It's been awhile since we originally started our conversation but it hasn't stopped

We moved it to the living room, I'm honestly really intrigued in Emily's life.

She has no family present not really anyway, her source of income is her grandmother. She cleans and takes care of her grandma's house. Plus doing little side jobs like taking out the trash or walking her dog.

She doesn't make very much and is struggling with money. She lives in a two bedroom house and one of them is for storage.

But I've also learned that her favorite flowers are white roses, she loves the smell of vanilla and lavender, and her favorite activities are swimming and singing.

I don't know how or why but the more I learn about her the more I enjoy about her.

She's a kind hearted individual just being put in the wrong situations, she deserves more than she gets. She's never been loved by anyone that truly desires her.

Apart of me wants to give her that love. I don't know why, I've only known her for a few days. But she already means alot to me. She's like the flower I know needs protecting.

I want to protect her.

"Sorry that was alot." She says lowering her head and tapping her foot on the floor

I walk over to her and bend down infront of her, putting my hand on her knee to help stop the bouncing and I use my hand to lift her chin up making her look at me

"Emily, you never have to apologize for something like that. If anything I loved listening to you, thank you for talking to us about it all."

She nods her head biting her lip but resting her leg

I don't know how I'm already so entranced by her I want to give her all my attention

"I know this may sound weird and I'm sorry if it does.. but you guys have made me feel cared for? In the few days I've known both of you you've made me feel safe." She whispers loudly enough to be heard by the two of us

"I feel the same way." Zack says softly

"Same here." I agree getting up from the floor and sitting next to her

Zack coming to sit on the other side of her

"It is weird that we're already kind of close?" She asks

"I mean perhaps to some people, but some people just click like this. I see no issues." Zack says

I nod in agreement, we've already learned so much about another and we've only known eachother for just a few days

"I was wondering if we could hang out again like this? All three of us." Emily says

"I'd honestly love to." I say

"Me too." Zack says

We sit there in silence for alittle just enjoying eachothers company

•••

It's late at night now Emily's gone home and it's just me and Zack

We're sitting on the couch in silence before I gently interrupt it

"So what are your thoughts about Emily?" I say

"I think she's cool honestly, she has something different about her than everyone else." Zack says softly

"I agree."

"Anyway, I'm getting really tired. I'm gonna go to bed" I say getting up and making my way to my room shutting the door behind me

I lay down on my bed and try to process everything that's been happening. I'm confused, utterly and painfully confused. I'm starting to feel things towards Emily and I'm not sure if that's a good thing.

I have no words to explain how I feel it's all so confusing, I've never felt this way towards anyone. She's captivating, incredible, and I'm so intranced.

She's so breathtaking, and I don't think I'll be able to stay away from her; much less stop thinking about her.

I know I've only know her for a few days but gosh, everything she does is so perfect to me.

I get out of bed and make my way to my bathroom, turning the shower water on, and undressing.

I wait for the water to warm up before stepping into it and closing the sliding door behind me. The windows on the door start to fog up and steam.

The condensation softly and slowly forming at the top and dripping down to the very bottom. The mist is spread throughout the air, rising and falling. It's soothing to just be able to breathe.

I lean against the shower wall and close my eyes, listening to the soft patter of water against the shower floor.

I softly exhale and open my eyes as I step under the water and allow it to drip down my back.

I wash my hair and body before turning off the shower water and step out.

I see the mist rise into the air as it's set free from it's confinement, I look into the mirror.. or aleast try to, it's foggy and almost unrefelective.

I dry myself off and walk into my bedroom, taking a pair of underwear, sweatpants, and a black baggy tee-shirt, and putting it on.

I go to my bed before just standing there filled with conflicting thoughts.

The way I feel isn't what's wrong, it never has been.

I'm scared of the commitment and failure that may come with.

Especially because I'm in love with my guy best friend just as I am Emily.

I take off my shirt and get into bed, closing my eyes soon drifting off to sleep
