I didn't always like my best friend's boyfriend. It just sort of happened. I was in my room and my best friend, Tess, asked me to meet her boyfriend.
When I first saw him I didn't think anything of it. I mean he was my best friend's boyfriend.
Which meant he was off limits. So even if I did like him, even just a little it wouldn't have mattered. I mean it wasn't like I expected it to happen. I mean he was hot, if you saw him you probably would have done the same thing.
He had dark blue eyes, he was tall, he had a chiseled chin, a perfect jawline, and long dark hair. To me he was perfect. So perfect I couldn't even resist the temptation a month after meeting him. I just had to have him myself.
And me being the worst friend in the universe, did just that.
So after meeting him days later even 2 years later. 2 years I waited, 2 years and they were still dating.
I finally gave in to the temptation. So one day as we all went to the movies, me as a third wheel of course. Tess, my best friend, went to the restroom. We were still in the lobby and I decided that it was time to make my move.
So I looked at Alex, Tess's boyfriend, and I straight up kissed him. But he didn't react. He just starred at me and smiled. I mean he had a good smile and all but I was hoping for something more.
He said to me "I was wondering when you would make a move." I asked him what that meant and he told me "I knew you liked me and you're a great person." I started to smile but then he said "But I'm dating your best friend and I don't think we should betray her like that."
At this point I stopped smiling and started to feel bad. I knew it was wrong but my head was too high up in the clouds. And everything started to go wrong, well for me anyways.
He told me that I "Should keep this between us." then he said "I don't want to come between you and Tess's friendship."
I mean he's right. Me and Tess have been friends since birth. It would be illegal in the laws of friendship to cheat with her boyfriend. She would never talk to me for the rest of our lives.
So I apologized and then Tess came back from the restroom. I told them I was going home. Tess asked "Why?" and "What happened?" I just said that I wasn't feeling well and that I didn't want to be a third wheel.
Tess said " But your not. I wanted to spend time with the 2 people I love the most."
Alex and I looked at each other and I thought back to what he said. Then I told Tess that I didn't deserve a best friend like her and left.
Before I left I looked back at Tess and could tell that she was cofused. But I ignored it at went home.
When I got home I decided to make popcorn and watch a movie on my laptop. Once the movie was over I heard Tess and Alex come through the door.
So I went to ask what they were doing home so early. Tess said " After the movie we decided to get food and come straight back here." Then Alex said " Tess was to worried about you so we came back here."
I rolled my eyes and said " Tess you're such a worrier. I can take care of myself you know." Tess and I grew up together so she became a little protective of me. Even though we're the same age.
When I was 6 my dad was murdered by someone he owed money to. He was a gambler and lost a lot of money.
I haven't seen my mom since I was 4 so it was just me and my dad. But after he died I moved in with Tess and her family. She had 3 older brothers and 2 sisters, 1 older and 1 younger. So the house was never empty.
Tess's mom always felt like a second mom since she was my mom's best friend. But after my mom disappeared she always kept a close eye on me.
Now me and Tess live in our own apartment. Which is where we are now.
