As I sank into the plush comfort of my bed, a familiar dilemma gnawed at my thoughts. Should I really be calling Tasia? She's undeniably one of my closest friends, but lately,things have been....different . How can I continue to maintain a platonic relationship when my heart is starting to say something else.

The soft glow of the bedside lamp cast gentle shadows across the room, illuminating the swirl of conflicting emotions that churned within me. Yet, despite my internal turmoil, a part of me couldn't deny the longing that tugged at my heartstrings. I missed Tasia – her laughter, her warmth, the way her voice wrapped around me like a comforting embrace.

With a sigh, I reached for my phone, my fingers hesitating over the screen. With a decisive tap, I initiated the call, the anticipation building with each passing ring. Would she answer? Would she sense the unspoken turmoil that weighed on my mind?

"Hello my love , I was starting to think you forgot about me " she said in that ethereal tone . I found myself crossing my legs, a physical response to her greeting .

"No I couldn't do that ,how are you ?" I asked .
"I'm ok , I really miss my friend you've been gone 3 days too long "

Hm . Friend . The word shouldn't have hurt me as much as it did."Don't worry I only have 2 more days up here and then we can hang out like normal " I reassured her .
She took a deep sigh "thats sounding like a long time from now"

"It won't be too bad, I promise. So, tell me, what's been going on with you?" I asked, eager to shift the focus away from my own swirling emotions.

"Mmmmmm, nothing really, you know, it's just me in the house," Tasia replied, her voice tinged with a hint of loneliness.

"Oh yeah? When does Kendall get back?" I inquired, attempting to steer the conversation towards safer waters.

"In about two weeks or so. Oh my god, girl, so I was on the phone with Dani, and she was talking about some BDSM test," Tasia exclaimed, her tone shifting to one of excitement.

"A BDSM test?!" I said , caught off guard by the sudden change in topic.

"Yeah, and she thought it would be funny if we all took it. And what better time than now since we're already on the phone together. Do you mind if I add her to the call?" Tasia asked eagerly.

"No, go ahead," I insisted, though inwardly I felt a twinge of apprehension. Adding Dani to the call would surely liven things up, but it also had the potential to stir up some unresolved feelings. Still, I welcomed the distraction.

"Heyyyy my bitchesss"
"Hi Daniellee"
"Hey girl "
"I assume Tasia told you my idea "Dani said
"Yeah you ol freaky ass"
"Uhn uhn see yall always saying that bout me that's why today we gonna find out the truth " Our laughter filled the call she was so crazy .
