Hiya... let's talk about pretty women.
My whole life, I'm surrounded by beautiful girl. Don't envy me yet. They are either my cousin, my platonic friend or just friend. And most of the time, I made many enemies with testosterone laden teenage boy. I made enemy without saying/doing anything. Because they are just jealous.
My cousin and I studied in the same school. Being cousins and being the new students, we are close to each other. Every recess, we would eat our food together under a romantic pergola. Yup, it's romantic. Imagine a gazebo, pergola with mature bougainvillea vines. It's like a wedding photo set. Except we are not lovey dovey. That's incest! Yuck. I am the nerdy one and she the hot one. We should be in a teen drama like "The hot and the nerd" or like Popular. (I kinda like the idea of becoming nerdy Christopher Gorham just kidding) or maybe our own series "Abe and Abby"
And there's a boy named Eli* who had a crush with my cousin Abigail*. We cousins are crazy bunch of people. We would just hit each other's ass just to say hi. So we always hit each other's asses or I'll just snap her bra strap. So, this shy Eli, asked Abigail out. And asked why she talk to a jerk like me. Abigail just ignore him. However due to his persistence Abigail agreed to be his friend or girlfriend?
Eli happens to be my nemesis cousin. So, one day he started a conversation with "I have cousins here. Would you like to meet them?". My cousin is aware of the feud between Eli cousin's Sherry* and me. So Abigail replied "Yup, I know you cousin. My cousin hates her!". Confused, Eli asked Abigail who's her cousin. Finally, Abigail told Eli that I am actually her cousin, not just a random jerk who simply snaps somebody's bra elastics.
Eventually, Eli started to be kind to me. Yup Eli is actually one of the hottest guy back then. What can you say... skateboarders. (And back then Avril's Sk8er boi is on the top of the list, billboard list I think)
Another incident happen during my college registration. My mother's colleague has a daughter. And she had to come to the college alone. Since we were on the same flight (actually not coincidentally), we decided to register together. She a sweet girl next door. A lot of boys in her former school had crush on her. And those boys were also in the same registration hall with us. A jock, her former schoolmate approached me and asked what is my relationship with her. We had to say that we're cousins or I am going to lose my teeth. There are so many fish in the ocean some said. And eventually, that boy is with another girl. And Jossie and I are friends like always.
Having a beautiful friend can lead to crazy night. My friend Marge* is in town for an interview. So Simone and I acted like her 'groupie'. We escorted her to the interview and at night we had our dinner together. We had our dinner in a music lounge. One of the boy from the band is interested with Marge. So they (the boy and his band) brought us to a club. It's a crazy night. I can say.
It's not always my friend or cousin who gets people attention. I got some too. That was when my buddy Gwen* bring me out to a club. Actually, I'm the designated driver. It's not really my scene but I have to do her some favour because I owed one. Since I'm just the designated driver I just wear utility pants/cargo and t-shirt. As we arrived at the club, all eyes were on me; that's what Gwen told me. I am oblivious to people's stare/flirt. Then we found out it is a gay bar. No, I don't feel hot. But it's nice to be the centre of attraction sometimes.
Having a beautiful platonic friend from the opposite sex has it's pros and cons. But what matter most is your friendship.
* not their real name.
p/s I'm always oblivious. The funniest is with Simone's 'dumbwaiter'
