Forbidden Desire - (Gal Gadot)

11:05 a.m.

For Thanksgiving, I am having my family fly over from Israel to visit me. This will be our third time celebrating this holiday together.

Everyone believes I am an amazing cook, but I usually have my long time friend come and help me.

"Chris, answer the phone damn it." I sigh under my breath, becoming frustrated. I need him to help me get groceries.

Is it bad that I still feel horrible for jumping on Katie like that? Honestly, I need to stop jumping to conclusions.

Although she is always confessing her feelings, she hasn't said that special three word phrase that I am longing to hear. I know she is somewhat new to it, so I don't want her to rush. I just hope she understands that I do love her.

I begin to clean the kitchen, to stop myself from overthinking. Finally, after a few good minutes, my phone starts to ring. Chris.

"Well, hello there!"

"I'm in your driveway. Ready to get some groceries?"

"Chris I- I'm not even dressed to go out right now."

"I'll be waiting."

And he hangs up. Okay, so with that said, I go upstairs to get changed. I put on a nice V-neck shirt, then I slide a jacket on. Got my jeans on, and boots. Ready to go.

I walk out of my house and into Chris's car. "I'm so excited. I really can't wait to cook. It's so good seeing you again."

Chris sighs with a nice smile, and begins to drive off. "Great to see you too, Gal! Sorry I didn't answer earlier, your boyfriend was just talking to me. I always thought you were lesbian, why didn't you—"

"Boyfriend? What?"

"So you are lesbian?"

I roll my eyes and sigh, looking out the window. "He's watching me! I cannot believe it."

Bill, the man I work with (unfortunately) is stalking me. What dirt is he trying to catch on me? The fact that I may be involved with Katie? We don't do anything publicly, but that does scare me... if he's looking in my windows.

"I am so confused... watching you?"

"Chris... I am going to tell you everything because you are my best friend and I trust you. If I tell you, promise me you will help keep me safe—"

Chris pulls over on the side of the road and gives me a serious look. "Safe? I'll do everything I can to keep you safe. Please inform me."

12:19 p.m.

I told Chris everything, and to my surprise, he doesn't really think high of my involvement with Katie. Even though that is his opinion, he does respect mine and promised to help us stop Bill.

Chris probably doesn't care that much for Katie because he has had a crush on me since forever. I am very happy to have him as a best friend, he is very important to me.
