"I'm in love with a guy."

Yep. These are the exact words that are repeatedly running in my mind. Guess who said this. Rex!! I can't believe it even now.

Rex has been my best friend since childhood. He has been with me like forever. But I've had no idea about this. Am I dumb or is he an expert in hiding? I don't know why I feel uncomfortable about it. I'm not homophobic. Tbh, I've never thought much about homosexuals.

But Rex is gay!? It's like asking me to believe that seahorses have no stomachs. They don't. But you get my point. It's unbelievable. Almost wrong. I'm not the kind of person who thinks all gay people want to get into my pants but It'll be fine if it's anybody else. It's weird that it's Rexie. He was the college hotshot. He was a playboy. He always had a couple of girls around him. He didn't take any of them seriously though. Maybe he was experimenting with his sexuality but still, I've never seen him with a guy before.

Now that my brain is back up and working, it hits me. Rex didn't say that he liked this guy. He said that he was in love with him. I've never heard him say this about anyone before. Rex had such a rough childhood and 'nearly toxic' parents, that he didn't have time for dating. But when he moved out for college he decided to date as much as possible to get back what he lost. I knew he wasn't satisfied but it didn't occur to me that it was because he couldn't love them the way he wanted to. If I could, I would bring all the happiness in the world and put it on his doorstep for him to bask in. I'm not sure how this is gonna turn out but I always wish the best for him.

Anyway, I'm still ignorant about the identity of his crush. Rexie won't tell me now but he has given me a task. I'm supposed to find out if that guy is straight or gay. Isn't that just awesome? But I'll do it for Rex. After all these years, he has finally mustered up the courage to come out to me. I must do it for Rex.

I've made a couple of plans but I'm not sure it will work out. One thing I have to be very careful about is not offending Rexie and his crush. I'm impulsive by nature. But for the next few days, I have to shut my stupid mouth to not make a mess in Rexie's life.

Tomorrow he's gonna take me to meet 'him'. Looks like he's not a stranger since we are going for lunch together. I wonder who it would be. Guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow to find out.
