Laughter filled the space as the pair laid in the floor of the girl's townhouse, recalling the events of Melody's date the night prior.

Though Joe smiled, he couldn't help but feel slightly jealous the more she spoke. Watching as her eyes lit up with every event described, reminding him of a love-sick puppy.

He'd never say but in that moment he secretly hoped she spoke of him this way too. Voice silvery and angelic, dripping of endearment. He couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like to be loved in that way.

What it would feel like to be loved by her.

Staring at the blonde girl next to him, he realized for the first time, something was different.

He was falling for his best friend.
