would pass, i would be fine” He takes the beer, nods to the bartender, uncorks it and takes it to is lips.
”You cannot just give up on her like that” he looks at the empty bottles on the table ”How many bottles have you had?”
”Fourth now” Darren closes his eyes and then opens it ”Well, i cannot hide in another person’s shadow so its fine. She loves him still, it’s fine. i can’t hate her for loving her ex..” he adds.
”But you are now in the picture”
”No, if she saw me as being in the picture, the kiss wouldn’t have happened the way it did. I mean you see me practically running away from Natalia and Bella, if she respected me or cared about me, she would have atleast tried to avoid it or ensured he knew what he did was wrong. And then see how angry she got when Natalia lied we had something when she came to my house and she didn’t even give me a chance to clarify myself, then she ignores me all through and then she does this…look, the kiss happened, it hurts yes but..she didn’t try to stop it Tom, which means she wanted it atleast or yearned for it. That hurts, to have your girl fan over someone, ex or not. It hurts.”
”Maybe she did, you weren’t there!”
”Maybe, like i said, my anger isn’t just that they kissed, but she lying about her feelings and trying to downplay it. Which means i would be putting my heart and mind and my all into this but she would be give me 5 percent maybe while i give her a 100, hook line and sinker. That would be unfair. Look, i have been in a very bad place Tom, you know, Natalia was the last straw because i didn’t see hers from a mile away, and i promised myself i wouldn’t allow my heart to be broken like that again. And now with Annalisa, atleast now i know where her feelings are, so i rather pull out now before i go in too deep and then be broken again, i really can’t let it happen , not again, i am done so. Whatever!!”

”You do not want to give her the benefit of the doubt then?” Tom shakes his head drinking ”She may be sorry ”
”She may be”
”So talk to her”
Darren sighs ”I don’t want to get hurt Tom, really do not”
”You like her don’t you?”
”Alot” Darren admits, he is frowning ”But then again, she may not feel thesame way towards me, with the Ex, the kiss, how do i want to compete with that huh?”
”You do not have to compete wit anything man, do you , be you as you have always been. Look, see this as a one of those obstacles on the way, couples do have that every once in a while, this may very well be your test. Trust me, couples got problems, i and Tonia do too.”
”Yeah, whatever problems is there isn’t about you finding her locking lips with an ex”
”You didn’t find her though”
Darren looks at him ”that’s not even remotely funny Tom, so please”
”Sorry, stupid joke, stupid me!” He nudges Darren slightly ”Look, get angry, it’s okay, think over it, it’s okay, but when you are done mulling over the issue, what does your heart wants?”
”Honestly, her”

”Then that is all that matters, you forgive, your forget, you build your relationship and let this go like a bad dream, years to come you can dish it out like a joke and it won’t even hurt, you dig?”
Darren takes the bottle to his lips ”Yeah i dig”
”So am i the best advice giver or not?” He nudges Darren again who laughs now
”Fxxk you”
”Fxxk you too, now there is a smile, go get your girl man, that dude ain’t s--t..he is her ex, her past..baby you need to own the present and the future..that’s how you mark your territory”
Darren laughs
”Now, there is the dude, laughing while having drinks with the buddy, i guess you really don’t care about her, one minute you are pretending to be hurt and the next you are joking about it with your bud, good thing i am around now, i would show Anna what a real man is, not some kid who don’t know how to keep his girl” Daniel says leaning towards the bar, ”Let me have what they are having, give them an extra two bottles, on my tab please” he nods to the bartender who hands him a bottle of beer, he uncorks it and takes a long drag, they ignore him.
”Don’t even pay attention to him Darren, he is trying to get on your nerves”
”His nerves you say? No man, i am only pricking his conscious, let me ask though ”He belches loudly ”You fxxked her yet, sex was good right? i mean i would understand why letting her go was somewhat hard because she is a goddess in the sack, whoaf!!” he exclaims biting his lips and shaking his head.
Darren turns away and then finishes his drink,
”Yeah, lets go man, he is becoming an annoying pest ” Tom takes his bottle, they are leaving
”Let me tell you what i am going to do …Annalisa had always been gullible, listening to every fool who told her he loved her, believing him. I was cheating on her for three years and every time i lied she believed me. I married my wife because well, she was dope rich and i would take that over some chick who is crying blue tears i broke her heart, did it matter to me? hell nah. it did not. I must admit seeing her her today had me shook, like d--n girl you fine, glowing and radiant and to tell you the truth, man to man..i just want to fxxk her brains out during this weekend and once the boat trip ends, i am out with the five, who is presently beefing me but hey, a good dxxk in a day or two would have her all over me again, then we go back on the plane and going to her father’s ranch where he is going to make me some CEO of one of his affiliates company. Man i am made, so, this is just me and you,you know, guys talk”
Darren pauses, Tom is standing infront of him ”Walk away Darren, you know what he is trying to do, get you angry and jealous, he isn’t worth it truth me”

”Yeah, you should listen to your friend, he may look stupid with that wife of his but he ain’t entirely stupid, but she looks like a half-cast babboon only with boobs and lopsided hips” He roars in laughter
Tom turns waking to him, Darren stops him ”He isn’t worth it Tom”
Daniel stands up ”What, what!!!” he says towards them, making a hand gesture
”You lucky i am a changed man Daniel, your face would have been kissing the floor if i was the same dude three years ago so be careful what you say” Tom points at him, Darren pulls him away,
”Not worth it bro” They both turn away again, Daniel raises his voice.
”Hey Darren, You want to know what is going to happen tonight, i would fxxk her so hard that when i call your name, she would be glad she got rid of you… and because she is so stupid and gullible believing i love her, she would give me her all and by the morning of the day we are leaving, i would buy her a small ring, off the counter like before, propose to her and then leave her again….maybe then you can have that b---h back”
”I have had enough” was the last thing Darren says before taking a full turn, meets him in three slides and punches him hard across the face.

Daniel drops to the floor, his mouth was already bleeding, the Bartender and others comes to them. Darren pulls him halfway by his caller and speaks into his face ”One more insulting word about Anna and i swear to God would be your last because i would make you eat your words”
”Darren, let him go” Tom pushes his away from Daniel.
”No fighting in the bar, i would have to ask you guys to leave this room, thank you” A man dressed in suit comes to them, a few others follow . Daniel tries to struggle, Darren shakes him ”Understand?”
Tom restrains Darren ”Let him, lets bounce dude, come one” and then pulls him away, someone helps Darren up
”Dxxk!! He punched me!” he exclaims as someone hands him a towel with ice ”Fxxk!! A-----e!!” he mutters ”I would sue him”
”When you started it” someone screamed from the other side of the bar ”Dude get yourself off and bounce, we know men like you. Maggot! that’s what you are” A lady says who had been listening to him.
Daniel gathers himself and then staggers out of the bar room.
