"Girl I gotta see ya tonight, tonight, tonight. Girl I gotta see you tonight, tonight, tonight."

Who in Satan's name is texting me at midnight?

I check my phone to see a text from my boyfriend, Scotty.

From Scotty❤: Hey Baby, Happy three years❤. I'm so thankful for the time I've had with you, and I can't wait to see where life takes us.  I'm so proud to call you mine and to be able to put a smile on your face.  You make me the happiest man on earth. Without you, I don't know who or where I would be right now. You've been my best friend since birth and nothing will ever change that. I know it's late, I just needed you to know how much I truly love you and how very deeply sorry I am for not being able to see you on such a special day. I hope you can forgive me of all my absences because I could not live without you. I know I miss a lot, but I promise I'll make up for it someday. Goodnight my Angel and sweet dreams. I love you.

I couldn't hold back the tears. They were streaming down my face. I have to talk to him pronto. I picked up the phone and called him.

"Hey Megan, did you get my text?" His deep voice sent shivers down my spine.

"Scotty... " I said, my voice shaky.

"Are you crying Baby?  Are you okay? "

"Scotty, that was the sweetest, most amazing thing anyone has ever said to me." I said trying to wipe away the tears.

"It's true Megs. Every single word."

"I know it is.  Scotty, you have no idea how much that means to me. You make me so incredibly happy. I thank the Lord for giving me such an amazing man in my life. I don't know why it took every person on planet earth to make us finally give each other a chance. Scotty, I love you so much."

"I love you too, and I really am sorry. You have no clue how bad I want to be with you right now."

"Scotty, you know that I don't mind. You're  doing your job."

"I still feel bad."

"Don't honey." I said as I yawned.

"Baby, you need to go to bed. You want me to sing you to sleep? I'll sing your favorite."

"That would be nice." I said yawning again and he softly sang The Trouble With Girls.

I woke up with my phone still against my ear. I smiled thinking of the conversation Scotty and I had last night.

Scotty and I,  like he said last night, have been best friends since birth. He lived next door and his window was across from mine.  I don't remember a time where Scotty and I went more than a few hours without talking.

Everyone claimed we were made for each other, but we honestly didn't have any romantic feelings toward each other until 3 years ago when he returned back to school from American Idol and touring. His first day back, something felt different; Our connection felt stronger.

3 days after he started school again, he snuck up and sat on my roof with me like we always did when we were younger. We were stargazing and I felt his hand bump mine.  I looked in his eyes and saw something I never saw in them before. Then we kissed for the first time since we were 8.

Something changed in both of us that night. We could no longer be "just friends". That night,  exactly three years ago, I started dating my best friend.

I walked downstairs and made myself a cappuccino. When I went to grab a spoon, I noticed a huge vase of flowers on the table and the card read my name.
