『𝚁𝙴𝙴𝙲𝙴'𝚂 𝙿𝙾𝚅』

I woke up on the couch not knowing why I was there in the first place. I remember going to my boss' dinner party last night. I probably got drunk and I was too tired to go to the bedroom. I stood out of bed and looked out the window: no sight of my car. "How the hell have I gotten home?" I ask myself. I heard steps in the kitchen. I got scared so I grabbed my gun and went to check only to see Freya making breakfast. "Freya, what the fuck are you doing here?" I ask completely surprised. "You really don't remember that I stayed over last night? she asked me smiling. "Wait what? Why? And where's my car?" I asked confused. "I drove you home last night, you dummy." she answered. "What the- Was I really that drunk?" I asked again. "Yes. Yes you were. You were so drunk that you confessed your feelings for me." she said calmly. "I did what?!" I exclaimed. I couldn't believe I could have done such thing. I must've been fucking wasted. "I could've sworn you won't remember anything by morning." she said. "Also you insisted me to stay over because you were scared to let me drive at night." she added. "Oh, at least I've done one good thing." I said looking down. "So, I really said those things?" I added scratching my head. "Yeah, you fucking did." she said smiling. Thank god she didn't look mad at all. At this moment I really wish I could remember what she said last night. Does she feel the same? Did I ask her to be my girlfriend? Did she say yes? Did she refuse me? I was one confused mess and I wanted to bang my head against the wall. "And...um...what did you tell me?" I swear I looked like a dumbfuck in front of her and I hated myself so fucking much. "Well, I told you that I refused to believe your drunk ass. So we can talk now about what you truly feel, now that you're sober." she told me kindly. She was looking at me so lovingly and kindly. It made me extremely confused. "So, um, yeah, all that shit that I said and don't remember is 100% true. I do really love you." I confessed avoiding to make eye contact with her. I've never said words like those to anyone before. She was special. She deserved to hear those words. "Well the thing is, I can't say those words back." She said approaching me. "But I can tell you one thing: you matter to me. A lot actually. I look back at the times when I said that I hated you and I just want to beat the crap out of my dumb ass. You really are an amazing guy. You saved my life and I still don't know how I could ever thank you for that." she added. "It's okay. I'm not forcing you to say anything back. If you ever feel anything for me just tell me. I'll always be here for you no matter what." I said as I dragged her closer to me. I loved having her in my arms almost as much as I loved her person. Her whole self was something else. Something, better said someone that I have never met before. Someone with a story behind them almost as tragic as mine. Someone that understood me perfectly. Someone that meant to me more than my entire existence. Someone that I truly loved.
