The Unspoken Truth

Chapter Ten

We eat silently, until I interrupt. "I'm sorry" Willow looks up from her food "you should be!" She snarled. I take a deep breath in and sign obnoxiously. "Will you forgive me?" Willow gets up and pushes in her chair, "I don't know if I can Carman" she walks out the restaurant before I could say anything. I hit my fist on the table an yell "FUCK! Why am I such an idiot?" I rush out to the parking lot, at this time it's pouring. By the time I get in the truck I'm soaked. Willow turns to me and smirks. Willow starts roaring in laughter, I start to chuckle "what do you think this is funny? Why is it when I have bad luck you laugh?" In between laughter she says"I...I don't know but.....it's hilarious....how you have so much bad luck...." I look at her with a serious expression, she raises her eye brow "what's wrong?" She asked. I hesitate for a minute than I exhale, "I want to tell you something, but I don't know how to word it." She leans in and rolls her hand telling me to go on. "Look, I opened up to you about what I was hiding from you all them years and... ugh never mind.."  I put the truck in drive and Willow grabs my arm, "no tell me please you can't say something, and than stop in the middle of what your saying... that's not fair" I stare at the road thinking about what she said, I like her a lot but I don't want our friendship to change. I'm building up courage to say what I want to say, "Look I love you okay there I said it...but fucking forget about it you don't show interest in me, I used to see it but now yeah forget it" it's silent all the way home. I park in the drive way slamming my door walking to the front door leaving Willow outside. I walk up the stairs and go in the bathroom and take a shower. I hope our put some nice jeans on, and a nice polo shirt put some cologne on and walk down the stairs grabbing my keys where I tossed them at. Willow runs in front of me guarding the door. "Where are you going dressed and smelling like that?" I raise my eyebrow white the most serious face "wouldn't you like to know?" She shoves me away from the door "Carman don't play these smart ass games with me!" I snap at her "what the fuck do you mean me playing games? Huh? I just need to do before I do something I will regret so I suggest you move out of my way" by this time in inches away from her. She seems to lose her breath and moves. I grab the door handle and hesitate, I look back at her she turns away from me. I reach out for her and grab her and pull her in for a hug I rest my chin on her head. I whisper to her "I'm sorry" Willow squeezes me tight "I'm sorry too" she says as she sniffles. I look at her and lift her chin up to look at me, I wipe away her tears and search her eyes for the okay for me to kiss her. As I stare into her beautiful fluorescent blue eyes, as our lips crash together. Willows beautiful plump lips, so soft I suck in her bottom lip. She lets out a faint moan which causes me to stop before it's too late. I turn away and head for the kitchen she follows like a lost puppy, I look at her and smile "do you want to help me cook a spectacular dinner or do you want to order something?" Willow chuckles and says "well when you said spectacular you got me excited so what's the plan?" I think to myself I'm happy she's happy and that's all that matters....
"well I was thinking Italian how does that sound?" Willow grins "sounds great" I look at her and say "let's get started!"  We cook Spaghetti alla carbonara and we laugh and get a long the whole time. The first time in a while we didn't fight I like this I miss this I wish we could be more....
