love within distance

chapter 20: the friend request

I woke the next morning snuggled up to eddy with his hands wrapped around my waist. I instantly remembered the conversation we had last night and I couldn't help but think how great of a friend eddy really is. feeling really comfortable I stay laying down in his embrace, I have a pounding headache I don't think I could move even if I wanted to. I had hit my limit last night I was sober enough to know what I was saying and doing and to remember it when I woke up but I was drunk enough to pay for it in the morning with a huge headache, it feels as if someone is smashing my head into a wall repeatedly....note to self: take a break from alcohol.

all of a sudden I feel a hand move up my back I look up to Eddy now awake and smiling sleepily down at me. I smile back "good morning....I'm sorry if I woke you." I whisper to him. "morning and no you're fine. just not used to waking up with a girl snuggled up to me is all" he informs me. I giggle shyly "haha yeah...sorry but hey thank you for last night and if you ever tell anyone I cried I will deny it" I say in all seriousness before laughing. "aw your welcome and no worries your secret is safe with me and thank you as well for last night. you really helped and I'd appreciate it if what I said to you stays between us two." he tells me. "deal what was said and done last night stays between us." I say to him. "alright, sound like a deal" he replies. "um what do we have here....did two close friends hookup last night?" Aubrey's voice beams in. my eyes widen. oh my god me and eddy are still cuddling on the couch, this must look bad. I instantly get up a bit too fast for my liking cus I got really light headed and my head felt like a 100 pounds and it was throbbing. "its not what it looks like" I tell her truthfully. she just smirks at me. "oh really cus it looks like you two got pretty close last night when we all went to bed" she tells us. "we did actually but not like that...we didn't hookup or anything we just stayed up talking all night and we kinda just fell asleep on the couch together" eddy admits to her with out giving her all the details. "oh...well you guys are lame" Aubrey tells us before going into the kitchen and getting a glass of orange juice. eddy and I laugh at her comment....only Aubrey would say that. she seems different, happier almost glowing. then it dawned on me....yep Aubrey lost her v card last night ! I'll definitely be questioning her about that later...

*40 minutes later*

"hey do you wanna stay another night" Aubrey asks me. so I'm guessing my aunt won't be back from her business trip tonight. "um sure...when's your mom coming back home?" I ask her curiously. "not for another 2 days" she informs me. she seems a bit down, I think it bothers her that my aunt has been gone so much but she tries to smile and understand its work. "oh well alright I'll send my mom a text and let her know what's going on" I say taking out my phone from my back pocket and giving my mom a quick text telling her I'm staying another night and I love her. "so I was thinking we kick the boys out tonight and just have a girls night....maybe a movie or two and take out?" she tells me about her idea for tonight. that sounds like a great idea I need a break from partying. "sounds good...a much needed lazy girls night in. should be fun" I say to her smiling "alright cool and yeah I know right" she replies. I want to ask her about her night but I think I'll wait until waide leaves later to get the details.

*later*

all the guys where officially gone.

eddy was the first to leave, he had to go and get ready for work then drew left a little after him having to go meet up with "his boys" I guess and waide just left to give Aubrey her girls night she had planned. its now just us girls. aubrey , Michelle and I. "so I was thinking we order Chinese food considering we had pizza last night." Aubrey explains. mmmm yummy I love Chinese food ! "that sounds good to me...you know I love Chinese food" I tell her giggling a bit. she smiles "I know that's why I figured it'd be alright and well it sounds really yummy right now" she confesses. "I'm all for it, I agree it does sound really good... way better then pizza and a movie" Michelle admits. alright cool we're all good with Chinese tonight. "so what movie were you thinking of for tonight?" I ask. Aubrey smiles "its a classic romance...one of your favorites" she informs me with a smile. I instantly get excited knowing the answer to it "the notebook!" I say excitedly with a big grin on my face. I'm a sucker when it comes to romance especially if its a romance movie based off one of my all time favorite authors... Nicholas sparks is a genius I love all his novels. "yep" aub confirms happily. "oh my gosh its been forever since I've watched that movie" I admit. "I love that movie....Chinese food and the notebook? yep sounds like a pretty good night" Michelle says smiling. "I'll go call and order it are we good with our usual. . .beef lo mein and sweet and sour chicken?" Michelle asks us. Aubrey and I both nod in agreement before she goes and leaves the room to call and order the food. nows my chance to ask Aubrey how her night went.

"soo....' I start. "how was your night?" I finally asked her. hoping she would catch on to where I was heading with that question. she smiles...she knew exactly what I meant. "if you want to know if we had sex the answer is no" she says seriously but then smiles happily. I'm confused. I don't get it I really thought after our talk yesterday that last night when they went into her room I figured she was going to give up her v card and lose her innocence and when she woke up this morning she was different she was even more happy and cheerful then usual..she was glowing so I just assumed it happened but I guess not. "really? wow I'm surprised...well then what did happen I mean something had to have happened cus you seem different but in a good way of course" I tell her honestly. she just smiles widely at me. "well actually... we were close to doing it but neither one of us had protection so we stopped but then we got to talking and he told me he's glad that we had to stop. of course I was confused by that and then he explained and said and i quote "because I love you Aubrey and I've been wanting to tell you that i do for awhile and I wouldn't have wanted to tell you after we had sex and make you think I only said that because you gave it up to me or make you think I only love you because you gave it too me and that's not it at all I love you Aubrey before we have sex I want you to know I do I really love you..and I will love you after it happens and we take our relationship to the next level" I was in aw that he poured is heart out to me like that. he had never told me he loved me that was the first time he admitted his feelings for me and he couldn't have done it at a better time I was so happy Kristy I still am I love waide so much I might even be in love with him and knowing he feels the same way is just the best feeling ever. I told him I loved him too and we cuddled the rest of the night it was just so amazing and couldn't have been more perfect" Aubrey tells me. I can't help but be in complete aw right now I mean that is just so cute. I'm beyond happy for the both of them. they truly are a match made in heaven ! "oh my god...Aubrey" I say to her still in aw. eyes watering up...I'm so happy for her and that's just too cute. "I know" she tells me with a smile on her face. I then bring her into my arms for a big hug. "I'm happy for you cuzo" I tell her truthfully. "thanks boo I'm happy for me too" she replies. we both laugh at her response. "I love you always and forever boo" I tell her "I love you too cuzo forever and always pretty lady" she tells me.

*1 hour later*

I start to get a little upset and wonder...will I ever get the chance to see him again or at least talk to him and if I ever got in contact with him again after so long would we too still have something there like Allie and Noah and really made me think...what if and as if on cue my phone goes off. its Facebook notifying me that I have one new friend request so I click on it and my eyes widen, my heart stops I am in complete shock....its him !! nick burns wants to me your friend on facebook....CONFIRM CONFIRM CONFIRM !!!!!!! I hit the except button with a million things running through my mind its him, he found me, is this a sign, could I too have a love as true like Allie and Noah.... could I still have a chance......
