Butterfly

Introduction

5th grade is where we met. To be exact it was September 3rd when we first exchanged words. He threw an eraser at the crook of my neck and laughed like it was all fun and games. So when he wasn't looking I threw one back. Make that two. That's where the friendship began. Like a butterfly it grew and grew. Justin Brim is his name. Ahh I can remember everything about him, Allow me to explain the journey of Falling in love with my best friend without him knowing a thing. My name is Kiera , pronounced Kee- R- Uh , & this is my story.

Present
It's been a while since I've actually been on a date. Lol scratch that I don't even date. I'm 23 living in New York City, Painting to just pay the bills. I have my own little apartment and a nice little side job. You can say I'm living lovely. Graduated college early and still don't have a man. Some say I'm very mean and level headed , well just about everyone says that especially my girls. They've been trying to drag me out the house for weeks but I've been sprung on this $1500 dollar painting I am about to sell. I've been busting my ass to make sure it comes out just right for this man.

Ug who could this be, I put down my brush and head over to my cell.
•Kiera open up I'm downstairs
Without an invitation Cyn you just can't be doing this
•Oh hush Kiera pooh and open up, I've got coffee
I walk over to the door to buzz her in. Cyn is one of my best friends, happens to be the closet one. We grew up together, met in elementary school. It was always the trio, me her and Justin. I smiled to myself as I reminisced for a bit until Cyn came rambling through the door. Kiera baby you would never guess what I got. And what is that ? Well I got us two tickets to go see Erykah Badu at open mic tomorrow night. Oh how I loved me some badu baby , that's great Cyn, you know I'm so down. How's your painting coming along ? Oh it's great, I think this man is really going to like it. We sit down on the couch pouring our coffee. So Keira you really don't want to come out tonight? Cyn says looking at me with puppy dog eyes. No Cyn, ion do all that, I like to just stay inside and paint. Uggggg Cyn says in frustration getting up , come on Keira that's the problem , you are 23 and single. I roll my eyes , here we go again I whisper to myself as she Continues. 23 and single and bitchy , you literally sit inside and complain about how you want a man , and then I set you up with what has to be about a dozen guys and you literally just pick out flaws about each and every one of them. Uggg Cyn listen I am fine by myself. God has a plan for me. No Kiera god is waiting on you to see the plan. You made that last dude cry for heavens sake. I take another sip of my coffee, cyn he lives with his mom, nobody wants a mammas boy. Cyn crosses her arms together. Well what was wrong with Tommy. Okay cyn hello that name, who wants a man named Tommy. And what about Richard. Cyn, literally Richard had 10 kids. James? Still married, I replied walking to the kitchen. Sam? He had bad OCD , like he kept switching his knife and his fork the whole time. Cyn sighed , what about Corbin, he was perfect. I laughed, yeah a perfect X con. We both laughed. Ahh man Kiera literally I just don't know what to do with you. I smiled , Cyn I'll find someone eventually but right now I'm content with life. At least that's the way I feel.
