Thirsty Life #3: Constantine's fall (Jonas' second time in the club)

After that night, Constantine found himself talking to Maybelline, despite what Edgard had done that night. She seemed very friendly at the time.

"Wow we didn't manage to fuck this up. Maybe we have a chance."

"Every girl you see huh"

"If we don't get this, there gone be a 100% chance I'm going to masturbate everyday. a 70% chance to do it twice in one day. I'm pretty sure you're tired of that life."

"I dont know Ed, you heartbroken or your masturbation after effects. You tell me"

"But what if I don't get heartbroken? I mean come on there's a hot chance she might like us"

""What if " - you already know where this is going"

" Come on -"

"No other women within a 50 mile radius. Can I even stop you at this point?"

"yey trust bruh we gone git"

"fuck off, like she's shy aff so can you not go ham"

"nigga she was up in the club wtf you talking about"

After that kerfuffle Edgard and Constantine took some turns talking to her. It was really enjoyable for the most part - she seemed like almost any best friend Jonas could ask for - except she was really conservative about her sex and love life (she just didnt open up like how Constantine and Edgard had hoped) Despite whatever personality Constantine noted down, Edgard decided that maybe - just maybe - she'd have sex if he told the three year story.

"You know it's gonna work Connie - Chicks dig guys who tried"

"come on Ed that might alienate her even more, like what chick likes listening to some stupid ass ex story"

"come on man think about it this way - she gone pity our assessment and give us some loving"

"come on man you know the pity technique doesn't work - remember Chantelle - Jessie - Estelle -

"Shut up, this one's different"

"that's what you always say"

"Okay can't I tell her as a friend then"

"Sure, as a "friend" like is there even stopping you"

"WEEEEEE"

And with that Edgard sought Maybelline out - hoping to go out with her. Constantine was nervous though. The last time he had met a girl face to face was three years ago, in Malaysia, and it was the most embarrassing thing he had ever done his entire life. It turns out she was open to the idea - the very same day in fact, for a hike on Bukit Padang. However it was at the worst possible time, as he was Josiah at the time, Josiah being himself, kept pestering Jonas about whoever he was texting. Constantine felt obliged to tell him who it was and what was happening, even though Edgard knew he would be the biggest third wheel ever seen. Josiah however was quick to ask her to get another friend to avoid being the third wheel, but to no avail did she have any friends that were free. But it was an obstacle Edgard was willing to go through.

As they arrived at the place and time, Maybelline had already reached the peak. Jonas took some time climbing the mountain, as he was not fit at all, as Josiah had constantly taunted him to hurry up. Before you know it, they had arrived at the peak, and Edgard realized that Maybelline appeared a lot more plummer than he had remembered - He definitely did not feel that fat around her waist.

"Oh come on - was she this big in High school?

"I dont know but lets have an open mind now - she's still kinda hot with big boobs and everything"

"NO I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS but whatever I need to smash"

"*Sigh, to himself*      at least we're open minded....?"

However as soon as we met, Josiah hit it off with her right away - they started talking about school and their lives so far.

"Really? we came all the way here for this?"

"Oh calm down, Josiah never knew her in the first place, let them be friends!"

"Shut up I know you feel like shit too, that she doesn't really care about us and shit."

"Can you just stop being salty without the limelight? For once just plssss. You'll probably have time to talk later"

"Bitch stfu"

Since Josiah and Jonas arrived relatively late in the day, sunset was already on the horizon, and they needed to head down quick. But as they headed down Josiah talked about his own three year story instead. Edgard was totally cockblocked the whole way through.

"What a fucking faggot."

"At least he asked her to grab a friend?"

"Whatever this was a complete waste of time."

"You mean the story of how he became a faggot? Pretty shit tbh."

And so the day ended to Edgard's disappointment, as Constantine constantly reminded him that there was always tomorrow. As Maybelline continued texting, Edgard soon regained his hopes as he kept pestering her to talk about the three year story, and to his surprise, Maybelline made time despite Constantine's warnings to "tone down the desperation or you'll chase her away".

Edgard was truly happy, - it would be his first time he told anyone the complete story about what actually happened, but more so, he was excited that it might bring the pity love that he was seeking. Constantine on the other hand, always wanted an objective view. He wanted to feel bad but also wanted to know if he did was right, because he feels like he should have just left.

Soon enough, Maybelline came around, picking him up, and Edgard let it all out right away. Weird enough to Constantine, she seemed to enjoy the three year story through and through, even laughing at most parts.

"Wow she's actually sitting through all this shit"

"I mean of course, I'm pretty sure shes attracted to us somehow."

"I think its just cause this story had so much drama."

"Bitch I know you feel that connection, I know you know she likey"

"Okay Ed thats enough, I'm not getting caught in this fucking dance of love again. You know you always bring me down whenever I get on this train"

"But this time I can tell it's real, cant you?"

"Come on man. Can we just stick to one girl at a time now? I'm tired of constantly fucking you up fucking up everytime."

"Do you honestly think Chelsea likes us? Do you think we have an actual chance? Besides we're here and she's there. We haven't even scratched the surface of getting with her."

"But - "

"But shut the fuck up lets go you dumb ass negro, We gotta enjoy life for once in our lives"

Eventually Maybelline brought Jonas to climb Bukit Padang again, and this time it was just the two of them. Despite agreeing with Edgard on almost all points, he still held him back for he had doubts about whether she liked him at all. In the end, he managed to get through without Edgard trying to force himself through too much.

"Thanks for not trying dawg, I really appreciate it."

"Whatever man, I'm just going to wait till this Friday. She gone come and fuck with us you see."

Time went on and soon Friday came. Josiah had stuck with Jonas the whole day, and to Edgard's luck, Josiah already had this night all planned out. Constantine was fine with it , for he still did not expect anything from Maybelline at all. They soon went to the club, and it was really small to Ed's surprise. After a drink, they left the club as it was rather quiet for a club, and moved to the bar instead. But by that time the alcohol had taken over, and Constantine drowned into the loneliness he'd been trying to deal with.

"Gut gut..... now ITS TIME FOR LIFE STORY #2"

"FUCK IT LETS GOOOO"

Now at this point Edgard had put on his scottish accent, as Constantine was severely off guard and okay with everything, and with that, he started telling his life story part 2, again in an attempt to get Maybelline's pity.

Sadly about an hour later at midnight, she had to go. Her parents were calling and it turned out to be her last night here.

"WAIT WHAT?!?!?!? YOU SAID YOU WERE LEAVING IN ONE WEEK!!!"

"Yeah, I said I was leaving in one week one week ago. It's exactly been one week"

"COME ON STAY THE NIGHT IS STILL YOUNG - LIKE FUCK YOUR PARENTS OKAY ILL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU"

"Welp I'm sorry okay theyre my parents, I gotta go okay!"

And with that she took off. As she left Constantine had realized -

"Fuck. Here I am again, all alone with this fucking faggot who wouldn't stop talking about how Callie wont stay and date his stupid ass. Ffs. I'm really going to miss her."

"I mean Josiah has connections at least you know, so like it gone be fine dawg"

"Nigga fuck off we going back to the club"

Edgard wasn't going to have any of his embarrassing dancing again. And lucky for him, Josiah had the same opinion too. There was nothing left for Constantine to do, as he was very susceptible to persuasion in his drunk state, despite hes desperation in his depression. But after seeing what he saw in the club, he believed what Josiah was saying - "Do you actually think the chicks here look like they wanna bang?" Drunk, he tailgated Josiah to his house. But on the way back, he had realized - he couldn't wait to text Maybelline.

"oh look who's the thirsty one now? Theres no way we gone smash her now. What you trying for? "

"hur hur stfu"

Constantine was too drunk to care about what Edgard was saying. As he thanked Maybelline for the night, he started regretting not actually asking her out. He had fallen in love.

And he confessed to her. Even though she was unphased, she told him that "next time lah, ask me out."

"you know Ed, maybe we should really start trying. Cause girls like guys who try right?"

"LOLOLOL FUCK THAT SHIT. we've been trying for the past 3 months and no one gives a shit. Can't you see? We suck at being real. We're too fucking weird to even try - like why the fuck you think no one hitting us up on tinder? Nigga just stfu and let me keep looking for thirsty hoes"

"And you think kk has any? Nigga everyone here has a Chasity belt. Do you see anyone grinding it up in the club? "

"nigga don't let Maybelline give you false hope. Even if we did hit her up she was gone dump our after one sorry date. I mean dude just enough with the false hope!"

"Man come on, lemme try at least one more time"

"the only thing you gone try is to get me all broken up again. As much as Id like to smash I can't walk around being all sad and shit so fuck off aight!"

And with that Constantine cried his night away, still holding hope in his heart for someone that'll love him. As much as Edgard wanted to be loved too, he was scared. Beaten up by his last relationship, Edgard only wanted physical validation. "To strive in life" he'd always think to himself.
