Friends Forever?

Chapter four

Mary had been waiting outside for a good half hour when Danny showed up. "What took you so long?" she asked.

"Um, Ed wanted me to do something for him. Hey, Mary, you know that thief?"

"The one who stole a lot of money?"

"Yeah him. I want you to keep an eye out for him."

"How I don't know what he looks like or what his name is?"

"Well we gotta name. It's—"A skinny little man who just walked in between them; cut off Danny.

"Hey, Mary, how's it goin?"

"Hey, Robert. If you didn't notice I was talking to that guy that's behind you," she said not trying to be rude.

"Oh I'm sorry, sir. Didn't mean to intrude on your conversation."

"Oh that's okay. My name's Danny McCoy."

"Robert Parkerson," said the man who was shaking Danny's extended hand.

Danny got a surprised look on his face. "Robert Parkerson, huh?"

"Yeah. So what relations do you have with Mary?"

Mary cut in, hoping Danny wouldn't say anything stupid. "Oh, he's my f—"

"—boyfriend," said Danny who was getting in his protective mode.

"Boyfriend? I didn't she had one."

"Well, she does so you can go back to where ever you came from," said Danny in an almost mean voice (an: like he could have one!).

Mary cleared her throat. "Danny can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure."

"What the hell is your problem?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing, then what do you call your little performance over there?"

"A boyfriend pretending he's jealous of a guy his extremely hot girlfriend just met."

"Danny, I'm serious. What's wrong?"

"That guy you just met, Robert Parkerson, he's a thief."

"Um, how?"

"He's the poker chip guy."

"Please tell me your joking."

"I'm not. Please just stay away from him."

"Okay."

"Oh and Mary. Just to let you know he ain't buyin' the whole boyfriend, girlfriend act."

"Oh gee, you think."

"To make it work I have to do one important thing."

"And what's that?" she asked suspiciously.

"This." Danny lent down and gave her a passionate kiss. A few seconds later the kiss ended. "Pick you up at 10!" he called out as walked away.

"Jealous boyfriend?" asked Robert.

"Yup," said Mary as she bit her lip. "What was he thinking?!" whispered the voice in the back of her head.
