Three Smiles Because of One

She smiled. I frowned. What was she smiling about? She should only be smiling at me.

She giggled. I groaned inwardly.

Don’t worry. She loves you. You’re her boyfriend. No one else can take your place.

I was relieved again. It was true. She was mine.

And that made me smile.

Her little smile filled me up with joy. And even though her little giggle evaporated and she turned to talk to others, I still repeated the same thoughts.

She smiled at me. Because of me. I made her smile. I made her laugh. She likes me.

And that made me smile.

She giggled, hiding it behind her hand. I snorted. She is so lucky. She thinks she’s everything, but she’s not.

I looked away, but she was still smiling. I hated it. She was so darn happy, and I was miserable. Where was the justice in the world?

There is none.

Right. I forgot.

Hey, would you look at that.

Well, well. If her boyfriend’s not satisfied, there’ll be hell to pay.

Just the thought of that made me smile.
