Two Hearts In Love

It was four days before valentines day and for a girl with the perfect boyfriend you would think I'd be happy and excited right? wrong, considering my "boyfriend" isn't as perfect as I thought, nope he hates valentine's day and is as boring as a goldfish in a bowl. he hasn't  been the same and isn't the same guy whom I fell for back four months ago, he's changed and became this completely different guy a jerk and an arrogant asshole why I'm still with him is a question I ask myself everyday, it's a question that I can never answer, but enough about him for now I cannot even begin to tell you how nervous I am about valentine's day...well anxious to tell you the truth. why I feel this way is a long story, a complicated one at that but to make it short and simple here's a sum up, on top of the fact that my boyfriend is a douche I may have lost John my best guy friend since we were little. We haven't spoken since he confessed that he had feelings for me for a very long time. I remember it as if it were only yesterday, we were hanging out as usual and I was a bit spaced out because of the whole wade thing, of course John took notice and proceeded to ask me questions,

"hey what's on your mind there Ria?"

he asked me with this sweet but very subtle and innocent semi smile, you know I never did notice how nice his smile was

"hey earth to ria"

he said to me snapping me out of my thoughts

"sorry" 

I replied to him as I looked down at the ground to avoid becoming sadder.

"tell me riri what's on your mind"

he said as he took his hand and gently placed it around my shoulder while using his free hand to gently bring my head back up, only to look at him dead in the face.

"it's just wade again he...."

I didn't get to finish my sentence because he quickly interrupted

"for god sakes ria when are you going to wake up and realize he's no good for you?!?!?"

he asked me, I can tell he was frustrated and angry but I wasn't sure why, again my thoughts were interrupted when I heard him say

"for god sakes ria you need to dump him you deserve someone better who will treat you right"

I couldn't help but ask him out of curiosity

"someone like who John hmm?"

that's where it all started that question, a question I would soon come to regret asking. He gave me this look, a look I have never seen him give me before, then he grabbed my hands and said to me

"Maria I know this is probably a bad time but there is something you need to know..."

I sat there confused with a million thoughts running through my head, suddenly another interruption from my thoughts as he began to speak again.

"ria ever since I can remember I have had and continue to have deep strong feelings for you..."

I quickly interrupted him with a look of shock on my face

"wait what? I..."

he quickly silenced me

"shh let me finish'

he said placing his finger on my lips to hush me up and then he continued

"Maria for a long time I have watched you become an even more amazing person beautiful, smart, funny, kindhearted. I have seen you date some pretty pathetic dudes and I couldn't take it, seeing you hurting I wanted to so badly comfort you and let you know everything will be alright, not as your best friend but as your one and only man, but I contained myself for so long until now I just can't anymore, I can't watch you hurt anymore like this Maria I...I'm"
