Main characters Milo and Thalia have been friends since Middle school. What will happen when feelings turn into more than just friendship? All of their friends are now on the path to trying to get the two of them togeth...
The entire drive home I just kept thinking to myself that I am not driving back to Lucas's house. Usually I would be on my way to his house for the night and it kind of hurt a little knowing that I will never go back, or even want to go back. When I got into my apartment I saw Dash lounging on the couch watching tv.
"Hey, so you finally broke up with Lucas today?" Dash says the words without taking his eyes away from the show he was watching.
"Yeah. I guess you can call it that. How do you know?"
"He came by earlier." I'm utterly shocked, I don't even think I can believe it.
"No he didn't."
"How do I benefit from lying to you? Silly girl."
"Well... did he say anything?"
"He came hear crying and shit so I shut the door in his face at first. Then he started begging me to open the door so I got annoyed and thought that the neighbors would complain so I opened it. But I sure as heck didn't let him in. Don't like that guy, he's not entering my home without permission." Is it weird that some part of me felt... bad?
"Dash, stay on topic." I snap at him and he shakes his head to focus.
"Oh yeah! Anyways... he came in and told me that he wanted to apologize to you. So I lied and said you were in the shower, because I already turned on the water since I was about to go in. And because I'm nosey and wanted to know what he was apologizing for. He ran in a stood outside the bathroom crying to you.
"He said that he didn't want to hurt you and that he didn't even think about the girl he was married to ever since he met you. He said that he would go and file the papers in the morning because he only wants to be with you and only you. Then I realized he said that he was already married and I thought to myself 'Thalia would not stand for this'. So I told him that you were over him and kicked him out." He kept his eyes on the tv the whole time and finally ripped his eyes from it to lock eyes with me. "Oh yeah, and right when he got to the door I punched him right in the jaw." And he looked back at the tv.
That's just how Dash is. He is so blunt with everything he does that it is just so natural for him. He didn't even think twice about hurting someone for me. He has the same mindset as the others and I told them that I didn't want them to hit Lucas. But hearing him say that he did it actually felt good.
"You're such a sweetheart. Janell wanted to hit him too."
"I should have called her to get in on it too." He let's out a small snicker. Like he would ever spend time with Janell if he had the choice. Him and Janell are like two peas in a pod, they are practically the same person. But enough so that the two of them clash heads whenever they are together. Janell just flirts with Dash and Dash tries to show her how not interested he actually is in her, never succeeding.
"Well what was I supposed to do? Just let him go after telling me that he probably hurt your heart. Thalia you don't have a big brother to beat up the boys or make them pay for treating you wrong. But luckily you have me... and I kind of wanted to punch that guy since the day I met him. I mean have you ever looked at him? Such a punchable face to hit. I always told you I didn't like him anyways."
It's true. Dash and I have been friends since we were kids and he has never disapproved of a friend before. But the second he met Lucas, he puffed out his chest and crossed his arms over his chest after he pushed up his sleeves. He showed off his tattooed muscles to Lucas and from that moment, Lucas was a tiny bit scared of him.
"You aren't going to ask me anything else that happened between the two of us?" I ask.
"Nope. If you want to tell me what happened you can wait until the show is over for me to give you my undivided attention. Until then you can shut up for a little bit. Oh and go wipe off your mascara, don't cry over an asshole, it's not worth it." Yup, typical Dash. Telling it like it is.
I took a shower and headed to bed. Wrapping myself up in the comforter I just sat there thinking. Without noticing the water trickle down my cheeks I thought about him. How someone could claim to be so in love with you that they want to share forever when they really had someone legally tied to them already. I suspected it was an accident, that maybe it was a drunken mistake or something but the look in his eyes showed it was something more.
The worst part is that we had been together since college. We had been close ever since, so when did he go off and get married? When did he look me in the eyes and tell me he loved me just to run off with some other girl and tie the knot.
After a little bit, Dash came in with some popcorn and lay down in the bed. "People usually make popcorn before they watch their show, not after." I say, wiping the tears from my eyes and sitting upright.
"I was going to wait until you got back to make it. You love popcorn and I didn't want to hear you complain that I finished it all before you got back."
"How sweet Dashy." He rolls his eyes. "Dash. What if I never find a guy who will treat me right?"
"Shut up. Just because you accidentally picked the worst guy in the world to like doesn't mean that you'll never find someone ever again." Tears start to stream down my cheeks just thinking about the awful situation I got myself into. I was supposed to have a husband in two days.
I still have the stupid ring on my finger. The ring that he picked out for me a couple of months ago. What do I do with it now? Keep it as a reminder of my past mistakes? Give it back to him, just for him to give it to the woman who is already his wife? Sell it? Maybe I could afford to buy myself something fun with the money.
"Let's throw it in the ocean." Dash says the sentence with such excitement. I hadn't realized that I was staring at the ring for that long. "Maybe a fish will find it and give it to his fish fiancé." The sentence makes me giggle. Dash takes the ring off of my finger and places it on the table next to my bed.
"Dash you got butter on my hand." I complain as I look at my hand.
"Then use your buttery fingers to eat some popcorn before I finish it all."
"What do I do now? Just forget about him?"
"Thalia, you are twenty five, you have so many years to decide what to do with you life. You don't have to make every decision right this second. And I think that I know a person who might benefit from all of this."
"What are you talking about?" I ask, confused and his eyes grow wider.
"It's not my secret to tell." He says quickly.
"Wait... someone likes me?" Dash gets up and sprints out of the room into his own room sprinting behind him.
"I told you it's not my secret to tell. You know I'm not the best with secrets." Someone likes me? Impossible.
