Halloween costume-3

I grabbed his fist and forced him to open it and said, with quite a bit of heat in my voice, “Look, Arn, there’s no need for that!” Pointing at his now open fist. “They’ve learned their lesson, I think. Now, lets all shake hands and stay friends, okay? No hard feelings, you two,” I finished and held out my hand. They looked at one another, then at me and at Arn and, finally, they did shake hands with us! I said, then, “Okay, then. That’s the end of it then!” and turned to walk away but Arn had one more surprise for me!

He put out his hand, stopping me from leaving and then he grabbed my hand again. He looked at me for a second or two and then finally said, “You just saved me from a REAL embarrassment and I owe you one! I would NEVER have heard the end of it if you hadn’t stopped me from what I was trying to do and clued me in on who you really are!” And then, he HUGGED me! Not a boy, girl hug, mind you, but a man to man kind of hug! When he let me go, I was a bit shaken and a little bit unsure of how to react but I finally recovered and we parted company as better friends than we had started the day as.
