Another day....another weirdo, Wendy thought as she applied her make up and waited for Emery Grass to take his seat next to her as they were about to be aired. She was glad her producer agreed to do an in-house production especially after what happened at the blind butcher's shop last week when she tried to get an interview about his missing fingers and complaints from customers about finding parts of the human hand in their "beef"....her legs almost gave way from the heaviness of tension in Blind Bernard's voice.
This time, she would be sitting down....
As soon as he walked in, she just knew today was probably going to be even more awkward.Their previous discussion about the topic for today was brief but from the little he let out, she had made a mental note to be prepared for the most shocking statements....
"Ms. Lopez, we go on air in three minutes" the floor manager alerted her
"Thank you, Sunday" her make-up artist stepped back to see her hand work and exhaled with content.
"You are ready, beautiful" she informed Wendy
"Thank you, Amanda" she smiled like she was supposed to when the cameras came on, she turned to Emery and asked if he was ready
"I was born ready, sexy" he nodded
She glared at him in disgust and decided that he would most probably irritate her with his in-genuine answers during the interview. She wanted to back hand him but she'd just fixed her nails this morning.
"...and we're on in four...three...two..."
"Hello and welcome to another episode of iSay... today I have with me on the show the handsome Emery Grass" she tried not to say through gritted teeth.
"You're too kind" Emery laughed
"Mr Grass, it is in public ears that you do not believe in true love...tell us, how accurate is this?"
"it is true" he said with the most annoying confidence she ever perceived from a human
"Do you believe in love?"
"Yes, ma'am I do"
"So why do you not believe in true love?" she retorted
"Simple, I believe only God's love is true- because true love is unconditional"
"that's true but do you not think that couples who have been married for almost a lifetime have true love?" she replied, it was not in her pre-written script but then she did not see his answer coming either
"there's a difference between true tolerance and true love" he smirked as if to say 'even monkeys know that'
"would you like to explain?" she replied, half wishing the boom mic above his head would drop on his face and give him a deformed nose
"well, true tolerance comes with love, for example, if I got married to you, I love you but you have flaws that I don't like and so my love for you is flawed" he said simply, with his arms folded
"basically, you're saying if people were to say their vows, they would say "I promise to tolerate and to hold you" rather than "than I promise to love and to hold you"?"
"Nope. The only true love I can bring myself to believe in is God's love for us, He loves us even with our flaws"
"okay so can you tell us the difference between a soul mate and one's "true love" because according to the primary research carried out by our researchers, people believe there's someone that's made for you and you can either call them your soul mate or your true love"
she sincerely believed that question would amputate his Godzilla sized ego down to the equivalent of an eraser and burn the cockiness he spoke with like acid, she could not wait for his reply as he looked like he was thinking carefully about his next words....
"First of all, the idea of a soul mate, in my opinion exists only with twins ...Secon..."
"I beg your pardon?" she could not believe what she was hearing "you don't believe in matches made in heaven?"
"that is a ridiculous belief" he said simply with a Kanye shrug "I don't think God makes couples in heaven, he did not make Adam and Eve in Heaven or ...did he?"
she didn't know....
"well according to what I have read, He made a man and then came down and took his rib so He could make a woman, plus I don't really think God MAKES people get together- i mean 'freewill' and all especially after Adam said "the woman you gave me made me eat the fruit" like it was God's fault" he paused for any interruptions she might want to make and when she made no opposing gestures or utterances he continued...
" as I was saying, secondly, if people has 'soul mates' how do you explain 2nd marriages- which are perfect, by the way- that are as a result of death of one person"
"well maybe it was not meant to be..."
"how can you say that when they loved each other until death actually did them part? after all is that not the vow to your 'soul mate'?"
"um...yes"
"do you then say you have more than one soul mate or God made a threesome in Heaven when the term in fact states "soulMATE" singular noun
she looked for assistance and even the auto-cue provided none.
"err....well so you're saying you definitely don't believe in true love?"
he chuckled briefly but it sounded like he really wanted to laugh
"I admire couples who are deeply in love, I respect love and you know, it must be a nice feeling however I think people need to understand fully what they think they are feeling before they start throwing words around, I mean, you can fall in love as many times as you can as circumstances will allow and I just think there's no one perfect person"
it looked like she did not have anything else to say so he decided to help her...
"and thank you very much for having me here" he smiled
"it was..interesting having you, Emery" she said....she smiled at the camera and then glanced at him again and noticed what it was that made girls go crazy
"...and we're off air"
"well done" he said in his sweetest smile "but judging from the way you just looked at me, I see that your soul wants to mate with me.." he winked
she snapped out of it immediately and got up and left......
