Forever and Always

Tickles and Hugs

"Rich, stop!" I giggled as he tickled me, endlessly.

"Not until you say it!" He chuckled.

"Fine! Rich McDonald is the best actor ever!" I chuckled.

He stopped and smiled.

"Happy, now?" I asked.

"Yep." He nodded.

He got off me and sat down.

"It's funny how a conversation turns out into a tickle fest." He said.

"Yeah. It is funny when you put it that way." I laughed lightly.

"When are you next working?" He asked.

"Sometime next week." I shrugged.

"At least I don't have to undergo tickling torture to tell a lie." I mumbled with a devious smile.

"Do you want me to do it again?" He asked with a smirk.

I got up and smiled.

"Need to catch me first." I said, started to run away from him as he got up and chased me.

After about 3 minutes of running around, Rich finally catches me, picks me up and spins around.

"You finally got me, your so slow." I chuckled.

"Shut up." He smiled, putting my feet on the ground.

I steadied myself and gave him a huge hug.

"I've missed you, Rich." I sighed.

"I've missed you too, Felicia. A lot." He said, giving me a kiss on the cheek.

We may be friends but a kiss on the cheek never hurt anyone.

"I better head off, work tomorrow but I'll come back after work." He said.

"Okay then." I smiled at him.

"I'll see you tomorrow." He said, giving me one last hug.

"Bye, love. Drive safe." I said, hugging him back.

He pulled away and walked out.

I had always kept feelings for Rich but it was hard. It'll get in the way of our friendship, I don't want that. But I love him, Forever and Always.
