I Don't Care If It Will Break My Heart.

'Best Friends' Means Forever, Cunt.

A few days had passed since I had come back to Scranton, and it has been the best thing. Chris and I have been together for almost a month already, it's hard to believe.

I was blow-drying my hair to perfection when Chris appeared in the doorway. I turned off the blow-dryer once my hair was done.

"Hi, my love," I said and planted a soft peck on his lips. He grinned.

"Umm, baby, I think there's someone you need to talk to," he said, walking out of the room into the hallway, pulling me behind him. I started to walk down the stairs but saw bright orange hair. I turned around and started to walk back upstairs but Chris got in the way.

"Kari Lynn Marie Taylor, stop being stubborn and go talk to her." He pointed to Manny and I let out a loaded sigh. I walked down the stairs and sat in the recliner chair.

"Hey," I said, clearly annoyed.

"Hey," she said gingerly. There was so much tension in the room I started to squirm uncomfortably. "I think a gay baby was just born."

We both started giggling and fell into easy conversation. It was nice. I missed my best friend. That's when things got awkward.

"I'm sorry, Kari," she started. I was about to say something, but she stopped me. "No, listen. I should've been there for you. I was just upset that you were leaving me because of a guy, I had no idea what had happened between you two, or what he said to you, I didn't know. I should've asked you when I noticed things starting to change, but I didn't put two and two together. I hate that it took you leaving for me to realize how much I need you to be my best friend. And I hate that Chris couldn't realize what he had right in front of him before you left."

I was a little shocked. I wasn't expecting her to say all that.

"I forgive you," I said honestly. I needed her, too. "And I'm sorry, too. I should've talked to you before I ran away."

"Kari, you thought that it was the best thing to do for you at the time. I understand that. I should've been supportive."

I didn't know what to say, so I just hugged her. I hugged her hard. And for once in a long time, I felt like I had my best friend back. I was glad.

We talked for a while longer before she told me that she had to go to work. I hugged her and we promised we'd talk later.

After she walked out the door, I went up to Chris's room. Stopping in the doorway, I saw that he was laying on the bed, his legs hanging off one side, in nothing but his black boxers. His hair was still wet from a shower, and only his eyebrows were drawn on. I bit my lip. He looked so sexy.

Needless to say but Chris and I haven't had sex yet since we got together officially, and damn it, it's been almost a year and a half, maybe even longer since the last time. I was overly sexually frustrated.

I walked over casually to him.

"Hey baby," he said, looking over at me. "How'd it go?"

"Good," I responded. casually sliding one leg over his legs and sitting on his lap, straddling his leg. His eyes were on me, and wide, and I ran my finger along the elastic of his boxers. One swift motion and they'd be on the floor, I thought as Chris grabbed my hand, pulling me down onto his chest and rolling so we were on our sides.

"No, Kari," he said sternly. I frowned. I wanted him too much to wait. "Not yet anyways."
