“ I always did kind of like you, you’ re such a nice guy and you’ re handsome, but I don’ t know. I need time.”
Alex did not want to wait, he wanted her now, but he reluctantly replied,
“ Ok.”
As he waited, Alex had to be careful not to harass her with daily texts stating if she had made up her mind already. He would get depressed every time he checked his phone and saw nothing.
One day during lunch he was talking to his best friend Damian on the bleachers.
“ Dude I can’ t take this anymore I want to know already.
“ She hasn’ t said anything?”
“ No, and I don’ t want to pressure her, she might push me away. I really want her dude. Oh, she told me that she always kind of liked me so that gives me a good chance, not a lot of girls have told me that.”
“ Dude, but that’ s not true, you remember my girlfriend’ s best friend, Stacy, she left her boyfriend because of all of that drama, and then told me that she likes you, a lot.
“ Yeah but I didn’ t see myself with her. I just didn’ t like her”
“ You should have just gone with Stacy, she would have loved you like for real.”
“ I know but … I wouldn’ t have. Anyways, I was in love with Bella then, and I still am now.”
“ I don’ t know dude, maybe Stacy could have grown on you.”
“ Is that love?”
