Tell Me One Hundred Times
Chapter Ten: Willingness
"Vould you kiss me?" Viktor asked.
"I would be willing," I replied.
"Vould you date me?"
"I would be willing." He kissed me and asked me to his girlfriend. As our relationship progressed he would ask me things such as:
"Vould you French kiss me?" or "Vould you go out in public vith me?". I would always respond with:
"I'd be willing." Willingness was the one thing I contributed to our relationship. Sometimes when he talked to me I'd simply tune him out and say my line when there was a pause. The fatal moment was the day he asked me a serious question.
"Vould you break up with me?" I'd been tuning him out as usual and upon hearing the silence assumed it was my turn to speak.
"I'd be willing."
"Vot?" Viktor exclaimed. "Vot did you say?"
"I'd be willing," I replied, confused as to why my usual line was having this effect.
"We are no longer dating," he said and stormed off.
