Alfred pulls his lips from mine. I touch my lips lightly. I'm at a loss of words. My best friend just kissed me.

"Natalia, I'm in love with you. I mean it. But you're always talking about your brother. It's like you don't think about anyone else." Alfred explains.

"Al, I like you, but I'm still trying to solve this situation with my brother." I tell him.

"Look, Natalia. I hate to say this, but Ivan is your brother and he'll always be your brother, nothing more. Get it through your head!" Alfred takes my shoulders and shakes them lightly.

"No, stop. Alfred he's-"

"You're in denial, Natalia. He loves you, just not how you want him to. Natalia, you're always frowning or looking sad, you rarely ever smile, and you're mean to quite a few people. You're obviously not happy, right?"

"Well no but-"

'Then stop thinking about Ivan. Forget him. Do you want to be happy?" Alfred asks.

"Yes." I'm close to tears. I can't even look at Alfred. He lifts my chin up.

"Then let me make you happy. Please, I can be your hero, just give me a chance."

"Alfred I-"

"Please."

"...I'll try."
