"This thing is insane," Kelsey says holding the camera in her hands, "Are you sure he's not in love with you? Cause I've never met someone who would drop close to two grand on a gift," she says.

"I can't have you feeding into my delusions. But I know it's crazy. I feel like I should be washing his car right now," I tell her as she hands me the camera back.

"I haven't even told you the worst part yet," I sigh sitting down on the couch. She looks at me with an annoyed look and tells me to spill, "he might be under the impression that Chris and I are dating,"'I tell her, immediately getting smacked by a pillow.

"And why would he think that?" She asks holding another pillow up to hit me. I hold my hands up and as soon as I start explaining she starts relentlessly beating me with it. I manage to get up and run from her laughing as she chases me.

"I didn't intend for it to happen but what was I supposed to tell him?" I ask. She stands up straight and gives me a false sense of security as she continues smacking me again.

"I don't know maybe. Hey, Chip. I'm in love with you," she says making me roll my eyes.

"I am not in love...I just could fall in love with him if he liked me back," I specify.

"Babe, you're in love. Rip off the bandaid and confess it to yourself at least. Cause he's the only guy that makes you smile the way you do. He's also the only guy that can spend a week here and you don't rip his head off," she says making me glare at her.

"I am not in love. Love is gross and complicated. Maybe I'm just sexually attracted to him?" I offer up but she doesn't buy it.

"If it was strictly sexual you wouldn't be freaking out like this. He makes you the good kind of nervous," she says as I sit down on the couch slightly out of breath.

"What are you saying then?" I ask as she stands in front of the coffee table, "Should I give him a fat smooch tonight?" I say trying to lighten the mood.

"I think you should tell him before he becomes serious with Cassidy. She's a great girl and I won't let you ruin their relationship when it becomes official," she says as I nod my head.

"I could find a rebound tonight," I say with a hopeful look.

"He deserves to know. How would you feel if you found out Chris was in love with you but he never told you?" She asks.

"I'd be shocked but also a little sad we didn't have the chance to try," I say with my head down like a kid being scolded, "Fine...I'll do it. I'll tell him tonight," I whisper feeling the anxiety rising in my chest.

"You're gonna have to drag me from this apartment. I can't do this," I yell as she tries yanking me from my bed.

"Why would you get dressed if you weren't gonna go?" She, asks with her hands on her hips, "All of our friends are there," she says making me groan.

"Oh would you look at that? I don't like him anymore," I tell her with a weak smile. She rolls her eyes and tells me to get my shoes on the car will be here in five minutes. This shit sucks. I slowly stand up off the bed and fix my hair before putting in my black heels. I haven't put so much effort in my appearance in a while. But I might as well look hot when he turns me down.
