Until next lifetime (Blake Gray)

12

Josh: so you and Blake huh? ;)

Maggie: nothing happened Josh, stop assuming, we just slept together HAHAHA

Josh: I heard some kissing

Maggie: not at all

Josh: I believe you if you say so ;)

I walked in the house thinking about what happened last weekend. I'm not sure if Josh's just assuming or he actually saw something. There's no way, we made sure Josh was asleep.

I've been confused on what happened. Blake said it wouldn't happen again, and it was just a one night stand, but things have changed, but not necessarily in a bad way.

We have been texting non stop, seeing each other every day, and he has been so affectionate. Thing he never did before, at least the moment was appropriate for a little affection. Blake has never been this way, he would bother me and treat me like his little sister, but he is now treating me like a best friend.

You know the difference between a friendship when you see someone as your sibling versus when you see someone as your best friend. The difference is, there are no boundaries between best friends and anything can escalate, anything can happen, and it either goes very good or very bad.

"What do you think about so much?" I recognized that voice

"Melina?" I said as I saw my older sister standing in front of me

I ran towards her and jumped in her arms. I was so excited to finally see her after two years. Melina is my one and only best friend, my confident, and I tell her everything.

"What are you doing here?" I squealed

"My wedding, remember?" She smiled

"But you came before time?"

"Yeah, I wanted to dedicate some time to my little sister before stressing out for last minute preparations."

Melina is getting married soon. I kinda lost track of the preparations once I left to England, but now that we're both back, we'll spend the most time we can together, just like when were were kids.

Last time I saw Melina, was when Blake showed up in my life, and maybe that's why I love Blake so much. He made me ignore my sadness towards my sister leaving, and filled up my heart with an amazing friendship.

She started talking about the wedding, telling me every detail, even the surprises she had planned with Enzo, her fiancé.

"By the way, I have a plus one invitation, for you to invite Blake." She said handing me the invitation

"He will definitely love to come." I giggled

"How are things between you two?" She questioned

"He's my best friend, Mel." I answered

"Well, I've seen some instagram stories where you seem more than just friends." She stated

"Melina, they were normal pictures." I rolled my eyes

"I can see a connection there. You spend the whole time together."

I didn't answer

"Can you just confess something happened?" Gosh, how does she know me so well?

"We kissed." I said

"Well, I wasn't expecting that yet, but I knew it!" She pointed at me standing up from her seat

"How did you know?" I asked annoyed at her being right

"I always knew something was going to happen." She shrugged

"But you never told me." I said

"I intended to, until I saw you were meeting this guy Axel and he was dating Chloe.. ew." She said funnily

I chuckled, "Yeah, that happened."

"You like him, don't you?" She asked smirking

"No, Mel, we're just friends."

"Stop being so stubborn, Maggie, I'm your sister, you can tell me anything."

"I mean.." I started but she cut me off

"You do. Stop lying to yourself. You just don't want to admit it because admitting it is making it real for you, and you don't want your friendship to get ruined." She stated

"Why do you know me so well?" I laughed

"I'm your sister, no further explanations."

I kept on giving her details about what happened with Blake in the last few months before I went to study abroad, and now that I'm back.

Melina knew something was up, and she was right, I wasn't going to be the first to admit anything. I'm way too prideful to ever admit something like that. I hate expressing my feelings towards guys, but maybe that's because I've been rejected several times, and I have fear of rejection, and the times it did work out, things went downhill.

I don't want this to happen with Blake. Losing him would be losing myself. He's my best friend, my everything, and I know it would hurt even the smallest, hiding, tiniest part of me.

I know it's in my hands ignoring my feelings for Blake, and if it's on me not ruining the friendship, then so be it.

I don't think Blake likes me, not even a bit, even he said it, we were just drunk and in a reckless mood. The situation just was in favor for it to happen, so it did. But it didn't mean more than just a one night stand. I need my thoughts to get back on track and realize we are just friends, and that's all that we'll ever be.
