“Why pass the blame to me when you should be the one to be blamed?” Tony was so angry, discovering this fact from his best friend.
“Talk to her since you feel she has some feelings for you”, Tony was so sure that Debbie would accept his offer.
“I would rather not bother her. I think she does not love me. So, the best is just for us to remain the way we are”, it was not easy, but then accepting the fear in him was just the best choice.
Henry is someone who has feelings for Debbie, but to speak to her was a problem. And for someone to speak to her on his behalf, just for his sake, was another bigger concern, as he would not allow that to happen. Anytime Debbie passed by, Henry's head would turn 360°, gazing at Debbie until she was off his sight. At that moment, he wouldn't be focused on what he was doing.
“Henry! Henry!! Hen…ry!!!” Tony had to shout after calling Henry several times. It was just as if Debbie would listen to his heart and accept him.
“Oh….yes….” it took him minutes to answer.
“Why can't you talk to her since you love her that much?” Looking at his eyes, the love was burning, but just to his heart. He was melting deep inside of him, but failed to err his mind to the one he loved.
“I can't. I'm afraid of talking to her”, he replied keenly.
“May I help you talk to her?” Tony felt the pain of his friend.
“I will when the time comes, but you don't need to”, the adamant character is burning in his heart.

A few months of admiration, a guy came to Henry's shop. Debbie was just passing by. The guy was just an ordinary customer who was patronizing Henry. Immediately, Debbie was passing by. Meanwhile, Henry was simply a stylist. The customer was seated as Henry had started cutting his hair. He placed the clipper on his hair before seeing Debbie. Debbie greeted. His mode of answering her was quite unusual to the customer. He began to turn his head 360°, viewing Debbie. When Debbie had finally gone, he drew his head back to his business.
“Ha..... I'm finished”, he was so shocked of what he had done to his customer's hair.
“What should I tell him?” That was the only question that kept ringing in his mind.
“Why did you shout?” His customer has no idea of what happened.
He was searching for whom to put the blame on, but then he had nothing to say, instead blamed himself for being carried away by deceit.
His customer began to shout. The whole surroundings were flooded with people. Debbie, who had caused problems, came in as the two were arguing.
He was asked to put the reason for cutting the hair wrongly. Debbie was among the crowd.
“It was just my mistake”, he said.
“It's a lie. I guess he was observing a girl passing by. I saw it clearly”, another customer who wanted to cut his hair said.
“I was not, it was merely my mistake”.
“Yes, that's the girl he was looking at”, the customer pointed at Debbie. He was too shameful to look at Debbie's face and was pained for receiving such disgrace.
“Why must it be me? Henry has been someone I really like from onset, and he has not for once looked at me wrongly”, Debbie said unknowingly to her of the kind of look Henry has been looking at her for so many months now.
“Yes, you are right, Debbie”, he struggled to utter those words.
“Let's just leave the issue where it is”, the customer said after seeing through the mind of Henry. He knew Henry fell something deep for Debbie that he would or was scared to say out.
He later amended the hair, but not to the taste of the customer.
“Everything would have been settled by now if you had given me the chance to talk to her for you”, Tony was not happy hearing what his friend had done. He blamed him so dearly for causing such a shameful situation to himself.
“Maybe it's time for allowing me to talk to her for you”, Tony spoke out kindly.
“No, don't try it”, he replied with a strict response.
He walked away. The next day, Tony saw Debbie and told her how Henry feels for her. Tony was so shocked of what Debbie uttered out; “I also like his kind of person. I like him”.
Hello, @stone4
What a mistake! Double blame, and a poor customer. All our protagonist had to do was stock up on something valuable, and he would have avoided bearing the blame for customer dissatisfaction. It could have been worse.
Greetings.
Henry was a fool not to confess his love to Debbie. Tony had to tell Debbie how Henry felt about her, and she told him she liked Henry too. Have a very happy day.
Henry's attraction to Debbie got him into a lot of trouble. Fortunately, the client understood what the boy was going through. It was a very embarrassing situation. A very entertaining story.
Thanks for sharing your story with us.
Good Thursday
