I used to have a tiny little crush on her at some point, back when I started hanging out with Bob’s family. It was nothing special, I just thought she was nice and pretty. And she bought me my first Nintendo Switch, I'll never forget that. She also fed me delicious food every time. "How's it going
She waves at them and then walks away. I lower my fork and just take a deep breath. "Do you trust this Dash guy? You think her staying with him is safe?" Farrow asks immediately, his voice harsh and devoid of the fun of just a minute ago. "Yeah. I mean, I don’t think he’ll kidnap her or hurt her,
"What?" I let out when I can take Farrow’s eyes on me anymore. It's weird as hell to look at his face and see my pretty best friend there. Because for some reason Bobbie looks exactly like her dad, not her mom. And it's creepy and weird because it makes me notice that Farrow's eyelashes are just
“Well, of course I like Bobbie. She’s cute and fun and just amazing… If I could marry her, I would,” I admit, making him frown and move his whole body in confusion again. “And why can’t you? “Because we are friends, fucking pay attention,” I explain slowly so he gets it, “I’d rather be her frien
Two weeks have gone by since the confession/rejection incident. On the surface, things are alright, but… there’s something in the air now. In my air, I guess. I can’t stop touching her, just like before, except now she moves back as if my hands are uncomfortable for her and I don’t like it. And I
The movie ends before I know it and the girls start talking. I tune them out as I always do, surfing on my phone with a hand while the other one is still around Bob. “…but have you fucked him yet? You’re pissing me off,” Maggie says, bringing my attention back to them. I get tense immediately, wa
Honest to god, I try my hardest to stop that train of thought and think about literally anything else, but it’s impossible. And a while later when I finally manage to fall asleep, Bobbie manages to infiltrate there as well. I have a vivid dream about me going downstairs to pick her up and take
The girls wake me up at some unholy hour in the morning to let me know they’re leaving and I try to fall back asleep, but then Henry starts shouting my name and demanding my help in the kitchen. At this point after his rejection, I’m defeated and surrendered. I know I won’t ever stop being his fr
It takes me two seconds to move, but I get up and walk to him. He looks so handsome right now, wearing a crisp white button shirt with black dress pants and his hair styled the way I told him I liked it. And the way he's carrying those roses... yeah, I'd like a picture too. Good luck my mom is being
"Well, you fucked up by giving it to me so early," I laugh, "Even if we're together, I'll hide it for a while. I just don't want people all in our business asking why I let a boy mark me without a ring on my finger like a dirty whore." "Oh, shut up," he says, rolling his eyes and chuckling, "As if
I blink, still unable to believe this is even happening. “That means putting a pause on you being ‘single’,” he continues after a few seconds, “I know I haven’t earned any rights to you, what I’m asking for is the fair chance to get those rights. And if possible, clear instructions from time to ti
I sigh as I look at him, still nervous. "So I ruined your control when I figured out I was in love with you," I say. Henry takes a deep breath and nods, "But we're not kids anymore, Henry. So why did you reject me? I just don't... I don't think you 'liking me' is enough. What I feel for you goes b
I am listening. I mean, I'm still too confused to do anything other than listen. Henry opens his mouth but doesn't get a chance to say anything because my friends are trying to come back inside. "I said fuck off," he repeats, reaching to lock the door, "Go to your stupid party or whatever, then yo
"I noticed… hell, I asked for it," I admit, sighing and going to my closet to grab something. They follow me, demanding to know, "I asked him to pretend the last month didn't happen. I realized I liked my life more before, with the way we were. I just have to... slowly fall in love with another man.
Only ten minutes later, Bobbie comes into the kitchen and she starts helping me. We don't say anything about the bathroom situation. "Mags and Tams are sleeping over tomorrow," she lets me know as I'm driving to uni. I try to hide my annoyance, unsuccessfully, "They despise you too, now more than
Now I know how is like to touch her, to kiss her and fuck her for real, not as a dumb kid. Now my wolf is involved. Now I know what I'm missing and I want it back. ➿➿➿➿ For two days, we go back one month ago before the clusterfuck of feelings. We go to school, we go to work, we hang out with
"You haven't been doing things right, Henry. And I'm disappointed in you. If you love her... show her. Say it. It won't make you less of a man or whatever you think. She needs to hear it and see it, do you get that? It's not enough to just feel it, speak up." Damn. I gulp and nod. "Exactly what
