3-3-10 Promise
“There’s something I want to tell you (number two) but you have to promise you’ll keep it confidential and to yourself.”
“Sure, you know you can trust me. I love you.” (number three)
Okay, where there were two people in on a confidential secret, there are now three.
A telephone call is made from number three in on the secret to number two in on the secret and by chance, secret teller number one answers the phone. Time to think and not be friendly but friendly comes out first and says, “I hope you’re happy with your decision.” OH NO!
“Please, I wasn’t supposed to know, please don’t tell number two that I let you know I know or she’ll never talk to me again.”
“I promise, don’t worry.” (I quote number one here.)
“What am I supposed to do if I can’t confide in the person I love to keep a secret,” a disgruntled number two told an embarassed and blushing number three upon arriving home the next evening.
I could have made an excuse, I could have been angry at number one for letting number two know I, number three, was in on the confidence but all I really did was put my loved one, number two, in a bad place with number one which put me, number three, in a very bad place with number two, whom I love and adore with all my heart.
Bad boy, never do that again please. OK, I promise. (Me talking to me.)
“What’s going on honey, you know you can trust me, I learned my lesson, it will never happen again!”
(Please God.)
