memories part 2

Trent's proposal, she also likes him but not ready...is he worth the risk.

Recap

"I like you Tamara. It's been a while now so I'm not saying it,  just because I'm trying my luck or taking advantage of our friendship. But I genuinely have feelings for you. Please tell me how you feel."

She starts laughing.

All I could think was one word.  Rude
********************************************************************

I laughed as a stalling tactic. I didn't want to hurt his feeling especially with the way my mind just rebuked us being together. My face nearly showed my shocked and disbelief. I knew about his feelings but didn't think he would gather the nerve to ask me out. I mean really. He knows my plans, and I have no interest in dating. I mean I'm not sure how I feel about him. We just really good friends, right?

I laughed cause I also didn't want to hurt his feelings with my reaction, or lack of reaction. And I had to think of how to let him down easily. Rather laughter than weird facial expressions right. I would have looked like a fish that's constipated so trust me, this is way better.

Uhm, what to say?

Oh Brent, thank you but you not it for me. Nah there is no one else either. And I admit he is my type. What else? He knows I like being solo, nothing wrong with that at this stage right. So what else. You too sweet, it wouldn't work. I'm the poison ivy to your batman. It will never work. And I think she died...(a/n, really, I think she did but stands to be corrected). We doomed to begin with, let's rather not engage in it. Let's not start something we can't complete, or see till the end. Its good as it is.

Okay that's sounds about as truthful as I want it to be. Let's go with the truth then.

"Brent, sorry but I'm not into being attached to a boyfriend, let's stick to being friends." Pat on the back, that wasn't too bad. And its straight to the point as well, I deserve ice-cream after this.

"Tamara, I know you don't want a boyfriend yet. But give a chance to be more than just a friend. It may not be now but later when you ready?"

"I think in 10 years I might be ready. But I'm not holding on hope to being with you at that time. What if I meet someone new and we like each other or you meet someone and you love her more than me. Let's not do this. I have plans to leave this place and meet new people. You know I hate it here and need a new change, away from everyone here." Sorry, you cannot get out of the friends zone as yet. You my closest friend. Actually you more in the family zone than the friend zone.

"I can't help how I feel."

I can't help how I feel either. I wanted you with me till the end Brent. We could have left this town together but now ill have to keep worrying about your feelings. Explain why I have to meet the people I need to meet and why they look so different. Why I'm so different. But I can't give you what you need. I wanted to tell you everything about me, but it doesn't matter now. I'll handle it alone.

Brent

I stood there and watched her deep in thought. I never saw her so pensive before. Does she really not like me? Did I really not stand a chance. I knew we were close and our families knew each other. Isn't that enough for her to accept my feelings. We a great match. I care for her and she cares for me. We good together. Maybe I should tell her I know.

Tamara

"Let's go get ice cream?" Lord knows i need it. Please say yes.

Brent

I'm disappointed. I guess she wants to wants to move on from this conversation. But I'm not over it. Guess I'll follow along but I'm not holding back next time.

"Sure."

I can't be in a relationship alone. I'll be oblivious as you are. But know I'll get you Tamara.

A/n
What does Brent know? Do you think he is the best for her? Did he deserve to be rejected? I'm not sure either hahahahaha...

The chapter took a turn but I'm  not sure which direction to take it yet, so reserve your assumptions please and keep reading. But I'm going for typical, just a bit though. You can rate how much at the end.
