Friends

Shall we be friends?
No thanks, I don't need more friends
His face tightened the answer was unexpected
No friends then?
Nope, you can go
He made no move to leave
Is it because I am a debtor?

A hot chocolate, please
She gave her order to the waitress and immersed herself in her boo.
He stood expectantly next to the table as if he hadn't heard the answer
And?
The book was knocked off the table
Am I a good-for-nothing?
What's the reason?

Are you sure you want to hear it?
The long or short version?
She nodded kindly to the waitress who raised a brow
The hot chocolate was served with whipped cream
The book was on the floor and the spine of the book was torn
I don't like you, Pinocchio
She picked up the book and stroked it affectionately

Well?
Plenty of reasons could be given but why answer
Time is precious and shouldn't be wasted
I'm running late, the dogs should be let out
Of she went and disappeared in the crowd
Wait!
He followed the one who refused to answer

Scheduling is one but sticking to it?
A park visit?
It was a good place to be
The dogs rather let themselves out in the wood
Hares, deers
Ferns, hazelnuts,
Mushrooms, plenty of food
There he stood.

She saw it, smiled
An arrow was shot
Flew through the air
Right on target
A heart went wild and so did the dogs

Shall we?
She nodded.
Agreement, heartfelt
Words weren't needed
At times of a food war.

They went home
The cold feet were not noticed
Tea time
Unity without words
That's what friends are for.
