Забытые друзья
George and Mike are old friends. Today they ran into each other at a coffee shop after a very long time.
"Hey, George, I'm surprised to see you here".
"Mike? Is it really you? How are you?"
"I'm fine. What brings you here?"
"Well, you know…" started George and grabbed a chair next to Mike, "Work. My job requires me to travel a lot." He finished.
"Are you still working at that agency?"
"Yeah, 3 years now, unfortunately"
"Sounds you don't like it. Why don't you leave?"
"I can't. I've got a contract"
"Oh I see"
"So what about you? What's new?" asked George.
"Well, I got married last week" replied Mike with a smile.
"Got married? Are you kidding me?" said George. "Nope" said Mike.
"Why the hell didn't I receive an invitation?" said George half annoyed.
"I wanted to send you an invitation" said Mike defensively, "but I didn't know the address. You change apartments frequently and you don't keep in touch, do you?"
"You're right. It's not your fault. So who's the lucky lady? Whom are you married to? Someone I know?"
"Actually, yes. Remember Lisa from Twelfth grade?"
"No way! Really? I remember once you told me you wanted to date her but marry her? Wow, that's amazing".
"Listen, I should be going now", said Mike, "Do you mind if we continue this conversation outside?"
"Not at all" replied George.
"How much for the coffee?" Mike asked the cashier. "Two dollars" she answered. Mike paid her the money and he and his friend left the coffee shop.
They headed towards the parking lot.
"So which of these cars is yours?" asked George.
"See that Porsche over there?" said Mike.
"You can't fool me. I know whose car it is. It belongs to the owner of the coffee shop" said George.
"It's a nice car, isn't it? Well, it was good to see you again, George".
"Yeah, you too"
George hesitated for a moment and then said "Hey, Mike, do you think you can give me a lift?"
"Sure. Hop in"
