emotions

"why are you so excited about this, is it because I'm your only female friend oh let's not forget best female friend"

he stopped smiling and asked

"what are you talking about?"

"I know you love me because I'm your only female friend that you share if not all some of your secrets with. you know even I love you so much 'as a friend!' let's not confuse it, ever since I met you I found a piece of me I never thought I'd find and even I am grateful for that. so now uhm about that love of your life can I meet her some other time? I need to enjoy the party after all it's the last one. so let's go"

*did you really not get it?*

*of course I did but I didn't have a response for him and I already have someone*

*why don't you tell him?*

*I don't want to hurt him and I don't want to lose this friendship of ours. call me selfish but I can't lose him*

*then accept him?*

*what about the other guy? although I don't love him yet, I agreed to give him an opportunity it will be unfair to him and besides I could say that my friend wasted a lot of time to tell me this. he cared about me? yes I know he got to know my broken self, so the best thing now was to pretend not to get it*

just when I thought I had avoided it, he held my hand and said

"no I think you should meet her now"

he led me towards a mirror and said

"Eve meet the woman I love like crazy"

I saw my reflection in the mirror and it seemed my efforts to avoid this was all in vain.

"Eve, I'm not forcing you to accept my feelings but I just wanted you to know, I want you to know there's some one who loves you unconditionally and that's me. if you are not ready I can wait" he said

"it's not about waiting" I said

"then what is it? if you are not ready I understand I really do, I will wait until you are ready'

"hey let's go back to being friends ok, let's forget about today''

"we can't brush today's off neither can you my feelings for you. Eve as far as I know you don't have anyone yet, let's give us a try and I know I can make you love me"
