Best Friends

Roseanne

I woke in the morning and immediately remembered last night, I smiled and giggled quietly. My body was aching a little but it actually felt nice, like a little reminder of her. I rolled over to see that her side of the bed was empty again, my heart stopped until I noticed on her pillow there was a folded piece of paper and a yellow tulip. I sat up and smiled running my finger over the waxy petals, yellow tulips were my favourite flowers, her Mom grew them in their back garden. My heart skipped a beat when I thought of her going over to her garden to pick me the flower then sneaking back into my house, God she is such a sweet girl! I picked up the note

Roseanne,

I've gone to help Yoon clean up after the party, his house was a bit of a mess apparently. Give me a call when you wake up, we need to talk about us being friends and what happened last night.

Lisa

My heart stopped again, we need to talk about last night and us being friends, what the hell? Oh God she was regretting it! I knew what she was going to say, it shouldn't have happened, she didn't like me in that way, she didn't want a girlfriend, it shouldn't happen again. I couldn't breathe, I knew this was coming so why did it hurt so much? I shook my head trying to clear it, it's ok Roseanne everything will work out fine and you can still be friends with your best friend but this needs to stop, it can't happen again or the friendship wont be able to get over it.

I climbed out of the bed stretching my body like a cat, my leg and hip muscles were tight but not painful. I walked into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. My hair was sticking up in all directions and had a big knot in the back from our exerts last night, and my lips were slightly puffy from all the kissing and I had a huge love bite on my neck. I switched on the shower and stood under it for a long time trying desperately not to get upset. Last night was incredible and I wouldn't have changed it for the world at least I get to keep that forever and still have my best friend.

Once my muscles were relaxed enough I got out and went back to my bedroom. I decide to call Lisa, as I picked up my phone I saw I had three new texts, all from GD.

11:03 pm - I'm really sorry Jailbait, I really like you and want to try, I promise I wont say anything about Lisa, please call me when you get this, your phone is turned off.

1:12am - Please Roseanne, can you at least talk to me? I'm going crazy! Your phone is still off or maybe your avoiding me? Please call me.

10:12am - Roseanne, I'm really sorry, please call me I can get over it I promise, I really think this could work between us.

I frowned, wow he is really into me, I know I like him but not in the way that I like Lisa, but I can't keep thinking about Lisa, damn it! I need to move on so that things don't get awkward and maybe GD can help me with that. I sighed and pulled on some clothes and sat back on the bed staring at my phone with Lisa's number on the screen, I need to call her and get this sorted quickly.

I took a deep breath and pressed call, "Hey Roseanne." She chirped when she answered, she sounded happy and my heart squeezed at the sound. How did this happen? How the hell did I fall in love with my best friend?

"Hey Lisa, how's the cleaning going?" I asked cautiously not knowing how to start the awkward and painful conversation.

"Yeah good we're nearly done, good job too his Mom's due back in an hour," she said with a chuckle, I smiled.

Ok lets get this done quickly like pulling off a band aid. "Lisa about last night," I said trying to sound confident.

"Yeah," she said huskily making my body go crazy again, I pushed the feelings away.
