I had been in love with my best guy friend for years. But I played it off as I loved him in a brother sort of way. He never had an issue with it. He knew I adored him in a way that was platonic. He always asked me for girl advice and I made sure not to blush or stutter when he asked me for help. We were really tight and so good as friends. Even though I was in love with him, I was more worried about what would happen if we were more. Would our relationship change? What if we broke up? Could we still be around each other?
His friendship meant more to me than a love life.
And so I decided to go on a date with another close guy friend. I was just about to leave the house so I could meet my date at the movie theater when my best guy friend walked up from my driveway. "Shit, you look good," he said dragging a hand through his hair. Nice compliment.
"Um..." I looked at him curiously. "Thanks...I think."
He grabbed my hand. "Don't go on this date."
"Excuse me?" I said in slight outrage. "Why do you--"
"I want to marry you. Okay? I realize we're seventeen and I'm an idiot and you're a genius and you're beautiful and fun and I'm nothing special, but when we're older, I want to marry you. Okay? So don't go on this date. Please. I don't know how you've been so good," he sighed. "I've loved you for months and I can't watch any guy attempt to love you. I'm sorry I'm selfish and obnoxious. But you're mine and I know I'm not being fair because I--"
I smiled at him and wrapped him in a hug and held him tightly. "You're an idiot."
"I know, I told your date that you were in love with me," he mumbled.
I smacked him and he laughed before I chased him around the yard until he agreed to take me to get movie popcorn and candy.
