Chapter 3: Best Friends Know No Boundaries

*Picture of Ryan's on top. Doesn't Alex Pettyfer make the perfect hot best friend! 😍*

I am a person who enjoys their sleep. I love to sleep in late on weekends because they are the only days I don't have to wake up at the crack of dawn. Apparently, Ryan doesn't seem to understand that.

"Okay you need to explain your text that you sent me last night!" Ryan sang as he barged into my room. I groaned and covered my face with my pillow. "Get up you lazy ass! We need to talk!"

"I won't get up unless you have food with you," I mumbled. I heard him sigh and I knew that he had a scowl on his face. He stomped out of my room and I was grateful. After 20 minutes of blissful silence, I heard my front door being opened and slammed shut. Why did I give Ryan a spare key? I heard his footsteps approach my room and he opened my door. I felt something fall on my bed.

"Here you go. I got us breakfast from iHop," he said. At the word iHop, my eyes flew open and I threw my blankets off of me. I flung myself at him and clinged my arms around his neck.

"You are the best friend ever!" I exclaimed. I got off of him and greedily grabbed the bag that was on my bed. I opened it and the smell of red velvet pancakes hit my nose. "Aww you got my favorite," I squealed. Ryan rolled his eyes.

"Yeah I know. Come on, let's go eat and talk," he said as he gave me a pointed look. He grabbed the bag and headed to my kitchen. How did he know that I was going to grab the food and hide under the covers again? I reluctantly got out of bed and made my way to the kitchen. Ryan had set up the table to eat and it looked like he cooked. I smiled at him as I sat down.

"Thank you for the pancakes my dearest friend," I said as I grabbed my fork.

"It was no trouble at all my dear. Now tell me, what happened last night?" he asked, his mouth full of bacon and eggs.

"When I went on the bus, I was in my own little world and when I looked to the right, Prince Royce was sitting right there!" Ryan looked at me confused.

"Why was he on a bus?" he asked.

"I don't know. Anyways, when I looked at him, he was staring at me. I got really shy and embarrassed so I just kept my head down."

"You didn't talk to him!?" I shook my head and looked down at my pancakes. "Why not!? He is like on of your favorite singers and you had an opportunity to talk to him one on one and you just looked away!?"

"I know! I don't why I didn't even say hi to him or something. I just kept opening and closing my mouth like an idiot. Let me continue and stop interrupting me. After a while, the bus stopped and a lot of people were waiting. I saw Prince Royce was leaving and he started staring at me again as he was walking out. Why do you think he was staring at me?" I asked.

"Maybe because he thought you were hot," he said as he wiggled his eyebrows at me. I started laughing so hard that a piece of my pancake went down the wrong pipe. I had to drink milk to get it unstuck. "Why are you laughing Dulce?"

"Because no way would he think I'm 'hot'," I laughed as I shook my head at him.

"Come on you're not ugly. You're really beautiful. If I wasn't already madly with Thalia, I would definitely date you," he said as he wiggled his eyebrows at me. I started laughing at his sentence. Let me explain this real quick.

Ryan and I have been best friends since kindergarten. I had gotten pushed to the ground by some girl and I scraped my knee pretty bad. I didn't want to cry because I didn't want to be labeled as a crybaby. I just hugged my knee and sat there. I felt someone come by and sit down next to me. I looked up and saw a boy with messy brownish blondish hair and green eyes. He gave me a big grin, revealing 2 missing teeth. He put his arm around me and said, "Don't worry about her. If she doesn't want to be your friend, I'll be." Since then, we've been like 2 peas in a pod. I know I can always count on him to be there when I feel alone.

We got closer throughout the years and it seemed logical for us to develop feelings for each other. We didn't want to ruin our friendship that we've been building for years to go to waste because we wanted to see if we would "work." We got over the silly little crushes and moved on. Sometimes, I feel like Ryan still has a thing for me but I just ignore it. He's totally in love with Thalia and I can see it in their eyes.

"Anyways, how was your night with Thalia?" I asked as I wiggled my eyebrows at him. He turned beet red and refused to look me in the eyes.

"You don't need to know about that," he said stuffing his face with eggs.

"You slept with her didn't you!" I said teasingly. His silence confirmed it. "Oh my God you did! Aww my best friend is a man now!" I said as I got up from my seat and pinched his cheeks. He squirmed in his seat as he tried to get me to stop.

"Dulce stop it!" he yelled. "You're still a virgin!" I looked at him with a "are you kidding me?"look.

"You act like I care Ryan. You know guys like it when girls aren't sexually experienced. I just find it simply adorable that you're embarrassed about it," I said as I gave his cheeks one more pinch.

"Dulce you really need to stop pinching my cheeks!" he said as he swatted my hands away. "Just wait 'til you do it. I'm gonna tease you so much. We just gotta wait 'til you meet the prince of bachata again," he said with a smug grin in his face. I sat back down and rolled my eyes.

"As if I'd ever see him again and as if he'd ever bang me," I said as a bluch crept up on my face.

"Ahahahaha see you're embarrassed about it too!" he laughed, pointing at my face. I scowled at him and said, "Whatever let's just finish eating." Ryan kept that stupid grin on his face until he left. Don't know why he thinks he has that over me. He's the one who actually did something.
