My Best Friend's New Boyfriend

My Best Friend's Back

"Today's the day, the day Kylee gets back!" I thought to myself.

***

I wait for a couple of hours for Kylee's plane to land, excited to hear her voice again since I haven't in forever because she said she was too busy with a surprise to call me.

"Attention Flight 76A has now landed" said the intercom lady.

About 20 minutes later I see a man walk through the door and he stops to fix his bag.

"Woah." I think, "I need a reason to talk to him...hmm...ah ha!"

"Hey, you just got off the flight from London right?" I say.

"Actually ya, I hate to be a bother, but do you know where the bath-house might be?" he says with an accent.

"Ah, so you're new here."

"What was the the hint, my clothes or not knowing where the bath-house is?" he chuckles. I never knew a laugh like that could exist. And I fell instantly in love.

"Actually it was that sexy accent."

He laughs again. "That's what they all say. So do you know where the bath-house is?"

"Ya right around the corner, but before you go what's your name?"

"Daniel James Howell"

"I'll call you Dan."

"That works too. Well I'll see you later!" ha starts to walk to where I described the bath-house to be.

"...Wait!"

He stops in his tracks, "Yes?"

"Are you going to come back?"

"Yes, I'm waiting for someone."

I have must looked skeptical because he hands me his carry-on bag.

"Here, now I have to come back." he says.

I smile a little, OK a lot and I just kind a just a nervous laugh as he walks off.

"Wait did he say he was waiting for someone? Does he have a girlfriend? of course he does, I'm so stupid!" I think to myself.

I sit and wait for who I try to convince myself is Kylee, but I know I'm just hopin to see Dan again. And wishing that he was only waiting for his flat mate.

"Hey! long time, no see! Kylee practically shouts.

Hey! Now where's that surprise you keep oning about?"

"He should be somewhere around here..."

"Oooh, it's a guy?"

She gives a phony smile and shrugs, "Maybe..."

"Actually, I think I may have found a guy too."

"What? Why didn't you tell me!

"Well I didn't really have time to with you not talking to me because you were so busy with your surprise! And I kind of just met him..."

"Oooh, Lauren! You have to introduce me!"

"I will, he's just in the--

"Wait, why do you have Dan's bag?" she cuts me off.

"Did she just say Dan? It can't be possible...can it? No!" I think to myself as I just stand there, stunned.

"Hey ladies, wait this is Lauren?" Dan says as equally shocked as I was.

"Yep! This is the bestie!" she wraps here arm around mine and squeezes while I stay stunned. "Now where's that guy you told me about?" She asks me.

I should have just said it was Dan and it would have been awkward, yes, but only for a few days instead of me pawning over him until I couldn't take it anymore!

"Oh, he must have left...Oh, well..."

"Oh, I'm sorry Lauren...I know let's all go out to eat and get your mind off things." she says in her usually cheery, dumb-found tone.

So we leave the airport and head to the closest restaurant...Wait did I just call my best friend's boyfriend sexy, out aloud!? This is going to be tough...
