'Because I'm attracted to you.'
'That's what I should have said, to my best friend, my beautiful best friend who is my best friend...did I mention she's my best friend. She's super smart...like genius level smart, and I'm head over heels in love with her, I mean she's not my usual type, maybe that's why it took me so long to admit it to myself. I've only ever been in love once, that was a long time ago. I was in high school, yea I told you it was a long time. It makes sense since I feel like I'm 15 everytime I'm around her. It wasn't instant, the way I fell for her, to be honest, I didn't like her the first time I met her, I was undercover at the time...long story. That was 2 years ago, well 1 year 7 months 17 days but who's counting.
I love her there's no doubt about that. but it's just recently...maybe for like a year, so not really recently...I've been having these dreams, dreams about the future, which always include her. Family dinners, birthdays...babies...Oh man, I've got it bad, She doesn't feel the same way, I know that because I've only ever seen her dating guys. I know what you're gonna say 'That means nothing'
Jane's phone ping's a text.
That's her asking me to dinner tonight. I will always say yes to that invitation, no matter what, even if I'm tired. Yes, I'm in love with my best friend, but I ain't telling her any time soon. Call me chicken I don't care.
"You OK?" asks Korsak
"Sorry?"
"You've been quiet for a while...are you sick?"
"I'm fine."
Jane types out a reply.
'I'm there'
