Just My Friend (COMPLETE)

I Love You Too

~Staceys POV~

I heard a knock at the door and got up from my bed and went to get it. I turned the doorknob and opened the piece of large dark oak that had been fashioned into a door. As the door opened there I saw Devin looking at me.
"I can't go through with it. I can't live my life with someone other then you." He said pulling me into him before he crashed his lips upon mine. He kissed me passionately, our lips hungry for each others.
My heart was beating fast. "Yes! This is finely happening." I thought to myself as I felt his lips against mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck right before he pulled away from the kiss.
"I love you, Stace." He said looking into my eyes.
"I love you too, Devin." I said before kissing his lips once more.

My eyes flicked open telling me it was all just a dream, my heart was pounding and my head felt light. "What's going on?" I asked myself. This isn't normal for me, as much as I  pine for him, I've never had a romantic dream about him. Why am I now? My heart feels so heavy for him right now.
I got out of my bed and walked out of the room. As I stepped into the hallway my eyes flicked to the guest room.
"No. Don't be stupid." I told myself as I turned to go to the kitchen.

I got a glass of water and headed back to my room. My feet moved slowly down the hallway, my heart started picking up pace, my eyes fixed on my door. Suddenly my head turned to the guest bedroom door as I heard the doorknob turning. The door opened and Devin stepped out into the hallway.
"Stace?" He asked looking groggy
"Yeah, sorry did I wake you?" I asked and he shook his head.
"Nah I just woke up out of no where about 30 mins ago." He said
"But why are you up?" He asked and I felt my heart jump. How am I going to answer that?
"I had a dream that woke me up." I told him trying not to lie.
"Oh, are you still having those nightmares? He asked looking at me sympathetically.
"Yeah, some times. But it wasn't a nightmare, it just woke me up." I said and immediately regretted it.
"Oh, then what was it?" He asked and I thought I may just die of a heart attack.
"Umm... well it was about..." I said my voice trailing off.
"About what?" He questioned.

"About, you." I said quietly and he perked up.
"Really? Due go on." He said smiling and then leaning up against the wall. Great, I'm either going to have to tell him the truth (not happening) or I have to make something up.
"Uhh. Well, you had found yourself a new girl. And you came to my house to tell me that you had finely found the One. I of course was very happy, and told you how I felt about it... we both seemed really happy about it all, and I just woke up. I guess I was just so happy with it that I woke up." I said telling him a half truth. But hey I think I didn't do to bad.
"Whoa. Well then, I'm glad that I found the right woman in a dream at least." He said with a chuckle and I sighed a breath of relief since he bought it.
"Well...  night, Devin." I said before rushing into my room and closing the door behind me.

~Devin's POV~

I walked back into my room and closed the door behind me.

"What was that all about?" I asked myself. You can't tell me she was telling me the truth, or at least not all of it. I've know Stacey for 10 years and I can often tell if she is lying. And I can tell you for sure that she was lying big time. But why? And why in the heck did my body randomly wake me up like that? I don't know, this is all so weird.

Maybe she will tell me later.

~Staceys POV~

I tossed and turned all night long. I can't believe I had that dream, and that I lied to Devin like that.
"What's happening to me?" I asked God.
My heart wanted to go tell Devin the truth about last night and about the way I feel about him, but my head says "No, not yet.". And as much as it kills me, I'm going with my head.

"Am I doing the right thing? Will this ever actually happen? I just want to love the man that you made for me, and I really believe that man has always been Devin. Will he ever see me like that? I just don't see you working here. God are you working here?" I asked God as I sat on my bed.
I decided to grab my bible from beside my bed, yes I have it on my nightstand now. I opened it up and turned the page looking for some kind of confirmation, or just anything that may stand out.
My eyes stopped on one verse, and I don't think it was by accident.

Romans 8:28
And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

I felt peace flood my heart and soul as I read through that scripture.

"I love you, God. No matter what the out come of this is, you are my God and my Father. Your ways are perfect, although I may not see it now and I may not see it then. I will never stop loving you, and you will never stop being my father." I said with a smile.

"Father, make me into the woman that I need to be. Give me the heart to care for the man you made for me, give me the strength to hold him up in the hard times. Give me the joy to brighten his darkest days. Give me the wisdom to know how to help him through his trials, and give me the love to encourage him. Lord, never let my heart be far from him, let me submit to your ways and his. Help me to be the woman of God that he needs. And God, just make me into who you want me to be." I prayed

"Work in Devin's life, guide each step he takes. Keep him safe, keep him in your will. Father, make him the man of God that you made him to be. Amen." I said looking up and feeling completely empowered.
