Chapter 3 - Part 3

Welcome back lovely people! Thank you for coming back to read part 3. Hope you enjoy.

"Janine! Wake up. Hello??"

"Damn girl-you were sleep for a long time."

"Huh? What? I-I was asleep?"

"Yea what did you think you were, dead?" "Not the best time for dark humor got it."

I'm so confused I really thought that was real. I even have slob on my face. I never slob. Did Lucas in my dream make me slob? This is weird. I can't tell him what the dream was about that caused me to slob. Ugh. This trip was a horrible idea. I'm embarrassed. He can never know what I dreamt about.

"I'm okay, the dream was just really vivid."

"Okay." Lucas leaves the room and comes back with a warm moist tile and dabs my face where the slob has dried.

"You're too good for this world love." I then winked and he rolled his eyes.

"Would you like to know what my dream was about?"

"I do yea, if you don't mind." "Okay, here goes nothing."

"So we were here on this very trip and we were leaving the beach like we did. The same way that is." This is really hard to tell him. He's my best friend. He can take it. "We got in and you just dropped your swim trunks right in front of me and I turned around. You acted like it was nothing and went into the shower. I followed you into the bathroom and sat on the toilet. You didn't hear me enter I don't think. I asked why'd undress in front of me and you thought nothing of it like it was normal. Then I walked out."

"Are you going to say anything?"

"Oh, okay." "You didn't have sex with me so it doesn't matter. You did slob over me tho." He laughs.

Good. This is good he is laughing at the situation. Wait no, this isn't good. This means that he really doesn't like me the way I like him. I'm so stupid for even thinking a guy like him could like me more than a friend.

"Oh." "So we're fine that's great." I clear my throat and leave the room while he's still sitting on my bed. "Just for a breather, be right back."

I can't be with him for this long. My feelings are growing too rapidly. They've been growing over the years but this-this is different I believe.

I pace back and forth trying to figure out how I'm going to deal with this beautiful narcissist without him knowing I love him. Boys never know. This should be an easy task. When have I ever not completed an easy task? Never! So we will not let a boy ruin my reputation. Okay Janine pull yourself together. Everything will be-

"Hey, you okay?"

Fine.

"Yea, I told you just a breather, go back inside."

"But you're pacing something's on your mind. You can tell me you know."

He sits down on the hotel hallway floor. So I sit down and it's quiet. No one is talking. I like the silence. I always have. It's really peaceful and calms me.

"Okay, I'll go first." Lucas says. "When I got a little angry at you and slightly aggressive I wasn't trying to. My parents got me on this anger control pill and I guess I forgot to take it that day."

"Why didn't you tell me your anger has gotten worse and that you were on a pill now?"

"I never try to worry you with my problems, I just always want to be there for you and make sure that you're okay."

"Well you're not my dad I can take care of myself. I've proved that on multiple occasions."

"I know, I just like to be there for you."

We both get up and I kiss his cheek and hug him.

The next day…

I woke up very early because today we are going hiking. Very exciting I know I know. Lucas is in the bathroom getting dressed and I'm in the doorway. He notices me and smiles in the mirror.

Hiking is really fun when you're in shape and used to getting exercise in. This isn't for me. I trip on a rock and Lucas catches then starts laughing really hard. He makes up so many jokes. About how I fell, my face when I fell and how he keeps replaying it inside his head.

"At least watch where you're going Janine."

"Leave it alone, it happened ten minutes ago." We're both laughing, I just love it when he can laugh about the smallest things for minutes.

I grabbed his hand, looked up at him and smiled. He makes me so happy and I don't think he knows.

"You make me really happy you know that right?" I say. "You can put a smile on my face without even trying to."

"That's what best friends are for." He smiles at me then looks away.

What the hell was that? He truly just likes me as a best friend. Doesn't matter he still makes me happy with little effort but still what a harsh way to friend zone a girl-while we're holding hands.

So I decided to let go and walk a little farther from him.
