Falling for Him

No one ever knows how love starts. First you find yourself thinking of nothing but his smile, his eyes, the way he talks, and pretty much everything that has to do with him. Then you start do dream that you both end up together and have your happily ever after. Sometimes you wonder if he thinks about you. Finally you ask yourself, why? Why did I fall for him? Why couldn't I fall for a person that would love me back? Why did I, Alexa, fell in love with my best friend, Brian?

It all started when he acted like my big hero and protected me from the stupid boys that broke my heart. He always knew the right things to say when I came to him crying over the asshole that broke my heart. He mostly had done it because I was his best friend and he truly cared about me, but sometimes I'd like to think that he did it because he truly thought I was beautiful and he was in love with me. I don't think that I will ever be able to let him go because I knew from the moment his started to protect me that I was in love with him.

I ran into Brian's arms and sobbed all over his gray muscle shirt. I felt his burly arms tighten around me.

“Hey, what's wrong,” he asked concerned.

I tried to answer but all I managed to get out were groans and more tears. After I sobbed for what seemed like a century I managed to ease my breathe. Still in Brian's arms I pulled away and wiped the tears off my face.

“Alright Alexa, are you ready to talk,”

 I nod and say, “Danny broke up with me.”

He shrugs and says, “I'm so sorry Alexa. What happen?”

“He said that he needed time apart from me because he wasn’t sure whether he loved me or he just liked me as a friend.”

I start to cry again and mumble something about not being worth it and I'm not good enough.

Brian pulls me close to him and hugs me again, “Alexa, I love you and all but how many times have I told you that in order for me to understand what you say you need to stop crying.”

“I'm sorry,” I say, “It's just I don't understand. I thought everything was going great. I mean we have been together for three years, Brian. I'm just confused.”

“He doesn't know what he is missing, Ale,” he whispers.

I roll my eyes, “Oh, shut up. You only say these things because you are my best friend.”

He grins, “Who said anything about you being my best friend,” he jokes.

I frown and yell, “Brian, I am not in the mood for your stupid jokes.”

I turn around and head towards the door. He follows behind me and grabbing my arm he turns me so that I a face him. My eyes meet his and notice love, passion, and care in his eyes. My stomach turns and twists as goosebumps rise and flow through my body.

He brushes my hair away from my face and says, “Alexa, you are the most beautiful girl I know. You're smart and sensible and have the biggest heart a girl can have. Your smile, your laugh, your lips,” he brushes his thumb on my lips ans I gasp, “even your eyes are what make you beautiful,” he brushes the tears off from under my eyes and continues, “no guys is worth make those stunning eyes of yours cry.”

I suddenly notice how perfect he is. He has perfect brown almond shaped eyes that feel like they penetrate through me and into my soul. His lips perfectly shaped and rosy. I felt like taking his face into my hands pulling him towards me until our lips met wrapping each other into a passionate kiss. His dark shaggy hair perfect to run my fingers through.
