We Can't Be Just Best Friends (Completed)

14

I ran out as quickly as possible to avoid the aftermath. 

I managed to get out of the frat house , only to be stopped by Brad's hand gripping my wrist. 

" Please " he begs

" What ? " I snapped

" Don't run " he begs again. The way his eyes pour into mine , it just melts me but I have to stay strong ..

" You're drunk " I spoke

" No I'm not. I was , out makeout session sobered me " he said truthfully I believe. 

" So what , what is this ? You want us to continue making out like that on the sink , in the parties ?" I asked

" No , I mean yeah I want to kiss you but please I don't want to loose you" he said

" Loose me , you made me loose you " I snapped

" And I am sorry " he said . I stared at him not knowing what to say next.

" You can't expect me to forgive you and move on with how it was " I said calmer than before.

" It's not what I am saying , just give me a chance , i know you don't want us together but maybe we can just stay friends " he said his hands loosening the grip. 

" You can't be doing that. Brad we were In relationship for 4 years and then bam we broke up , we haven't been talking since the past 4 months and then you can't just expect me to be friends again !" I explained .

" I know but these 4 months I have Been dying , literally dying. I am nothing without my best friend " he said and here it goes again . He knows it that if I never listen to him as a girlfriend I will always listen to him as a best friend , after all we were together for 16 years.

" I don't know " I sighed after a couple of minutes of silence.

" Listen Luna , I am not expecting you to forgive me straight away but nor am I expecting you to completely push me away when you have the chance for us to be friends again . Look all I am asking is to go back to how it was 4 years before , just best friends , nothing else " he said.  I want to go back to how it was but I also don't want to. 

" I don't know " I spoke truthfully

" Take your time , whenever you're okay just tell me over text or something . I so need my best friend back " he said smiling.  What about your girlfriend.

" I - I will see " I lost it or I just wanted to get away. 

" Promise ? " He asked and somewhere I wanted it but I also didn't and I didn't wanted to lie. 

" I guess " I simply replied.  He frowned at my reply but ignored to go on further. 

" Want me to drop you off ?" He asked after a couple of minutes of awkward silence. 

" Uh - you're drunk " I replied.  He nodded. 

" You can drive !" He said .

" What about you then ?" I asked generally.

" I'll just ask someone to drop me off or I'll see " he said. 

The only thing that came in my mind was
" You can come with me and stay the night , if you're okay with that " which was fine by me since Melissa never returns after a party.

" What ?" He asked not believing what I just offered. 

" You can come with me and stay over " I answered again

" Uh okay if that's fine by you " he said and I nodded assuring him that I was. 

He took out the keys from his back pocket and handed it to me and lead towards the car.
