THE SPOKE PROMISE

THE SPOKE PROMISE

A Story by Tasi83










It started in a cozy little restaurant in a garden town. In a place where people are usually used to waiting for their beloved's hand in marriage, or where couples in love simply romanticize over a light, candlelit dinner.
On that decisive, tropical July evening, we sat down with a group of friends to have a little chat. Although the real reason could still have been that everyone made a symbolic secret vow when they were in high school, that if they break, if they break, they will definitely let their closest, confidential friends know how and what their adult life turned out to be?
"Children!" Then I think we could even order! - from the group of friends, two elite Olympian men started to take the lead, and they liked it when everyone listened to their words.
Everyone started ordering. The now beautiful moms with two children mostly cast their votes for salads and easy-to-digest foods, while dads and single men asked for hearty sides, fried meats and fries without exception.
"Andriska!" Baby! I don't want to tease you, but what kind of crappy food do you eat?! �" a minor difference of opinion had already developed between one of the hot bombshell mothers of two and the elite athlete, which the other friends tried to smooth over.
- Pay attention, dear Adrienke! Let's not get into such gastronomic questions, because just thinking about your Caesar salad makes me feel nauseous!
"You must be feeling this way because you swallowed too many steroids!" the pretty mother showed the white of her teeth.
"Ladies!" We would be grown-up, sensible people, and also very good friends! What's the point of fighting?! asked one of the more modestly dressed gentlemen, whose words of wisdom were always well listened to, honestly and openly.
"Robi is right!" Kids! Let's eat and drink more than in the good old days.
"I have no problem with that!" the other handsome man gave his waist.
At least two waiters came to their nicely decorated table in alternating order. One would have thought that their starving teeth might ache for the bus tip, because they didn't want to leave the table until one of the Olympic athletes spectacularly began to search in the inner pockets of his expensive jacket and took out, of course, only as an effective enticement, a larger wad of banknotes.
"Thank you very much for the generous service!" - he threw the tip on the table for them, as if it were hunger wages or alms, with which the two smug waiters could already organize a small fight, of course, only under the grass.
Everyone started eating in a discreet way. While the ladies used cutlery in a somewhat snobbish way, the men - with the exception of Róbi - mostly wanted to start eating the tasty, tasty roasts and grilled meats with their hands, and then as soon as they looked at the ladies, they changed their minds almost immediately.
"Hey guys!" Come on! Have you completely lost the rest of your common sense?! - a bombastic blonde asked them, a bit out of herself, who was bothered when others were teased or insulted.
"Hey, baby!" Chill out there! These two little guys would sell their mother for a side hustle! I just made things a little easier for them! Why would this be such an unforgivable problem?! - asked the athlete with a sharp look, to whom every woman's heart would have immediately jumped.
"Because there is humanity in the world, you a*****e!" - the other sexy mom took over from her high school classmate.
"Are you plotting against me or what?" My mind stops! I just wanted some excitement!
"Even then you don't have to be trashy, you idiot!" - answered both women in unison.
"It's okay, girl!" Chill out there! If this comforts you, I can give you a severance package later! - boasted the athlete somewhat arrogantly.
"You see!" It's good to know that a******s often stay a******s! - the bomber woman raised her eyes to the sky.
"Well, stop kidding!" Just tell me! How is the life of the "uppercase" going?
"See honey, now you've caught me!" �" the bombshell mom already reached into her posh bag and conjured up a small pile of perfect quality photos, where three children looked into the camera with beaming smiles while the proud dad tried to force a silly charming grin out of his mouth.
"They are my pride!" - he handed out a large number of pictures and was just so proud of how fantastic a family he managed to get together after high school.
"They are beautiful!" But I hope they're not that bad, are they?! �" her friend looked at her from the corner of her eye, who was already getting excited about the idea of having a child, and now she wasn't the least bit interested in how she would look in a sexy bikini in the hot summer.
- Yes, I feel that I had a fantastic crush on him, because my partner is really someone with the patience of a sheep, who really carries him on the palm of his hand, and the children love him to the point of admiration! He studies together with them and asks questions about the lesson! Do you still remember those deathly boring pen reading classes?
"Is it possible to forget it at all?" �" Robi asked back for a change.
"Yes my little bear!" Aunt Éva was a witch with you, but she was also only human!
"Forgive me, but I've never understood the behavior of those who take pleasure in deliberately humiliating or defaming someone in public!" If you brought it up like that, you wouldn't even have the right to write one in the reader's diary! I got the job done, even if it was with a sloppy spelling! - it seemed to the man that he had hurt me terribly and was taking the events of the past upon himself.
"I'm fine, my dear!" There is nothing wrong! Already gone! �" Adrienne immediately took the man's sweaty hand as a sign of her trust, and Robi was very grateful to her at that moment, just like when they were ninth graders in high school and just getting to know their classmates.
"I recently started a new business!" We also support some charitable activities! I have a small focus group of marketers for this! - the businessman-looking man leaned back in his chair.
"Don't talk!" And where did you get the money for it?!
- Right relationships, some money, and trust are the connections of almost everything nowadays! he addressed his words to everyone.
"Wow!" That's a rough little dude! If I think that when you were a child you always hid in our basement from being bullied by older boys, and you didn't have anything to do with a single math class, then this is surprisingly... considered a bravura achievement! the mother clapped her hands together.
"I'm fine, my girl!" Make fun of it if you like, but I still know what I put on that particular table if you want to know! the successful businessman asked himself.
"Andriska is fine!" No one questions this, but... it's still strange how some people do well, while others don't even thrive in a stinky life! - the hot mom meant it as irony, but it somehow ended up with a razor-sharp conclusion.
"The only reason I don't wear it out is because I'm very close friends!" Make a note of this!
"Wow!" Look at the cool, macho guy! But I was scared! Well, go scuba diving, little friend! I had sex when you were just pushing your matchbox cars in the sandbox!
"Hey, kids!" Please! Don't jump at each other's throats! - Robi tried with little success to quell the tempers that were straining to the point of pimples.
"Robika is absolutely right!" Let's drink and eat and chat! What's so hard about that?! the charming blonde asked back.
- There you go! That's your only good thought tonight! �" the businessman drank the tequila cocktail in one go.
"Really, since we're talking about it, Rob, tell us a little bit about your life, if we ask!" - the seductive mother sent him salty, flirtatious, sexy glances.
"Well… what would you like to hear…?" - he asked back, as usual, humbly and half-heartedly.
"For example, do you have a girlfriend, a family, or something?" What are your plans for the future and such? - Adrienne put the questions in her mouth, who now wanted to pet her old favorite with interest, because she fell in love with him.
"Wow!" Well... I graduated with a degree in humanities and taught a mix of literature and literature for five and a half years... then I was fired, which is now called voluntary dismissal. It's true that I had private students for a year and a half, then I felt that this was no longer the field where I could imagine my life.
"I would have dared to bet, little friend!" - said the Olympian.
"Hey, Gyuri, shut up, otherwise I'll sit on your mouth!" Adrienne choked the man in annoyance, who fell silent as soon as he saw the lady's lightning eyes.
"My dear Robie!" Don't even listen to Gyuri! You're just babbling back and forth, but we're listening to your words! Just talk calmly. the blonde encouraged, and Robi looked at him gratefully again that at least there was someone he could actually count on.
"I had a bride later!" A real angelic lady who came down to earth, but her father categorically declared that he intended his little girl to be a rich, wealthy man, and to get out of her life! Then the breakup happened... - he took a huge, greedy sip of his Coke, because he never liked alcohol.
"Poor little dear!" It must have been very difficult! If that little b***h comes into my hands, you'll see her mention that she left such a golden man!
"Don't overdo it, girl!" It is possible that it was Robika's behavior that drove the girl away! - said the businessman, as if he knew everything better!
"You want to suck us now, don't you, little friend?" Robika is the most fantastic person we could ever meet! I think we should rather give luck to fate to know him! - he stated firmly, but also with swelling pride, while Robi couldn't help blushing.
- Well! You can negotiate with me! But then, please allow me to ask who broke up with whom, or how the little love scene happened?
At this moment, without exception, everyone turned to the blushing Robi and watched his every little movement with a curious curiosity, like if their lives depended on it. And Robi tried to tell everything, although he deliberately left out the embarrassing or secret, confidential details that do not belong to anyone.
"S**t!" This is the story! Dude, you really are a true storyteller! I'm sorry, but I can't believe that a hot bombshell would want to get into bed with you! Sorry mate, but this is it! - said the businessman and the Olympian in agreement.
- Nothing wrong! I was like that for a long time too... - remarked Robi freely. The long-awaited surprise has only just arrived. Unexpectedly, an exotic, model-shaped beauty appeared at their fancy table, with such a heaven-like smile and radiant angelic being that most of the men would have liked to start drooling immediately.
- Hi honey! Forgive me for being so late, but it was a total mad house at work today! You're not very angry, are you? asked the doe-eyed, radiant beauty with a beaming smile, as she placed a light kiss on Robi's cheek, who, as a proper gentleman, immediately stood up to offer his partner a seat.
"Here, tell me to take a seat..." he stood up from his seat and waited for his fantastic girlfriend to sit down with the group of five. Even so, most of the ladies couldn't stop dreaming that maybe Robi hadn't told them the truth in everything, if he had acquired such a bombastic girlfriend.
- oh... how impolite I am! Let me introduce you to Dr. Angéla Vadász, who is a fantastically direct and symptomatic lady, and I hope she won't be angry about it, but neither will my partner! - he blushed a lot again.
"This is my hat!" There you go! That's what I call it! Fantastic! the men congratulated him, holding hands with him. Maybe everyone was a little bit like Robi's life, believing what they heard, or not.
"I've heard so much about you that I wanted to meet you personally!" - answered Angéla, who was both firm and confident at the same time, and knew very well how to make her conversational style relaxed and easy.
"Lucky girl on our part!" We are so happy that Robi has finally found happiness! He deserves it!
His words were accompanied by a storm of applause that shook the sky, and it was visible on all friendly faces that perhaps Robi also deserves the long-awaited happiness, which has always tended to elude him until now.
During the rest of the day, mainly the ladies carried on the further acquaintance thread of the conversation, while the gentlemen could sharpen their curious ears to their liking by hearing one more exciting, juicier story. Róbi couldn't help thanking his girlfriend later for helping him out of trouble, because if he hadn't come, they might even have thought that he didn't have an established private life.
