We arrived at my house and Chandler sat down on the couch with me. "Why did you want to leave so early?" I ask. He sighed reluctantly before answering my question. "After my mom died 2 years ago, he's been depressed and became an drug addict and an alcoholic. He's been out of it and there's no telling what he's going to do. He's been in and out of rehab and jail. I just didn't want you to see him when he's like that." He says. The only thing I can say is oh. I immediately feel bad for his mom's death and his dad's troubles. "We should go out tomorrow." He suddenly states. "Why?" I ask. "I don't know. I had a good time today." He says with a smile. "Yeah. It was a good day." I say returning the smile. "I'm glad you came to my house to sell me tickets to my game." He says laughing. "No problem, anytime." I say joining in.
"So will you go out with me tomorrow?" He asks me. "Yes." I say.
*Next Day*
I got ready for my day out with Chandler. My phone starts ringing and I look at the caller ID to see that it's Makayla. "Hello?" I ask. "What are you doing?" She asks. "Getting ready for my day out with Chandler." I say excitedly. "He asked you out today..." She trails off. "Um.. Yeah. Why?" I ask. "ITS VALENTINES DAY!" She says. "Oh my gosh I forgot!" I say. "Do you know where you're going?" She asks. "No." I say sighing. "Okay well I'll talk to you later." She says hanging up before I can respond.
I finish getting ready and hear a knock on the door. I walk downstairs and open the door to see Chandler. "Hey." I smile up at him. "Hi." He replies breathily. "You look really good. We should..um.. Head out?" He says quickly. I blushed and followed him to the car.
We pull up to a restaurant called La Rosetta and stepped out of the car. We sit at our table and grab out menus. I quickly scan over mine when I notice Chan staring at me. A waitress comes by and asks for our orders. We decide to share a steak and loaded baked potato meal. Our food got to our table and Chan and I made small talk. Everything was going good until I leaned over and kissed him. Out of nowhere Makayla came to our table and started yelling. "What the hell are you doing?!" I yell back at her. "What do you mean?! You just fucking kissed him!" She yells back. "So what?!" Chandler yells at her. "He is mine." She hisses at him. I was taken aback by what she said and couldn't speak. "No, he's not! You're crazy." Chan says in disbelief. I snap out of the trance I was currently in. "Makayla. What are you talking about? You're my best friend. Nothing more, nothing less." I try to talk some sense into her. She suddenly breaks down into tears."I love you." She whispers. "Well I hate you so bye bitch." I say. (JUST KIDDING. What he really said was...) "I love you too Makayla but only as a friend." I say. "I'm sorry. I have to go." She says before running out of the restaurant. "I'm sorry about that." I say to Chandler. "It's okay." He says reassuringly. "Can we leave?" I ask noticing all the stares we were getting. He looked around before nodding his head.
We drive back to my place and he comes in for a bit. "I'm sorry that she kind of ruined our day." I say. "Stop apologizing." He says. He looked at me with a confused look on his face. "What?" I ask. "Why did you tell Makayla that you weren't hers? Aren't you dating?" He asks. "Well as you obviously know, I'm gay. I didn't want anyone to know so she agreed to pretend to be my girlfriend." I explain."Oh. That makes sense. That's what I did with Marah." He says. "Really? I could've sworn you were in love with her." I say deeply confused. "I guess we did a pretty good job of getting everyone to believe our lie." He says. "It's really late." I say. He looked behind him at the clock that said it was going on 11 o'clock. "You're right. I should get going." He states. I walk him to his car. "Even though our day was kinda crashed, I enjoyed it." He says smiling. "I did too." I smile back.
"Can I ask you something?" He says. "Shoot." I say. "Will you..be my boyfriend?" He asks.
At that moment in time I feel my heart drop to my feet and tears roll down my face. I've been waiting for him to say those five words everyday of my life for the past 3 years now. He was the reason that I finally discovered what my sexuality was. I was extremely thankful to have met him and to have talked to him. I was thankful to have him in my life. I was thankful to have him in my life as my boyfriend."Yes." I whisper.
